Round 1:  First round was held online on cocubes platform. We were given the username password for the same. The test contained 30 aptitude questions(20 logical reasoning and data interpretation and 10 Quantitative) and 2 coding questions. The duration of test was 1 hour i.e. 30 minutes for aptitude questions and 30 minutes for coding.

Difficulty level: Aptitude questions were of moderate level. Focus on your speed and accuracy. Practice to solve long passage questions quickly and accurately.

Coding; There were two questions-

1. Find the 3rd last consonant in the given input string.

2. Merge two sorted linked list and output the given linked list without using any extra memory.

i was able to complete 1 question out of 2 coding questions in the given 30 minutes time.

Languages allowed- C, C++ and java.

Out of around 50-60 candidates, 10 candidates were selected for the interview.

 Round 2:(Technical Interview) Although it was an on campus placement but the interview was held online on webex. I actually was not that nervous because the interview was going to held online.

6. Which protocol is used for mail transfer (Answer- TCP which works over SMTP)

7.  Sort the following sorting algorithms in terms of their time complexity- Heap sort, Quick sort, Merge sort, Selection Sort

TIP- Learn the concepts of core subjects as well. He was quite obsessed for the same.

The interview lasts for about an hour, The results declaration was immediate after the interview. I was called upon for the next round.

Round 3:(Managerial Round) This interview was quite easy and last for about 10-15 minutes.
