HTML/CSS: Design and code an HTML page with a navigation bar and lists.
OOP Concept: Create a Vehicle class demonstrating object-oriented programming principles.

After the technical interview, I was asked to wait for the managerial round. However, after two hours, the interviewer reviewed my performance and informed me that I was not moving forward. I was eliminated at the technical round itself.
