One of the interviewer named as Prem Kumar who took my 4 th round which was a technical interview was taking interview of boys for 25 minutes and was giving no hints to boys and was making fun of boys when they were getting stuck in programming but he took interview of girls for 1 hr 15-20 minutes and also he gave hints to girls when they got stuck in programming.
he was asking the same questions from everyone he [prem kumar ] knew only 2-3 programming questions and the same questions were asked to each of us some of the boys were asked only 1 questions and he left the meeting by saying "better luck next time".
