I applied through college or university. I interviewed at IDFC FIRST Bank in Feb 2025
Interview
I recently appeared for a fictional interview at IDFC Bank for a Software Developer role in Mumbai. The process began with an HR screening, followed by a 90-minute online coding round on Hackerrank with problems on string processing and simulating banking transactions. The technical interview focused on OOP design, SQL queries for top customers, and concurrency handling in banking systems. The managerial round tested problem-solving under pressure and secure coding practices. HR discussed salary and joining timelines. The entire process was smooth, and I received an offer within five days, emphasizing my skills in clean design, database handling, and reliability.
