I recently participated in the Juspay Hiring Challenge and went through multiple stages. Overall, the process was rigorous, well-structured, and focused heavily on problem-solving ability and consistency.
Round 1 – MCQ (DSA + CS Fundamentals)
Questions covered time complexity, OS, DBMS, and core CS concepts.
Round 2 – MCQ (DSA + Numericals)
Conceptual DSA questions combined with logical/physics-style numericals.
Round 3 – Coding Round
3 coding questions, mostly based on two-pointers and sliding-window patterns.
Round 4 – Hackathon (Part A – 3 hours)
One problem based on a locking/unlocking tree. Required structural thinking and handling tricky edge cases.
Round 5 – Coding Round
2 problems — one Dynamic Programming, one Greedy.
Round 6 – Elimination Interview
One coding question plus discussion on projects, approach, and thought process.
Round 7 – Hackathon (Part B – 8 hours)
Continuation of Part A with multithreading. Full-day challenge focused on concurrency and correctness.
Although I wasn’t selected in the end, I found the experience very rewarding. It tested not only technical knowledge, but also patience, debugging skills, and mindset.
