Round 1 - Aptitude Test 

The assessment focused on general aptitude, which was relatively easy and manageable to pass. However, the pseudo-code section may pose a greater challenge during the first round.

Round 2 - Group Discussion 

It is very easy; you just need to speak at least once to easily pass through this round. mostly they dont try to reject you unless you are very nervous and very low about confidence they want you to speak atleast once , even the point is valid or not.

Round 3 - Coding Test 

You will undergo a written test comprising three coding sections (either in Python or C) containing five or six questions each, along with ten multiple-choice questions on software testing, which are relatively easy. However, the most challenging section is networking, for which you will need to write theory responses; therefore, it is important to prepare thoroughly for that part.
