The first round majorly focused on the project and some DBMS related questions and in a DSA question related to DP. The interviewer asked me to write the code for the brute force and then for the optimal. He have also asked me the time complexities for the both. The second round was also majorly on my project and a simple DSA question related to string manipulation.
