Interview
Interview process was very smooth, conducted via Superset. There were two rounds in the interview.
Firstly, in the technical round I had been asked about basic programming concepts, like loops and arrays. Interviewer gave me a simple code which I had to run on the superset window. Then asked me some basic questions on SQL, asked me to write a simple query. Thereafter I was asked for explaining my final year project, and in my case interviewer took most of the time asking about my project, like motivation, data collection, analysis, future scope etc. Also I was asked some tricky questions regarding my project.
Secondly, I got a call for HR round 3 days later. HR round was also held via Superset. They asked me about relocation, willingness to join the internship program and to show few credentials like 10th board marksheet, Aadhar card etc. That's all, HR round was hardly went for 10 minutes.
