Process

  1. Aptitude Round:

(a) Number series questions: 18 questions, 2 minutes 15 seconds per question. The questions were quite tough, but all came from m4maths, so don't panic about it. (b) Aptitude questions: 18 questions, 2 minutes 15 seconds per question. The questions were easy. (c) Business communication questions: 22 questions, 20 minutes. Some questions came from business writing and some from grammar usage.

After that, only one interview round was there, which was a mix of both technical and HR questions. As I told you, my favorite subject is Networking, so the interviewer asked questions from Networking and Java only. The questions they asked were from the CV only.
