There were two round of interviews, both lasted 45 minutes. 5 minute was for introduction of both the interviewer and me, then I was asked 2 data structures and algorithms problems in both the rounds of interview.

Interview
Google visited our campus for its SWE intern role. The process began with an online coding challenge consisting of two questions to be completed within one hour. Shortlisted candidates then moved on to two rounds of interviews, each lasting 45 minutes, with progression to the second round based on performance in the first. The interviewers were very friendly, making the overall experience smooth. To excel, it's important to keep the interview interactive, clearly present your logic, and use meaningful variable names and proper comments in your code. Results were declared on the same day.
