Sample Answer
For a typical CRUD app with auth and roles, I like to keep things boring and reliable. On the frontend, I’d use React with TypeScript, React Router, and a component library like MUI for fast, consistent responsive UI. I’d structure it with feature-based folders and use React Query for data fetching, caching, and optimistic updates, which has cut perceived latency by ~30% on past projects. On the backend, I’d go with Node.js, TypeScript, and a framework like NestJS or Express, using a layered architecture (controllers → services → repositories). Auth would be JWT-based for APIs plus refresh tokens, with role-based access handled via middleware/guards and a clear permission model (e.g., roles + resource-based policies). For data, I’d pick PostgreSQL with an ORM like Prisma or TypeORM for safety and migrations, modeling audit fields and soft deletes. I’d also add Redis for caching hot reads, and OpenAPI/Swagger for documented, versioned REST endpoints.

In your civil engineering studies, what specific design coursework or project work did you complete related to irrigation channels or canals (e.g., design of lined/unlined canals, distributaries, minors)? Describe one such design in detail, including how you determined discharge, permissible velocity, section dimensions, and lining choice for Gujarat-type soil and climate conditions.
Based on your hydrology and irrigation engineering background, explain how you would estimate the irrigation water requirement for a kharif crop in a semi-arid region of Gujarat. Walk me through each step: from reference evapotranspiration estimation, crop coefficient selection, effective rainfall calculation, to arriving at canal discharge for a given command area.
On your resume you mention working on a cross-functional project (e.g., involving multiple teams or stakeholders). Describe a situation from that project where priorities conflicted—how did you navigate the trade-offs and what was the final outcome?
Walk me through a recent multi-channel digital marketing campaign you managed end-to-end. How did you set objectives, choose channels, allocate budget, and measure success?
In your resume you note improving or optimizing [a process, KPI, or metric]. What specific baseline metrics did you start from, what steps did you personally take, and how did you verify that the improvement was due to your changes rather than external factors?
