I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jan 2025
Interview
Microsoft data science intern interviews involve structured rounds, focusing on technical skills like SQL, machine learning, and problem-solving. Candidates are assessed for cultural fit and communication skills. The process includes behavioral questions, coding challenges, and case studies to evaluate analytical thinking and data interpretation abilities. Preparation in these areas is crucial for success.
