The Test Was Conducted On HackerEarth. It Had 2 Sections. Section-A Had 30 Multiple Choice Questions & Section-B Had 2 Programming Questions. 

The MCQs Were On Java, Python, MongoDB, MySQL, JSON, Cloud Computing, JavaScript & C++ With the Majority Of Them On Java.

Half Of The Questions Were Theory-Based And The Other Half Were Output Based On JAVA & C++. I Would Highly Recommend Having An Excellent Knowledge Of Both JAVA & C++ To Ace Up The Online Round.

The 2 Programming Questions In Section-B Were Of 20 & 50 Marks Respectively. The 1st Question Was Easy And I Was Able To Solve It Easily. It Was Based On Number Theory. The 2nd Question Was Really Hard And Was A String Pattern Matching Question Quite Similar To The Z-Algorithm. Solving The 2nd Question Is Like A Bonus Because This Question Carries The Highest Marks. I Was Able To Solve Both The Questions.

The Interview Round Was Conducted On 18th November 2020. It Was Both A Managerial Round & HR Round And Was Conducted On Webex. Every Candidate Was Assigned A Time Slot And An Interviewer. My Interviewer Was Very Friendly.
 

1. HR Questions

He Began My Interview By Telling Me To Introduce Myself & What Differentiates Yourself From Others. He Also Had A Little Discussion About My Hobbies And Extra-Curricular Activities & My Strength And Weaknesses. He Then Started Asking Me Questions About Team Management & Team Conflict. He Gave Me Many Scenarios Of Team Conflict And Asked A Solution For Those. He Gave Me Conflicts Which Can Arise During Working In a Team & Asked My Way Of Handling Them. 

2. Technical Questions

Then He Asked Me About My Projects. I Had A Couple Of Projects In JAVA And He First Asked Me Why I Made These Projects, What Was My Goal For Making These Projects & The Technologies Used. He Then Asked Me Questions On OOPS & Told Me To Explain With An Example In JAVA. I Was Able To Answer All The OOPS Questions That The Interviewer Asked Me. At Last, He Told Me Whether I Had Any Questions For The Interviewer To Which I Asked Him About The Internship Role.
