Newgen Software is a Java Oriented Company so you should have a basic-intermediate level of Java Concepts and must have a good clearance in OOPS concepts with ready-to-tell examples in your mind when the interviewer asks, again saying take OOPS concepts and its examples seriously other than this an easy-medium level of DSA is asked generally standard questions. We got Pre-placement talk on 12th June 2023 (Virtual Mode) First Round: 13th June 2023 (Online) (Shortlisted students: 92 for this round) Aptitude Questions (Logical, English, Technical) On HirePro Easy to medium questions were there in the online test. 30 Questions Each Section Second Round: 15th June, 2023 (Online) (Shortlisted students: 38 for this round) Psychometric Test (Behavioral Test) In this test company just wants to know whether the person fits their criteria or not. {Tips: Be Honest and complete it. } (The next 3,4,5 rounds happened on company premises on the same day) Third Round: 26th June, 2023 (Company premises) We came to know that this was a pool drive so a total of around 120+ students were there from different universities. (Shortlisted students: 35(my campus) for this round) Hackathon of 3 Hours, we have to make a project (Language: Java/C++/Python). Implement Deposit, Check Balance, Withdraw functionalities (basically a bank management system). Also needed to add Constraints like Daily Transactions limit, transaction withdrawing can't be more than 80% of that month on 1st of the month, deposit amount of that day can’t be 10 times more than the initial deposit amount, check balance limit(e.g.: 5times/per day). All these operations needed to be executed by reading a .csv file. Fourth Round: (Technical Round-1) (Total Pool: 27) (Shortlisted students: around 8(my campus) for this round) It was a technical round where this hackathon assessment was discusses on Laptop. Company is Java Oriented Question like Abstract class, OOPS, Interfaces, etc. were asked. Variety of standard Data Structures Questions like reverse a string, finding duplicates in string, inorder-traversal from Trees, BFS/DFS from Graphs, merge Sort Algo Discussion. Java Preparation Guide (click on every link and finish it)- click (For around 15 students there was Technical Round-2 as well so prepare well.) Interview went really well and I got call for HR round Immediately. (Point: Although it is a Java focused role but you might able to code in your preferred language, just ask for it to interviewer don't be shy here) Fifth Round: It was a HR round, typical HR round questions were asked like Introduction Hobbies Ready to reallocate Any current offer letters, etc. Results: 28th June, 2023 (Final Shortlisted Pool: 13) (Final Shortlisted students: 1(from my campus) & that was me (felt delighted.) Stay Calm & be Positive in Interview BEST OF LUCK

About Newgen Interview Reports
This question was reported by a candidate who interviewed at Newgen. 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 Newgen are the higher-signal extractions to take from this report.
For broader preparation context, the Newgen 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 Newgen reports consistently are the ones worth investing in; one-off niche problems are not.
During Your Newgen 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 Newgen 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.
