The interview process was pretty straightforward, with a total of 5 rounds. It began with a written test covering aptitude and general English. After that, there was a group discussion (GD) where we debated the topic of nuclear energy. Next, a technical round focused on Java, C, and academic subjects. The managerial round involved an IQ test, and finally, there was an HR interview.

I had to travel a long distance because a telephonic interview wasn't an option. Once I got to the interview location, the interviewer conducted a telephonic interview, which felt pointless. The requirements weren't clear and the questions weren't really to the point. The interviewer seemed restless and didn't give me enough time for a proper discussion.

There were four rounds in total for the interview, and I'd say the difficulty was easy to moderate. It started with a phone screening, and then I was invited for an onsite interview. Overall, it was a good experience.
