I applied through college (Vellore) , the first was a coding round with 2 questions and they were easy . The next process was the next day where we went through 2 technical and 1 HR round. The technical rounds consisted of east OOPS and data structures questions and mostly on the projects in your resume. They eliminate the candidates after each round . In the final HR round they ask questions like tell me about yourself , your strengths and weakness and some puzzle questions . Thats all folks :)
