3. 💬 OA and Interview Rounds

Round 1: Online Assessment

• Type: MCQ
• Description: Aptitude, programming skills, DSA, OOP, DBMS concepts
• Tips:

1. Practice aptitude questions.
2. Solve dsa problems daily.
3. Read instructions carefully in the beginning of the test, divide time accordingly and keep checking the timer.

Round 2: Technical Interview

• Type: Technical
• Description: OOP concepts are asked, explain them with examples, programming skills, solve dsa problems, solve puzzles, have a proper discussion on the projects mentioned in your resume
• Tips:

1. Must have strong understanding in subjects like OOP, DSA, DBMS, CNS, OS, etc. Keep revising and practing them so that you don't get confused in the interview. You should be able to give proper examples and your explaination should be satisfactory.
2. Don't waste your interviewers' time: Whenever you feel stuck, try for some more time and even after doing so, if you dont come up with a solution, please accept that you need to revise on that topic. Assure that you will go through it after the interview. This is important because this shows your humble attitude (slightly), acceptance and interest in improvement.
3. Avoid silence for a long period of time: Try to keep the session interactive especially when the interviewers' ask you to solve questions (dsa, puzzles) or ask you to write pseudocode. Explain your approach, while solving it / writing it, instead of writing it at once and then explaining it in one go. It will ensure that they are engaged and even if you get stuck in between then atleast it will leave mark that you tried.
4. Different approaches: When you are given a question to solve, you may either come up with single or multiple solutions.

• In case of single solution, explain your approach, draw it on paper for better visualization, after which the interviewers might ask you to optiomize it. They might even give you a hint, think more on how to do so because when they give us a hint, then it is expected that we solve it in more optimal way. Think for a while, explain while writing and keep it interactive and so on as explained above.

• In case of multiple solutions however, start with brute force, then keep on optimising it and before moving on towards next approach ask them if they want you to explain the better one.

1. Listen to the interviewers patiently and avoid making a mistake in hearing or understanding their question.
2. Explain projects mentioned in your resume and your contribution in it.

Round 3 : HR Interview Round

• Prepare your introduction, have discussion on extra curricular activites, participation in college events, clubs, hackathons, achievements. Be on time, know your challenges and how you plan to overcome them. Also, this round a mizture of tech and not tech questions so re-read your resume twice or thrice. Have some questions to ask them.

Verdict : Selected

The selection processes are really meant for people with high patience, the ones who keep trying, find areas on improvement and keep on working on that, so be one of those. You will find that people with opporunities have faced challenges before and they have kept on making theirselves even more capable of deserving the opportunity.
