Last Updated : 16 Sep, 2024

Eligibility Criteria:

  • Minimum Percentage Required: 70% and above
  • Allowed Streams: All

Round 1: Online Assessment (OA)

The first round was an Online Assessment consisting of:

  • Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs): These covered Java and C++ output-based questions along with core Computer Science fundamentals.
  • SQL Query: A simple query, which involves basic database operations.
  • Coding Question: The coding problem was of medium difficulty.

After a few days, the shortlisted candidates were announced. The interviews were conducted offline on the college campus. Resumes had to be submitted beforehand, and I was the first to be interviewed.

First Interview Round: Technical Interview

The interviewer was friendly and ensured I understood the questions by allowing me to ask for clarifications. Here’s what I was asked:

  • Coding Questions: I was given various scenarios and had to write code based on those situations.
  • SQL Query: The task involved joining three tables and a subquery.
  • GitHub Contributions: Since I mentioned GitHub in my resume, I was asked about my contributions to open-source projects.
  • Project Development: The interviewer gave me a scenario and asked me to describe the end-to-end project development process, including the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and various software engineering concepts.
  • OOP Questions: After completing the coding and SQL questions, the interviewer asked me a series of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) questions.

Second Interview Round: Technical + HR

The second round mainly focused on my project and some HR-related questions:

  • Project Discussion: The interviewer asked me to explain the functions and their implementation in the code I wrote for my project. They thoroughly explored every aspect.
  • HR Questions: These included questions like how I would handle team conflicts. I was given a hypothetical situation and asked to explain how I would resolve it.
