ADCI - Karnataka Software Engineer Interview Experience: first-round DSA gate

My process had three rounds, and getting past the first one depended on solving both DSA questions. The second round had no clear right answer. They wanted to see whether I could follow the prompt and explain my reasoning. The third round was managerial.

That structure made the stakes clear from the beginning. I could not treat the first round as a warm-up. The manager round shifted toward leadership-style problems and collaboration, but comprehension and communication still mattered. I did not get an offer. The hardest part was the pressure to solve both DSA questions before I could move on, which made pacing and correctness matter immediately.

Location: Bengaluru. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
