The first round was focused on cybersecurity and computer networking basics. The interviewer asked questions related to networking concepts such as OSI model, TCP/IP, IP addressing, and basic security concepts like firewalls, encryption, and common cyber attacks. Some scenario-based questions were also asked to check practical understanding.

Overall, the round went well. The interviewer was friendly and gave hints when needed. They were mainly checking conceptual clarity rather than very deep technical knowledge.

The HR round was simple and focused on general questions like introduction, strengths and weaknesses, why cybersecurity, and why Paytm. They also asked about relocation and work flexibility.

This round was smooth and more conversational.
