Each year Texas Instruments (TI) India sponsors some students for the analog electronics MS program at IIT Madras. One of my friends went through the whole process and here are some of the useful snippets of her experience.

  • Written Test - There will be a written test first. It is a two-hour test covering many interesting topics from analog electronics such as OPAMPS, BJTS, MOSFET, RLC circuits. But instead of straightforward questions, they will have questions with various combinations of the topics. In total there were 20 questions in this test.
  • Presentation - Then an HR from Texas Instruments (TI) India will present you a PPT. There will also be some seniors who were selected the previous year. They will share their experiences.
  • Technical Interview - After that from the 40 odd students who took the written test around 10 will be called for the technical interview. The interview will most probably start after lunch. The panel of three asked my friend to solve the questions which they had given in the written test, but she answered incorrectly. They will also ask some other additional questions as well.
  • HR Interview - Finally there will be an HR round of interviews, where you would be asked about yourself, your strengths, weaknesses, past experiences, and many other things. After about 1 hour of the interview, you would get your provisional admission letters along with a TI scientific calculator.

In the interview, they are looking for your thought process and your approach to the problem rather than the exact correct answer as my friend did give a wrong answer but still got selected.

Also, the professors and the interviewers were very helpful and will guide you. The questions in the tests and the interviews will test you very thoroughly so you should have a stronghold over the subject. You can go through the preparatory materials posted on the website and the electronics book by Sedra and Smith.
