Here's my interview experience at PayU india (fresher). Round 1 Firstly, a discussion of projects in resume and a detailed chat on my internship 1. Search for an element in a pivoted array. (Only logic and pseudo code ) 2. Find middle node of a linked list. (Tested a lot by asking questions) 3. LCA in binary tree. (Complete code was required). 4. A puzzle which I can't recollect. (Was not common ) 5. Was asked to design corpus search engine. He told me the basics and I gave ideas based on what I could think of . (Came close to a good design) 6. Some OS questions like mutex and paging. This round well and I qualified for
next round. Round 2 Again, a detailed discussion on projects and internship. This round had very less DSA. 1. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/ given-only-a-pointer-to-a- node-to-be-deleted-in-a- singly-linked-list-how-do-you- delete-it/ 2. https://www.techinterview.org/ post/526370758/100-doors-in-a- row/ (With proof) 3. Asked about semaphores, race conditions, deadlock etc. Asked me to implement a situation. 4. Databases - Gave some data in the form of tables and asked questions on inner join, normalization etc. 5. Again a very hard puzzle, can't remember it. (Was not common ) This round didn't go well as I was not good at OS and DBMS. So, prepare those sections as well apart from DSA. I was
rejected after this round. All Practice Problems for PayU !
