It was an on-campus interview, and they selected resumes before calling candidates in. You needed at least 60% in your graduation to be considered.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Can you tell me what you know about Cloud computing?
  • What is your understanding of Fuzzy Systems?

The application process for this role involves the Scientist Entry Test (SET) exam, which is administered nationwide. While campus selections are available at select IITs, NITs, and other universities, the SET is the primary route. You can apply for the SET via newspaper or website ads. A written exam is then conducted, and you'll receive a hall ticket. Based on your written exam performance, you'll proceed to an interview panel. All updates regarding the process are posted on the website.
