The process consisted of an OA conducted in college labs followed by two technical interview rounds conducted virtually via Google Meet. The focus was heavily on DSA & CS Fundamentals.
OA
- Online (HackerRank)
- 15 MCQs - C/C++ Pointers, OOPS, Aptitude
- Given an array and integer k, find the max sum of a subarray of size k where all elements are distinct.
- Similar to LeetCode 2462.
Technical Interview 1
- Google meet (CnP Office)
- C pointers

Technical Interview 2
- Google meet (CnP office)
- Deep dive into my project (scene text recognition in bad weather)
- Discussed my contribution in project
- Questioned on technical challenges and optimizations

- LLD question
The interviewers we helpful and provided hints when I got stuck. They want to know your thought process.
Tips:
- You shall know core fundamentals in details. How things work on compiler-level rather than just coding.
- Master OS/CO concepts and have a clear, in-depth explanation prepared for your resume projects.
Verdict: Rejected
