   The questions were kinda medium. I prepared OOPS in cpp but they have asked Java oops which i have to find the correct code in java. Thankfully I learned oops from Striver. in which i learnt both java oops and cpp oops in it. Aptitude was doable. DSA questions were lengthy but simple things to implement only like(combining 3 maps or 2 vectors and a map) kind of questions.
