On campus hiring. First was aptitude and technical test. It had 30 questions in 30 minutes. It was an easy test with basic aptitude mostly quant, then it had situational and technical question more like what will you do if there is this technical issue. The next round was on site in their company. It was again a test of 20 minutes with 2 easy coding question on string and array. We had to simply type the code on a text box, not on IDE. We had an AI section which had deep AI concepts and required moderate knowledge of AI. Another section was ML where we were asked about testing, training a model, how will I handle deployment if model accuracy is 60%, etc.

This on company test had students from different campuses too. After this test, there was a technical interview in which they mostly focused on the resume. As my resume had one AI project with MERN full stack, the questions were about how exactly I used AI, what do I know about it.

The role was AI research intern, so they asked me about different AI I know and how can I use them. Then I was asked about how I feel about the company, its work culture, how did I feel about this hiring process and if I were to replace one part of this complete hiring process with AI, what would that be and why?

After this technical interview, 4 candidates went for the final HR round which was basically just general HR questions and internship schedules, career opportunity, stipend breakup, etc. All 4 were given the offer letter. This HR round was more like a final chat to make clear communication and not to shortlist or eliminate candidate. Which I liked the most about this company.

If I were to replace one part of complete hiring process with AI, what would that be and why? (Aptitude+ technical round, Resume screening, On site technical test, Technical interview, HR round)
