I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Oracle (Surathakal) in Aug 2024
Interview
Online Assessment Round(1.5 hours) : 1 DSA question , 30 MCQs (10 CS fundamentals, 10 Aptitude and 10 Verbal Questions). After 2-3 days we got shortlisted students list in which 40 people were shortlisted for Applications Development and another 40 for Server Tech role.
Then we had our interview day. Oracle interviews were offline and in campus. The day was pretty hectic and since there were many students shortlisted the overall procedure took a very long time.
I had three rounds of interviews, the 1st was at 10am, 2nd was at 5pm and 3rd was at 7pm. So it was a very tiring day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Round 1 (40-45 minutes): This was mainly a resume based round. The interviewer grilled me on my resume (1 project in particular) and asked a little bit about my experience in IRIS. He also asked me my favourite pillar in OOPS and asked to explain in brief. Then he asked a simple DSA question verbally about how you can quickly find the top 5 stock prices when a continuous stream of stocks come into your system (using a simple priority queue is good enough).
Round 2 (30 minutes): In this round the interview handed me a piece of papaer and asked around 5 DSA questions. The questions weren't very complicated. Some questions were reverse a linked list, find middle element of a linked list, one question that could be solved using heap, and two tree based questions one of which was finding vertical view of a tree.
Round 3 (20 mins): This was again just a resume based round.
