First, they screened based on CGPA, and only students from Electrical or Mechanical domains were allowed. Then, there was a group discussion where 9 people had to work on a case study. After that, a psychometric test was conducted, which involved a memory game. This was followed by an online test that included aptitude and technical questions, with the technical part being quite challenging.
