Shortlisted candidates then face a technical interview that probes domain knowledge, problem‑solving ability and project experience, followed by an HR round focusing on leadership potential, cultural fit and career goals. The overall difficulty is moderate, and thorough preparation of core subjects and real‑world project examples is key.
