Questions

2nd round:

Started with all the projects mentioned in the resume, a basic description of them, and then cross-questions on the same.

I had mentioned Java and Python in my resume, so I was asked to differentiate between them.

Coding question: Palindrome or not.

Two standard puzzles:

  • 3 bulbs and 3 switches
  • 8 balls problem

CS subjects: OOPs, DBMS, CN, SQL query to find the second highest salary.

Asked about my projects and the technologies I used, the problems I faced, and my role in each.
