Had two interviewers. Had basic questions on software engineering, test cases and basic sql.
They went through all the items on my resume. Asked me to explain what was my role in the database project.
Then other interviewer simultaneously started asking about my role as leader in the unviersity level events. Had to manage them and answer thier queries. It was a good interview for a campus recruitment drive
