2. C++(2 coding questions)

* All the above were computer-adaptive, means each had sectional time to complete and once completed we cannot go back.
5. Technical MCQs 60 approx
After this, from 496 applied students, 30 we selected for Next rounds in Java and 36 for Data Science.
As I had applied for SE-Java profile, I'll follow the same experience.
We had 2 panels for Java and 2 for Data Science.
The interviewer was asking questions on every topic of Java. Make sure your basics are clear.
Rest on your projects and resume, if you had made on Java, that's a charm.
Javapoint will help you clear your concepts.
The Interview will go for a minimum of 30-45 minutes for each.
After that, the results were being declared and the students who were asked to stay back had to go for HR round. HR person was nice. He asked questions about hobbies and where do I see myself in coming years. The HR was just looking for smart conversation and how you can get well with people and stress. Just relax.
After all had been through to both the rounds, 26 people were left.
Among them, they selected 11 students. 5 for Software Engineer Profile and 6 for Data Scientist Profile.
