Sample Answer
At my last job I built an offline-first feed that had to show live updates and sync in the background for ~200k users. The requirement was: show cached content instantly, stream updates as they arrive, and retry syncing without blocking the UI. I modeled repository APIs to expose cold Flows for cached DB queries and a separate shared Flow for push updates. In the ViewModel I merged flows with combine and exposed StateFlow to the UI. I used viewModelScope for collection and ensured cancellation by using distinctUntilChanged and takeWhile for short-lived operations. For long-running sync I launched a SupervisorJob so a failing sync didn’t cancel other coroutines; overall latency dropped 60% and UI jank was eliminated.

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.
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.
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?
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?
