OA Details:

Total Questions: 2
Time: 60 minutes
Platform: HackerRank (Video Proctored)

Q1: Graph / DSU Based (Medium)

Standard Disjoint Set Union (Union-Find) problem
Concepts used:
Path Compression
Union by Rank / Size

HashMap
Priority Queue (Heap)
LazyRemoval required

Key Observations:

Questions were not very hard, but test cases were strong
Brute force would pass initial cases but fail hidden ones
and have a lots of edge case also
Optimization was necessary
Time management was the biggest factor

After OA:

AI-based interview round (behavioral / HR-type questions) not any single technical question
