• To get the question fully accepted, we needed to pass all the test cases correctly. 
• I was able to solve one question completely and the second question partially and I was selected for the next round. A total of 65 students were selected after this round.

Round 3: Technical Interview

• The third round was 90 minutes of one-on-one experience with the interviewer. He first introduced himself and then asked me to introduce myself.
•  He made me very comfortable by asking some general questions about how am I feeling.  He then started with one of my projects and asked me about it. He asked me about my role in that particular project and how did I cope up with a team.

• Rat and the Cats 
• Hourglass Problem and 
• 100 Prisoners with Red/Black Hats

• He then asked me to write a few SQL queries and asked a few basic DBMS questions. 

Round 4 :

•  The fourth round was a case study round. 10-15 students were selected after the 3 rounds. In this round, we were given a case study and were asked to read it while the interviewer was sharing her screen.
• Followed by this case study there were a few questions given and I was asked to answer one of them by my choice. This round was basically meant to see my problem-solving skills.

Round 5: 

• The results of round 4 were announced and in the fifth round I was basically interviewed about my projects and my role in that particular project and how do I look forward to expanding my project.
• This round basically tested that how will I survive in an industry where there is so much competition.
