IndiaPosted Feb 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a mostly lightweight, resume- and communication-focused screening where the questions stayed concept-level before any deeper technical push.

Resume/communication screen — a resume-based, professional conversation covering my background, core programming/data/cloud/AI concepts, and problem-solving approach.
Conceptual technical + short behavioral — general questions tied to my resume: SQL querying, cloud usage scenarios, REST API basics, HTTP status semantics (403/404), and exception handling best practices, then ~15 minutes behavioral about handling conflict.
Online communication round — an easy online assessment-style check; I was told to rely on my own work and the questions were straightforward.
