I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed before Oct 2019. There was 1 interview round.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - This was the technical round that lasted for about 15-20 minutes. The interviewer was testing the basic domain knowledge and programming skills. Most questions were from the skills included in my resume (C, Python, Computer Networking). I was from ECE branch so he asked few questions related to ECE also. I answered most of the questions. My advice will be to prepare well for the interview. Go through your resume word by word and include only those skills that you are confident about. Most importantly you have to be confident while answering the questions. Maintain good eye contact and don't get nervous. Also you should have complete knowledge about the projects that you include, here the interviewer was trying to check whether the projects wee done by me or I have just included it anyway.
