Where this comes from

Sources agree

Every source agrees on technical, managerial and HR. PrepInsta and placementpreparation.io describe one 25–40 minute interview with all three panels together; InterviewBit and GeeksforGeeks describe separate rounds and say the managerial round may not take place. The NQT's Advanced section and its coding questions are their own patterns here.

How a run works

Rounds open in order: each one once the round before it is sat. No cut-off is applied — no company publishes one — so the scores sit side by side at the end.
The online test is the company's placement test pattern, proctored like any sitting. A sitting started before the round opened is not counted.
Each interview round is a mock interview with the AI interviewer, briefed on the company and the round. It counts toward your weekly interview allowance like any other, and its answers feed your skill profile and readiness.
Technical and coding rounds are written, with the editor. The HR and managerial rounds are held the way you chose when you started: written, or spoken for 10 minutes.
