Technical Interview

There were 4 rounds of interviews...
the details are as follows
Interview 1 - This interview was basically DS based interview and certains conecpts of networking were touched. I
told them that i am interested in data structures and cryptography so most of the questions came from those areas
only.
Interview 2 - Was again technical. The interviewer asked me on Data Structures and a Dynamic Programming
problem and some other puzzles to solve.
Interview 3 - This was technical but they evaluated the design skills. Asked me on ER diagrams, class diagrams and
database design and system design and some basic questions from OS.
Interview 4 - This was also a technical interview mainly on problem solving and DS design (how would you design a
DS to handle this situation and so on).
