After that she asked 2 questions on DS & 2 were on O.S. This interview took 30 to 35 minutes. I cleared 2nd technical round. And finally HR round.
HR Interview:
He was very friendly. It was a mere formality. For Persistent, If you make it through the technical rounds, you are selected. A few questions like -tell me about yourself, hobbies, What you will do if I didn't select you, and many more. That's all. After that result was announced on 6th Sept 2013 & I got selected for "Persistent Systems" I hope this helps you.
