I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm in Aug 2013
Interview
It was through campus recruitment. They had two technical rounds. I cleared the first roud but was rejected in the second. In the first round they asked questions based on Finite State Machines. Also a simple digital circuit and it's truth table. Also I was asked to design an N-MOS inverter. There was also a puzzle - if there are 21 balls with only one weighing heavier, how will you find it using only one weighing balance in the minimum number of weighings?
In my second round I was asked to design the FSM for a Vending Machine. And then they asked me to solve a timing analysis question which I couldn't. It was a little complex involving setup and hold time.

Interview
Obtained an interview through campus recruiting. It consisted of an hour and a half phone interview which started out with going through the resume and then led to several technical questions as a follow-on. After this, there was a day long on-site interview, starting with a 1hr presentation to a team of 8 people, followed by 1-1 sessions with several engineers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Analyze a switched capacitor circuit that one of the engineers drew, design a bias generator circuit, design a state machine
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Jaipur, Rajasthan) in Aug 2012
Interview
First, there was a multiple choice computer based test. 3 parts: 1) Aptitude: Pretty simple questions asked. 20 questions
2.)Computer programming: 15 questions .lengthy and time consuming questions on mainly loops and conditional statements
3.) VLSI : MAinly questions on Microprocessors , digital design and a few on communication as well. 20 questions.
Then shortlist for interview. 2 technical rounds and a HR.
Technical rounds: digital : questions on digital design, state diagrams, CMOS invertors and Microprocessors

Question 1
one question on CMOS invertor and another on harmonics of PSRR and something like that
