It was a straight forward two round interview process with a manager and a HR manager. very less technical questions were asked during the interview as i was a fresher. They were more interested in my communication skills and my willingness/adaptability to work in any geography of the country. Questions were also pretty simple like Tell me about yourself, Technologies that you are aware of, explain the collage project etc.,
