Round 4: HR Round

• It was basically a document verification round in which they will check your 10th mark sheet, Aadhar card, and pan card. And that’s it for the HR round.

Tips: My interviewer just asked questions in java from basic to depth. So you have to be proficient with java as he was giving me code snippet and was asked about the errors and also what will happen if he alters that. And also in-depth questions were asked from inheritance. But, many of my friend’s interview was not fully based on java, but yes oops concept was asked.
