Presentation Behavioral
The interview process involved a mini task where I had to design a project based on my current knowledge, with the prompt given 30 minutes before the interview. I then had to present my work during the interview itself. After that, there were some general questions about things like where I'd like to work, my availability to start, and my academic achievements.
