Interview preparation journey
Journey
This opportunity came through an on-campus drive by Josh Technology Group. I applied for the role and attempted the 85-minute online assessment conducted on campus. After being shortlisted, I received an interview invitation from HR via email to visit the Josh office in Gurugram. I was rejected after the fourth round.
Application story
This opportunity began with an on-campus drive by Josh Technology Group, and I was genuinely excited to apply as it was one of the key companies visiting our campus. I submitted my application and prepared sincerely for the selection process. The first step was an 85-minute online assessment conducted on campus, where I focused on giving my best performance.
After the results were announced, I was happy to be shortlisted for the next stage. Soon after, I received an interview invitation from HR via email to visit the Josh office in Gurugram. Visiting the office itself felt like a big step forward in my journey. There, I went through many rounds of interviews, each one testing my technical knowledge and problem-solving skills. Although I was rejected after the 4th round, and later learned that there were a total of five rounds in the complete process, the entire experience became an important learning phase in my application journey.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was rejected because I wasn’t able to clearly convey my understanding during the second round, where we had to test and answer questions based on their internal HRM system. In the last round, we had a group discussion with five candidates where we were asked to suggest improvements and changes as developers and quality analysts. Unfortunately, I couldn’t contribute many strong points during the discussion, and I was not selected further.

The @ should not be the first or last character.
There should be at least 2 characters after the last .

Return "Valid" if the email follows all rules, otherwise return "Invalid".
Problem approach
Step 1: I first understood all the validation rules like checking exactly one @, at least one . after @, and minimum two characters after the last dot.
Step 2: I checked the count and position of @ to ensure it was valid.
Step 3: Then I verified that a . exists after @ and that the domain part has at least two characters after the last dot.
Step 4: I also considered edge cases like multiple @, missing dot, or invalid domain length before returning "Valid" or "Invalid".
