The type of the interview we are dealing here is the panel (face-to-face) interview. Interview is a long process. Does every candidate who have appeared for the job gets selected? When every one has the proper qualifications and skills, why aren't everyone gets selected?
Interview is considered to be the shape of the inverted funnel. Whatever be the input, the output is certainly several times lesser than that of what is inputted.
Thus there are several stages in the interview which are purely the steps of filtration. These stages are purely made to reject the less qualifies/skilled candidates.
Interview is simply the process of filtration to find out a perfect one.
Consider on 100 candidates applying for the job, only around 15-20 get selected for the final round. Among them, the strength of the selected candidates remain to be a single number. This is of course the reality.

This consists of various types of questions that would be depending on the stream (CSE/IT/EEE/ECE) that you are in.

4. Personal interview
This is the final part of the interview. You will be allowed to make some conversation with the HR. This is the very important phase of the interview. Some companies will not have the technical round separately and all they do is to combine it with this round.
This round is very simple and all you need is to have some ideas on managing the different situations accordingly. You must be capable enough to answer all sort of questions that the recruiter throws on you.
