I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in Jan 2023. There were 4 interview rounds.
It was just a typical logical reasoning and aptitude MCQ test
There were 2 coding questions and you can select any language for solving it. The test was online
(13 Questions)
- Q1. He simply asked me which coding language I prefer and why ? (Mine was C++)
- Q2. Difference between C and C++?
- Ans.
C is a procedural programming language while C++ is an object-oriented programming language.
C is a procedural programming language, while C++ supports both procedural and object-oriented programming.
C does not have classes and objects, while C++ does.
C does not support function overloading, while C++ does.
C does not have exception handling, while C++ does.
C does not have namespaces, while C++ does.
- Q3. What is Object oriented programming?
- Ans.
Object oriented programming is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects, which can contain data and code.
Objects are instances of classes, which define the structure and behavior of the objects.
Encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism are key principles of object oriented programming.
Example: Inheritance allows a class to inherit properties and methods from another class.
Example: Encapsulation hides t...
- Q4. What are the 4 pillars of OOPs?
- Ans.
Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Abstraction
Encapsulation: Bundling data and methods that operate on the data into a single unit
Inheritance: Ability of a class to inherit properties and behavior from another class
Polymorphism: Ability to present the same interface for different data types
Abstraction: Hiding the complex implementation details and showing only the necessary features
- Q5. Write down code implementing all 4 pillars of OOPs.
- Ans.
Code implementing all 4 pillars of OOPs
Encapsulation: Encapsulate data within classes and provide public methods to access and modify the data.
Inheritance: Create a hierarchy of classes where child classes inherit attributes and methods from parent classes.
Polymorphism: Allow objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass through method overriding and overloading.
Abstraction: Hide complex ...
- Q6. Difference between Stacks and Queues?
- Ans.
Stacks are Last In First Out (LIFO) data structures, while Queues are First In First Out (FIFO) data structures.
Stacks: Elements are added and removed from the same end, like a stack of plates. Example: Undo feature in text editors.
Queues: Elements are added at the rear and removed from the front, like a line of people waiting. Example: Print queue in a printer.
- Q7. Write a code to find the 2nd largest element in an array.
- Ans.
Code to find the 2nd largest element in an array
Sort the array in descending order and return the element at index 1
Iterate through the array and keep track of the two largest elements
Handle edge cases like arrays with less than 2 elements
- Q8. What is merge sort and its Algorithm ?
- Ans.
Merge sort is a divide and conquer algorithm that divides the input array into two halves, sorts them recursively, and then merges them.
Divide the input array into two halves
Recursively sort each half
Merge the sorted halves back together

- Ans.
Delete removes specific rows from a table, Truncate removes all rows from a table, and Drop removes the table itself.
Delete is a DML command that removes specific rows from a table based on a condition.
Truncate is a DDL command that removes all rows from a table but keeps the table structure.
Drop is a DDL command that removes the entire table along with its structure.
- Q12. Different kind of Joins in DBMS ?
- Ans.
Different types of joins in DBMS include inner join, outer join, left join, right join, and full join.
Inner join: Returns rows when there is a match in both tables.
Outer join: Returns all rows from one table and only matching rows from the other table.
Left join: Returns all rows from the left table and the matched rows from the right table.
Right join: Returns all rows from the right table and the matched rows from the ...

Interview Preparation Tips
If you don't know the answer of a coding question (NOTE: not a theoretical question) try for sometime to come up with the solution and while thinking keep saying your approach out loud to the interview and if after taking 1 to 2 mins you still don't know just say, Sorry I can't recall it right now but I will definitely get to it after the interview. Don't use this approach for theoretical questions, Either you have an answer to that or not.
Never Beat around the bush, be specific and to the point.
And at last, I just wanna say that passing an interview needs 40% skill, 20% communication, 20% confidence, 10% mood of the interview and 10% is luck.
Why I am saying mood of the interview and luck????
In my case, I was not selected for the final HR round. First of all, in all 137 students selected for the technical interview, my name was at 111 and randomly they called the first student for the interview and it was me. So that's luck.
OK after I entered my interviewer cabin, I saw a look of aggression on my interviewers face. We didn't smiled once during my 50min interview. He didn't even asked me to introduce myself.
He asked me 15 questions in total and I correctly answers 10 of them to the point and for the rest 5 I explained my approach to them.
Still I got rejected, and one of my friend who was answered like 2 questions out of 10 got selected because his interviewer was different. (NOTE: I am really happy for my friend, He is like my best buddy and my only well wisher that I know about).
So yeah just prepare well and be confident and even if things go south and you gave your best, just think that today was not your day and just move on.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: The test was for two and half hours where 1 hour was for general aptitude, 1 hr was for coding aptitude(either on java or C or C++as you choose) and 1/2 an hour for two coding questions.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: In technical round they asked puzzles, aptitude questions and basic C coding. I was asked to write the code for two questions(one was on sort and search) and was asked the logic of two questions.They asked basics of linked lists, stacks, queues. Infact they were not very interested in the syntax and were pressing on the logic
General Tips: Being a non software branch students is not at all a problem. The company took 4 interns where 3 were from core branches. The fact that we had to work in JAVA and most of us didn't know JAVA, the company only looks for aptitude and ability to learn. So if you don't know anything, tell frankly that you don't know that part, rather than guessing. Be thorough with what you know and confidentially answer all the questions.
Also do not be tensed and take things lightly, if the interviewer is joking. Be candid.
Skill Tips: Learn basics of coding from books . Aptitude can be done from sites likes geeks for geeks, etc. The level of aptitude is not very high and infact the coding aptitude is also theoretical and does not involve in depth knowledge.

TECHNICAL INTERVIEW: (pls list the questions asked in all the rounds)
26 shortlisted after apti (14 directly for interviews & 12 had one more technical on paper test...mentioned above)
der wer min 2 technical rounds for each of them...max were 5
- You are given course dependencies
A->B,C
B->D
C->A
D->nothing
The above dependencies mean...if you want to take course A...you should take courses B and C first....To take B,Course D must be taken first....D is an independent course and can be taken without any prior requirements.
Now you are told these dependencies.Come up with an appropriate data structure to represent these dependencies.Then write a code that finds out all the courses that the student can take up...in this case the student can first take course D because its independent.Now that course D has been taken he can next take up B as it depends on B alone...But the courses A and C can never be taken because they depend on each other...So here all the courses that can be taken are B and D.
After i wrote the code....he asked for all possible test cases
-Given an array of length N....It can be filled with nos. only from 1 to N....find which nos are repeated in the array
-Given pointers to two nodes in a binary tree....find their least common ancestor...each node has pointer to only the parent node...not the left and right child..
-In a binary tree(Not necessarily a BST)...suppose the weight of any node is defined as the product of the key value of the node and the level of the node(Root at level 1)...find the node with maximum weight in the binary tree
-A sorted array of size n is right circularly rotated k times and this rotated array is given to you as input...Find out the value of k in log n time .
-There are some processes running at time T....and there are processes running at time T+30.
You have to find out
1)Which processes died at time T+30,which were alive at time T
2)Which are the new processes at time T+30,which were not there at time T
3)Which are the processes that were there at time T and are still running at time T+30
What data structure will you use to represent the process lists and write code to find out the answers to the 3 questions above
-Given a binary search tree...and a target sum...starting at the root...which all paths add up to the target sum?...if there are multiple paths....return the path with least no. of nodes.

(2 Questions)
Round duration - 90 minutes
Round difficulty - Medium
- Q1. Maximum Sum With Specific Difference
You are given an array of integers and a number ‘K’. You can pair two elements in the array 'ARR' if the absolute difference between them is strictly less than ...
- Ans. Sorting
Approach: We sort the given array in increasing order. For every element, we try to pair it with its previous element first. Since the array is sorted, the value of ‘ARR[i]’ would be more than ‘ARR[i - 1]’. We need to pair with a difference less than ‘K’, which means if 'ARR[i - 2]' can be paired, then ‘ARR[i - 1]’ can also be paired in a sorted array. Here, we prefer the previous element so that if ‘ARR[i]’ - ‘...
- Q2. Ninja And The Tree
Ninja is learning tree data structure these days. While learning, she came across learn about the Binary Search tree. She found BST quite interesting. She decided to make her own Binary ...
- Ans. Brute Force Approach
Algorithm:
- We will initialize an array of integers to store the inorder traversal of the given BST.
- As two nodes are swapped currently, so the inorder traversal will not be sorted.
- Sort the array.
- Now, this is a sorted array so this will represent the inorder traversal of the BST.
- Insert the array elements back to the tree inorder manner.
O(N), where ‘N’ is the num...
