Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I was asked to explain each and every project in my CV and was asked cross questions. The interviewer also asked questions based on the topics related to my projects.

Most of the interviewers ask us to choose a topic in which we are comfortable and then ask us questions in that topic.
Tips: Be very confident and also very clear with the resume. Be prepared with the major subject of the projects. For example, if you have done a project on designing a controller for some system, then be thorough with control systems part.
When the interviewer asks if you have anything to ask him, ask him very specifically about his work and his team and it would be nice if the interviewer is asked some questions from you in return.
