Selected Interview preparation journey
Journey
I started preparing for my interviews in my third year of college. I practiced aptitude questions and referred to various websites and Job Interview Questions. Additionally, I took a C++ coaching course, which sparked my interest in coding.
Application story
I applied through the company’s portal link provided by the college. After clearing the aptitude test, I proceeded to the technical round, followed by the final HR round, and I successfully received my offer letter.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was selected for the role. I remained confident throughout the interview and responded well to the interviewer’s questions. When I didn’t know the exact answer, I confidently shared related insights. I was thoroughly familiar with my resume and the projects I had worked on, presenting myself authentically.
Preparation
Duration: 3-5 Months
Topics: DBMS, OS, OOPS concepts, C++, Data Structures, Web Development
Tip 1: Implement the concepts of OOP in real life.
Tip 2: Practice questions based on recursion, and don't ignore basic or simple questions.
Tip 3: If you don't have time for preparation, focus on your existing knowledge rather than trying to learn something new, because coding requires practice, not cramming of code or logic.
Application process
Where: Campus
Eligibility: Above 70 % (Salary: 6 LPA)
Tip 1: Don't mention random projects that you are unsure about or have copied from Google or elsewhere.
Tip 2: The interviewer may ask anything from your resume, so be prepared for it. Follow the current or updated resume format.

Coding problem2
The assessment test contains aptitude questions that are of easy to medium level, and there were two coding questions that could be solved using any language; they were also of medium level.
1. Rating System
I was asked to write an algorithm to find the rating of the given user's channel based on user rating
Eg . 30-40:- Average
50-60:- Good
>85 :- Excellent
Problem approach
I have used simple if-else conditions to solve this problem. One can also use switch cases.
2. Product Code Sales
I was given a product code for eg. aAbcDbfdab
3 it is the size representing the number of product codes shortlisted by the company
A b c are the characters representing the desired product code.
I was asked to print an integer representing the total sales count of the shortlisted product
Problem approach
My approach was simply to find the occurrence of characters in the product code, after which I multiplied them by the ASCII number and stored the result in a variable, then repeated the same for another character.
Input: aAbcDbfdab
Eg. 'a' occurs two times, i.e., 2*97.
Again, I did the same for 'b', then for 'c', adding these values and storing them in a variable called total sales.
