Question 1
they asked mostly from CV, about Econometrics and tough Puzzles like two persons standing in front of heaven and hell gates one always truth and other always lie we have to ask a single question to them each how to find out which gate is of heaven gate,
There are four rounds from personality to intro, case and final round, not particularly tricky but to test the thinking. Very quick process if you are able to make the time
