Detailed resume probe – Internship experience (what I learned and did), *projects* (details and how I made them secure was asked) and about skills mentioned.
Interviewer was supportive enough, asked preferred domain. Fortunately for me I was more into Cyber security than anything else and the job role wanted it. 25-30 minute interview, scenario based and other questions on cyber sec. Got asked questions from Java too as I had it in my resume.

Question Examples
>What if both steps in two-factor authentication system has been hacked and a level 3 factor (like biometric) isn’t there. How will you protect the user?
>Abstract classes in java – what are they? why used?
>Penetration testing steps and what tools I had used.

Experience
Got asked about family, why I did not get IIT in spite of having good marks in Boards, why my CGPA is lower than Board marks. He was just checking whether I get really uncomfortable. If you have cleared the technical round, this won’t be much of a hurdle.

Outcome:

Got selected for the job role. A HR interaction took place after selection, where they ensured whether I am comfortable with relocation and travelling often.
