My Kotak interview felt pretty straightforward and well organized, and it centered on verifying fundamentals plus practical problem-solving.

The interviewer focused heavily on Java—especially Collections and how the collection types work and get used under the hood. I was asked about different collection classes, when you’d use them, and how to think about their behavior.
