In my case, I went through one HR round and then appeared for AMCAT test which I cleared. After that it was the operations round where I was asked about my native place and the reasons why I want to work so early (since I was only 21 years old). The person checked my stability as well and asked a bit about basic computer knowledge as well. Overall it was an easy interview and if you know how to play with words, you're good to go!
