This was a campus interview. For selecting 3 members they were about 10 from the campany,this shows how much they emphasis on quality input. The interview was very rigorous, 7 rounds in total.

Round 7:This was an aptitude round consisting of 50 q to be answered in 12 mins.The questions were pretty easy. All the 3 of us were selected.overall it was a great experience,never had this kind of interviews before.My advice is to be yourself,theory questions will not be asked,only logical types.They check your logical ability and not your knowledge like others.The panelist were all very great professionals.

I applied through College/University. The process took 2 days. It was a very tough process consisting of 2 initial rounds of coding - pattern coding followed by logical coding problem. Most of the filtering was done in the pattern coding round itself. Only around 30 people could make it through out of 200+. The second round consisted of a long logical problem where they basically see what kind of approach you are taking. Solving it is not a priority. Only 12 people could make it to the Technical Interview Rounds(yeah, there are 2 of these!!). In technical interview 1, they ask purely technical based like java, dbms etc. In technical interview 2, they ask questions based on your CV etc, HR Round: It is only for formality, if you reach this round you have almost cleared the interview. This is followed by a Written Test. A very rigorous process after which it selected just 2 students!!!
