it had a GD, GT, and an Interview. GD, I was surprised by the topic and just left silent, just listening to people, what they are speaking. At last, I spoke 3 sentences. My performance in this round was poor. GT, they were given each word to everyone and make a story out of it. Everyone started thinking of their own word and united them, brought them on one term and tried to make a story out of it. It went quiet well. Then comes the main part, the interview, I nailed it. This is the round which is the reason for my selection, even I have a bit low marks in my GATE exam.

So, there were three rounds in total. First up was a Group Discussion, pretty standard stuff, we got a topic and had to chat about it for a bit while they watched how we talked and worked with others. Then came a Group Task, where we had to tackle a given situation as a team, which was more about seeing how we solve problems together and if we could lead. The last bit was the Personal Interview. They asked me to introduce myself, chat about my interests and hobbies, and then dive into my internship projects. They also threw in some basic Electronics questions, like the core ideas and parts, and a couple of basic Marketing questions, like the 4Ps and how they're used in real life. The panel seemed pretty chill, mainly wanting to get a feel for my technical side and how I am with people.
