Interview
I got hired on-campus. There was a written test first. Then, two-rounds of technical interview followed by a HR-interview. In the written, questions were from Computer Science, Mathematics, and Electronics. In the technical round, they asked me about the basics of C, OOP, data Structure, Operating Systems and Networking. In the HR round, general questions such as why do you want to join the company, etc.
