I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at FICO (Chandigarh) in Mar 2025
Interview
The interview process started with an online test that consisted of two easy-level coding questions based on basic Data Structures and Algorithms.
Candidates who cleared the online round proceeded to the Group Discussion (GD) round, where communication skills, logical thinking, and clarity of expression were evaluated.
Post-GD, shortlisted students had to appear for a pen-and-paper test, which was focused on System Design.
In this round, we were asked to design a management system (for example, a Hospital Management System, Library Management System, etc.), demonstrating our ability to think in terms of system architecture, databases, and scalability.
Finally, students who cleared the pen-and-paper round moved to the Technical Interview.
The technical interview involved questions from:
Core Java (OOPS concepts)
Data Structures and Algorithms
Discussion of the system design from the previous round
Questions related to projects and internships mentioned in the resume.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During the technical interview, they specifically asked me about the Food Management System that I had designed during the pen-and-paper System Design round.
They were particularly interested in knowing how I would utilize algorithms and data structures like Linked Lists, Priority Queues,Trees, and others within that system.
For example, they asked:
How would I use a Linked List for managing a dynamic list of food orders or inventory items that keeps changing frequently (adding/removing food items dynamically)?
I applied through university. I interviewed at FICO (Bengaluru) in Feb 2026
Interview
The interview experience was good. The questions range from DSA to Development to behavioral questions with the difficulty from easy to medium. The interviewers were professional as well as friendly.
La primera entrevista es con el reclutador; después avanzas a la entrevista con el hiring manager. Finalmente, tienes varias entrevistas con miembros del equipo y posteriormente recibes la oferta final.
The interview process had majorly four (but small 6) rounds:
1. shortlisting of resume
2. online test
3. group discussion
4. assignment
5. tech interview
6. HR interview
Assignment was to design a "parantha management system", yup! it had UI, Backend, db designing, like features you would add

Question 1
They asked DSA, real-life problems being asked for graphs
about projects as well
a lot of "describe yourself in one words" types questions, behavioral questions that is
