I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Persistent Systems (Pune) in Apr 2010
Interview
Was recruited through the placement rounds of CDAC. First had to give an aptitude test along with MCQs on various IT topics. Got through that process and then one on one interview with a guy from mobility and embedded department of the company. Interview was purely technical and was grilled on all the technologies mentioned in my resume. Then got a call for HR interview which was a simple walk through(asked me did i have any girlfriend?). People here are busy if they are allocated to some projects otherwise you are just wasting your time in the office. Work culture is good.
