Sasken Technology Interview Experience for Associate Software Engineer (On-Campus) 2023

I applied for the position of Associate Software Engineer through my college and received an invitation for an interview. The hiring process comprised three rounds: an Online Assessment (on campus), a Technical Interview (on campus), and a Hiring Manager Interview (virtual).

Online Assessment Round (On Campus):

The assessment was conducted on the Mettl platform and consisted of two sections. The first section included technical multiple-choice questions (MCQs), analytical ability, and problem-solving. This portion, lasting 45 minutes, covered 30 technical MCQs, involving code snippets in C and C++. The second section focused on analytical ability and problem-solving, featuring 10 questions related to graphs and blood relations. Additionally, there was a coding question that required writing code in the C language.

Technical Interview (On Campus):

This interview lasted approximately 55 minutes. After a brief introduction, the discussion delved into data structures and algorithms (DSA) and object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts. I was given pen and paper to solve problems related to DSA, followed by questions on OOP concepts and some related to operating systems.

Hiring Manager Interview (Virtual):

Conducted on the Microsoft Teams platform, this 10-minute interview took place a week after the on-campus sessions. The hiring manager started by introducing themselves and then proceeded to inquire about the projects listed on my resume. Following this, they provided details about the company.

Preparation Tips:

Thoroughly review your resume, paying close attention to the projects and work experiences you have mentioned.

Practice solving medium to hard-level problems on platforms like LeetCode and GeeksForGeeks. While doing so, focus on understanding and applying conc

The study was conducted on the Mettle platform and consisted of two phases. The first section covered technical multiple-choice questions (MCQs), analytical abilities, and problem solving. The 45-minute segment covered 30 technical MCQs, covering small pieces of code in C and C++. The second part focused on analytical abilities and problem solving, and included 10 questions about images and blood relationships. Additionally, there was a coding question that required writing code in C language.

The 10-minute interviews on the Microsoft Teams platform followed a week of on-campus meetings. The hiring manager started by introducing herself and then proceeded to inquire about the jobs listed on my resume. Then, information about the company was presented.

Some Preparation Tips:

• Revise your resume again. Go through the projects and work experiences that you mentioned.
• Try to solve some medium hard problems on leetcode and GeeksForGeeks tagged questions but don’t completely rely on them. Instead, focus on building concepts and writing clean and easily understandable code.
• Revise some DBMS ans OS questons and problems.
• Having good knowledge of DSA and OOPS.
