Introduction / HR Interview:

Interviewer:

“Good morning, Shubham! Let’s start with a brief introduction. Can you tell me about
yourself?”

You:

“Good morning! My name is Shubham Pathak. I am currently in my 4 th year of B.Tech in


Computer Science and Engineering at [Your College Name]. I completed my 12 th with 75%
in 2021 and my 10th with 71% in 2019. Though I haven’t worked on major projects so far, I
have gained a solid foundation in subjects like programming, data structures, and
algorithms, and I am constantly working to improve my skills. I am eager to apply my
theoretical knowledge in a practical work environment, and I am keen on learning and
growing in the software development field.”

2. Technical Interview:

Interviewer:

“Can you tell us about a programming language you are comfortable with?”

You:

“I am comfortable with languages like C, C++, and Python. I have done basic coding in
these languages, including solving problems related to algorithms and data structures. I
have focused a lot on understanding the core concepts and am practicing regularly on
platforms like LeetCode and CodeForces to enhance my problem-solving skills.”

Interviewer:
“Since you haven’t worked on any projects yet, how do you plan to gain practical
experience?”

You:

“While I haven’t had the chance to work on large-scale projects yet, I’ve been actively
working on smaller individual coding challenges, participating in hackathons, and
contributing to open-source repositories. These have given me some exposure to
collaborative work and real-world problem-solving. Additionally, I plan to start a few
personal projects now to demonstrate my capabilities in web development or app
development in the near future.”

Interviewer:

“What are your strengths in technical areas, and how do you approach learning new
technologies?”

You:

“I believe my strength lies in problem-solving and logical thinking. I enjoy breaking down
complex problems into simpler parts, which helps me tackle programming challenges
effectively. When it comes to learning new technologies, I take a hands-on approach. I start
by understanding the basic concepts through online tutorials, and then I work on small
projects or exercises to gain practical experience. I also follow tech blogs and communities
to stay updated.”

3. Behavioral/Soft Skills Interview:

Interviewer:

“Can you describe a time when you faced a challenge while studying, and how did you
overcome it?”
You:

“In one of my earlier semesters, I found the subject of Data Structures quite challenging,
especially when dealing with algorithms like dynamic programming. Instead of getting
discouraged, I broke the study material into smaller chunks, watched tutorials to
understand the concepts, and practiced problems regularly. Eventually, I was able to grasp
the concepts well, and it became one of my stronger areas.”

Interviewer:

“How do you handle teamwork or collaboration when working on a project?”

You:

“Although I haven’t worked on a formal project yet, I have collaborated with peers on group
assignments during my studies. I believe clear communication is key to successful
teamwork. I make sure to listen actively, share my ideas openly, and contribute effectively
to group discussions. I’m always open to feedback, and I try to support my teammates
whenever needed.”

4. Closing Questions / HR Interview:

Interviewer:

“Why do you want to work with us, and what are your career goals?”

You:

“I’ve researched your company, and I am really impressed by the work you’re doing in
[specific area, e.g., software development, AI, etc.]. I am excited about the opportunity to
contribute my skills to such an innovative team. My goal is to build on my academic
background and gain hands-on experience in software development. In the long term, I aim
to become proficient in [specific field, like full-stack development or data science] and
take on more responsibility within a team.”

5. Tips for Your Interview:

Confidence is Key: Even if you don’t have project experience, show confidence in your
ability to learn and adapt. Focus on what you have done, like coursework, personal
learning, and coding practice.

Be Honest: If you don’t know something, it’s okay to say so, but always express your
willingness to learn.

Practice Problem-Solving: Keep solving coding problems on platforms like LeetCode,


HackerRank, or CodeForces to stay sharp.

Be Prepared with Examples: Even if you haven’t done a project, you can talk about
academic projects, assignments, or any freelance work you may have done.

Good luck with your interview, Shubham! Keep learning and stay confident.
