I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Synopsys (Hyderabad) in Mar 2012
Interview
Had to go through a 3 stage interview process for an intern position.
first round :
Was more on what I knew about digital design, few questions on adder/subtractor were thrown. Couple of questions on latches and flops.
Detailed operation of transistor, with curves and v/i equations.
second round:
was more on layout , was asked to draw layout of a mosfet, I was very comfortable here thanks to the interviewer, it was more like a discussion. fairly easy.
third round:
I was asked on logical reason (kind of strange), then was asked to write a algorithm to draw a rectangle , then using this logic I was asked to draw layouts with varied shapes. This was fun, the interviewer more looking towards my approach than the correctness.
Finally , had an interview with HR , where I was told more on the internship details, policies etc.

Interview
The interview process was pretty relaxed. I was called up by the manager of the team that was interested in hiring me. There were two interviews, one by the manager and another by another senior member of the staff.
They were basically interested in the work that I was doing under my professor. The interviews went well and I was given a call by the HR would told me that they were going to extend me the internship offer.
