It was two levels of interviews, then a managerial round and then an HR round with easy questions. The HR person was reluctant to give the offer letter even after selection because they wanted to see if I would negotiate. So they expected me to join without a formal offer.

Behavioral Technical Coding
I initially chatted with a recruiter at a job fair on campus. After that, I had a screening interview and then looked at different job openings. I decided to focus on software engineering positions. Later, I set up a phone interview with the head of the department. The call involved typical interview questions and some coding concepts.
