45 students were able to make through this round.

Round-2 (Technical Interview)

This was an interview round where each interview was conducted by two senior engineers from Dell. The duration of the interviews ranged from 1 hour to 1.5 hours. Students were distributed into 7 groups. Interview of each group was conducted by a set of interviewers. So every group had a different experience.

My interview started with my introduction and then moved directly into my projects. They asked me a few in depth questions about my project so as to see if I have done it myself or not. They also asked me other questions like what would you like to add to your project, what have you done differently in your project which wasn’t done before. They also asked me few situation based questions like you are in a team which is about to start a new project, and they have decided to work with a specific technology but you feel another technology can be a better fit here so how would you convey your message to the team, etc. I was working on a Django project at that time so they asked me why I preferred Django over Flask, etc.

They also asked me a few simple DSA questions (one array based and one sliding window) and one aptitude based question. At the end, they asked me if I had any questions. They were very linent and helpful. Overall the interview was easy if you knew your project well. The theme was similar for other students in my group.

In other groups questions related to OOPs, OS, DBMS, SQL commands, DSA, aptitude, internship experiences, puzzles, etc. were asked. So while preparing for you interview, don’t leave anything. Interviewers would ask you anything you had mentioned on your resume, so rather than putting anything on your resume, put the things you are confident with.

Both technical and HR round happened on the same day. 14 students got selected for the next round (HR round).

Round-3 (HR Round)

The HR round was easy. First I had to introduce myself. They asked me what I knew about Dell and what do I know about the role (they explained in the pre-placement talk). It was a short interview of around 25 minutes.

Everyone in this round got the offer.
