Technical Coding Behavioral

So first there was an OA test with aptitude questions, and if you scored over 50%, you got to take a technical test. The technical test had 3 DSA problems, 2 easy and 1 medium string question. If you passed that, you had an interview the next day. It was about 30 minutes. I had to introduce myself, answer some DSA questions on strings and arrays (easy/medium), and some situational questions. After that, I qualified for the HR round, which was 15 minutes. They asked about my college, CGPA, extracurriculars, and what I'm seeking in a company, plus other basic HR stuff. Then, background check and offer.
