The entire drive consisted of 4 rounds: 1. Online aptitude round 2. Online coding round 3. Group discussion 4. Final interview The first round of online aptitude consisted of general quantitative aptitude questions, verbal, and a few technical questions. The overall difficulty of this round was easy. The second round consisted of two coding questions of difficulty easy. Both the aptitude and coding tests were taken on the AMCAT portal. The third round consisted of an offline group discussion. We were assembled in our college auditorium and briefed about the company, its roles, impact, etc. This was the pre-placement talk following which the GD round started. Each group consisted of 8 students. Being upcoming engineers, we were asked to discuss general technology-related topics. After giving the topic 2 minutes were given to come up with ideas after which the discussion began. Each GD lasted for 15–20 minutes and 2 rounds were taken simultaneously. The final interview was held shortly after the GD round. The shortlisted students were segregated based on their branches and summoned individually to be interviewed by a panel of two members from the company. The questions asked were entirely based on the projects mentioned in the resume and the topics relating to their projects. Some of the general topics that were asked for CSE students were OOPS and DBMS for which a basic understanding and knowledge of the terms were enough. The interview lasted from somewhere around 20–30 min based on the student. Final verdict: Hired 10 students in total.

1 hour with 2 interviewers. There were about 5-6 questions, and you MUST follow the STAR method. They seemed to be taking extensive notes between each question. They also said if I didn't like the question that I could ask for an alternative question as the questions were meant to learn a specific trait about me.
