Common HR & Behavioural Questions for Freshers

• Tell me about yourself — a short, confident pitch with one relevant strength and example.

Basic Technical Questions Freshers Should Expect

Depending on your field, expect fundamentals: for software roles, OOP concepts, basic data structures, and "explain a project you built"; for data roles, SQL basics and statistics; for business roles, a guesstimate or a "how would you approach this" scenario. You don't need to be an expert — you need to think clearly out loud.
