The interview process was structured, insightful, and designed to test both technical skills and problem-solving ability. It consisted of four rounds: Online Assessment (Aptitude + Coding): This round included quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, and 2 coding questions based on data structures and algorithms (DSA). One was on string manipulation, and the other was a greedy algorithm problem. It was conducted on a platform like Hackerrank or Codility. Technical Interview – Round 1: This round focused on core CS subjects like: Data Structures (stack, queue, tree traversal) DBMS (normalization, indexing) OOPS concepts (inheritance, abstraction with real-world examples) Operating System (process vs thread, deadlock conditions) A few programming questions were given to solve live using an online editor. Technical Interview – Round 2 (Project + System Design): In this round, I was asked to explain one of my major projects in detail (I chose "Campus Shop" – MERN stack). The interviewer asked: Why did you choose this tech stack? How did you handle authentication? What challenges did you face and how did you solve them? Then, a mini system design problem was asked: “How would you design a scalable notification system?” HR Interview: This was more conversational. The HR tested my communication skills, motivation, and personality. Questions included: Tell me about yourself. Why should we hire you? Where do you see yourself in five years? Are you open to relocation? Tell me about a time you failed and what you learned.
