Experience: Apptitude test (16 shortlisted out of 65) 10 quant + logic 10 data structure , operating systems 30 programming questions (you have option to select c/c++/java)Passing individually in all sections compulsorygood quality of questionskeep concepts well in place
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: 1. Given an array of size n this contains all integers from 1 to n+1 except one. Array is notsorted. You have to find the missing element by traversing the array only once and no extraspace allowed.(the solution I proposed was to xor all elements of array and all numbers from1 to n+1 the final value of xor is the answer . He asked me to code this).2. Given a string of characters like “34235” convert it to integer format. (I answered like simplesolution. Was told to code it).3. Given a large file. Each line has some string you have to find palindrome in the string andappend the middle element of palindrome to end of string. It was v important to considercase like when you append characters to end of string it may go to next line and create newpalindromes in next line.(I read 1 line from input file found middle letters of all palindromesappended to string and outputted it in new file say output.txt. Now if it has over flown inoutput file handle it in next iteration …).4. Given a program find output c++ program quite tricky. It was using pointers as member ofclass to test allocation and deallocation of memory.

What people are saying about Morgan Stanley
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Aptitude Part : There were 30 questions to be completed in 45 minutes. There were 10 aptitude questions which were quite time-taking. Questions were
from Data Interpretation as well. Then we had to choose a section out of C/C++/JAVA and the rest 20 questions were from your chosen section. The chosen section was also time-consuming.Coding Test : There were 3 questions to be completed in 1 hour. Program 1 was to find the required element of Pascal’s triangle. Program 2 was to count all the palindromic substrings in a string. I am sorry but I do not remember Program 3.
Duration: 105 minutes
Total Questions: 33
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It lasted for around 30-35 minutes. Questions were on array, hash map, file handling and string theory. All questions were generally algorithmic in nature.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: It lasted for around 50-55 minutes. We were basically grilled in this interview.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It lasted for around 1 hour. In this round, there were questions based on real-life scenario like designing a shopping cart for an e-commerce website etc. Then there were algorithmic questions on queue, graph and trees. A problem was given and I was asked to reason out the best data structure to solve that problem. There were simple problems on linked list.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: It was an entertaining round but was quite pressurising. We were divided into groups and asked to make something with LEGO Blocks that they had provided. There is a time-constraint in this round. We had to explain all the design aspects of our construction like name, choice of colour, significance of buildings, structure strength etc.Finally after 5 rounds of interviews, I got selected. I thank my parents, friends and my seniors.

This was a technical round with questions on DSA and OOPS.
- Q1. What is an AVL Tree?
- Ans.
An AVL tree is a self-balancing binary search tree where the heights of the two child subtrees of any node differ by at most one.
AVL trees are named after their inventors Adelson-Velsky and Landis.
They are used to maintain sorted data and ensure efficient search, insertion, and deletion operations.
Balancing in AVL trees is achieved through rotations to maintain the height balance factor.
Example: Inserting elements 1, 2...
- Q2. Why is the time complexity of Binary Search O(Log n)?
- Ans.
Binary Search halves the search space in each iteration, leading to a time complexity of O(Log n).
Binary Search divides the array into two halves and compares the target value with the middle element.
If the target value is less than the middle element, it searches in the left half; otherwise, it searches in the right half.
This process continues until the target value is found or the subarray size becomes 0.
Since each c...

- Ans.
Implement a priority queue using a heap data structure by completing the provided class functions.
Implement push(), pop(), getMaxElement(), and isEmpty() functions in the given class structure.
Use a heap data structure to maintain the priority queue.
Handle different types of queries (push, pop, getMaxElement, isEmpty) as per the given instructions.
Ensure the functions return the correct values based on the type of quer...
- Q4.
Sum of Digits Problem Statement
Given an integer 'N', continue summing its digits until the result is a single-digit number. Your task is to determine the final value of 'N' after applying this operation ...
- Ans.
Given an integer, sum its digits until a single-digit number is obtained. Determine the final single-digit integer.
Iteratively sum the digits of the integer until a single-digit number is obtained
Output the final single-digit integer for each test case
Handle multiple test cases efficiently
Ensure the final value is less than 10
- Q5. What is the difference between HashMap and HashSet?
- Ans.
HashMap is a collection of key-value pairs, while HashSet is a collection of unique elements.
HashMap allows duplicate values but keys must be unique
HashSet does not allow duplicate elements
HashMap uses key-value pairs for storing data, while HashSet only stores individual elements
Example: HashMap<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>(); HashSet<String> set = new HashSet<>();
- Q6. What is the difference between an abstract class and an interface in Object-Oriented Programming?
- Ans.
Abstract class can have both abstract and non-abstract methods, while interface can only have abstract methods.
Abstract class can have constructors, fields, and methods, while interface cannot have any implementation.
A class can only extend one abstract class, but can implement multiple interfaces.
Abstract classes are used to define common characteristics of subclasses, while interfaces are used to define a contract fo...
- Q7. Why are virtual destructors needed?
- Ans.
Virtual destructors are needed to ensure proper cleanup of resources in derived classes when using polymorphism.
Virtual destructors are necessary to ensure that the destructor of the most derived class is called when deleting a base class pointer to a derived class object.
Without virtual destructors, only the base class destructor would be called, leading to memory leaks and resource leaks in the derived class.

- Q1. What is the Round Robin Algorithm?
- Ans.
Round Robin Algorithm is a CPU scheduling algorithm where each process is assigned a fixed time slice in a cyclic manner.
Each process is given a small unit of time to execute, called a time slice or quantum.
Once a process's time slice expires, it is moved to the end of the ready queue.
The scheduler then moves to the next process in the queue and allocates it the CPU for its time slice.
This continues until all processes...
- Q2. How would you design a system where users can subscribe to specific topics, and receive messages whenever a new message is posted related to those topics?
- Ans.
Design a system for users to subscribe to topics and receive notifications for new messages.
Create a user profile where they can select topics of interest to subscribe to.
Implement a messaging system that sends notifications to users when new messages are posted related to their subscribed topics.
Allow users to manage their subscriptions and preferences easily.
Utilize a database to store user subscriptions and messages...
- Q3. How is memory allocation handled in recursion?
- Ans.
Memory allocation in recursion involves creating a new stack frame for each recursive call.
Each recursive call creates a new stack frame to store local variables and function parameters.
Memory is allocated on the stack for each stack frame, which can lead to stack overflow if too many recursive calls are made.
Once a recursive call returns, its stack frame is deallocated to free up memory.
Example: Factorial function rec...
- Q4. Why are threads needed?
- Ans.
Threads are needed to allow a program to perform multiple tasks concurrently, improving performance and responsiveness.
Threads allow for parallel execution of tasks, utilizing multiple CPU cores efficiently.
Threads can improve responsiveness in applications by handling multiple tasks simultaneously.
Threads are essential for implementing features like background processing, multitasking, and handling user input concurre...
