1st Round : A competition hosted on Codechef with two problems. You got to completely pass all test cases to qualify.
One question is generally implementation specific and the other is based on dynamic programming. The implementation question is fairly easy but could have corner cases which could make them difficult to pass. I could solve only 1 question within 90 minutes.

Interviews :
The questions they ask could range from Technical topics like OS, CN, DS, Algorithms, Database, Web Technology etc
1st Interview : 3 algorithmic questions.
Given coordinate of buildings, and the total stretch of horizontal line. Calculate the total unoccupied space on the line. A building occupies 200 units of space on left and right.
Input : 100, 300, 400, 700, 1200
Output : 100

Given 2 input strings, S1 and S2, find the minimum window within which elements of S2 occur in S1.
Input : XUABLPQUDBA
ABD
Output : 3

Given m number of mouses and cheese with their positions given in two arrays, find the minimum number of time required to eat the last cheese. A mouse can eat only a single cheese.
Input : m=7
5 92 7 64 57 82 45
68 900 51 400 25 52
Output :808

Round 2:
Questions about projects. What is a session?
How is session implemented?
Where are cookies stored?
Where is session maintained etc?
Find whether two strings are anagrams of each other? Optimise.. Without any data structure.

Questions on concurrency in Java.
Synchronised methods block how they work.
Nested synchronised blocks
Problems.

Tips : Look at problems from geeksforgeeks.org
Try to solve as much as them as possible on your own. Bring non graph solutions to O(n). And optimize graph as well. They just want to know how good you are at applying logic that you have learnt. Keep your computer fundamentals strong and be confident with your concepts. The interview is an experience itself, with the best minds in the industry interviewing you. If you think you are wrong or aren’t sure. Let them know you aren’t sure and tell them that what you feel the implementation should be etc
All the best.
