The interview process involved a written test, a group discussion (GD) with 7 participants and interesting topics, followed by a personal interview with 3 interviewers. The process was well-managed, and I was selected along with some friends. However, I'm concerned about potential rejections for myself and a female friend, as joining letters were only issued to male students.

The interview process felt excessively long. It started with an HR contact who initiated a discussion lasting about an hour. Following that, the plant head conducted a Skype interview that spanned nearly two hours. Subsequently, I was invited for a personal interview. This final stage involved a panel comprising one HR officer, one Plant head, one Operations head, and one Vice president.
