IndiaPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through an on-campus drive that started with a short pre-placement talk and then an online assessment.

The assessment wasn’t just one theme—it included MCQs from areas like machine learning, operating systems, computer networks, and database management systems. There was also an object-oriented design challenge where I had to implement addition of two vectors, plus two SQL queries. The shortlist came out the same day, and my interview was scheduled for the next day.

For the interview round, candidates were split into lists and each list had topics prepared beforehand. My assigned topics included SQL, OOAD, data structures and algorithms, and also Linux, Docker, DevOps, and Jenkins concepts.
