I secured rank 3551 over 185k+ participants by solving two questions(Constellation and Primetime again). I was shortlisted for a Direct Interview, which was held virtually on the Cisco Webex platform. The interview lasts about 30 minutes which consists of both HR and TR.

- Are you comfortable with relocation?
The following questions were asked by Person B:
- Tell me about Yourself.
- What is your favorite programming language? Why?
- Difference C and Python?
- Data types that are not there in C over Python?
- Python packages are you familiar with?
- Difference between Arrays in C and Lists in python?
- Questions on your projects.
The following questions were asked by Person C:
- Questions on previous projects.
- Questions on Trees and different traversing techniques.
- Difference between BFS and DFS.
- How to insert a node into a Tree? (only Logic)
- How do we measure the Execution time of a program in C and Python? By using packages and command-line arguments?
- Why TCS?
- If you have a chance to join FAANG, will you join?
- Importance of Teamwork in an Organization.
