It was a dream slot campusing. So the figures were: 150->50->33.I am from IT. Only 6 of us qualified from IT in the final selection. Selection procedure consists of two stage:- 1. Aptitude Test 2. Interview Aptitude (online for 1.5 hrs) test is of 3 sections:- 1. Verbal 2. Quants & DI 3. Critical Reasoning
