I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Paytm (Lucknow) in Aug 2021
Interview
Interview Process had 4 rounds.
1st was an online coding test of 70 minutes in which there were 3 coding questions of easy-medium difficulty.
2nd round was a technical interview focused on DSA and had a brief introduction of my projects.
3rd round was also a technical interview around DSA and core subjects like DBMS and OS.
4th was a general HR round
Good and nice as interview was smooth and up to the mark for the role demand. It could be a bit difficult if you are not into the concept and implementation to a good level. DSA is not the asked for the role they look actual problem solver.
