Their process is divided into 4 rounds:

Round 3: Communication Assessment: After 3 days, I have my communication Assessment. this is non-elimination and not so difficult. many youtube videos are available for this round.

Round 4: Online Interview: On Sep 3, I got the mail to book a slot for an interview. I select the 6 Sep 9:30 am slot. It is more of an HR round than a Technical. First, the interviewer introduces himself then,

• Introduce yourself
• Project
• Is this a group project?
• Have you ever been part of any group projects? Then I told him I have taken in a lot of hackathons.
• Tell me about your hackathon project.
• What's your role in that project?
• Are you the leader in that project?
• Why your teammate made you a leader?
• Any suggestions or feedback you get after completing that hackathon project?
• So, your recent academics project is completed, or do you want to do something more on the project?-- so basically my project is based on ML.
• What is the accuracy of your model?
• How you use ML in your Project
• Any failure in life and your learning from it.
• And some discussion on leadership skills.

The duration of the interview is around 20 mins. 

After the interview, I got mail that the result will be announced within 10-15 days. After 9 days on 14 Sep, I got the result that I have cleared the interview for ASE Profile.
