i faced 3 rounds for the R&D Engineer position. The first round covered basic electronics and digital circuits. As I had prior experience, I didn't have to take a written exam, although one might have been part of the process. In the second round, there were four interviewers who asked about my previous work and some questions regarding operational amplifiers in electronic circuits.

We got an email about shortlisting, then we were called to the head office on a specific date. About 50 students were called. A written test was conducted to check basics. It was an objective type paper and the result was declared in 15-20 minutes. Candidates who cleared the written test were called for the next round of technical interview and HR interview.
