Aptitude test was the first round and followed by interview process. I cleared first round. It was my second interview in college placement drive.I went through two interviews(technical and Non-technical). In the beginning i was little nervous to answer the questions which were asked by the recruiter and I did small mistakes in the way of answering. later on I got confidence and did well. In the technical interview,the questions were asked from latest technologies and programming languages. on clearing my technical interview, I entered into non-technical round where the HR tested my confidence and communication skills.
