The process was a bit long which has 1 aptitude round, 2 coding round, 1 hackathon round, 3 technical interviews and HR interview. Which makes the whole hiring process a long process.
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at JUSPAY (Bengaluru) in Dec 2025
Interview
I recently participated in the Juspay Hiring Challenge and went through multiple stages. Overall, the process was rigorous, well-structured, and focused heavily on problem-solving ability and consistency.
Round 1 – MCQ (DSA + CS Fundamentals)
Questions covered time complexity, OS, DBMS, and core CS concepts.
Round 2 – MCQ (DSA + Numericals)
Conceptual DSA questions combined with logical/physics-style numericals.
Round 3 – Coding Round
3 coding questions, mostly based on two-pointers and sliding-window patterns.
Round 4 – Hackathon (Part A – 3 hours)
One problem based on a locking/unlocking tree. Required structural thinking and handling tricky edge cases.
Round 5 – Coding Round
2 problems — one Dynamic Programming, one Greedy.
Round 6 – Elimination Interview
One coding question plus discussion on projects, approach, and thought process.
Round 7 – Hackathon (Part B – 8 hours)
Continuation of Part A with multithreading. Full-day challenge focused on concurrency and correctness.
Although I wasn’t selected in the end, I found the experience very rewarding. It tested not only technical knowledge, but also patience, debugging skills, and mindset.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to design a locking/unlocking tree and explain how I would handle edge cases and concurrency issues while multiple users interact with the tree at the same time
the interview was very good, and there was this 3 coding questions for our campus placement round and where we had different levels of difficulty, so that each question is tougher than the other,
