Interview preparation journey

Application story
It was an on-campus opportunity where I first received a test link for the online assessment. After clearing the test, I proceeded to two interview rounds. I successfully cleared the first technical round, but was unfortunately rejected in the second technical round. The focus of the questions in that round was mainly on Python and my projects.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I don’t know the exact reason, but I gave my best in the interview. Unfortunately, I couldn’t clear that round. However, I believe rejection is a part of life—it gives motivation to improve and eventually achieve success.

I was able to solve the coding question successfully, but I couldn’t answer 2–3 theoretical questions related to Python, such as multithreading concepts. I believe this was the main reason for my rejection.
