Experience:

Incture visited the campus in August for an Associate Software Engineer profile. The drive included an online test, a design thinking round, a technical interview, and an HR interview.

Round 1: Online Test
This test had two parts: Aptitude (logical reasoning and verbal) and Coding. The aptitude part was "not so easy" but manageable with practice. There were 3 coding questions:

• 2 questions from string manipulation and number games (described as super easy).
• 1 question from Dynamic Programming (DP).

The candidate cleared all test cases. Mostly, those who cleared all three questions were selected, but some with 2.5 questions also made it. Tip: Practice DSA as much as possible, and for aptitude, clear basics are sufficient.

Round 2: Design Thinking Round
This round was important. The suggestion for this round was to research problem statements online, make flowcharts, and write in bullet points, maintaining an intro, solution, and conclusion.

Round 3: Technical Interview Round
The interview started with an introduction. A significant portion (10-15 minutes) was dedicated to discussing the candidate's solution from the design thinking round. The interviewer seemed impressed with the solution. Further questions covered:

• Projects.
• Easy questions on React-JS, HTML, CSS.
• A little bit about programming language basics.

Towards the end, a casual question about favorite sport and player was asked.

Round 4: HR Interview Round
Questions in this round included:

• About school and college background.
• Strengths and weaknesses.
• Knowledge about the company.
• Easy programming questions, such as swapping 2 variables with/without using a third variable.

Tip: Be prepared for questions related to the toughest coding question from the online test.
