Software Engineer 2 Interview Questions

In LLD round I was asked to design school management system. I listed down multiple services like course scheduling, events (exams, parent-teachers meet, co-curricular activities, accounts). After this the question was changed (we were already 20 min in the round). Interviewer asked me if I know how e-mail systems works (like Gmail), tbh I didn't and neither was I prepared for it, so I answered that I don't have much idea about it just know that they use SMTP protocol. Of course round went bad 'cause I wasn't prepared and I got rejected.

HR went through every single resume line and for each company kept on asking why I left and what exactly happened and didn't move on. In addition, HR person was so dismissive it was almost pathetic how he tried to make me feel bad for some reason.
