I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TATA ELXSI (Hyderābād) in Dec 2010

Initially mail communication, then attended a written test, was mostly on C, RTOS and embedded system general questions. After clearing waited for some couple of hours, then a technical round where RTOS and C questions were asked, interview was more around implementation and where these scenarios exist in real systems, after clearing technical round, HR round had simple queries like where would u like to see yourself after 5 years, what all you read etc.
