Easy technical questions on basic electrical engineering. Just brush up basics on switchgear, drives and motors. Management rounds were much longer, had a Group discussion (which was quite long about an hour), & HR interview. The HR interview was surprisingly long (and funnily HRs literally write down everything you say)
