The selection process consists of three structured stages: Stage 1: A technical round assessing the candidate’s academic background, subject knowledge, and professional experience. Stage 2: A presentation round focused on a specific topic, evaluating clarity of thought, communication skills, and subject understanding. Stage 3: A research round centered on the candidate’s research area, emphasizing research aptitude, methodology, and contributions.

The interview process was straightforward and smooth. I believe it was as easy and clear as usual, with direct questions and a comfortable flow. The interaction felt natural, and the overall experience was simple and well-structured.
