Applied through their site. For walk-ins, as soon as you enter the lobby, you're greeted with a coding test. Coding section had 2 questions - 1 easy, second trickier (Disk Based Map). Pro tip: Always attempt and demonstrate some problem solving skills, even if you don't manage to solve it completely. 2nd Round: Interviewer seemed prepared with technical questions. This round should be easier than the final one. 3rd Round: Scheduled a few days after the 1st day. Purely technical. Focus on problem solving and practical issues and their solutions. A day or two later HR called to inform that the feedback was positive.

Technical Coding Behavioral
It was like a big recruitment drive with lots of students from different colleges. The first round had aptitude questions, which were pretty easy, and also programming MCQs. You really needed to know your programming for that. About 450 people were there, and only 35-37 got selected for the next stage. I was one of them! The final interview was at the office about a week later. The interviewer was really nice, but unfortunately, I didn't get through the last round.

I applied online and then got a call for an interview. The first round was an online test that took 8 hours and had 133 questions covering java, node, aptitude, angular, sql, logic, and a bunch of other stuff. After that, I had a face-to-face interview which lasted about half an hour and included questions related to my profile.
