Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I have successfully cleared the L1 and L2 rounds, and my background verification has also been completed. I was informed that an offer would be sent the next day. However, the HR then stated that there would be a discussion solely about the CTC, with no technical questions involved. I agreed to this; yet, the interviewer proceeded to ask high-level technical questions that I had not worked on, leading to the final decision of not selecting me. It felt like a fake interview process, accompanied by delayed communication and a lack of response, resulting in a very negative experience with Tech Mahindra.
