Journey
I started my journey with very basic coding knowledge. To improve, I followed Striver’s DSA sheet regularly, which helped me get better at problem-solving. Alongside that, I learned core computer fundamentals and aptitude through Coding Ninjas. I also explored a bit of web development to understand how things work in real-world applications. Balancing everything with college was tough, but I stayed consistent. Cracking the Mphasis SDE internship felt really rewarding — it proved that with the right mindset and steady effort, things do fall into place.
Application story
I applied for the Mphasis SDE internship through my college’s campus placement drive. The entire process was well-structured. After the initial shortlisting based on resumes, we had an online test that covered coding, aptitude, and basic computer science topics. Once I cleared that, I was called for the interview round. The communication was smooth throughout, and the interview happened virtually. Within a few days, I received the HR round mail, and then I received the final offer letter.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I believe I was selected because I had a good grasp of coding fundamentals, thanks to consistent practice through Striver’s DSA sheet. I also had a clear understanding of core CS subjects like OOPs and DBMS, which helped during the interview, along with basic knowledge of web development and strong communication skills.

The first round was an online test that included a mix of aptitude and technical questions. It had 75 MCQs in total—25 from quantitative aptitude, 25 from logical reasoning, and 25 from core computer science subjects like OS, DBMS, and OOPs. In addition to that, there was one DSA-based coding question, which was of an easy level.

You are given a positive integer 'N'. Your task is to return all the prime numbers less than or equal to the 'N'.

Note:

1) A prime number is a number that has only two factors: 1 and the number itself.

2) 1 is not a prime number.
Problem approach

To solve this efficiently for large values of n, consider using the Sieve of Eratosthenes algorithm.

2. Aptitude Question

Ram's age and his daughter's age differ by 2 years. What will their ages be after 10 years, given that Ram's age will be three times his daughter's age at that time?

3. What is the value of p in the following C++ code snippet?

 #include 
   using namespace std;
   int main()
   {
       int p;
       bool a = true;
       bool b = false;
       int x = 10;
       int y = 5;
       p = ((x | y) + (a + b));
       cout << p;
       return 0;
   }

Problem approach

Ans – 16

| means bitwise OR operation, so x | y (0101 | 1010) will be evaluated as 1111, which is the integer 15. Since a is True and b is False, a + b (1 + 0) equals 1. So, the final value of the expression in line #10 will be 15 + 1 = 16.

It was completely resume-based. The interviewer was a Product Manager and had a very relaxed demeanour. The interview went well.

1. System Design

During the interview, I was asked about Redis, which I had mentioned in my resume. The interviewer wanted to know how I would implement Redis in a real project. I explained that Redis can be used for caching frequently accessed data—like product details on an e-commerce website—to reduce database load and improve response time. I also mentioned that Redis can store user sessions or authentication tokens for faster access in a web application. They wanted to assess whether I truly understood the purpose and practical usage of Redis, beyond just listing it on my resume.

Problem approach

Tip 1: Only add things to your resume that you genuinely know.
Tip 2: Practice SQL questions from any reliable platform.
Tip 3: Learn the theoretical concepts of OOPs thoroughly.
