Graduate Software Engineer Interview Questions

3,320 graduate software engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Technical: 1. If you get selected and have a competing offer, which one will you choose? 2. Are you planning to pursue higher studies in the future? 3. How is the work divided among team members in your CPP project? 4. Can you give a brief overview of your project? Managerial: 1. Which topic excites you more: distributed systems or large-scale systems? 2. How would you handle a memory spike issue in a service? (Expected context: use an in-memory database like Redis for caching.) 3. What differences have you noticed between booking a bus seat and a train seat? (Expected: seat selection is not available in train bookings.) 4. Why is seat selection not allowed in train bookings? (Explanation: when seat selection was allowed, passengers preferred corner compartments less, causing uneven weight distribution toward the center of the coach. This shifted the center of mass and led to inefficient braking, as the weight was not evenly distributed near the wheels.) HR: 1. Are you planning to pursue higher studies in the future?
