Mphasis Software Engineer interviews in these reports emphasize clear command of fundamentals and your own project work more than advanced algorithm puzzles. One Software Engineer candidate described a technical assessment, technical interview, and HR round; their technical discussion covered Java OOP, collections, streams, JVM memory, Spring Boot, microservices, SQL, Kafka, and easy-to-medium coding. Another reported phone screening followed by an online technical discussion with C++ and DSA concepts, basic SQL, and class types.
Prepare a concise walkthrough of your recent projects, including the choices you made and the parts you owned. Candidates across closely related software-engineering titles also report resume- and project-led technical conversations, along with questions on linked-list reversal, sorting, OOP, database basics, and API or web-development fundamentals. Practice writing a small solution and explaining its approach without relying on an IDE, since one technical session required a plain-text editor and screen sharing.
For Java-oriented openings, review collections, OOP, streams, and SQL joins; for a role aligned to another language, expect the discussion to follow the skills on your resume. Assessment formats vary across reports, from aptitude and reasoning to technical multiple-choice questions. The available reports are thin on a single standardized process, so treat the sequence and stack as role-dependent.

The interview was pretty straightforward overall, but it did cover a decent range of basics. I went through an initial screening over the phone, and then the next round was online. The first round was more of a general filter, and after that they asked a lot of relevant C++ questions, including DSA concepts. It felt like they wanted to make sure I really knew the language and the fundamentals rather than just surface-level syntax. I was also asked some basic SQL queries and a question on types of classes, so the technical side wasn’t limited to one area.
What stood out to me was that the process was not very coding-heavy in the sense of long algorithm problems, but it did expect you to be comfortable with core concepts. The other rounds I heard about in the process were an aptitude round, a communication round with an auto-bot app, a technical round, and an HR round, so the full campus selection flow seemed to be one of those one-day processes with several stages. In my case, the screening and technical discussion were the main parts, and the questions stayed at a basic-to-intermediate level. I didn’t find it especially difficult, but you do need to be solid on the fundamentals and be able to explain them clearly. I ended up not getting an offer, so I’d say the main takeaway is to revise your language basics, DSA concepts, and a few SQL fundamentals before going in.
Prep tip from this candidate
Brush up on C++ fundamentals and DSA concepts, since the screening focused heavily on those rather than long coding problems. Also be ready for basic SQL and class-type questions, plus a separate aptitude/communication/HR flow if you’re going through campus selection.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report either a technical assessment or an initial phone/online screening. Reported assessments range from aptitude, reasoning, and communication to Java, database, or other technical fundamentals, so the exact format may depend on the hiring route.
Candidates report discussions of resume projects alongside language fundamentals, SQL, and coding. Software Engineer reports mention Java, C++/DSA concepts, simple sorting or linked-list tasks, and backend topics; questions may follow the stack and experience shown on your resume.
Several candidates report an HR stage after technical evaluation. In campus-oriented accounts, it may cover self-introduction, motivations, strengths and weaknesses, relocation, shifts, compensation expectations, or other practical role-fit questions.
