Technical Coding Behavioral

The interview had a few stages. First was a screening round with aptitude, reasoning, verbal ability, and some MCQs on HTML, Java, and SQL, followed by two coding questions. This round took about an hour total and had sectional cutoffs. The second round was a technical interview where they focused heavily on my resume and projects, asking me to be honest about my contributions. Some questions were about my project, hash maps, arrays, OOP concepts, and SQL. The third and final round was the HR round with typical questions like 'Tell me about yourself', strengths/weaknesses, why the company, and future goals. Unfortunately, I didn't get selected.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • It consisted of basic aptitude, reasoning, verbal ability, and some questions on html, java, and sql (mcq), and after that you had to solve two coding questions. Aptitude – 30 mins Coding – 30 mins. It has a sectional cutoff. Round 2: Technical Interview. Be a resume drunk because the recruiter is going to ask most of the questions from your resume. Must have projects and be honest about what you have done. Do not showoff your skills. Some of the questions I have faced- Describe your project. What is a hash map? What is an array? Define the oop concept. And some questions from sql. Round 3: HR Round. And finally the last round.
  • Tell me about yourself?

First, there was an aptitude test covering quant and verbal reasoning. Then, a group discussion with a panel of 2 and about 10-15 other candidates. After that, a personal interview with a single senior member. Finally, a telephonic interview combined with an HR interview. They called back a few weeks later to announce the results.
