The interview was comparatively easy. Most of the questions were basic and directly related to the topics mentioned on the resume. The interviewer focused on verifying whether the candidate genuinely understood the technologies and projects they had listed, rather than asking advanced or unexpected questions. They asked fundamental questions such as explaining projects, the technologies used, design decisions, basic programming concepts, and core computer science subjects relevant to the resume. There were very few trick questions. If you have a clear understanding of everything you've included on your resume and can explain it confidently with examples, you should be well prepared.
