BengaluruPosted Feb 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I completed a campus-style multi-round process with multiple timed assessments (DSA coding, AI/English tests, and in-person technical/behavior checks), generally ending up as easy-to-moderate to moderate difficulty.

Campus OA (DSA coding) — an OA with two DSA problems on HackerRank.
AI English assessment + follow-on timed DSA — an AI English test followed by another HackerRank test with two DSA questions and an AI behavioral component; I had to type short responses with strict time limits.
Final face-to-face round — a mix of technical concepts, project discussion, and behavioral questions.
Campus placements (breadth fundamentals) — another track included 1–2 easy LeetCode DSA questions plus fundamentals like OOP, SQL/DBMS, Docker, OS concepts, Python basics, and basic system
