Experience:

The first round was an Aptitude Round. The questions were moderate and covered topics like probability, permutation and combination, work and time, average, and ratio. The focus was on logical problem-solving rather than memorizing formulas.

Round 2 was Technical Interview 1, conducted with a Team Leader. This round involved technical questions, discussions about the candidate's projects, technologies used, and some logical problems.

Round 3 was Technical Interview 2. In this round, the candidate was given two programming problems: "Transform one string to another using minimum number of given operation" and "Lowest Common Ancestor in Binary Tree". Following the coding questions, there were discussions based on Computer Fundamentals (Operating System, Computer Networks, DBMS) and language-related questions (Python in this case). The candidate was ultimately selected.
