Learn how to clear the technical interview round.

An interview for any job in the IT sector will almost always entail a technical interview round. For jobs in other sectors such as Healthcare (medical professionals such as doctors, nurses), law (lawyers, paralegals,) aviation (pilots), a technical round is not usually the norm in the interview process for the simple reason that candidates in these sectors will have proved their credentials by passing a government recognized test or getting a professional certification. It isn’t as if these don’t get asked questions on their technical knowledge. It’s just that there’s no specialized interview round for it. Such questions get asked directly in the face-to-face interview.

The IT (Information Technology) sector is a very vast and ever-expanding field that comprises numerous fields like coding, digital technologies, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, robotics, web architecture, etc. A standardized test is simply not possible because the technologies involved keep evolving at a break-neck speed. Also, some candidates lie about their skillsets in their resumes. Hence, a technical round in the interview process becomes super important to the vetting process. 

As a general rule of thumb, all major IT giants like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Cognizant, Capgemini, HCL, etc. conduct technical rounds in their interview process. With the Startup boom gaining traction in India, there are a lot of tech jobs in startups (such as Swiggy, Ola, Uber, MakeMyTrip, Grofers, etc.). These companies too will conduct technical interview rounds for their technology jobs. The same rule applies to e-commerce companies like Amazon, Flipkart, etc.
