Candidates typically face a three‑stage process: an online aptitude test lasting 30‑45 minutes, followed by a technical interview focusing on networking concepts, Cisco command‑line knowledge, and scenario‑based troubleshooting. The final HR round assesses cultural fit, communication skills, and motivation. The overall difficulty is moderate; thorough preparation of CCNA/CCNP topics and aptitude practice greatly improves success chances.
