Software Engineer interview at ADCI - Karnataka: DSA and AI-assisted coding

There were four stages in total, but I did not clear the first. It contained two questions: a DSA problem and an AI-assisted, repository-based coding task. I produced a solution for the DSA question but struggled with edge cases, then ran out of time before I could debug and iterate properly.

The second task differed from a standalone LeetCode question because it used a codebase and a limited assistant. Even with that support, I could not close the gap quickly enough, and the DSA edge cases became the bottleneck.

The process ended for me after that first stage. Understanding the prompt was not the hard part. Correctness details and limited time were, especially while working inside a repository.
