The technical face-to-face interview round is the most crucial in the entire interview process. You should be well-versed in computer science fundamentals such as OOPS, DBMS, CN, OS and be able to communicate them clearly to the interviewer.
Programming language knowledge is required. Make sure you're familiar with at least one programming language. It is not necessary for you to be fluent in all programming languages, but you should have sufficient experience with at least one of them, such as C++, Java, or Python.
