For 3rd Technical round - It was all about architecture of an application. I was asked about the architecture of my current project and then ways to improve some tasks based on my input. But for some reason, I think there was a communication gap. Because the interviewer was constantly asking how will my Java class look like, I asked her, do I need to write the code. She denied, she wanted me to explain in words but then she said improvise it. I said this is the best I know. At end, after interview was over I asked her for view of improvising it. So she said, write it in your free time and you'll notice. I said at least give me a hint so that I can move in that direction. But she kept on repeating the same statement.
