IndiaPosted Dec 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a Java/C and core-CS style technical track that felt tough and very “straight to fundamentals,” with no later follow-through.

Technical interview — Deep dive into C programming, pointers, and memory management (including pointer/array/string handling and memory leaks), with the discussion continuing until we reached practical details.
Technical round — Basics on C and Java, work-project walkthroughs, then hands-on questions: OOPs (encapsulation/inheritance) and sorting algorithms like bubble/selection/quick sort.
Technical round — A short set of Java-to-database questions focused on connection concepts: how to connect Java to a database, which interface is used, and what class is imported.
