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. Finally, there was a personal interview that combined technical questions with an HR round. Be prepared, as the GD and tests together can take up the whole day.
