Technical Coding Behavioral

Started with a shortlisting test, then some questions on Prob Stats and 2-3 coding questions (array and logic based). Next, there was a technical round where they focused mainly on my NLP project, and some OOPS questions came up too. This was followed by an HR round with the Data Science head. The HR round felt good, and they asked about my role model in Deep Learning and a research paper I had read.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • Can you tell me more about your Data Science project concerning Natural Language Processing?
  • Were you asked about Object-Oriented Programming Principles?
  • Who do you consider your role model in the field of Deep Learning?
