This was a typical round by HR. There were only 5 students shortlisted for this round so it wasn't an eliminator round. The straight strategy followed by HR was to understand why I have shifted to the IT field from Civil engineering and how keen I am to continue in this field and not exit later.
Who is your role model?
What are your hobbies?
Tip 1 : Have at least 2-3 projects in your which you can talk about confidently and be able to answer all the questions asked (and also be able to show the code if asked for).
Tip 2 : Advanced concepts like Dynamic programming and Graphs can be useful for the coding tests.
Tip 1 : Make sure to include all the relevant projects with crisp and brief points.
Tip 2 : I felt the extracurricular activities mentioned on the resume had some weightage and HR probably look for that as well.

It was the last round. 15 students were selected for this round. I was tired since I already gave 2 interviews.
Tip 1 : Having proper knowledge over Data Structures and Algorithms is crucial. Have your concepts cleared and then select one coding platform( for example, leetcode, CodeZen, GeeksForGeeks) and try to practice at least 5 questions everyday topic-wise. I completed around 300+ questions on leetcode, 100+ questions on geeks for geeks and around 30-40 problems on InterviewBit.
Tip 2 : Focus on time and space complexity. Students usually ignore this fact. However, you should think about how you can optimize your code further. Hence, instead of trying to solve more problems, try to analyze it.
Tip 3 : It sometimes gets easy to demotivate but you need to keep practicing daily. Don't cut down your sleep and diet. Healthy lifestyle and personality development also plays a crucial part.
Tip 1 : Do not mention those skills, projects or achievements which you haven't achieved. The interviewer is intelligent enough to verify them.
Tip 2 : Do not keep your resume too long, and do not mention irrelevant details. One page resume for an intern is enough.
Tip 3 : Have projects related to the field which you are applying for, this shows you are already experienced in the field.
