We had an online screening test with two coding questions and an aptitude test. The aptitude MCQs included beginner questions on networks and systems, which were relatively easy.
There were three rounds to the interview process:
The technical round grilled me on my projects and asked basic DSA and slightly advanced network questions, as I had mentioned my skill in networks. The managerial round also asked a couple of project-based questions, discussed my coding experience, and included a few managerial HR questions.
The HR round was smooth. The interviewer got to know me better and asked about my knowledge of CISCO and its competitors, my preferred work location, and my flexibility with work hours.
At the end of the day, since it was campus recruitment, they proceeded with the first eight candidates who interviewed first. Therefore, I missed the opportunity even after answering every question correctly.
