The interview process for the Associate Software Engineer role at HighRadius consisted of two rounds.

Round 1: Online Test
This round had a duration of 3 hours and was divided into two sections. The first 30 minutes were allotted for an Aptitude Section. The remaining 2 hours and 30 minutes were for a coding round, which comprised four questions with no language restrictions.

The coding problems mentioned were:

• Problem 1 (Bowls and Marbles): N bowls, each holding max 9 marbles. Add a marble to the Nth bowl. If full, check (N-1)th bowl. If (N-1)th has space, add marble there and empty Nth. Identify the modified bowl. If all bowls are full, print 0.
• Problem 2 (Intern IDs): N interns (1 to N, N<=24). Intern `i` has ID `(5000*i)` on Day 1. For subsequent days, `Day(i) = Day(i-1) + 5000 + (i-1)`. Given an intern ID, output the intern number on that particular day.
• Problem 3 (Street Lights): N street lights (1 to N). Each lamp `i` has `start(i)` and `end(i)`, lighting streets from `start` to `end`. Find how many areas are getting lighted.
• Problem 4 (Bus Stops): N bus stops (1 to N). `B[i]` is the number of buses from stop `i`. A bus from stop `i` only stops at multiples of `i`. Tell the number of unique buses from each stop.

Round 2: Face to Face Interview
This round involved questions about the candidate's projects. Specific Java-related questions were asked, as Java was the preferred language. The questions were basic, such as:

• What is the Object Class? Give any method example of the Object class.
• What is the difference between PreparedStatement, CallableStatement, and Statement?
• Explain garbage collection in Java.

The interview was considered "pretty easy" due to the basic nature of the questions.
