This was an on-campus placement from my college, JSS Science and Technology University. The interview process involved CGPA shortlisting as the first round. The second round was an online assessment with 15 MCQs. Following that, there was a hackathon, and the final round was an HR interview.

Behavioral

The interview went pretty well even though I didn't get the offer in the end. They asked mostly behavioral questions about my past experiences and how I handled different situations. It's a bummer not to get the job, but I get it and I'm still hopeful for other chances. It was good to talk about my background and learn stuff from it.
