Describe your all Technical Interviews specifying number of rounds and details of each round (if any).
The technical interview was of two rounds. First one was taken by two interviewers. Starting with the introduction, they asked few questions from my resume like about the Programming languages I have written there and some more. Then, they asked me a coding questions in which I have to convert an Array to a Binary Search Tree and asked to do dry run with the given test case. They asked about my personal skills and about Hackathons I had participated. Overall it was nice and it went well. Second one was taken only by one interviewer. He asked me about my competitive skills and a questions related to why my interest is more towards development than competitive coding. He also asked me a real-world problem to make a personalized gym-trainer and its feasibility. This was taken in about 40-min and was pretty good.
