Deutsche Bank is a Global Investment Bank. The role which they offer is Graduate Analyst with offices at Pune and Bangalore .The CTC offered was 19.6 lpa 

 

Aptitude Round :

There were 3 Coding Questions :

2 Medium level of difficulty 

1 Hard level of difficulty

Time provided was 1.5 hrs

 

Interview Round 1 :

I did see his LinkedIn profile before Interview and got to know he had knowledge and experience of databases so I had cleared that he would take it deep into database.

He started it off with the first question of OS (maybe it was the same question which love babbar has in his OS notes).

Then he asked few more questions on OS (easy to medium level),

I think the OS playlist of Gate Smasher or Love babbar is enough (atleast for this interview)

then he asked about DBMS (ACID , transaction, 2nf

then asked few queries (find highest salary among the table with 3 different methods and nth highest salary, also asked how to join given two tables with some conditions) he also gave me some code snippets and asked me about their output 

Asked about OOPs and their importance 

then he moved towards DSA. 

Started with why do we need DSA?

Then adv of Linked list over Array , then many more questions followed up 

He asked how would you reverse a string (approach only )

Asked about searching methods and which is more efficient

Then there was discussion about projects

 

Interview Round 2 :

In the previous interview I was pretty good at answering questions of os dbms and project but I did fumble at dsa and also didn't answer a few questions thats where they thought that they need to test my dsa 

The Interviewer at the start itself said see I'm gonna ask you 15-20 questions and I have list of all these questions, then he read out all those questions, 

I had answers for nearly 60% of those and not for remaining ones 

 

So It started and questions were easy to medium level 

I was pretty nervous , was fumbling at nearly all questions so I asked for 2 mins of time so I calmed down myself 

He was giving me code snippets of data structures and asking me their outputs , in the whole interview he asked about 12-15 code snippets

Then he asked a few difficult questions (I'm unable to remember those)

Then he asked with programming how can u find a file in the computer

This interview was a bit of roller coaster one coz few of questions I was very good and not in a few, 

then he asked me a question to give approach using hash maps and I was unable to answer it then I asked him to give me some time to think then I gave him a approach using linked list and I kind of won him with that answer 

Then there were few more questions 

he asked me to code for few linked list questions 

I don't really remember if he asked about project 

This was a pretty difficult interview 

 

Interview Round 3 (Professional Fit Round ) :

This Round was non technical 

They asked about my family background , my hobbies and achievements 

Then asked about my weakness (I said currently I dont have any , I have worked upon my weaknesses ).  Then he asked me about finance (as I had mentioned it in the interview)

Then he went on to ask questions about hobbies and strengths 

Then he asked about my projects then asked about difficulties which I faced in my project and how did I tackle them

He gave me scenarios and asked how would I behave 

He was a pretty chill guy!

You can easily clear this round with good communication and confidence

 

Interview Round 4 (HR Round) :

General HR questions 

Why deutsche bank ? (prepare this answer prior to interview)

asked about my family background

 

Tips :

See guys you are students you aren't expected to know too much , its fine if you dont know many concepts , all they want is a confident grad willing to learn newer tech 

Don't be underconfident or overconfident 

the above questions are not all which they asked me, I don't remember all (so don't just prepare only these questions for interview )

Do prepare for HR interview 

Do prepare for standard project questions beforehand

I prepared for interviews like I thought that I have to win these interviewer so I did read a book ‘How to win friends and influence people’ before interview and did apply its concepts on interviewer.

This technique came pretty handy in profit round

Always Smile in a interview (smile in the sense that doesn't feel over)

Smile if you answer a question , smile even if you don't answer

Make sure you take control of little things so eventually you turn out result in your favour.

 

ALL THE BEST !!!!
