Candidate-reported interview process

I had a phone call interview that went for about 30-35 minutes. The tech lead interviewed me and asked a range of questions, from easy to difficult. He asked technical questions and also questions about current affairs, so make sure you prepare for everything! Current affairs are asked based on the situation. He also asked about my project. Overall, the interview went pretty well.

First, there was an online test. They selected about 100 people for the next stage. After that, a group discussion was held for the shortlisted candidates, followed by one technical interview, then a managerial round, and finally the HR round.

A recruiter reached out to me. They gave me an intro and told me what I should prepare for. I'm currently getting ready for the next call.
