2 Male panelists (P1 - 60s, P2 - 30s)
P1: Have you completed your graduation?
Me: No
P1: So what are you pursuing and from where?
Me: Answered
P1: Are you doing any projects in college?
Me: Shared my project details
P1: So you have studied Computer Networks?
Me: Yes Sir
P1 then went on to ask questions on networks for roughly 10 mins, asked about different layers, their role. Also went on to ask about Analog to Digital converter, in which layer it is, where is sequencing done, how will it hamper. And further, I don't even remember.
I could answer roughly 30-40% of all questions.
P1: Tell me about the multi-core processor
Me: Answered in a basic way.
P1: Asked about compilers internal working, also interpreters internal working. Specifically told not to say from a user perspective but answer as an engineer.
Me: I answered just a basic point.
P1: Asked if I could add more
Me: No sir.
Then he asked P2 to continue.
P2: Talked about internet penetration and asked to give 5 advantages and disadvantages each in 1 min.
Me: Gave 5 advantages and 3 disadvantages.
P2: Asked if I could add any more disadvantages.
Me: No sir
P2: Asked why Facebook, WhatsApp was in the news
Me: Asked if he was talking about WhatsApp's privacy policy.
He said yes and I continued on that for about a min.
P2: Are you aware of any toolkit?
Me: talked about the whole Greta Thunberg and Disha Ravi thing for 2 mins.
P1, P2 - Thank you, you may leave.
The interview was about 23–25 mins.
Conclusion: All in all a bad interview, asked about all sorts of low-level subjects of computers like compiler and processor and networks. Couldn't answer more than half of them. 17 mins of grilling technical questions only.
P2 part was pretty good, I could answer to my best abilities.
