On-campus Placement drive by BrowserStack Catapult (Placement-linked internship) Role: Software Engineer - Backend. 1. Online Assessment: The first round was OA, it had basic to medium level MCQs related to Web (HTML, CSS, JS), OS, CN and Situational questions. I cleared the OA and was called on-site for further rounds. 2. Machine Coding: This was an on-site round, we were called at the office. The Problem was classic tail -f like log streamer using web sockets. I managed to pass this round as well. 3. Interview with DoE: This was the last round, the director of engineering interviewed me. The interview was completely based on my resume. They asked me about my Internship experiences, projects, strengths-weaknesses, etc. Overall it was a tech+behavioral round. 1 week later, results were announced by the placement cell, I am selected!

First there will be an online assessment mostly technical MCQs which is easy and straightforward. Then they will mostly ask you to build a server side API prototype, for me it was to implement 'tail -f' unix command via sockets for real time updates of a log file. I got 2 hours to do that from scratch - with no AI help although you CAN google for simple queries. tip: Don't use AI to build everything from scratch. Do you homework on web dev, computer networks, Web Sockets and actually understand the working. I dont think they either ways expect from you a full production ready frontend+backend. Just make whatever they ask honestly and with clarity most importantly. Walk through your logic and code - be clear and talkative. Saying this because I did just that - communicate, even though i didn't make the frontend just made bare minimum backend and explained my logic code reasoning and got shortlisted. After that you will be interviewed either alone or in pairs. I got rejected at this last round. Tip for this round: Explain/show your projects and resume; properly do your homework.
