So, the interview process for Intellect Design was supposed to be three rounds, but because so many people applied, it ended up being five rounds. First up was a 60-minute round with critical thinking and aptitude questions. Mostly game-based critical thinking stuff, plus 10 aptitude questions. Then, there was an online coding challenge. It had 10 multiple-choice questions on Java and SQL, and then 5 coding problems – 3 in Java and 2 in SQL. You had to pass all test cases to move on. After that, it was a group discussion, and then another group discussion, this time with students from other colleges too. The last round was a mix of a technical and HR interview.

Had two technical rounds, then a managerial interview, and finally an HR interview where we discussed salary. The interviews were pretty friendly and depended on who you talked to. The HR person was also friendly.

So first it was like an aptitude, English verbal, and pseudo code round. It was pretty chill, like if you know basic aptitude stuff and can solve easy pseudo code, you'll definitely clear it. Then came the technical round, this was a bit more challenging. It was just me and one interviewer. They asked me basic Java questions about stuff like access modifiers, exceptions, the object class, and also OOPS concepts like inheritance, abstraction, and encapsulation. Plus, some simple SQL queries too. My advice? Focus hard on OOPS and SQL. The interviewer was super helpful though, even gave me hints for the SQL queries. The last round was a GD, and honestly, their management was a mess. It felt like the HRs weren't talking to each other 'cause I got the same email three times, and when I asked about it, zero response. Plus, their email replies were super informal and full of grammar mistakes. They said they'd get back to me soon, but it's been over a month and still nothing.
