Batch: 2028 | Branch: CS | Total Rounds: 3

Process Snapshot 📸

Eligibility / Shortlisting: Resume screening
Application Route: Off-campus
Overall Timeline: The entire process took around 2-3 weeks. Each interview round lasted about 30-50 minutes, with a gap of 3-4 days between rounds.

This wasn't just a company overview; interviewers were actively checking your genuine interest and personality.

What they looked for:
- Do you truly care about their product and what they're building?
- Are you someone they'd enjoy working with daily?
- Are you serious about this opportunity, or just applying everywhere?
How to impress:
- Show genuine curiosity about their product.
- Ask 1-2 insightful questions.
- Sound natural and enthusiastic, not robotic.

This was highlighted as the most crucial round.

Key areas tested:
- Your React Native fundamentals (components, state, hooks, etc.).
- Real-world problem-solving, including debugging and handling bugs.
- Your approach to unknown problems.
What mattered most (beyond perfect answers):
- Thinking out loud clearly.
- Presenting a structured approach to problems, rather than random guesses.

Especially important for startups, this round focused on how well you'd integrate with the team.

They assessed:
- Your ease of collaboration.
- Humility vs. ego.
- Communication skills.
- Your overall energy and vibe.
