ZS conducted a Campus Beats program in march 2022. It was for students graduating in 2023. Students can take part individually or in a team. There were two challenges.
- Case challenge
- Tech challenge
I participated in a team and took the tech challenge. It was a 6 hours test and only one team member can give the test.
The Tech challenge consists of 3 sections. The first consists of 2 coding questions and the difficulty level are easy-medium. The next section is in the frontend and there were 2 questions (HTML/CSS/Javascript). The last section is DBMS and has 3 SQL questions. The results were declared in April and we cleared the tech challenge. We were given 3 roles and we have to choose one from them. I opted for the BTSA- Business Technology Solution Associate role.
