Interview
There were 4 rounds... Beginning with a Skills test covering questions on Java, J2EE, Data base etc. This round is really tricky and time based. The next round was "Design round". You have to architecture a solution for the given problem definition. The next stage is a face to face interview. Clearing these rounds will take you to a Senior manager who will assess your candidature further.
