I only had one round, which was conducted virtually on MS Teams.

The interviewer started off by asking me for a brief introduction, the projects I had done, and how I spent my college days.

I was asked what language I was comfortable with (C++).

He gave me a coding question based on anagrams of strings and asked for two optimizations for the solution I provided.

The rest of the interview was full of theory questions based on CS fundamentals.

Although I had prepared for subjects such as OS and DBMS, I was surprised as the interviewer focused more on theory, unlike a complete coding interview (giving a lengthy question and asking for optimizations).

So, be prepared for some uncommon questions and make sure you know the basics of your favorite language well!

I was asked many theoretical questions on fundamentals of C++, such as storage classes and the usage of the volatile keyword. I was also asked about DBMS, including triggers, procedures, and a few SQL queries.
