After getting rejected for Power Programmer Role the Infosys Team asked me if I wanted to sit for the interview of SES profile. I said yes. Here is what happened in the Interview.

Interview: Technical + HR 

Interviewer: Tell me something about yourself.

Me: I answered.

Interviewer: Can you explain the coding questions you faced in HackWithInfy Round 1 and Round 2.Also Explain the approach you used to solve the questions.

Me: Told about all the questions I remembered and the approach I used.

Interviewer: You mentioned a question on Prime numbers. What is a prime number?

Me: Any number divisible only by 1 and itself.

Interviewer: Is 187 a prime number?

Me: Yes Sir.

Interviewer: Are you sure?

Me: Sorry Sir. I actually did not see it has 11 as a factor. So it is not a prime number.

Interviewer: You mentioned an online banking website project in your resume. What are the different security mechanisms you utilized to secure the site?

Me: I simply used Password Protection for the site to prevent illegal access as I did the project in the 3rd semester.

Interviewer: What mechanisms do you think you can add now to improve the security of the banking system?

Me: Sir, Using a firewall can help to prevent unauthorized access from computers on private networks. It was the only mechanism that came to my mind at that point. I did not know whether it was correct or not.

Interviewer: Can you suggest some other way?

Me: No.

Interviewer: What are a public key and private key in cryptography?

Me: The public key is known to everyone while the private key is kept secret.

Interviewer: Can you explain the two other projects mentioned in your resume.

Me: I explained to him both the projects thoroughly.

Interviewer: What are latency and throughput?

Me: Latency is the delay that takes place in between processing of data or instruction. Throughput is the number of instructions processed per unit time.

Interviewer: Ok. I am done with you. Do you have any questions for me?

Me: If I get selected what will be the training period? The interviewer cleared my query.

1 month later results were out and 28 students were selected. I was one of them.

I would like to thank GeeksforGeeks for helping me out. Without the GeeksforGeeks Coding platform, I could not have made it.
