Ans. 
BFS traversal in a disconnected graph starting from vertex 0.
• Use BFS algorithm to traverse the graph starting from vertex 0.

• Explore neighbor nodes first before moving to the next level neighbors.

• Consider bidirectional edges in an undirected graph.

• Output the BFS traversal sequence for each test case in a separate line.

• Ensure the BFS path starts from vertex 0 and print connected nodes in numerical sort order.

1st was logical reasoning 2nd was aptitude test

General aptitude. Around 2-3 questions with fixed time limit.

Coding for 2-3 questions. Any coding language knowledge is a must to clear this. Failing to clear doesn't guarantee your rejection.

This is the deciding round where you are given logical questions one by one. You dont need coding language knowledge as long as you are able to portray the logic using a flowchart.

I applied through a job fair ,had one apti question followed by the selection was 2 more apti questions and a coding round 3 questions either pattern printing,matrix questions or sliding window.

After clearing the prev round I had an HR interview followed by one more coding round ,this time questions were hard.
