Whether you’re a fresh graduate gearing up for campus placements or a jobseeker aiming for your dream company, the technical round is a critical milestone in any hiring process—especially in engineering, science, and IT roles.
But what exactly is the technical round? Why does it matter so much? And how do you prepare for it effectively? Let’s break it down.
What is a Technical Round?
The technical round is a stage in the interview process where the subject knowledge, problem-solving skills, and technical communication are evaluated. It is typically conducted by a domain expert, not an HR manager, and can take various forms:
- Written/Online Test (Aptitude, Coding, Domain MCQs)
- Technical Interview (In-person/Virtual, verbal Q&A)
- Hands-on Task (Coding on the spot, system design, hardware simulation)
- Project Discussion (Your final-year project, internships, certifications)
- Whiteboard Problem Solving (Algorithm or architecture building live)
This round determines whether you can do the job technically—not just talk about it.
What Do Interviewers Look For?
In a technical round, interviewers assess:
- Core Subject Knowledge (e.g., Data Structures, Thermodynamics, Circuits)
- Analytical Thinking and Approach
- Coding or Simulation Proficiency
- Understanding of Past Projects
- Application of Concepts to Real Problems
- Clarity in Communication of Technical Ideas
Why Do Many Students Struggle Here?
❌ Rote learning without conceptual understanding
❌ Lack of practice in articulating answers
❌ Nervousness during one-on-one interviews
❌ No exposure to voice-based, real-time simulations
❌ Not enough feedback on where they go wrong
That’s where AIPrepX comes in.
