Hi! I recently attended the ZOHO off-campus drive , and I’m sharing my detailed experience below.

Round 1 Aptitude and Technical Interview 1 Aptitude (1 hr 20 mins – 20 Questions) Covered topics like averages, probability, time & distance, alligation & mixture, ratios, HCF & LCM, and a few logic puzzles. Technical (45 mins – 10 Questions) These were mainly C output-based questions. Practising from geekquiz.com and GeeksforGeeks was very helpful. Topics included: Pointers Strings Matrices Nearly 60 candidates were selected out of about 600. They didn’t just take the top 60 scores—there was a cut-off, and whoever cleared it moved on.

Round 2 Coding Round 1 Questions They Asked: Run-Length String Expansion Input like a1b10 ,

Output: abbbbbbbbbb Position-Based Sorting Sort values at odd positions in descending order, even positions in ascending order. Print X-Shaped Pattern from a String For odd-length strings, format characters in an X-pattern. Substring Search Implement a custom function to find the first index of a substring in a main string.

Return -1 if not found. Merge Two Sorted Arrays Without Duplicates Reverse Words Using Recursion Example:

Input - I love india ,

Output - india love I Although I was fairly well-prepared and managed to attempt most questions confidently, I hit a moment during Question 6 , where I got slightly stuck with recursive logic.

Outcome 19 candidates cleared this round and were selected for the next.

Round 3 Complex Coding (3 Hours) Task: Design a Call Taxi Booking Application You’re given: 6 Points (A to F), each 15 km apart Travel time and fare calculation constraints Logic for taxi allocation, based on availability, location, and earnings Rejection if no taxi is available Also had to: Handle multiple customer bookings Display taxi details This round was challenging due to the interlinked logic requirements. Only 9 candidates moved forward after successfully completing this round with accurate implementations.

Round 4 Technical Interview 2 Questions were focused on: Projects (be thorough with what you mention) Core concepts in C and OOP Databases Scenario-based logic puzzles

Round 5 Technical Interview 3 More in-depth questions: C, C++ and Java topics (e.g., threads, synchronization)

Follow-up on previous coding rounds A few more live problem-solving tasks and technical puzzles

Round 6 HR General conversation including: Strengths and weaknesses Resume discussion Work culture and career expectations Final questions from my side Family background Scenario-based hypothetical questions (e.g., "If you could change 3 things in India…") General traits and behavior-based questions Final

Outcome I didn’t get a direct placement from Zoho, but I did receive an internship offer , with the potential to convert into a full-time role based on performance. The third round was the most challenging , both in terms of logic and coding depth. If you're preparing for Zoho or similar companies, hands-on coding and strong fundamentals are a must. Thanks once again to GeeksforGeeks and other preparation platforms that helped me throughout this journey.
