Technical Behavioral
The interview process consisted of 3 rounds in total. There were 2 technical interview rounds and 1 behavioural round. The technical interviews were not focused on LeetCode-style problems. Instead, they were more conceptual, asking about familiarity with technologies like Redis and Java, and how frameworks operate, without delving into algorithms or time complexity.

Technical Coding Behavioral Presentation
So, DBS Bank's hiring for Software Engineer Interns usually starts with an online test. You know, the kind with aptitude, logic puzzles, and some coding challenges, often on HackerRank. If you do well, you'll get to do like one or two technical interviews. They'll grill you on data structures, algorithms, Java stuff, OOPs, databases, and just general problem-solving. After that, there might be a manager chat where they want to know about your projects, how you'd deal with real problems, working with others, and basic system design. The very last part is the HR interview, where they check your communication, how well you can adapt, your good and bad points, and if you're a good fit for DBS. It's usually about 3 to 4 rounds in total, checking both your tech skills and how you act.
