By end of these three questions he was quite happy.

He later made a dry run through my resume and came to know the technologies I know and asked a few questions regarding that.

Tips :

Stay calm and positive during interview.(Don’t talk with peers before interview)
If you have enough time try to read as many interview experience as possible in GFG as it will be really helpful in technical rounds on how to go about.
At last if unfortunately, If you are turned down don’t worry keep the same spirit throughout the process(I was rejected during the interview of other 6 good companies even at hr levels but finally got what I wanted).It is a test of time,patience and faith.Keep yourself positive and confident.

Thanks a lot GFG !
