Where this comes from

Sources agree

PrepInsta, FACE Prep and placementpreparation.io agree on the order: basic programming, advanced programming, a technical interview and HR. The programming rounds are timed written tests (the basic one runs about three hours); here an AI coding interview stands in for each. FACE Prep notes not every candidate goes through all of them.

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.
