Company Profile :

As market demand drives electronics companies to pack more performance and functionality into chips manufactured at ever-smaller geometries, designers begin to hit a wall of complexity—especially as we enter the nanometer era. Today's semiconductors and electronic systems are so complex that creating them would be impossible without electronic design automation (EDA).

Cadence Design Systems is the world's leading EDA technologies and engineering services company. Cadence helps its customers break through their challenges by providing leading edge electronic design solutions that speed advanced IC and system designs to volume production. Customers use Cadence software and hardware, methodologies, and services to design and verify advanced semiconductors, printed circuit boards and systems used in consumer electronics, networking and telecommunications equipment, and computer systems.

The selection process is as follows
Aptitude test :
100 questions 25 minutes. No negative marks.

All simple questions but the condition is you have to answer all with in time. So try to answer all questions.

Technical TEST

70 questions 40 minutes

Areas covered are networks,OS,RDBMS(more questions),C Apps(5 questons),Some electronics based questions.

Group Discussion:

It is not like usual GD . All are to speak for 1 minute about the given topic.They select for Technical interview(mostly 45 min) and then HR inter(45 min).
Its easy to get selected in cadance if you handle the situation neatly. Mostly they also look for rank toppers in degree.
