Round 1: Resume-Based Shortlisting
Candidates were shortlisted based on their resumes. Advice was given to make resumes attractive by including more projects, technical knowledge (subject + language), and certifications.

Round 2: Technical + HR Interview
This was a single interview conducted by a panel of two people, lasting 15 minutes. The candidate's specialization was Data Science, so most questions were from ML and DL.

• "Tell me about yourself."
• Asked to explain projects and questions regarding them.
• "Difference between ML and DL."
• "Explain CNN, MobileNet, and ResNet."
• "Time Complexity to Find the largest leaf node."

• Asked about current Thesis work.
• "Will you be able to relocate to Delhi?"

The results were announced on the same day, and the candidate was selected.

Tips: Be thorough with your projects and the basics of all your subjects. Make the interview interactive rather than just repeating memorized answers.
