Group Technical Behavioral

I applied through my university in Chennai. The process had 3 parts: first, there were Pre-Placement Talks which went on for about 1.5 hours. After that, only Mechanical students had a written test, others went straight to Group Discussions (GDs). The GD had about 10-12 people per group, and the topics were pretty straightforward. They usually picked a maximum of 3 people from each group, though sometimes nobody was selected. Out of 78 people in GD, 12 made it to the interviews. The interviews were actually quite relaxed. There were 2 people on the panel, and they were really friendly. Each interview lasted around 10-20 minutes. They let us know the results the same day, and 3 people got offers.
