Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Pre-placement offer
Experience: Each intern was assigned a individual project and mentor.
In the last week of internship there was project presentation and interview.
interview was easy .For me 50% of the questions were about project and some questions about algorithms and DBMS.
More emphasis was given to the quality of work on project.

General Tips: Working in company is complete different from working on course project. learning many new frameworks required for the project was really challenging.
Programming : Tree, Btree, Tries ..
Operating System: Memory Management
Networks: OSI model
DBMS : basics. they dint ask me any. Show case your interest in big data, servers and passion for technology
Skill Tips: Be confident, even if you don't know the exact answer don't give up tell your approaches to interviewer. some times they will also help you. Software Developer some question s you can ask are: what technologies do your company works on. how are freshers will be selected to different teams in the company.
