Campus hiring typically involves evaluating fresh graduates through a structured recruitment process. This often includes coding rounds focused on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), database query challenges (like SQL problems), and behavioral interviews assessing communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. These components help employers gauge both technical proficiency and cultural fit. Candidates are expected to demonstrate clear logic in code, a strong grasp of relational databases, and the ability to handle situational or past-experience-based questions effectively.
