This company had visited our college JNTU Hyderabad. There were 3 rounds totally. Round 1 (1 hour): This was an offline written test in which the topics covered were mostly on Quantitative Aptitude Multiple choice questions in C , C++ Coding questions in c++ SQL Java . There were a total of 20 questions and to be solved in one hour.
Round 2 Technical Interview It was F2F Interview. It was done approximately for 30 minutes and he asked some logical questions to test my IQ levels and he asked some coding in java. Their requirement is java developers. He asked me about the projects and internships that i had placed in my resume.
Round 3 HR Round There was nothing much asked in this round. Some of them were re-interviewed and were sent for HR round. They asked me why i was interested and what did i expect from the company. And out of 300, 10 members were selected and I was one of them. It was a nice experience.

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