Initial screening call to gauge motivation and ask some "Tell me about a time" questions. If successful, you get invited to an assessment centre. This involves 3 group activities with short presentations afterward. Lunch is provided, and then selected candidates move on to competency and motivation-based interviews, which are pretty straightforward. The assessors are nice!

I applied via campus for an Electrical role. The first round was a resume shortlist, so make sure to have good IoT projects. Then there was a technical round where they asked about my Arduino projects and also C++ (OOPS, Memory allocation etc) in depth. It lasted 35 mins. 2 people were shortlisted for HR round from EEE. Wish me all the best for HR.
