How to prepare for a VLSI interview

  1. Start with Verilog and digital basics. Blocking vs non-blocking, latches, FSMs and resets come up in almost every fresher interview.
  2. For verification (DV) roles, go deeper into SystemVerilog OOP, randomization, assertions and UVM.
  3. Answer out loud. Knowing the answer is different from explaining it clearly in 1 minute. Use the bot's 🎤 Speak mode to practise.
  4. Be ready for the follow-up. Every answer here lists what the interviewer may ask next.
  5. Know your own projects. Interviewers always ask about the FIFO, protocol or testbench on your resume.
