Interview
I had applied through the campus. 1 written test and 2 technical rounds. The written test was pretty simple. It consisted 20 MCQs and 2 coding questions. They just wanted to test how many people could actually code, it acted like a filter for the next rounds. The MCQs were ranging all the subjects, Theory, Coding, Algorithms, OS.

The interview wasn't bad. The initial interview was an online test. The coding part wasn't too bad. The multiple questions were time consuming though. The questions are small initially. Then they start getting huge and realize that should not have spent time on the smaller questions.

Interview
I applied online and got an email the next day to schedule a phone interview. I scheduled one within 3 days. It turned out that was a mistake. I did not get enough time to study and practice coding. I suggest to get at least about 2 weeks to prepare if you haven't done so.
