Kotak Mahindra Bank Software Engineer interview experience

Posted Sep 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I went through a Bar Raiser style round for an SDE-2 role at Kotak Mahindra Bank where the focus was very clearly on DSA and LLD.

The session had two DSA questions plus an LLD problem, and it felt structured from start to finish.

For the DSA part, I had to solve a Roman to integer conversion, and then I was asked to remove duplicates from a sorted array. After that, the low-level design prompt was an event ticket booking system. I had to walk through the data model and design—building a DB schema, defining the classes and how they related, and then describing class methods with parameters so the flow made sense end to end.

Overall it felt like a round where the interviewer wanted correctness and clean modeling more
