Accolite Interview Experience for Software Engineer (On-Campus) 2024

Round 1 (Online Assessment):

Duration: 90 Minutes: –

The test was held on Accolite’s own platform Eduthrill. There were 30 MCQs based on OOPS, DBMS, networks, JAVA, DSA, code snippets, etc. Then there is one coding question based on the graph.

Round 2 (Technical Interview – l):

Duration: 1 hour:-

The interviewer introduced himself and asked me to introduce myself. Then he asked for some basic concepts from JavaScript and React like synchronization, hoisting, event loop, hooks, Redux, callbacks, etc. Then he moved to the coding part, he asked two questions. First, he asked me to explain all the approaches and then to write the optimized code for it.

1. Check the palindrome in the linked list. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/function-to-check-if-a-singly-linked-list-is-palindrome/
2. Minimum number of platforms. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/problems/minimum-platforms-1587115620/1

I was easily able to explain the approaches and write the code for both questions.

Round 3 (Technical Round – ll):

Duration: 1 hour: –

This Round was totally based on DSA. First she introduces herself then asked me to do the same. Then she asked me whether I am comfortable with tree and Graph then I said yes, then she asked me two question.

1. Mirror Tree – https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/problems/mirror-tree/1
   She asked me to First explained the iterative then recursive approach then she told me to write the code from scratch.
2. Two sum. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/check-if-pair-with-given-sum-exists-in-array/
   At last she gave a positive feedback.

Round 4 (Technical Round – lll ) :

Duration: 1 hour 15 min: –

Then she started asking my current semesters subject I told all of them then we had a little discussion on it. Then she started asking questions from c language, OOPS. She asked all the concepts form OOPS like class, objects, pillars, access specifiers, advantage of OOPS over structured programing, disadvantages of OOPS, abstraction, then she asked me to implement the abstract class, I coded it with the virtual function. She is totally satisfied with this.

The she moved to the DSA part then she asked me a question called find duplicates.

I had to explain all the approaches with the time and space complexities and then i coded the optimized approach. Then she moved to the Project. I added 3 projects in my resume, she asked me to explain the most recent one, then she asked “tell me one of the most challenging feature you have created in this project, what are the challenges you faced while creating it and how you resolved it”. I gave the answer of this question in detail and she is totally satisfied with the answer.

Round 5 (HR Round):

7. Any Questions for me?

Then I asked some questions about Accolite.

Verdict: Selected

Note: All the codes that were asked to be written had to be compiled. Make sure you should write clean code.

Tips:

• Be strong with your basics and be confident.
• Be good at subjects like DSA, OOPS, DBMS, OS, Networking, and language-specific concepts.
• Have at least two good projects.
• Try to give both naive and efficient solutions to any DSA question.
