Online Test60 min
First round online test, a mix of aptitude questions, programming problems, and SQL/DBMS questions, pretty basic nothing too wild. Aptitude stuff - time and work, logic puzzles, a little algebra Programming questions were mostly about parsing strings, arrays, and loops. If you’ve done a bit of coding practice, you’ll be fine here SQL part - joins, basic queries, subquery Not the kind of thing you’d get stuck on if you’ve used databases before. I finished well within the time, and there wasn’t anything I couldn’t solve.
