3. Technical Skype round - In this, questions were based on string manipulation algorithms and case studies. ML related questions were also asked
4. HR round - This round mainly included basic HR questions.
5. Telephonic Discussion with AI/ML head - This round was mainly to check how much in-depth knowledge the candidate is having. The questions were based on different ML techniques and some real life scenarios.
