Internshala Interview Questions & Experiences

Internshala·Software Engineer·Onsite - Multi Round

Jun 2026

Four rounds deep into an SDE intern process at Internshala, including an in-office VP session, only to get a generic 'skills mismatch' rejection that pretty clearly had nothing to do with skills. The whole thing fell apart in the HR round over exam leave logistics, and the automated rejection email afterwards felt like a slap after all that effort.

Walk me through your resume projects and explain the web technologies you used.
Build a basic Todo app live and explain how event handling works in your implementation.
Convert existing components into React-based logic during a live session.
Design the complete architecture for a real-time chat application, explained on a whiteboard or notepad.
Solve complex algorithmic puzzles and DSA problems in a 1.5-hour session with the VP of Engineering.

“First round, first ever formal interview.”

Internshala·Software Engineer·Onsite - Multi Round

Jun 2026

Four rounds deep into an SDE Intern process at Internshala, including a 1.5-hour in-office VP round and a live system design exercise, only to get a boilerplate rejection email right after the HR rep had started floating the idea of a full-time offer. The technical bar was cleared at every step; the sticking point was apparently exam leave logistics, though the rejection template blamed 'skills and experience.'

Walk us through your resume projects in detail, covering the technical decisions you made and why.
Build a basic Todo app live, then explain the event handling model behind it.
Design the full architecture for a real-time chat application, explained on a notepad without any tooling.
Solve a series of complex logic puzzles and DSA problems in front of the VP of Engineering.
How will you handle your final semester exams given the internship schedule and location?

“First interview ever, so I was nervous but had genuinely built stuff worth talking about.”
