Candidate-reported interview process

They asked a lot of networking questions about ip and protocols like rip, igrp, igmp and other things like dns and dhcp protocols. So prepare for the basics well. All the best, it's easy if you are strong with networking concepts.

They had a 4 round process for the candidates. First round was an online test. Second round was a group discussion. Third round was a technical round. Final round was a technical + HR round. All that you need is interests towards networking , and eagerness in understanding networking applications.

I applied through campus, the first round was so hard, I couldnt crack it. It consisted fully of network questions of layer 3 and layer 4 of the network layer. Yes, that is my experience.
