Yup I got It
But since it’s about interview round
My interview was only about 3 questions almost
And we didn’t have any rounds.
1) Tell me about yourself (some personal questions like about my family, friends).
2) Explain about your Project and some project related questions(like what is IoT, etc…)
3) Gave a situation: if two of my teammates are not willing to do the assigned work then what will u do?
4) Asked about some of the events which I organized.
5) Faced any difficulty while working on the project and also while working in teams (two separate questions).
That’s it…. Basically, it was just an hour round and he mostly focused
on my team skills and leadership skills…..

Coding round :
There was only one question that had to be solved in 30 minutes.

For each game, there is a tutorial.

What are your strengths and weaknesses
Why do you think you are fit for this role

I would like to suggest that even if you do not know the answer just say that you will try to learn about it.
Ask questions at the end of the interview. This will show your interest to join the company. I mostly asked questions about what kind of training would be given to new joinees and what kind of work I would be assigned if I’m selected.

All the best.
