Second Round: Technical Coding Test
Candidates who cleared the aptitude test proceeded to the technical coding test. This round consisted of three coding questions, each varying in difficulty level and allocated marks: easy (20 marks), medium (20 marks), and hard (50 marks). The coding test aimed to assess candidates’ coding proficiency, problem-solving skills, and ability to write efficient and scalable code.
Do’s and Don’ts of the Technical Coding Test:
- Understand the problem statement thoroughly before starting to code.
- Break down complex problems into smaller, manageable tasks.
- Use appropriate data structures and algorithms to optimize code efficiency.
- Write clean, readable code with descriptive variable names and comments.
- Test your code rigorously with different test cases to ensure correctness.
- Avoid rushing into coding without a clear plan or understanding of the problem.
- Refrain from using brute force approaches if more efficient solutions are available.
- Ensure consideration of edge cases and boundary conditions in your code.
Preparation Tips:
- Practice coding questions from various online platforms, focusing on different difficulty levels.
- Review common data structures and algorithms such as arrays, linked lists, trees, sorting, and searching techniques.
- Brush up on programming concepts and syntax in the language of your choice.
- Familiarize yourself with problem-solving strategies and techniques.
- Participate in coding competitions or mock interviews to simulate real-world scenarios.
