Regarding the interview.
Go through your CV carefully.
Project (final year: even if you have not started at least give the idea).
C language will be definitely asked (even if you didn\'t mention in your CV).
Dbms, data structures.
And you should have basic knowledge of networking, os and some general knowledge of current trends (AI, chatbots).
I was asked, what are chatbots, neural networks.
Just the basic idea, no advance knowledge required.
Note: Be confident, believe in your hard work.
And should have a positive attitude.
Try to give the best in technical round.
If your technical was good then HR will just be some general questions about yourself nothing more.
