UST Interview Experience For Software Engineer (On-Campus)

UST recently conducted campus recruitment at Dr. D. Y. Patil Institute of Technology, Pimpri, Pune, targeting candidates for the Software Engineer role for the graduating batch of 2024. The preliminary session included a comprehensive presentation about the company and an overview of the job responsibilities. The eligibility criteria were stipulated as follows:
Exclusive eligibility for Computer Science (CS) and Information Technology (IT) students.
A minimum aggregate of 60% or above in both 10th and 12th grades.
A CGPA of 6.0 or higher with a prerequisite of having no pending backlogs.

Round 1: [Online Assessment]

The recruitment process consisted of several rounds, starting with an online assessment that covered multiple-choice questions (MCQs) on core subjects and coding problems. Notably, the online assessment required candidates to take the test on-site, discouraging remote participation.

Round 2: [English Communication Round]

Subsequently, shortlisted candidates proceeded to an English Communication Round, which was conducted online. Only 9 candidates advanced to this stage. This round evaluated basic English skills and incorporated unique elements, such as candidates recording a video explanation of a given paragraph and responding to questions based on an audio or video prompt.

Round 3: [Technical Interview – 1]

The conversation commenced with a self-introduction, followed by inquiries about details on my resume and a detailed exploration of the projects I had listed, particularly emphasizing a full-stack project. Subsequently, I was presented with a moderately challenging LeetCode question: determining the length of the longest common subsequence between two strings (https://leetcode.com/problems/longest-common-subsequence/description/). Successfully tackling this question led to further exploration into theory-based questions.
