The first question is based on arrays which was easy and the second question is https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/minimum-time-required-so-that-all-oranges-become-rotten/. Students who have solved one or more than one problem with good aptitude score have been selected to next round of interview. Around 50 people have attended for the first round. Out of which 9 were selected to the next round. 

Round 2: As I have scored well in aptitude and solved one coding question, I have been selected for technical round. Initially, the interviewer asked me to introduce myself. He asked me questions on the projects that I have mentioned in my resume. 

He asked me to write three coding questions:

  1. Remove duplicate elements in a given array. 
  2. Print spiral matrix 
  3. Sum of elements in linked lists were asked. 

After solving all 3 questions, he asked me few more questions on projects.
