  Round 2:
  This was a Technical Round.
  In this round, they asked me about my interests. I told programming. Then they asked some simple questions on bit manipulation and I answered all of them correctly.
  The interviewer seemed happy and asked about my projects for half an hour.
  Then he asked me if I was interested in Digital Electronics and Microcontroller. I said that at the moment I was not comfortable with Microcontroller.
  He then asked me to wait.
  In this round everybody was asked about Microcontroller questions like the architecture of 8086, questions on protocols used by Arduino and microprocessor since their main work is based on embedded systems used in automobiles.

  
  
  

  Round 3:
  This was HR Round. HR was very friendly. He asked about my hobbies first and my area of interest.
  He asked standard questions like:

  • Tell me about yourself
  • Why KPIT?
  • What are your strengths?

  I told him about my strengths and about my projects. I told him that I was article contributor in GeeksforGeeks and had won a Bronze Medal in a hackathon conducted by HackerRank. He was really happy and asked me to wait.
  After this round results were announced. 10 students got the offer. Everybody was offered a Position of Trainee Software Engineer.
