I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Arcesium (Jodhpur, Rajasthan)
Interview
Interview lasted for around 30 minutes they asked two 2 DSA question that were easy and I solved them confidently after that they said you are not eligible for this company.
The process starts with an OA having aptitude test and coding questions.
Then the shortlisted candidates passees through various interview rounds . Each round is eliminatory. At last two or one candidates gets the offer.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Arcesium (Bengaluru) in Sep 2024
Interview
Of course! Here’s an expanded version of what you wrote:

**Interview Experience Overview:**
- **Technical Rounds (3 Rounds)**:
I went through **three rounds of Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA)** interviews, where I was **heavily grilled on fundamental concepts** and my **project work**.
Each round tested my understanding and application of core DSA topics, and the interviewers asked me to explain my thought process clearly while solving problems.
Key topics that were covered included:
- **Dynamic Programming**: I was asked both theoretical questions (like explaining when to prefer DP over recursion) and to solve problems involving memoization and tabulation.
- **Greedy Approach**: I solved problems where I had to decide if a greedy strategy would yield an optimal solution, and justify why.
- **Breadth-First Search (BFS)**: They tested my understanding through standard BFS problems as well as some variations, such as finding the shortest path in unweighted graphs.
- **Binary Search**: I was asked to implement standard binary search and solve problems involving its application on rotated sorted arrays and finding boundaries.
- **Topological Sort**: Questions involved both explaining the algorithm (using DFS and Kahn’s algorithm) and applying it to solve real-world dependency problems.
Apart from coding, **deep discussions about my projects** were conducted — including the challenges faced, technical decisions made, scalability considerations, and any optimization techniques I applied.
- **HR Round (1 Round)**:
The HR round was focused on understanding my **background, motivation, career goals**, and **cultural fit** for the organization.
Some of the areas covered included:
- Why I want to join the company
- Strengths and areas of improvement
- How I handle teamwork and conflict
- Questions around adaptability, leadership, and future aspirations
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A new alien language uses the English alphabet, but the order of letters is unknown. You are given a list of words[] from the alien language’s dictionary, where the words are claimed to be sorted lexicographically according to the language’s rules.
Your task is to determine the correct order of letters in this alien language based on the given words. If the order is valid, return a string containing the unique letters in lexicographically increasing order as per the new language's rules. If there are multiple valid orders, return any one of them.
However, if the given arrangement of words is inconsistent with any possible letter ordering, return an empty string ("").
