I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Vāranāsi) in Aug 2012
Interview
Pretty quick interview , just wanted to check basics . Asked few HW design questions regarding FSM . Then few SW questions regarding tree walk algorithms . Then asked about general trend in Low power design for SOC
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NVIDIA (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2015
Interview
applied through internet,and then HR contact me to phone interview. The process takes 45 mins. The interviewer is very nice. Questions are about basic c programming, digital design, Linux, computer architecture such as pipeline and data hazards, structure hazard and control hazard.The interviewer gave me some hints for the programming questions, I really learned a lot from this interview.

Interview
got an interview call after college career fair.
had first phone interview about 45mins long
then was asked for 2 more in weeks time.
had back to back interviews with 2 different people each lasting about an hour.
was not expecting an offer as I didnt know any "Test" related subjects and entire last interview was about testing but I guess they were impressed by approach rather than actual answers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
phone interview 1 -
cache related question (extending the question solved at career fair, the guy had my paper with him)
Explain cache replacement policies.
which cache replacement policy is better ?
show it by giving some memory accesses.
Virtual memory question (extension of career fair question)
Explain virtual memory mechanism
phone interview 2
C++ coding questions
write a swap function
write Fibonacci function (recursively and non recursively)
Data structure questions
explain linked list
can you code it (I told I dont know how to)
phone interview 3
Test related questions
Do you know TAP controller ? (I didnt at that time)
if there are n inputs and m outputs how many patterns will be needed to test the circuit completely? (I replied 2^n :p )
explain stuck at fault models (I didnt know this either)
he explained stuck at model to me and ask me how will you find if the wire is suck at 0 or not
didnt know the answer but tried explaining my approach (which was correct as I learnt later activate and propagate).
