Deutsche Bank held an on-campus recruitment drive in my college for the position of Analyst intern (2 months) in August 2021. There were overall 4 online rounds conducted: Online Coding Test Technical Round 1 Technical Round 2 HR Round Round 1(Online Coding Test - 120 mins): Eligibility Criteria : CPI>=7.0, 10th >= 70%, 12th >= 70% There was a total of 12 qustions. 1-10 were MCQ based on DSA, Java, SQL, C++ and 2 coding question Coding Questions asked were: Given two array A and F of given length N, Ai represents length of the ith stick and Fi represents the quantity of ith stick present. Every stick can be used as length or breadth but only once. Construct rectangles using these sticks and find the maximum sum of all the perimeters of rectangles (Medium Greedy, Maths) Given a number and an array of numbers. Find the difference between two numbers from array closest to given number. (Medium Sorting, Two pointers) 7 selected for
next round Round 2(Technical interview Round - 1 60 mins): This round was held on Skype. Tell me about yourself. Question on DSA: What is stack and its application. What is queue and its application. Difference between stack and queue. What is Tree and its application. What is graph and its application. What is linkedlist and its application and difference between linkedlist and array. Asked a coding question, given a linked list and integer k, I have to delete all node whose value equal to k write a program. Then Difference between SQL and MongoDB Discussion on Project 4 students were selected for the
next round. Round 3(Technical interview Round - 2 50 mins): This round held on Skype. Interviewer asked me to tell what i have done in 1st and 2nd year. what is OOPs? What is Class and Object? what is abstraction? with example. what is encapsulation? with example. Polymorphism and its types? Difference between function overriding and function overloading? in function overriding if return type is different but no of parameter and type of parameter are same. then is it possible or not? Inheritance and Virtual Function? what is static? constructor and destructor Discussion on the project what is bootstrap? what is server? MongoDB, node js. Any questions you would like to ask? 3 students were selected for
next round and in HR round all of them were selected. Overall, It was nice experience. I am not selected for the HR round.

About Deutsche Bank Interview Reports
This question was reported by a candidate who interviewed at Deutsche Bank. LeakCode aggregates interview reports from 10+ sources, including 1Point3Acres, Glassdoor, LeetCode Discuss, Blind, Reddit, Indeed, and Nowcoder. Each report is translated where necessary, deduplicated against existing entries, and tagged by company, role, round type, and reporting date.
Use this question as one calibration data point, not a memorization target. Companies typically rotate their question pools every 2-4 months; the exact wording of a 2024 question may differ from what you encounter today. The underlying pattern, difficulty level, and follow-up depth at Deutsche Bank are the higher-signal extractions to take from this report.
For broader preparation context, the Deutsche Bank interview process typically includes a recruiter screen, one or two technical phone screens, and a 4-5 round on-site loop covering coding, system design (at L4+ levels), and behavioral. Reports tagged on LeakCode show the round-by-round distribution and typical difficulty calibration. To browse questions filtered by round type and seniority, use the company hub linked above.
How To Practice This Type of Question
Solve similar problems on LeetCode under timed conditions (25-35 minutes per medium difficulty). The goal is pattern recognition: recognize the underlying technique (sliding window, two-pointer, BFS, memoized recursion, etc.) within 60-90 seconds of reading. Strong candidates verbalize their hypothesis out loud before coding, then iterate based on feedback. Weak candidates dive into implementation immediately, lose time on the wrong approach, and run out of time for follow-ups.
Companies update their question pools every 2-4 months. The exact wording of any given question may have been retired by the time you interview. Focus your prep on the pattern, not the specific problem. The patterns that appear in Deutsche Bank reports consistently are the ones worth investing in; one-off niche problems are not.
During Your Deutsche Bank Round
Apply the standard interview round template: clarify requirements (2-3 minutes), state your approach out loud and confirm direction with the interviewer (3-5 minutes), code with narration (15-25 minutes), test with concrete examples including edge cases (5 minutes), discuss optimization or trade-offs if time permits (5 minutes). This template is universally accepted across FAANG and adjacent companies; deviating from it produces weaker interviewer feedback signal.
The single most predictive failure mode in Deutsche Bank reports tagged "no hire": not asking clarifying questions. Interviewers are explicitly trained to weight this. Strong candidates ask 3-5 clarifying questions even on problems that look obvious; weak candidates dive into code immediately. The clarifying-question check is often the first signal recorded in the interviewer's written notes.
