In the interview, one of the main things they asked me was to explain a project I had worked on in detail. They wanted to know how I approached the problem, what technologies I used, and how I handled errors or challenges during development. They were mainly checking my understanding of the logic behind the project and whether I could clearly explain my thought process.

They asked me to write an algorythm on a whiteboard to solve the coin change problem (use the least coins possible to pay) and i had to walk with them through my code and work out the different ways it could have been done. I also got UML diagrams on paper and i had to briefly tell them what the diagram was about, and there were some basic questions on databases as well.
