  1. Online Assessment:
    The online assessment was for a duration of 45 mins. It consisted of 1 DSA question and 5 MCQs on the basics of CS.

    Verdict - Selected to next round

  3. HR Round:
    This round lasted 45 mins, with a engineering manager asking questions related to experience, interests , questions on interests etc .(For example, if u mention interest as dev may expect questions on mern / app dev).

Other things: Luck plays an important role, I know a person who answered all questions but was still not selected, so a lot depends on the questions and the interviewee.
