I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Qualcomm (Mangalore) in Aug 2017
Interview
One technical round followed by HR round. Technical round mostly tested basics. Questions were asked from the relevant background and software as well. C programming skills are a must though others would be appreciated. The questions were not numerical but conceptual in nature. They weren't interested in any exact answer but were more interested in the approach

HR & Technical, pretty standard. There was a few coding questions, and the interviewer was helpful and they were trying to help clarify the questions. HR was helpful and made a lot of customizations for me
