Interview
My interview experience was insightful and professional. The panel focused on technical fundamentals, problem-solving, and practical applications. I felt confident discussing my projects, and it was a great learning opportunity.
It was moderate for me. At first there will be communication test in online where we did it in our home. Then the shortlisted students are sent to technical round which is offline. We had to do it in College. We didnt get to choose the cluster. I was not shortlisted for further rounds.
