I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed before Jan 2023.
Basic Aptitude questions including Coding questions on basics of DSA.
I was interviewed in Apr 2021.
Round duration - 135 minutes
Round difficulty - Hard
The Technical Round was of 2 hours 15 minutes and was conducted on HackerRank. It comprised of 5 sections:
Programming – 30 minutes: 2 easy to medium level questions (1 of 20 marks other of 30).
Quantitative Aptitude – 25 minutes: 7 Math-related MCQs.
Computer Science – 20 minutes: 8 MCQs based on Computer Science subject topics like OOPs, OS, DBMS, DSA
Advanced Programming – 45 minutes: 1 question on advanced Data Structures (100 marks)

Finally, I was selected for the interview round which was conducted virtually over zoom.I had 4 rounds spanning over a period of almost 11 hours (10 AM- 9 PM) with breaks in between rounds, of course. As each of these rounds was an elimination round candidate had 1 to 4 rounds. In the end, we were 13 students left out of 65 students.
Tip 1 : Be thorough with data structures and algorithms. Avoid just switching between different coding platforms according to people's suggestion instead pick one and stick to it(Leetcode worked for me!).
Tip 2 : Do not miss out on core subjects (for GS ,OOPs and Operating systems especially).
Tip 3 : Keep giving mock interviews (take at least 2 -3 prior to real one) ,it helps a lot to prevent last-minute interview anxieties and makes you feel prepared and confident.
Tip 1 : Choose the right format, it should reflect professionalism.Goldman Sachs blog suggests to arrange your resume with your educational information at the top,followed by your grade-point average,professional experience, projects and any special interests and activities or achievements.
Tip 2 : If you do not have any prior experience, solidify your projects section(3-4 is a good number).Articulate your project description in a precise and crisp format.
Tip 3 : Come up with three reasons why you should be picked for the job in accordance with job's description —these will be some of the top traits you’ll want to emphasize in your resume.
Tip 4 : Go through company's career blogs ,might give you relevant insights on what it expects then align your presentation in accordance with in.(Link to GS blog on resume tips:https://www.goldmansachs.com/careers/blog/posts/resume-tips-from-goldman-sachs.html )

In the first inerview round, I was asked two problems, that were based on Data Structures.
I realized a key point in this round : that sometimes, the interviewer is wrong, and you are right. Still, you should not argue with the interviewer, rather, just accept, and move on.
This happened in the first coding problem itself, when, I actually used a "map" in c++. The interviewer asked me, to use an "unordered map" Instead of map, saying, that using an unordered map would make the insertion cost O(1) instead of O(log(n)). I refused to this by saying, that using unordered map is risky, as in case of a lot of collisions, it could go O(n).
Still, the interviewer said, that I were wrong, and said that he had done some competitive programming himself, and he never faced a TLE verdict because of using unordered map.
And I knew very well, that an Anti-Hash-Test could be created, to enforce a TLE verdict. The interviewer went on to saying that "every competitive programmer in the world would never use a map, rather, always use unordered map".
I slightly smiled to this, but agreed, and later cleared that interview, because of the smooth second problem.
Round duration - 60 minutes
Round difficulty - Medium
I were asked several questions involving DBMS. I was given data of patients of entire country, and was asked to make a dataBase for the same.
Tip 1 : I did a lot of problems on Codeforces, Codechef and other online platforms
Tip 2 : Apart from normal CP, it is better to do some interview prep separately
Tip 3 : Must note - you need to have development skills as well to clear the projects and DBMS interview.
Tip 1 : Make a 1 page resume only
Tip 2 : It is good to have some projects and decent ranks on your resume

took place in the evening at around 11.00 am .
It was mostly about me and myself .
Tip 1 : Strengthen DSA skills initially, know the basics and understand the working of different data structures
Tip 2 : Learn to implement them and enhance your coding skills. Make mistakes and learn from them instead of just cramming everything before practicing.
Tip 3 : To enhance coding skills, try your best to crack a question instead of giving up and looking at the solution..this will improve your problem-solving skills.
Tip 4 : It's a must to do the standard coding questions under every category of data structure and algorithms
Tip 5 : To study the topics and practice coding questions refer to GeeksforGeeks and regularly take part in coding contests.
Tip 6 : Be thorough with OOPs, DBMS, and the technologies on which you have worked for the interview.
Tip 7 : Have at least 2 projects in your resume and make sure you can answer the questions related to them.
Tip 8 : For HR interviews prepare questions, prepare questions such as introduce yourself, your strengths, your weakness.
Tip 1 : Make sure your resume fits everything into a single page.
Tip 2 : Have at least 2 projects on your resume.

Tip 4 : Mention the work you have done during your internships.
I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed before Jul 2021.
Aptitude Test is really amazing. Level of Test is easy to medium and somewhere challenging. You can crack Aptitude if you have good knowledge of Arithmetic and logical reasoning.
