Round 1 (Written Test) There were 3 DSA Question.
1 was easy, 1 medium and 1 hard. I don’t remember the questions.
Round 2 (Technical Interview 1): There was 2 interviewers.
- Tell me about yourself.
- Explain Project.
- Interrupted me in between explaining the project and asked What is Normalization in DBMS and its all types with example.
- Coding question. It was a variation of Spiral Matrix array Problem. They generally ask 2 coding questions but I took much time in solving this first question only and no time was left for the next question. So I was not expecting to get shortlist for next round. List came after an hour when everyone was done with first Technical round and very few was selected. Mine name was also not there .
But all of a sudden after 2 hours TNP head informed me that I am also selected for next round. (Maybe because I keep trying doing the first question and finally code it correctly).
I was informed on a very short notice.
Round 3: Technical Interview 2
- Explain project
-
Coding question : A group of words are given in a string and we have to identify whether we can make a given sentence with the help of those words or not. for ex:
input: dict[]={gfg, are, of, is, a, coding, weather, platform, apple, mask} str ="gfg is a coding platform" output: yes -
Coding question: Something like this I don’t exactly remember the question.
A linked list is given its node has a data value and 2 pointers, one pointer is pointing to next node and another is pointing to an arbitrary node(to any other node of given list). We have to sort the list and point those arbitrary pointers to their real pointing nodes.
I was not selected further for the HR round.
Cracking Hashed-In is not that easy. But I realized if you won’t give up and keep coming up with approaches they will definitely give you hints, try to speak louder so that they can get to know where you are heading. And keep trying don’t sit quite. But don’t speak shit. Interviewers were Friendly ,helpful and straightforward.
