Journey
This was an off-campus opportunity. The first round was an online assessment with around 30 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and a coding question, all within a 1-hour time limit. The MCQs were moderate to easy, mainly focusing on core CSE fundamentals (OS, DBMS, Java) and reasoning. After that, I had an online technical interview. Following that, I attended another technical interview at the UKG office in Noida, and finally, an HR round.
