I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Saint-Gobain
Interview
First, there was an online test consisting of aptitude and technical questions. Then few students were shortlisted for interview. Mechanical engineering and electrical engineering were eligible for this role. I belong to EEE background and interview was purely technical. Questions were focused on fundamentals.
