The contest is being held across top IT and metropolitan cities of India till November 30. Winners- candidates and interviewers- will be chosen by Monjin jury.

“The interviewers and candidates will be intelligently matched and scheduled on Monjin’s platform via AI, Deep learning and Human intelligence based on their skills, experience, sector, geography and privacy preferences. Once they are matched, interview will happen in an automated fashion. It will be then analyzed by industry experts who are a part of Monjin’s assessed network. Deep technical, functional, behavioural groups are self-growing on Monjin who contribute to neutral assessment,” explains Abhijit Kashyape, CEO of Monjin.
