It had three sections. Quantitative Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Verbal Reasoning. Questions ranged from moderate to difficult level.

Description of Technical interview

The interview started with my introduction, then they asked me a few questions about my project followed by a guesstimate. Both the rounds were technical and the interviewer mainly focused on my project. He also asked a guesstimate related to my project. Guesstimates: 1) Number of street lights in your city 2) Number of videos watched by the Indian population in YouTube in a year.
