Texas Instruments interview questions

Texas Instruments visited our campus for hiring pre-final years for summer internship. They offered following roles: Digital Intern-B.Tech. – ECE, EE Analog Intern-B.Tech. – ECE, EE Software Development Intern-B.Tech. – CSE CPI criteria were 6 with no active backlogs. I applied for software development intern. There were a total of 2 Rounds: ROUND 1: It was an online assessment comprising of two sections. Section1 -Problem Solving It contained 20 aptitude based MCQs. There were puzzles, permutation and combination questions, data interpretation, Graph interpretation an basic trigonometric questions. Section2 -Technical It contained 30 technical MCQs. These were questions based on JAVA, python, C++, Operating System, Networks, DBMS and OOPS . As a result, 21 students got shortlisted for Interview. ROUND 2: It was an online interview . There was only one interview round . There were two interviewers in the panel. Firstly , I was asked to give a brief introduction about myself. After this I was asked about projects and make sure to have a deep knowledge about your mentioned projects. I was asked in depth about MongoDB, API calls and then I was asked a DSA question about “Partition an array into two subarrays with equal Sum”-an easy question. I was not asked to write a code but just to present a clear approach and write a pseudo code on notepad itself. Once again I was asked about projects. Since my Project is a web dev project based on MERN stack I was asked about React in great detail. Also some terminologies like lifecycle hooks, promise and subscription were asked which I could not answer. Then they asked if I had any questions and then the interview was over. Unfortunately , I wasn’t selected but they selected 5 students for Software Development Intern.

Interview was simple and subtle. He made me comfortable and asked some questions from my resume. Over that he tested my project knowledge and after that he tried to trick me via dsa questions which was easy-medium level and finally there was a medium-hard sql question.Though i answerd them all still got rejected.
