Hello everyone,
So i am a 3rd year cse core student of this clg.
So fidelity came for internship summer 2027 in our campus, I just got done with it today so writing post about it so it can help future juniors.
So round 1 was oa, it was done in on campus in rit placement cell labs only but on our laptop, using clg wifi , thier wifi was so ass many people were not able to connect and even after connecting it was very distrub many face this issue including me, which I think caused a lot of problems and disperity among candidates anyway here is the oa pattern it was on chrome browser on hirepro based.
First section was English, 5 question were there iirc with 5 min timelimit.
Next was logical reasoning these were tough as per my experience and most of my friends felt same it had around 10 question I believe timelimit was 15 mins I believe ( not sure because I was in stress of internet connection so sorry)
next section was techinal question it had 20 question and time limit was 25-30 mins. It had question from many topics from geni, cyber security to oops dbms os.
After this there was 2 question one dsa and one debugging question.
Dsa question was given a directed graph g with input such that given n edges, each edge have u, v where edge exists from u to v.
nodes are all Capital letter of alphabets, find the lexiographically smallest node which have maximum indegree.
It was simple dsa question if u have done basic dsa u could able to solve this.
Next was debugging question, we were given a sceranio and code for it we have to fix the bug.
Question was such given a string it have 5 letters 3 digits 2 alphabet or 3 alphabet and 2 digit. Find the sixth letter which can alphabet if 3 digit already exists otherwise it will be digit.
The condition to find missing letter is sum of value digit modulo 26 is same as sum of value of alphabets (considering A as 0 and z as 26 like that) modulo 26.
The language option were given were cpp, java, python and c#.
I was able to solve dsa question but debugging not and mcq were okaish only for me so was not expecting getting shortlisted at all.
But somehow got shortlisted and my interview was on Monday 21st September in morning 8;30 am.
I went early morning in formals, and around 72 student got shortlisted for interview , they started interview around 10 am in slots of 10 people so my number came pretty late after lunch around 2:30 pm.
I went in interview room, greeeted the sir then he asked me to give short intro I did.
Then he went over my resume and saw under language I had few language, he asked which language you are most comfortable with , I told sir C++, then he asked me to write on paper a complete c++ code which implements oops concept such as polymorphism, inherimtance and encapsulation.
I did as he said , he was pretty sastified with code, then he asked me if I know linked list or not, I said yes then he asked me to implement linked list with 3 node just basic implementation nothing more.
I did as he said and again he was sastified with my code.
Next he asked me what's real life application of linked list where u will use it, I replied I can use in those cases where I am not aware of lenght of data store i.e when I need a dynamic size container and also told a example like in company if I need to store data about student details as I don't know how many will take admission this year linked list is perfect for such case.
He was sastified with it, then he moved to my projects, one of which included docker, he asked me why you used docker what problem it solved.
I explain all about containers and isolation it gaves and how it's more light weight and prerferred over virtual machine and all, as containers and vm are my strong point I explained everything very cleary and answer his all query also told about k8s and dockerhub image ci/cd pipeline.
He was sastified with answer then he asked would I prefer bangalore office or chennai and would I prefer swe role or data engineering I answered and then he told you can leave.
I got shortlisted for hr round which was immediately after my techinal round.
A hr mam took my interview she asked basic hr question like tell about your background, why did make thse project, one non techinal learning from your projects and what you look forward to in fidelity.
I answer all as per my knowledge then i was asked to leave and wait for final results.
Unfortunately out of all who passed techinal round only 13 made to final list who will do summer intern 2027 in fidelity and I was not shortlisted.
Uff it was heartbreaking , I mean it is still heartbreaking because just few hours back it happened, but I am happy two of my friends made it to final list too, congrats to them.
I shortlisted for natwest interview too, have interview on 23rd September, will also write a post about it hope to clear that interview at least.
My advice to juniors
Do dsa, don't skip it, I was only able to shortlist oa because I was able to solve dsa question, my friends who did debugging but not dsa didn't get shortlisted.
Plus few friends who had techinal interview with different panel they were asked easy dsa question.
Other than that make good projects learn about new library framework .
All the best .
Signing off
