After the written test results there were two interviews scheduled technical interview and HR interview. In technical, basics of what you have in your resume were discussed. Logical reasoning questions were asked. I was also told to elaborate my summer internship. Further, the discussion went on my final year project. Some basic questions from my core branch course like welding, its types, brakes, efficiency of engines etc were asked. Finally I was told to code.
