My interviewer was a very polite person. He started by telling me to introduce myself. I covered all the topics in my introduction about which I wanted to have a discussion. I mentioned all the internships, hackathons, and projects about which I was confident to answer.
After the introduction, he asked me about my internship and the technologies that I have used. I explained my experience in every detail, giving insight about each tech stack, why it is used and how did I use it. I explained all the technical stuff in my internship in about 10-12 mins.
Next, he asked me about the technology I was confident in. In addition to mentioning the tech-stacks, I said that I am good at java. He repeated that by asking so you are good at Java but did not ask any questions.
