There were 20 MCQ questions related to aptitude and basic maths. Approximately 45 mins were allowed to complete that section. After that, there were 2 coding questions- one on a string general concept and the other was on Dynamic Programming. Remember that, they're both coding questions were of different points, so attempt accordingly. For 2nd section-time allocated was 60 mins. The Platform is good might hang at few places, so remember to do hard refresh at that time using ctrl+sift+R. Section 2 is of 300 points, section 1 is of 200 points, so attempt both sections carefully. Note- not all MCQs are of same points.

Coding problem3
There were 5 people in the zoom meet, including me. Rest all 4 were interviewers, 3 from India and 1 from the United Kingdom.
They started with my introduction and then moved on to the questions from my resume, starting with my internship at Samsung Bangalore and then projects.
Then another interviewer asked about my weakness and strength. Then comes the turn of coding questions.
Starting with finding the minimum element in O(1) time, rotating the 2-D array by 90 degrees, OOPS questions were also asked like- polymorphism, abstraction, virtual class. Some OS questions were- cache, paging algorithms.
Then come my POR and other activities.
1. Kth Smallest Element

Asked in companies
You are given an array of integers 'ARR' of size 'N' and another integer 'K'.
Your task is to find and return 'K'th smallest value present in the array.
Note: All the elements in the array are distinct.
Example
If 'N' is 5 and 'K' is 3 and the array is 7, 2, 6, 1, 9
Sorting the array we get 1, 2, 6, 7, 9
Hence the 3rd smallest number is 6.
2. Inplace rotate matrix 90 degree

Asked in companies
You are given a square matrix of non-negative integers of size 'N x N'. Your task is to rotate that array by 90 degrees in an anti-clockwise direction without using any extra space.
For example:
For given 2D array :
[ [ 1, 2, 3 ],
[ 4, 5, 6 ],
[ 7, 8, 9 ] ]
After 90 degree rotation in anti clockwise direction, it will become:
[ [ 3, 6, 9 ],
[ 2, 5, 8 ],
[ 1, 4, 7 ] ]
