I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Bengaluru) in Jul 2020
Interview
Qualcomm visited our campus for Internship to hire for both hardware as well as software profiles.
Round 1 [Written Test]:
1st Round was an online MCQ test conducted by HirePro, There were 3 sections,
Each section consisted of 20 questions of 1 mark each to be finished in 30 minutes. There was a negative marking of .25 per question.
Section 1(30 mins):
First section was not so tough there were aptitude questions along with few quant, word coding and logical reasoning questions.
Section 2(30 mins):
Second section completely consisted of C output based questions. Most of them were time consuming bit manipulation questions ( almost 70 percent).
Section 3(30 mins):
It was based on your preference (Computer Science/Electronics). I chose Computer Science and there were questions from DS, OS, Architecture and Networking, Digital Logic. Most questions were from C, OOPS , few from DS.
Interview questions [1]

I applied online. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Farnborough, London, England) in Jun 2026
Interview
Three weeks after applying, I was invited to a 30-minute screening interview for this Friday. However, only 20 minutes before the scheduled start time, they requested to reschedule to Monday. Given that I had already rearranged my day to accommodate the original meeting, I chose to withdraw my application out of respect for my own time.
I approach interviews spontaneously, focusing on genuine technical discussions rather than memorized answers. I share real experiences from my embedded software projects, discussing complex issues with sensor integration very naturally.
It will be 3 round interview process with 2 round technical and 3 will be managerial round .
In Technical round it would be DSA : LinkList, Bit manupulation mostly
They would ask regarding oops concept .They will also ask regarding question mentioned in resume . It would be interactive .
In managerial round you could be asked about work related stuf and salary expectation
