I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months.

Razorpay recently visited our campus for the Backend Engineer Intern role, and I was fortunate to be part of the interview process. It was a challenging yet very insightful experience. The process began with an Online Assessment (OA) consisting of 3 DSA problems to be solved in 1.5 hours, which tested both problem-solving ability and time management. I then advanced to the DSA interview round, where I was asked two problems: LeetCode 665 – Non-decreasing Array and Largest Rectangle in Histogram. I was able to solve both problems and explain my approach, edge cases, and optimisations clearly. The interviewer was extremely approachable and encouraged discussion, making it a great learning experience. Following this, I was shortlisted for the Hiring Manager round, which focused on:

• My projects and hands-on experience
• CS fundamentals like Operating Systems and Computer Networks
• My overall BTech journey and learning curve

The discussion went really well and was more conversational, focusing on depth of understanding and real-world applications.

In the first interview, I got LeetCode 665 and LeetCode 84.
