Round 1 - Coding Test 

Forgot the specifics but it had several OS, Digital Design and Computer Architecture questions followed by one coding implementation.

Round 2 - Technical 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. Rainwater problem of DSA
  • Ans. 

    Rainwater problem involves calculating the amount of rainwater that can be trapped between buildings.

    • Calculate the maximum height of water that can be stored at each index

    • Calculate the water trapped at each index by subtracting the height of the building at that index from the minimum of the maximum heights on the left and right

    • Sum up the water trapped at each index to get the total amount of rainwater trapped

Interview Questionnaire 

3 Questions

  • Q1. They asked me optimise the code I had written for the first question
  • Q2. Given a binary tree, find out the maximum sum path from root to leaf. This problem, but they said tree has only positive integers. -----/ . To store the path I had used global array. They asked me alternat...
  • Q3. Given a list of words. Given three operations find out the minimum steps to reach from source string to destination string. Basically, -----/ this is the problem with some modification. For this question I...
  • Ans. 

    The question is about finding the minimum steps to reach from a source string to a destination string using three operations.

    • BFS and DFS are graph traversal techniques that can be used to solve this problem.

    • BFS is typically used when finding the shortest path or exploring all possible paths in a graph.

    • DFS is useful when searching for a specific path or exploring deeply into a graph.

    • In this case, BFS can be used to find...

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: • 1 question was on time complexity of searching an unsorted array.
• 2 questions were on recursion, ie, number of recursive calls.
• 1 question on analysing given function on string.
• 1 question was on probability(Two hotels, say A and B. Probability of moving from A to B is 2/3, staying at A is 1/3. Probability of moving from B to A and staying at B is 1/2. If they make decisions each hour, and if they were at A at 7:00 pm, what is the probability that they will be at B at 10:00 pm).
• If a set has elements {1,2,3,4 .... n}. Then what is the sum of elements of it's power set. (Ex: S = {1,2}. Then power set is {{},{1},{2},{1,2}}. The sum is 6.
• If a set has elements {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}. Then how many subsets of 3 elements has no consecutive elements.
• 1 question was on designing a DFA for a string starting with a and ending with c and has at least b in it.
• 1 question had machine instructions. We had to find out minimum number of cycles needed to execute the given set of instructions. (a) If the instructions are executed in the given order. (b) If the instructions are executed in random order.
• 1 puzzle on bridges.

Tips: In this round they not only see the answer. They also verify how you approached(So, give correct explanation to your answers).
Duration: 90 minutes
Total Questions: 10

Round: Coding Round
Experience: Two questions were there. 3 hours duration.

1. Long question, I don't remember fully. I'll just give input/output examples. It was basically on string decoding. If jon2snow3 is there the decoded string will be jonjonsnowjonjonsnowjonjonsnow. Given a string and an integer k we have print the kth character in the decoded string
input:
jon2snow3
8
output:
n

2. Given an array and an integer k return the number of contiguous sub arrays whose sum is divisible by k.
input format:
n k

input:
4 5
10 0 4 5

output:
4

explaination: {10},{0},{10,0},{5} are the sub arrays with sum divisible by 5.


Tips: You will have lots of time, so try to optimise the solution if you can. Remember here also they review each individual's code.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They will help you a lot if you are stuck at some point in the question. You have to be smart enough to grasp the clue.
Tips: They only ask questions only on data structures and algorithms.

Skill Tips: You have to be strong in coding. Algorithm questions will be mostly on dynamic programming. Data structures questions are mostly on trees.
Skills: C Programming, Maths(esp Probability), Algorithms And Data Structures

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test had three sections:
1.aptitude:It was like any other aptitude test,all it takes is a bit of practice to crack all the questions
2.C programming:Basics of c were asked,outputs of some programs,u have to be thorough with concepts of c
3.Electronics:The company hired for both profiles: 1. PDK:software
and 2.Logic library:hardware,so this electronics section was also there,questions are mostly Network analysis,cmos logic,digital logic,vlsi etc
u should have good basics to get the electronics questions of course they are not very hard,but not too easy


Tips: practice aptitude,basics of c programming and also basics of electronics

Total Questions: 60

Round: Test
Experience: after 1st round i was shortlisted to this technical round,i was asked this question, i suggested that i will convert that number into a string and check whether string has a dot or not to check if it is float or int,the interviewer was not very impressed but was ok and asked few small questions and promoted me to next round

Tips: If u crack test with top marks,the technical rounds will be very easy,because the interviewers do not ask tough questions for people who cracked written test with high marks

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: tell me about yourself,strengths,weakness,three principles u follow in life,etc
Tips: This round depends on you,dont try to bluff something,they will know if u are bluffing,take a breath and speak up ur mind,be confident u can do it

Round: HR Interview
Experience: same questions,but this time less duration,not involving lengthy discussions, i think this round was just for double check

Round: HR Interview
Experience: After the hr round,only seven were shortlist,this interview round was very much easy and they checked my approach to the given problem,they were checking how well i am thinking adding complexities to the given problem
Tips: they did not check my programming ability,but just problem solving skills,so be good at aptitude,by practicing as much as you can

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: after technical interview,4 were shortlisted,so they went for gd round,it was general topic,which checks your general knowledge
Tips: Dont be nervous,just speak what ever you know,never mind language issues
Duration: 20 minutes

  • Ans. 

    Floor value of square root of a number is the largest integer less than or equal to the square root.

    • The floor value of square root of a number can be found using mathematical functions like floor() or integer division.

    • For example, the floor value of square root of 16 is 4, as sqrt(16) = 4.

    • For non-perfect square numbers, the floor value of square root can be calculated using approximation methods.

  • Q1. What is polymorphism?
  • Ans. 

    Polymorphism is the ability of an object to take on many forms. It allows objects of different classes to be treated as the same type.

    • Polymorphism is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming.

    • It enables code reusability and flexibility.

    • Polymorphism can be achieved through method overriding and method overloading.

    • Example: A parent class Animal can have multiple child classes like Dog, Cat, and Bird. They can ...

  • Q2. What is static polymorphism?
  • Ans. 

    Static polymorphism refers to the ability of a programming language to select the appropriate function or method at compile-time.

    • Static polymorphism is achieved through function overloading or operator overloading.

    • It allows different functions with the same name but different parameters to be called based on the arguments provided.

  • Q3. What is dynamic polymorphism?
  • Ans. 

    Dynamic polymorphism is the ability of an object to take on many forms based on the context it is used.

    • It allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass.

    • It is achieved through method overriding and virtual functions.

    • Example: A superclass 'Animal' with subclasses 'Dog' and 'Cat'. Both can be treated as 'Animal' objects.
