Technical Technical Behavioral
First, there was an online aptitude test covering quantitative, reasoning, verbal, and engineering stream subjects. Then, the technical interviews began. Technical round 1 focused on C programming, your domain, and projects. They made us wait for 3 hours and then asked us to come back the next day. The same cycle repeated the next day. We never received an offer letter and weren't moved to further rounds, which included managerial and HR interviews.

Technical Coding Behavioral
The whole selection process was divided into three parts. The first part was an online test that mainly covered aptitude. After clearing the online test, the next round was a technical interview, which lasted for about 30 minutes. Most of the questions were about C programming, and I was asked to write some programs. I cleared this round easily. The last part was an HR online test.
