Technical interviews can feel daunting, but with the right preparation, you can confidently showcase your skills and land your dream job. This blog dives into 20 frequently asked technical interview questions, providing answers and explanations to help you shine.
Remember, these are examples, and the specific questions you encounter will depend on the role and company.
Arrays are fixed-size data structures that store elements contiguously in memory. Accessing elements is fast using indexing, but insertion and deletion can be slow as elements need to be shifted. Linked lists are dynamic in size and elements are not stored consecutively. They offer faster insertions and deletions but slower random access.
Binary search has a time complexity of O(log n) in the average and best case, and a space complexity of O(1) as it uses a constant amount of extra space.
There are various tools and techniques for debugging memory leaks. You can use built-in debugging tools or libraries to track memory allocation and deallocation.
OOP is a programming paradigm based on objects that encapsulate data (attributes) and behavior (methods). Key principles include inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and abstraction.
GET requests are used to retrieve data from a server, while POST requests are used to send data to the server. GET requests typically append data to the URL, while POST requests send data in the request body.

Caches store frequently accessed data to improve performance. By reducing the need to fetch data from the original source, caches can significantly speed up application response times.
Database normalization is the process of organizing data to minimize redundancy and improve data integrity. It involves structuring tables to reduce the repetition of groups of related data.
Error handling is crucial for robust applications. You can use try-except blocks to catch and handle exceptions gracefully, preventing program crashes and providing informative error messages.
A compiler translates entire programs from a high-level language into machine code before execution. An interpreter executes code line by line, translating each line on the fly.
A join operation combines data from two or more tables based on a shared column. This allows you to retrieve related data from different tables in a single query.
Recursion is a programming technique where a function calls itself within its definition. It's useful for solving problems that can be broken down into smaller subproblems of the same type. However, it's crucial to have a base case to prevent infinite loops.
Agile is an iterative software development approach that emphasizes flexibility and adaptation. Advantages include faster feedback loops, improved customer focus, and better risk management. Disadvantages can be increased planning overhead and potential for scope creep.
This is a behavioral question. Discuss a specific situation where you encountered a technical problem. Explain the steps you took to diagnose the issue, isolate the root cause, and implement a solution. Highlight your problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities.
Demonstrate your commitment to continuous learning. Mention resources like online courses, technical blogs, conferences, and online communities you use to stay informed.
Authentication verifies a user's identity (who they are), while authorization determines what actions they are allowed to perform (what they can do).
Unit testing involves testing individual software units (functions or modules) to ensure they function as expected. It helps catch bugs early in the development process, leading to higher quality software.
Big Data refers to massive datasets that are too large and complex for traditional data processing methods. Big Data tools and frameworks are designed to handle the volume, variety, and velocity of this data.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented protocol that guarantees reliable data delivery with error checking and retransmission. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol that prioritizes speed over reliability, making it suitable for real-time applications where occasional data loss is acceptable.
Scalability refers to a system's ability to handle increasing load. Discuss factors like modular design, load balancing, and using distributed databases to ensure your system can grow efficiently.
Always have questions prepared for the interviewer. This demonstrates your interest in the role and company. Ask thoughtful questions about the team, the technology stack, or the specific challenges you'd be tackling.
If you're unsure of an answer, it's okay to admit it. However, try to walk the interviewer through your thought process and problem-solving approach. Interviewers appreciate candidates who can think critically and explain their reasoning, even if the final answer is incorrect.
Acknowledge that the question is outside your core expertise, but demonstrate your willingness to learn. Offer to share how you would approach finding a solution, or relate it to a similar problem you’ve solved in your field.
Explaining your thought process is crucial, as it shows the interviewer how you approach problems. Even if your solution isn’t perfect, your reasoning skills and ability to communicate complex ideas are often more important than the exact answer.
Yes, non-technical skills such as communication, problem-solving, adaptability, and teamwork are often assessed alongside technical knowledge. Many interviewers look for well-rounded candidates who can work well in teams and communicate effectively.
If you make a mistake, acknowledge it quickly and correct it. Staying calm under pressure and demonstrating how you adapt to challenges shows resilience and a growth mindset, which are qualities that interviewers value highly.

I recently concluded my PSM 1 training from Agilemania with Piyush being the instructor. I have had multiple trainings before but this one was very different - Good different. For many reasons : 1. Piyush’s content delivery was by far the best I have seen. This tells he has done this many times or to be short, is an expert at this. 2. Unique way to present. I won’t break the surprise but there were no slides or ppt's during the training. And yet, it was so engaging, I felt as active throughout as at the start. This also gave me inspiration to do something different when it comes to your presentation. 3. Different types of activities in breakout rooms. This gave me the opportunity to interact with fellow trainees like myself who were there to learn. You got to try out those. P.S. - there will be always a catch. 4. Full of real life examples. Piyush gave real life examples from his experience that helped me to understand the concepts better. 5. Lastly, there were optimum breaks in 2 days that helped me to remain focused throughout. When I was choosing the trainer for PSM 1 from Scrum.org, I read a lot of reviews for many trainers. I chose Agilemania after careful evaluation. I was right. Hope this honest review helps others in line.
I have taken the session with AgileMania for PSM-1 Certification and my trainer was Piyush Rahate. Piyush's sessions are very interactive and engaging. Highly recommended!
Preeth Pandalay is an excellent trainer! He makes learning concepts easy to understand and applies them with real-world examples. His sessions are engaging and interactive. With his guidance, I successfully passed the PSM assessment on my first attempt. Thank you :)
I attended the virtual PSPO-I course offered by Agilemania, led by Sumeet Madan. The course was excellent and provided valuable insights that helped me successfully pass the exam. Additionally, the provided study materials were comprehensive and highly useful.
Sumeet was an excellent instructor. His knowledge on Scrum is excellent and he made the session interesting with his Funny but relevant examples. He also went beyond to explain how ChatGPT can be used as a tool to assist a product owner.
