Resume Shortlisting / Application Screening
What happens:
Recruiters screen resumes to check:
Academic background (CGPA, university, branch).
Projects, coding profiles (LeetCode, GitHub, Codeforces, etc.).
Skills (languages, frameworks).
Tips:
Highlight strong projects, hackathons, or open-source contributions.
Include online coding profiles or portfolio links.
💻 2️⃣ Online Coding Test (OA)
What is it:
Typically 1–3 coding questions in an online assessment platform (e.g., HackerRank, Codility, CodeSignal).
Duration:
60–90 minutes.
Topics tested:
Arrays, strings (e.g., Two Sum, sliding window).
Basic data structures (stack, queue, linked list).
Sorting & searching.
Simple dynamic programming (knapsack, subsequence).
Basic math or bit manipulation.
Tips:
Practice timed contests on LeetCode or Codeforces.
Be strong at debugging under time pressure.
