Round 4(Technical + HR – Time: 15 mins): Difficulty: Medium
- This was a quick round where I was asked about the real-world application of my projects and a few questions on projects that I had done in a team. They mainly tested how deeply I know the projects and how they can be used in real life.
- Prepare smart answers for questions based on team spirit and situational questions. A few candidates were asked puzzles from GfG so try solving them.
- The round ended with me, asking a few questions to the interviewer.
- The final results came around 1.5-2 hrs after the last round and I got selected for the internship.
Tips:
- Stay calm and confident throughout the process.
- Keep communicating with the interviewer and tell them how you are approaching a problem. Their main aim is to check your problem-solving skills and your approach.
- Be honest and don’t beat around the bush in case you don’t know anything.
If you have confidence and knowledge, you will be selected. So don’t worry and work hard.
All the best!
