A short but crisp CAP interview of a CS Engineer
16/2/2024, CAP, Zoom interview
My interview was pretty short. It went for 5 mins.
After waiting for 2 hours interviewer let me in. To my suprise only one interviewer asked me questions.
(Questions from female aged between 30–35)—F
F1 : introduce yourself
F2 : which engineering background are you from
Me : Told computer science and engineering
F3 : What is your favourite subject
Me : told DBMS & java
As I was working in those technologies.
F4 : difference between java and python
Me :
java - old language mostly this is the language used in industry
Python - new language
Java - it is difficult to learn
Python - it is easy to learn
It is said that even school kids can learn this if they didn't have any basics.
(She is not satisfied with my answer and I understood that but I couldn't able to recall any
differences..later I realised that I could have told her abt python libraries and frameworks can be used to build machine learning and deep learning models)
F5 : where are you right now ( I told hyderabad )
F6 : monuments in hyderabad
Me : I told charminar, thousand pillar temple, Golconda fort, birla mandir
F7 : why charminar is called as charminar
Me : according to hindi word char means 4 .As charminar is having 4 minar, it is charminar( wild guess )

Me : 19 months workex
F10 : what are your roles and responsibilities
