Qualcomm had come to my University for two roles – Hardware and Software. I applied for Hardware Role. There was one round of online tests and 2 interview rounds.

The marking scheme was +1 for the correct answer and -0.25 for the wrong answer. Approximately 1500 people gave the test for both software and hardware role.
