Experience:

This was an on-campus interview experience for a Technical Intern role in December 2020.

Round 1: Online Assessment

This round consisted of an E-litmus PH test which was 120 minutes long and had sections on Aptitude, Reasoning, and English, described as CAT-level and hard difficulty. Additionally, there was a 40-minute MCQ test covering OOPS, C, C++, Computer Networks (CN), DBMS, and OS fundamentals.

Round 2: Technical Round 1 (35-40 min)

This round delved into deep questions on Operating Systems and Computer Networks. Some specific questions were: "Compilation Process of C program.", "Linking and Loading?", "What happens when you type a URL.", "Protocols and OSI Model in detail.", "Protocols at each layer of TCP/IP Model and what are they used for?", "HTTP vs HTTPS?", and "Symmetric vs Asymmetric Cryptography.". A coding question "Based on prime no." was asked, and an Aptitude question on "Time and Clock (Find angle type)". The candidate mentioned making a silly mistake in the coding question and giving a wrong answer to the Aptitude question, though the theoretical part went well. Only one student received an offer, and the candidate was rejected.
