He asked how I developed interest in web development. Why C++ for programming, not JAVA? Project discussion of my club website. He asked about different features, what was my role, what tech stack we used and how I implemented different features. It was a live project so he was quite impressed and went deep and asked many questions. How many different data structures are there? What are the types of trees? Explain oops with real life examples. When do we use linked lists? He asked about my non technical activites. He asked if I knew about logs forging. He asked if I had some questions for him. I asked him one question : On what kind of projects I will be working on if I get an internship at Mastercard. Will they be a live project? 2nd Technical + HR interview Since it was a long day, he asked if I was tired . He didn’t ask for an intro. He started directly asking questions from my resume. He firstly asked how many questions I was able to solve in the coding round. He asked if I had appeared for JEE and what my score was and how I prepared for JEE. why c++ not java? What is outer join? Why not GRE? What are stored procedures? What is union in SQL (explained him with Venn diagram) He asked about my projects (just intro) . He asked how we integrated razorpay on the website. He asked me to explain 4 pillars of oops with real life examples. He tried to confuse me by saying abstraction and encapsulation are looking the same by listening to your example and I clearly told him the difference between both of them. He had given 3 classes(vehicle and tyre). He asked me which class will inherit which class. (here vehicle class will have a "HAS A " relationship with tyre class. He asked about my future plans and why I don't want to go for higher education (excluding the financial reason). He asked about the difference between mongodb and sql databases. I had won one coding and debugging contest so he asked what I debugged in the code He asked who do we have indentation in python and not in c++. why java is a platform independent language.
