One day process. Stared off with a Aptitute Test , shortlisted candidates called for a interview ( both F2F and panels) .. time taken differed for each person..very patient panel and team from the Co.. process was very well organized and conducted..Fibonacci series, palindrome programs were common among non-IT/CS candidates.. many non-IT people were selected in the final list along with 30% IT students.. may be company feels non-IT attrition is less
