What students reported
Section titled “What students reported”- Four rounds is the usual shape: an online test, two technical interviews, then HR. The screener has been reported on HackerEarth with 3 problems (one matrix traversal, one Trie-based word matching that candidates rated hard, one optimisation problem), and in other drives as a ~60-minute mix of DSA, SQL, and API-design questions. Partial solves with multiple submissions still cleared the round in at least one report.
- Technical 1 is a single problem taken slowly. One candidate describes spending 30-40 minutes on one medium array-subsequence problem, with the interviewer asking for a dry run, then execution in an IDE, then corner-case verification. Rushing to a submitted answer is not what they are scoring.
- Technical 2 is with an engineering manager and leans breadth over algorithms. Reported topics: why MongoDB, SQL vs NoSQL, ACID properties, HTTP status codes, multithreading in Node.js, OS basics, merge sort vs quicksort, plus a logic puzzle. Project and hands-on frontend/backend experience carry this round more than DSA does.
- The bar described is fundamentals, not exotica. One selected candidate summarised the requirement as decent DS/Algo with no advanced topics needed, plus solid OS/DBMS/networking and real understanding of your own project. Prep advice in circulating posts points at common patterns (sliding window, two pointers, LRU), SQL joins and aggregations, and auth/JWT basics.

Section titled “HR interview”After technical rounds, BigBasket usually closes with a short HR / hiring-manager conversation: motivation, location, notice period, and a couple of behavioural stories. Prepare those answers on the dedicated page rather than cramming them into this hub.
