It was simple with a panel of interviewers. We started with a formal greeting and a brief introduction about myself, my past experience, and my works. Then they asked why I was interested in the job. After that, the actual question and answer session began. Mostly, they would present a situation and ask me to analyze and respond. Based on my answer, they would ask follow-up questions. Finally, they asked some questions about current affairs.
