Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
I don't know how the interview process is now, but for me, they followed this structure:
- Telephonic Round (just a self-introduction)
- Aptitude Round (consisted of both aptitude and academic questions related to Networking and OS)
- Technical Round: a) C Programming Test b) Networking Round c) Academic Round (on engineering subjects) d) Group Discussion e) Manager Round (about the company and some technical questions related to Networking) f) Final HR Round - Got canceled (reason: they selected only two people for the HR round and decided to take both). I received my offer letter within 5 days after the final round.
