Some questions were unexpected, especially when a junior team member, tried to be too cute and asked about "why xyz was not done in your research work" when it certainly had been out of scope for my research focus. Tried to grill me on that for far too long , almost in a provocative style. Such characters, i dont know why, are just out there to take pleasure in ruining. I had about 12-14 people talking to me over the two days, and this one member was totally mean.
They asked about me to briefly introduce myself and selected project details. They asked if I have independent research experiences and what kind of experimental skills I had.
They provide code snippet from Polymorphism and asked to provide the correct output. They also asked me to describe my thesis topic in details and explain the algorithm I have applied.
