Interview
Dsa and Core conceptThe interview focused on Data Structures and Algorithms, Java core concepts including OOP, Collections, Exception Handling, SQL basics, project discussion, problem-solving approach, and communication skills with coding questions.
The interview process was simple and beginner friendly. Most of the questions were basic Java concepts, discussion about projects done in college, and a simple coding question. The interviewers were friendly and focused more on understanding problem-solving approach and communication skills rather than asking very difficult technical questions.
