There were two interviewers, they gave briefs about themselves and then asked me to introduce myself.
I wrote 3 projects on my resume, so they asked me to tell briefly about all of them, then they took 2 projects and asked about Technology used its algorithm, and the challenges I faced in making it.
Next up they asked some OS concepts like Semaphore, thread, process and networks concept also.
lastly they showed me a code and i have to guess that it is a prime no code
