Process

I applied on-campus. There was an online test in the beginning.

It consisted of 30 tech+aptitude MCQs and 1 coding question, all within 1 hour. Time management was important here.

20 people out of 150 were shortlisted. However, there were no individual cut-offs. A few people who performed very well in the MCQs but could not write the code correctly were also shortlisted.

There were 2-4 technical interviews where our coding and algorithmic skills were tested. For every question, they wanted a code.

Then, there was 1 HR round. It was a behavioral interview where situations were given, and we had to share something from our life that matched those situations.

Questions

Code to find primes up to N.

Given many words as input, code for printing the Anagrams out of the words.

Code for Binary Search in a 2D array (matrix).

Code for Inversion of a given tree. Inversion is a mirrored, upside-down tree.

Explain Projects: Details, Design, Problems faced.

Buffer Overflow. Stack Overflow. How does it happen and how to avoid it.

Other general Data Structures questions.
