How Texas Instruments Interviews in 2026: Process, Sample Questions & What They Score

Officially, you submit an application, a recruiter reviews it to see whether you fit the role, and applications stay open until the role is filled. TI says the time to hear back varies, because interviews continue until a match is found. Many candidates first meet recruiters at university career fairs or on-campus interviews, and a Feb 2026 Dallas internship report describes applying through LinkedIn and being contacted by a recruiter. Timing depends on the role and on the campus recruiting calendar. The stages after this one are candidate-reported, are not on TI's official page, and do not follow one fixed order across regions.

Mostly a campus-drive stage in India. Software-role reports describe MCQs split into aptitude (20 questions in 30 minutes) and a technical section (OS, DBMS, C, memory, embedded C, 8051 or CS fundamentals) inside a 60 to 75 minute test. Shortlists are small (about 24 of 250 in one report, about 21 and about 13 in others). Design-role reports differ: a Jul 2025 Bengaluru campus report describes a test where you pick two domains of 20 questions at 45 minutes each plus an aptitude section, and FACE Prep's May 2026 guide lists about 20 aptitude questions (about 20 minutes) and about 20 technical questions per profile (about 30 minutes). Some US and Malaysia reports describe a short knowledge test instead, for example a 20-question basic electronics paper of about half an hour in Kuala Lumpur, and a parallel-circuit current and resistance problem in a Texas technician hiring visit. Not every report describes this stage.

Candidate-reported and mainly India campus drives; not on TI's official page

Candidates record answers to roughly 4 to 8 behavioral questions, with timed windows (about 30 seconds to 1 minute to prepare and 1 to 3 minutes to answer in the reports that say). One report mentions a 48-hour deadline to complete it. Most full-time reports date from 2013 to 2016. A Nov 2025 Philippines internship report (HireVue, then a phone interview) and an Apr 2026 internship report (5 video answers, 4 written responses and 3 multiple-choice questions, about 1 minute to prepare and 2 minutes to answer, one attempt) show the step is still used, at least for internships. No total length is stated for the 2026 format.

Full-time reports are mostly 2013 to 2016; internship reports from 2025 and 2026 also describe it

Run by a recruiter, an engineer, a hiring manager or a team lead. It often opens with resume questions and moves to basic technical checks (op-amps, MOSFETs, filters) plus behavioral questions. Reported lengths run from a short phone screen of about 15 minutes to a one-hour interview. In India campus drives this is the main technical interview, reported at about 30 to 60 minutes, with a resume and project walk-through and C or DSA coding (on paper in an on-campus IIT report, in a Notepad window in a remote Bengaluru intern report, and shared through the meeting comments in one 2023 campus report). A Feb 2026 Dallas internship report describes a single round with the department's team lead.

Reported for US applications, product engineering and rotation roles, mostly in 2013 to 2019 reports, plus a May 2024 Dallas product engineer report. You present a short slide deck (3 to 5 slides in one report) on a past technical project, by webcam or screen share in the reports that say how, then answer questions on design choices, the alternatives you considered, and related technical topics.

Candidate-reported for some US roles; not every loop has one

Reports describe 2 to 3 interviews, each with a pair of engineers or managers, covering both behavioral and technical questions; one 2012 report adds two 20-minute interviews with a manager. Reports mention a panel followed by a solo interview, and a team lunch or dinner. TI paid for flights, hotel or a rental car in several US reports. One 2024 analog design report describes 6 hours of all-technical interviews with 4 engineers, and a May 2024 Dallas report describes two in-person rounds, one behavioral and one technical.

Candidate-reported; format and length vary by role and year

Shows up mainly in India campus reports. It is conversational: why TI, interests, plans for higher studies, and for interns whether you would stay if offered a pre-placement offer. FACE Prep describes it as the final stage and typically shorter than the technical rounds. Some reports have no separate HR round (an Aug 2024 Bengaluru embedded intern report, an Oct 2023 Bengaluru intern report, and a Dec 2025 IIT report where candidates were selected straight after the technical interview). Whether you get one depends on the region and the program.

Candidate-reported, India campus reports; skipped in some loops

A recruiter follows up with the decision. TI's page says that if you get an offer you should review the role scope, responsibilities and benefits and complete any next steps from your recruiter, and that if you do not get one you should request feedback where possible. Glassdoor's overall average is 19 days across 2,797 reports; its analog design page puts analog roles at 15 days and gives 24 days as the company-wide average. India campus results can come out the same day. A few 2025 reports say the candidate never heard back or that silence for a week meant no offer.
