      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Goa) in Feb 2015

      Interview

      It was On Campus Interview. Initially we had an Online examination, question were from topics ranging from C programming to microprocessors, from MOSFETs to subnet masking.There were also a few aptitude questions. Apti questions were little bit tough.Out of 36 people who appeared for online test 15 were shortlisted. After that we had two round of interviews.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      In my first technical round interview.I was asked some very basic C question.When I say basic I mean very basic you should know how memory allocation works in C. I was asked following questions: 1. How to find out size of structure without using sizeof() function 2. What are holes in C 3. What is inheritance. 4. What are copy constructor and virtual function. 5.C program to reverse a linked list. After that I had another round.Not sure whether that round was technical or HR .My interviewer grilled me for my low CGPA for around 50 min. He just asked me to write a code in python to print prime number between 1 and 100(since I mentioned Python in my resume). He also asked me what I know about software testing and whether I am willing to do software testing at CISCO. End of the day it was all about CGPA. They selected two students with highest and second highest CGPA.
