interviewer. As we cannot predict the actual questions it is always better to

prepare for all aspects.

programming languages and latest technologies that you have mentioned in your

resume. Some branch specific core subjects’ questions might be asked.

on interviewer panel. For some students TR, HR , MR can be combined in one

interview, for some students it can be separate interview.
