My interview lasted an hour. It was all virtual and a “Microsoft teams” link was sent to the shortlisted candidates for this round. Two interviewers were interviewing one student at a time. I introduced myself and then the interviewers directly asked me to talk about my projects. The questions asked were mostly from the projects, research papers (if any) from the resume. In-depth knowledge of the projects done as needed. My research paper particularly took their attention which was based on Deep Learning and I had to explain my project in detail for about 20–25 minutes. They asked various typical questions on Deep Learning Algorithms (Why, How, etc). The interviewers tried to pressure me into changing my answers being confident was the key. Then they asked some questions from Java, OOPs, and DBMS. One of the interviewers asked me to rate my proficiency in Java on a scale from 1 to 10. Lastly, to check my problem-solving skills they gave me a mathematical formula and asked me to prove it by drawing a geometrical shape on a graph. I thought for a minute and came up with the answer and they were impressed.
