Data Science freshers Interviews.

Hello guys, As a data science fresher, should I expect an interviewer will ask me mostly 'why' questions rather than 'what'? Thank You for your time. 🙏

Exactly, it’s all about your critical thinking skills. They want to know if you can justify your decisions when it comes to data preprocessing, model evaluation, etc.

Yes, expect lots of 'why' questions, especially in the context of model selection, feature engineering, and algorithm choices. Make sure you can back up your decisions with reasoning

I would say 'why' questions are more common because interviewers want to understand your thought process How are you preparing for both types?

Data Science interviews often focus on ‘why’ to test logical thinking. Kya tumhare paas kuch aise examples hain jo tum share kar sakte ho?

Why vs. What ka toh combo hi hota hai interviews mein! Waise, kya tumhe ab tak kaafi theory-based prep lag rahi hai ya applied projects pe focus kar rahe ho?

Freshers ke liye majorly conceptual questions aate hain, but kabhi-kabhi scenario-based bhi ho jata hai! Are you ready for those curveballs?

I think it depends on the role. Product-based companies focus more on ‘why.’ Waise, tumhari dream company kaunsi hai?

Yaar, ‘why’ toh zaroor puchhenge, par kabhi kabhi technical bhi ghusa dete hain! Have you practiced any coding-based case studies?
