Hi, I took the **Amazon Internship Assessment today** and wanted to share the overall process and exam structure because it may help others who are preparing for it.

The assessment had **multiple sections**, and each section tested a different area.

### 1. Coding + Backend Development – 100 minutes

The first part had **two sections**:

**Section 1 – Coding Question ⏱️ 45 minutes**

* One coding problem
* Time limit: **45 minutes**
* You need to solve and test your solution within the given time.

**Section 2 – Backend Service ⏱️ 55 minutes**

This section was more practical.

You are given a **repository/codebase** and asked to work on it based on the requirements.

The backend technology can be something like:

* Spring Boot
* Django
* or another backend framework

You choose the technology/framework based on what you are comfortable with, and then work on the provided repository.

The main challenge for me was managing the time between **understanding the existing code, making the required changes, running the project, and testing the test cases**.

I had some issues while working on this section, and by the time I fixed them and tried to test everything, the time was almost over.

So, one thing I would definitely recommend is:

**Don't spend too much time trying to make everything perfect. Get the basic implementation working first, then test and improve if you have time.**

The total time for these two sections was **100 minutes**.

### 2. Behavioural Assessment

After the technical part, there was a **behavioural section**.

The questions were mainly scenario-based.

For example, you may be given a situation involving:

* Your manager/senior
* A teammate
* A disagreement
* A work-related problem
* How you would respond in a particular situation

You may have to choose which response would be **most effective** and which would be **least effective/ineffective**.

I would recommend understanding Amazon's workplace/leadership expectations before taking this section rather than randomly choosing answers.

### 3. Work & Interests

The final part focused more on **your work experience/interests and professional preferences**.

It gives them an idea about what kind of work you are interested in and how your interests align with different types of roles.

## Overall Experience

For me, the **backend repository section was the most challenging part**, mainly because of the limited time.

The important thing is to be comfortable with:

* Reading an existing codebase quickly
* Understanding requirements
* Making changes without breaking existing functionality
* Running the application
* Testing your implementation
* Debugging quickly

If you're preparing for this assessment, I would definitely recommend practicing **real backend tasks on an existing repository**, not just solving coding problems.

Hope this helps anyone who has an upcoming Amazon Internship Assessment. Good luck! 🚀

If anyone else has taken the assessment recently, feel free to share your experience too. It would be helpful for future candidates.
