Process

The company came to our college for internships.

Online Test:

  • MCQ questions: Technical and Logical
  • 2 Coding Questions

Interview Process:

  • 2 Technical rounds and 1 HR round.

1st Round:

  • Detailed discussion on projects + 1 puzzle question was asked.

2nd Round:

  • There is an array containing repeating elements, e.g., [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 6, 7, 1]. We have to find the repeating element that occurs earliest in the array. In this example, the answer would be 1. What is the most efficient algorithmic approach?
  • An array has a pattern where values initially increase, reach a maximum, and then start decreasing. Tell us an efficient algorithm to search for an element in this array.

HR Round:

  • Write a recursive function for the Fibonacci sequence such that the function is called only once, and the Fibonacci numbers are printed within the recursive function itself. (The interviewer hinted beforehand that it is a tricky question and most students get it wrong.)
  • Do you know what happens when you request a website? What is the web server architecture? (Follow-up question: Why do we need to use a web server?)

Questions

Puzzle Question:

If we have 4 tablets which are physically the same (same color, shape, size, dimension, weight), 2 of which are for fever and 2 for cough, and a person has to take 1 tablet for fever and 1 for cough, how will they decide?
