We were shortlisted based on our CGPA and resume. (CGPA >= 8.5)
There were 3 rounds of interviews:
Tech Round 1:
Here, I was asked to introduce myself. Then I was asked 2 coding questions. One was 2-Sum and the other was Checked if the given linked list is a palindrome.
- After the coding questions, I was asked about pointers and variables.

This ended the first round. I was able to clear this round.
Tech Round 2:
It starts with introducing yourself. After that, I was asked to explain any one project done by me in detail.
Various questions were asked on OOPS (guess the output, what does this code do, What is different between the 2 codes given)
Then, One coding question was asked – print level order traversal of a binary tree. I used the STL queue in this code, So I was asked to implement a queue.
Another coding question was to print numbers from 1 to 100 without using loops.
After this few questions were asked on the basics of cpp. (what is a static variable, static function, etc)
This ended the second round. I cleared this round.
