How it went
Stay calm during the interview and explain your thought process clearly. Even if you get stuck, communicate your approach and consider edge cases. Consistent practice and confidence make a big difference. Make sure your coding environment and internet connection are stable for online rounds.

How to prepare
Focus on strengthening data structures and algorithms, especially arrays, graphs, and trees. Practice timed coding challenges regularly and revise core concepts like complexity analysis, recursion, and OOP basics. Go through common interview patterns and solve previous OA-style problems.
Their background
I’m a tech-focused CSE student interested in backend development and practical project work.
Round by round
- 1
Online Assessment60 min
The OA had two medium-to-hard level questions, one based on graphs and the other on arrays. Both required good problem-solving and attention to edge cases. I was able to complete the solutions within 45 minutes and all test cases passed successfully.

Interview60 min
The round included three coding questions. The first was a tree problem based on validating a BST with a small twist in the constraints. The second question was graph-based and involved concepts related to topological sorting. The final question was a medium-level array problem that required careful edge-case handling. The interviewer mainly evaluated my approach, correctness, and clarity while explaining the solutions.
