Interview
The aptitude test was probably the simplest you can ever find. The verbal part was a piece of cake and math( quantitative ) part was definitely solvable. The only thing is the cut off mark for individual sections and also overall is pretty high. So just make sure that you do well in both sections. The filtering was pretty high, only 48 out of 370 got into the next round. the technical interview and HR interview happened simultaneously, they asked me to write programs and also asked me from my line of interest which is microprocessor, tech interview happened for almost half an hr in my case and few of my other friends had a panel technical interview consisting of 2 or 3 technical interview, The HR round was very simple and they just checked my fluency as such.finally out of 370, 30 of us got placed.
