The interview basically was categorized on the basis of phases or the stream to which a candidate is applying. Some went through 2-3 rounds of interview and the others even faced upto 4-5 rounds.
Including a telephonic round as well.
A total of 3 rounds for me. First was a Personal interview that was to check my basic communication skills and the rest to ensure I had clear basis concepts for the job applied. Totally went into the direction of Networking and Network Security.
Second was a Telephonic Interview. That too was to drill down the the networking concepts like IP sub-netting, formatting, recovery of the data from Hard Disk, bios settings and other stuffs that most of the engineering students never bother about. Few concepts from OOPS must be on your finger tips.
After a long wait, I had known that I was rejected as my friends had faced their 3rd interview and I hadn't managed to even get a call for the 2nd. Then was a call for me. A nerdy from somewhere in Bengal, again quizzed me about other complicated details from which most were answered - "Sorry sir". The only thing i explained was the IP configurations and the BIOS settings and the LAN network mgmt idea in a whole.
And guess what, I had made it to the final list.
