IndiaPosted Sep 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview was heavily centered on CS fundamentals and classic problem solving.

The focus areas included core DSA like arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, and dynamic programming, along with OOP concepts such as inheritance and polymorphism.

They also covered databases with SQL topics like queries, indexing, and normalization, plus OS and networking basics such as deadlocks, paging, and HTTP versus HTTPS / TCP-IP level concepts. I had to complete a coding exercise where I solved a small live problem or explained my approach, and the interviewers sometimes asked about my projects and internship experiences too.
