Behavioral
It was pretty chill, like, three people interviewed me. They asked about my day-to-day and how my experience fits into the daily tasks. General questions about how I'd approach things and if I'd done similar work before. Nothing super technical.

Coding Technical Behavioral
It was an on-campus, in-person interview process that lasted the whole day, with a total of 4 rounds. The first round involved a briefing about the company and then a coding test where we had to solve any 2 out of 3 given coding questions. The second round was a technical interview for those shortlisted from the first round test. Questions covered the first round test, CS fundamentals, and basic coding. The third round was an interview with the Director, focusing on projects and typical HR questions. The fourth round was with HR, and that was it. After clearing all rounds, they took my full details, but my name wasn't on the final list. When I asked why, they just said it was a company decision.
