From DSA to system design to HR rounds — everything you need to know to crack interviews at top Indian tech companies.
## The Indian Tech Interview Process
Most tech companies in India follow a 3-5 round interview process:
1. Online Assessment (DSA)
2. Technical Round 1 (DSA + Problem Solving)

4. HR / Culture Fit
## Data Structures & Algorithms
DSA is the most important part. Focus on:
- Arrays and Strings

## System Design
For 3+ years experience, expect system design questions. Study:

## Project Discussion
Be ready to explain your projects in detail:
