I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Cisco in Oct 2016
Interview
Applied through university campus recruitment program and got selected for an interview. Interviewer wasn't very friendly but the interview went alright. Not very conversational and very straight forward. Interviewer asked a couple behavioral questions, a few physics questions and rest were electrical engineering questions. Looked at your thinking process mostly.
It was nice, informative. One should prepare using all resources. They will judge your understanding based on everything that you ever demonstrated in the process, so be aware of everything you said or mentioned.
It was basically deep dive into resume and some questions on Dsa. The overall experience was good. There were 4 rounds in total. Be familiar with basics of the language that you primarily use.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cisco (Bengaluru)
Interview
3 rounds. 2 tech and 1 HR. The tech rounds lasted 1 hr 15 means each. HR was just formality for me though some had proper HR rounds. They wanna see how you work out solns with them over the actual one.

Question 1
They were curious on knowing why did you do your projects over what you did.
