Candidate-reported interview process

First there was a pen and paper aptitude test, it had 2 sections with a mix of reasoning and quant questions, about 30 questions total and 20 was the cutoff to qualify. I passed that round and then went for an interview. The interviewer asked me some DBMS questions, some SQL join queries, 2-3 DSA questions, and we discussed my projects.

For campus placement, first there was a pen and paper mcq round that included comprehension and graphs. Then, a pen and paper coding round followed. After that, there were three interview rounds: two technical and one HR. They asked basic dsa questions along with puzzles, some Java specific questions and SQL too.

The interview process involved one technical round where two medium to hard DSA questions related to string permutations and recursion were presented. This was followed by an HR round that included general aptitude questions. The main focus of the interview process was on problem-solving and logical thinking.
