Experience:

The candidate applied on campus and started with an online assessment that included DSA questions, all of which were solved within the given time. Following this, the candidate was shortlisted for interviews, which comprised two technical rounds and one HR round. The candidate attributed their selection to clearing all rounds and having strong AI projects on their resume.

The online coding test was 90 minutes long and included 3 medium-level coding problems. The camera and mic were on with screen sharing. One specific coding question mentioned was "Path with Maximum Gold" (Moderate difficulty, 25m average time).

Preparation involved a 20-month duration, focusing on Data Structures, OOP, DBMS, Computer Networks, Operating System, ReactJS, MongoDB, NodeJS, and SQL. Tips included being consistent in solving DSA questions daily (aim for 500 total), trying to solve questions before jumping to solutions, and building as many projects as possible for development. Resume tips emphasized focusing on good projects (excluding basic clone apps or to-do lists) and participating in hackathons or contributing to open-source projects.
