AsianPaints Interview Experience (On-Campus) 2023

Written Round: 

It consists of SQL, Aptitude, and Coding rounds.

Aptitude was very easy.

1. Find the shortest path to the target integer in a matrix where 1 represents allowed paths, 0 represents blocked paths, and let’s say 2 is our target. The starting point is (0, 0). [Medium]
2.  Checking if a given sentence is a valid English sentence or not, such as if the period is at the end and if the brackets “{}” for each word and “[]” for each sentence are present [Easy].

There were also a few more easy questions. In total, there were 8 codings and SQL questions. For the SQL questions, the concepts of Join and Aggregate functions were mainly used, and 2 to 3 tables were given.

Technical Interview: (Telephonic Round)

• The first interviewer asked if I would be able to relocate to Mumbai or not, and then asked me to introduce myself.
• He asked about my projects.
• Then, he asked about many theoretical concepts of Java and operating systems, such as:

OOPS

OOPs concepts with real-life examples (by real-life examples, he meant in the IT industry)

• Inheritance
• Threading
• Semaphore
• Parallel Threading

API –> Rest API

The use of Stack in real life

Note: No coding questions were asked, and there were also many general talks.

This process took nearly 1-1.5 months from the written round to the technical round. The difficulty level was medium to easy.
