• starting with some basics of c++
• about data structure like a stack, queue, its complexity analysis
• sorting algorithm, some more on dsa
• scheduling algorithm and some other concept of OS
• some basics of computer networks
• finally they gave me one situation-based question for coding purposes and ask some questions about my code, approach

This round was a little difficult. Within 30 min I got another mail regarding the next round.
