Amazing interview process,

Have strong fundamentals in your core domain (for you — programming, data structures, project work) if applying for a tech role, because tasks involve actual coding, DB/SQL, OOP, etc. GeeksforGeeks +2 Glassdoor +2

Be ready to discuss your projects/internships in detail — what you did, challenges, how you contributed, decisions you made, since interviewers often dive into that. Glassdoor +2 GeeksforGeeks +2

Prepare for behavioural questions, as they matter a lot. Practice storytelling using something like STAR (Situation-Task-Action-Result) model. Be ready to speak about strengths/weaknesses, teamwork, conflict handling, motivation, future goals. Indeed +2 Graduates First +2

Understand why you want to join Barclays, what attracts you to that role in Barclays (values, growth, learning, domain), and be able to articulate that clearly. Testbook +2 congrapps.com +2

Do your homework about the company — know what Barclays does globally, its business areas, recent developments if applicable, role-specific domain, etc. Interviewers appreciate informed candidates.

For software-developer/engineering roles: Expect questions on programming (Java/C++/Python), OOP concepts, data structures & algorithms (DSA), databases/SQL or DBMS basics, plus possibly some DB + SQL queries.

For many, the first round (Online Assessment) included OOP-MCQs, one DSA problem, one SQL question.

After that, interviews asked to walk through your projects / past internships, talk about your contributions, challenges, and decision-making.
