The whole process was online. 27 students were shortlisted for the Interview. 10 got selected.
Round 1 Online Assessment It was a written round consisting of 20 MCQs and 2 coding questions MCQs consisted of all computer science basics including SQL, DBMS, CN, and OS. Coding Questions were: You are given an initial amount of charge in a mobile, it charges at different rates per minute( which were given in ranges) depending on the current charge amount.
output the time required to reach a given amount of charge. You are given a string of characters(all lowercase) representing toys to buy and some amount of money. you can only buy consecutive toys and one certain type of toy can be bought for free, each type and cost of each item were given. you have to return a maximum number of toys that can be bought. (Solved using Sliding Window)
Round 2 Technical Time: 1hour It started with my introduction. He started with https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dsa/a-linked-list-with-next-and-arbit-pointer/ and asked me about DBMS and OS concepts in between. I completely implemented the code and he was happy. Then he asked me https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dsa/inorder-successor-in-binary-search-tree/ I coded it and explained my approach he was satisfied. The interviewer was helping me throughout the interview.
Round 3 Technical Time: 30 min It started with my introduction and discussion on OOPS concepts like difference between abstraction and encapsulation. Then he switched to DSA. The first question was variation of https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dsa/edit-distance-dp-5/ where only insert and delete operations were allowed. I started with recursion and optimized by dynamic programming and interviewer was happy. He asked me about my projects and briefly about the tech used. Then he asked me questions of CN (which I couldn't answer). Finally he asked me a puzzle to end with and I solved it. The interviewer was friendly and suggested me some tips. Try to be honest and clear with your answers here, If you don't know something admit it to the interviewer. 10 students made it to HR round
Round 4 Hr The HR called me and we had a great talk for about 10 minutes. He asked me about my family and how did my two interview rounds go. What made me motivated to work on my projects. What kind of work culture I preferred. Be clear and honest with your answers. All 10 were selected including me !! Try to be honest and be clear with your answers. I answered about 50% of questions in round-3 so, don't hesitate to admit if you don't know something.

About Makemytrip Interview Reports
This question was reported by a candidate who interviewed at Makemytrip. LeakCode aggregates interview reports from 10+ sources, including 1Point3Acres, Glassdoor, LeetCode Discuss, Blind, Reddit, Indeed, and Nowcoder. Each report is translated where necessary, deduplicated against existing entries, and tagged by company, role, round type, and reporting date.
Use this question as one calibration data point, not a memorization target. Companies typically rotate their question pools every 2-4 months; the exact wording of a 2024 question may differ from what you encounter today. The underlying pattern, difficulty level, and follow-up depth at Makemytrip are the higher-signal extractions to take from this report.
For broader preparation context, the Makemytrip interview process typically includes a recruiter screen, one or two technical phone screens, and a 4-5 round on-site loop covering coding, system design (at L4+ levels), and behavioral. Reports tagged on LeakCode show the round-by-round distribution and typical difficulty calibration. To browse questions filtered by round type and seniority, use the company hub linked above.
How To Practice This Type of Question
Solve similar problems on LeetCode under timed conditions (25-35 minutes per medium difficulty). The goal is pattern recognition: recognize the underlying technique (sliding window, two-pointer, BFS, memoized recursion, etc.) within 60-90 seconds of reading. Strong candidates verbalize their hypothesis out loud before coding, then iterate based on feedback. Weak candidates dive into implementation immediately, lose time on the wrong approach, and run out of time for follow-ups.
Companies update their question pools every 2-4 months. The exact wording of any given question may have been retired by the time you interview. Focus your prep on the pattern, not the specific problem. The patterns that appear in Makemytrip reports consistently are the ones worth investing in; one-off niche problems are not.
During Your Makemytrip Round
Apply the standard interview round template: clarify requirements (2-3 minutes), state your approach out loud and confirm direction with the interviewer (3-5 minutes), code with narration (15-25 minutes), test with concrete examples including edge cases (5 minutes), discuss optimization or trade-offs if time permits (5 minutes). This template is universally accepted across FAANG and adjacent companies; deviating from it produces weaker interviewer feedback signal.
The single most predictive failure mode in Makemytrip reports tagged "no hire": not asking clarifying questions. Interviewers are explicitly trained to weight this. Strong candidates ask 3-5 clarifying questions even on problems that look obvious; weak candidates dive into code immediately. The clarifying-question check is often the first signal recorded in the interviewer's written notes.
