I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru) in Jul 2015
Interview
The recruitment process started with an online test comprising of aptitude, networking and c concepts. Then we had 2 rounds of technical interviews mostly on c , c++ and data structures.
Apart from these concepts, questions on RTOS and computer networks were also asked.
This was followed by an HR round where they were interested in our interests and knowlegde about the profile.
