September 25, 2025Two Questions were given. One is easy level and one is medium level.

Advice- Try to get all test case passed One more thing this round was held after the previous two rounds which were online coding and communication. The round I mentioned here were held in presence of recruiter.
Communication Round
September 25, 2025In this 5 Questions were given. We have to write about 400 words in 5 minutes. Given a scenario we have to write a mail or essay kind of thing.
Technical+ HR interview Round
September 25, 2025This round was to check technical skills. Asked everything written in resume. Mostly focused on Python, file handling and CS fundamentals.
Advice: No matter how good your round goes. If you have not passed all the test cases in coding round. Most probably you'll be rejected, like I was.
Detailed Experience & Tips
So overall the on campus recruitment was easy if you stay calm and have intermediate coding skills. It do depend on interviewer as well. My interviewer didn't asked a a lot of technical question. Because he really wasn't interested in hiring me as all the test cases were not passed in coding round.
I really advice that do try to pass all the test case. Not necessarily optimal but if you score 100/100 in coding round then your chance to get selected are 90%.
