So there were six rounds after the company shortlisted my CV.

Round 1: Coding and Aptitude

It was an online assessment round of 1 hour 10 mins with 61 questions. There were 60 MCQs related to aptitude, data structure, oops, RDBMS, and 1 coding question. Questions were from basic, easy to medium-level questions and were doable. Time was an important factor.

The other day I received a call wherein I was asked basic things about my hobbies and background. It was a basic communication check round.
