I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed before Feb 2023.
Normal MCQ questions from different computer science subjects
I was interviewed in Oct 2020.
Round duration - 70 Minutes
Round difficulty - Hard
It started around 11 Am on MS teams.
There was only 1 interviewer.
The interviewer asked questions from almost every concept, whatever I mentioned in my resume.
Data Structure and Algorithms: Complete heap Sort(Full code on pen and paper), check a number is a power of 2 or not, and some follow-up questions on data structure and algorithms.
OS: Scheduling algorithms, Round Robin(implementation), Process States, and some follow-up questions on that also.
OOPS: Virtual Functions, Copy Constructors, Runtime Polymorphism, Destructors with their implementation, and lots of follows up questions on that also. They gave more focus on oops concepts in c++ only. If you know oops concepts in c++ then you should be able to explain them well with proper implementation.
Project: Complete description, Database schema(Complete diagram on paper), Data flow diagram, and which technology used in projects. My project was on spring boot based web application with proper database design. They asked many questions related to the flow of the project and request methods(POST, PUT, UPDATE, DELETE).
And some other basic questions on projects as well. The duration of this round was almost a complete hour. 7 students shortlisted after 1 round.
Tip 1 : Try to solve implementation questions on regular basis at least 1 per day.
Tip 2 : Make a proper Roadmap to complete all the DS concepts including some advanced DS concepts also like trie. Do an ample amount of questions from every topic. IMPORTANT: Learn implementation of DS like Hashmap, heap.
Tip 3 : Minimum 2 projects. One should be the database project.
Tip 4 : You should be good in problem-solving, bits manipulation, c/c++ language, OOPs, OS, and Networking.
Tip 1 : Well Organised
Tip 2 : At least 2 projects
Tip 3 : Go through to resume of good technical students.
Tip 4 : Personally, I do not prefer any template for a resume. You can easily make on Google docs or any word editor by yourself.
