• Interviewer: My turn came at 2:30 pm (supposed to be at 12:30 pm, but never mind).Don’t panic about delay times, utilize this time to revise all the things that can impressthem in one shot. Firstly, Akshay asked me whether I had my lunch or not, sorry for the delay and all. This was all to calm me down and give my best to him.
• Tell me about yourself.
  The answer to this question should be crisp and give small light to yourachievements. Because you should drive your interview, not the interviewer. So, makehim ask what you know the best, otherwise, the interviewer will ask according tohis/her understanding and you will be blanked at some point
• Who is our CEO and what was our Net worth for the recent year? These types of questions are just to check how much are you concerned about thecompany and whether are you serious about the company or not.
• Basic Cyber Security question? As this role is more about cyber security so they want you to be aware of it too.
• Current affair question about AKASA airline and DIGITAL bill talk in govt.? As I said above, you should be very good at current affairs of this industry
• What is data breaching?
• Three pillars of cyber security?
• MD5 and RSA?
• Crypto and its working?
• Is blockchain fundamental?
• IoT Fundamentals?
• Why Deloitte?
• Relate your skills to the job role
• Why shift from hardware to software job? This should be career specific not trend specific
• SDLC?
• Exposure to cyber security?

Don’t worry, about the number of questions I was the one who was driving the interview by myself. If you don’t know the answer, try to give a smart approach to it. So, the interviewershould be satisfied.
It was my 6 or 7 interview so I was very well prepared for this. So, NO FEAR of rejections should be there anytime and a big smile While giving an interviewis big Brahmāstra for the placement drive. After 40 minutes of the grill, they called us for a PRANK GD round after 5 hours, and therethey selected 4 candidates out of 14. And I was one of them.
