Pergunta 1
most of the aptitude questions were based on basic c, probability, electronics etc. we expected questions related to networks but as the job profile was different, we had no questions related to networks. So aptitude round also depends on the job profile.
some ec related questions were about- wire guage, half and full wave rectifier
programming- find the output and find the error
probability- ant and triangle problem, probability of picking number from 1-100 in which number remains same even after changing units place and tens palce
venn diagram problem to find the percentage of people who read only advertisement out of two types of newspaper

Standard panel, very simple leetcodes. reverse linked list kind of vibe s . I was literarly asked about how a linked list is structured and reversing it. there was almost no friction which I was shocked by one of the reason I did not accept
Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Cisco (Bengaluru) em jun. de 2026
Entrevista
The interview started well and covered backend concepts, Java, system design, and coding. I answered the questions confidently and had a positive interaction throughout.
After receiving the rejection, I spoke with HR to understand the feedback. I was informed that the interviewer believed I was looking at answers during the interview. This came as a surprise because I was not referring to any external material. I have a habit of looking away while thinking or recalling concepts, which I believe may have been misunderstood.
I wish this concern had been raised during the interview so I could have clarified it immediately. If there are concerns about a candidate’s behavior, discussing them in real time or asking for a room scan can help avoid misunderstandings.
Overall, the interview questions were fair, but I feel my evaluation was influenced by this misunderstanding rather than my technical performance.
