Small 30 min interview. After that 12 students got shortlisted for internship. Mainly they were focusing on Java students so if you know java you have great chance.

Interview
WASTE OF TIME. Got a call from HR, asked my expectation and gave an online screening test. Cleared the online challenge, three technical rounds, hiring manager round and HR culture round. Then HR called me to discuss compensation, agreed for what I asked for initially and they said that they will send the offer immediately. Didn't get any response after that for nearly 2 weeks, no response for my calls or emails. Then they called back and said the budget approval is still in progress. It's been 2 months now, not sure why they wasted so much effort when they are not 'OK' with my expectations.
HR team was lethargic from the beginning but completely ghosting away after successful completion shows their worst attitude of frustrating others.
TLDR; Don't trust until you get the offer.

Interview
First screening was a very easy programming challenge and an aptitude test. Both are done through an onlinen platform. About a week after these, they scheduled another programming test where I shared my screen with a Senior Engeneer. There were five programming challenges, a bit more difficult than the first one, but still quite easy. Finally, I was asked to prepare a presentation about some of my college projects. I presented this to 2 other senior engineers who also asked me some technical questions about topics that were described in my CV.

You mention in your CV that you know Java. Could you tell me the difference about an ArrayList and an Array?
