Round 3: Technical Interview 2
An in-campus interview lasting 40 minutes. Questions were based on the resume, and covered HTTP, HTTPS, SSL, TLS, private and public key. Mutex and semaphores were discussed in depth with real-life problem-solving scenarios. A DSA Trie question (similar in nature) was also asked.
