Hello Everyone,

I am a CSE undergraduate at NIT Patna. Parth Universal visited our campus at the end of May for Summer Internship. I am going to explain the interview experience of Parth Universal. 

Selection Procedure:

Round 1 – Online Assessment (60minutes):  The OA was organized on HackerEarth. There were 2 coding questions of Medium difficulty levels.

  1. The first question was slight modification of this question where we need to find maximum alternating sum among all non-empty subarrays -> https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/maximum-sum-alternating-subarray/
  2. There are n towers placed sequentially in the city. Tower x is visible from tower y if all towers between x and y have a height strictly less than that of x. For each tower, find the number of towers visible from this tower, both on the left and right sides. ( e.g:  If heights = [5,2,10,1], return [2,2,3,1] ).

There were 400 students who appeared in the OA out of which 21 made it to the next round. I was one of them.

Round 2 – Personal Interview (60-70minutes): The interview was taken on Google Meet and there were 3 interviewers there. It started with the interviewer’s intro and then mine. 

  • They went through my resume and started asking questions about my previous internship projects. They gave me different real-life scenarios and asked me if there will be million of users then how will you improve the search query from the database. I used payment integration in my project, they asked me what happens behind the scene when any payment fails and I explained about webhook integration which they wanted to hear from me. There were many counter questions and then I showed them my working projects which were hosted.
  • Then they gave me to write a SQL query and asked questions like what’s the difference between ‘where’ and ‘having’ clause, how can I improve the query performance, etc.
  • After this, they talked about my freelancing experience and asked me to show my profile on Upwork. They got impressed by my profile and asked how I have done all these being in 3rd year of graduation. Then there was some normal conversation. At last, they asked if I have any questions from my side. I asked for my feedback and then the interview ended.

For all the other candidates there were 2 DSA coding questions, CS fundamentals questions and project discussions, but for me there were no DSA questions due to my development and freelancing profile.

14 candidates were selected for the internship and I was one of them. 🙂
