It was an approximately 75-minute long online assessment round on the Amcat platform. The entire round was MCQ based. 

There were 4 sections- Aptitude, English paragraphs, Reasoning, Computer Science fundamentals on Software Engineering, HTML/ CSS etc.

• The aptitude section included most of the questions from profit-loss, compound interest and percentage.
   
• In the English paragraph section, there were around 3 paragraphs given and then a few questions needed to be answered based on the paragraph.  
   
• The Computer Science section was very simple and just fundamentals were asked like output of applying given CSS to an HTML div. Some straightforward Software Engineering questions like coupling v/s cohesion.
   
• The reasoning section was also not very tricky. Traditional reasoning problems like find the missing number in the pattern or identify the missing pattern from a given set of images.

It was a group discussion round but with a slight variation. All 10 of us were given 1 common topic and then were sub-divided into small groups of 2-3. Then we discussed points within our sub-group for 10 minutes. After that each one of us was given 5 minutes to note down in bullet points about our view on the topic and submit it. Then each one of us went in front of everyone and explained our points as written in our note submitted earlier to everyone in the room. We were allowed to speak only for 2 minutes.
After everyone was done, the interviewer of the discussion master explained his thought process and explained how he would have approached the topic. He was quite motivating and explained us about the role in general. 3 folks out of this 10 people group were selected for the next round. It was quite a good experience and a healthy discussion on the topic.

This was the last round and first face to face, 2 on 1(meaning 2 interviewers and 1 interviewee) technical interview. They started with a basic intro and straightforward deep-dived into projects. They asked about the tech stack used and questions around those tech stacks. In my case, I was asked to write SQL queries on various scenarios. I was also asked DBMS problems like 2-NF and 3-NF. One simple data structure question on arrays was also asked to me. However, they did focus on optimizing my code.
