Technical Group Behavioral Presentation

There were 5 rounds total. The first was an aptitude test with no coding. The second was a group discussion where we worked on a case study problem. The third was a face-to-face interview where I was unfortunately rejected. In that round, they asked me to introduce myself, asked a question about what relevant questions I'd ask a manager to satisfy a customer (after explaining a situation), asked me to explain my academic projects, asked what I would do if offered a software role (I said yes and was advised to confidently say I could fit any role), and finally, I explained my ML projects.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Tell me about yourself and your experience with Machine Learning projects.
  • Have you worked on any Machine Learning projects? If so, please elaborate.
