How should I prepare for an internship interview?

Research the company, prepare 3-5 stories about your projects using the STAR method, practice aptitude questions, and prepare your "Tell me about yourself" answer. Internship interviews are shorter than full-time interviews but test attitude, learning ability, and basic domain knowledge.

What are the most common internship interview questions?

Common questions include: Tell me about yourself, Why do you want to intern here, What are your strengths/weaknesses, Tell me about a project you built, Where do you see yourself in 5 years, and technical questions specific to the role.

How do I crack aptitude tests for campus placements?

Practice regularly with previous year papers, focus on Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, and Verbal Ability. Use our free aptitude test section on MyInternships.in for timed mock tests. Most companies use 45-60 minute aptitude rounds.

What should I wear for an internship interview?

Business casual is standard for most Indian companies. For IT and startup companies, smart casual (neat shirt/blouse, formal trousers) is acceptable. For finance, consulting, and banking roles, formal attire (shirt, trousers/saree) is recommended.

About Forma.ai

Forma.ai builds a platform that changes how sales compensation is designed, managed and optimised. Sales commission sounds like a narrow problem until you see the scale: the company handles billions in annual managed commissions, across plan structures that differ by role, region, product and quarter, and that change constantly. Getting it wrong means paying the wrong people the wrong amounts and destroying trust in the sales organisation, so accuracy is non-negotiable and the data problems are genuinely hard. Its customers include OpenTable, Stryker and Autodesk. The platform combines a data model flexible enough to express almost any commission plan with analytics that let leaders test plan changes before rolling them out. Forma.ai runs a Pune office alongside its Toronto headquarters, and the India team works on core product, analytics engineering and customer operations rather than back-office tasks. For an intern, the attraction is working with messy, high-volume, high-stakes data from customers across many industries — the kind of problem where clean modelling and careful validation visibly matter — inside a company where a compensation error is immediately noticed.

Expert Tips

Practice LeetCode easy and medium problems before the OA — focus on arrays, strings, trees, and graphs.
For system design, use the RESHADED framework: Requirements, Estimation, Storage, High-level design, APIs, Detailed design, Evaluation.
Prepare 3–4 STAR stories covering: a challenge you solved, a time you worked in a team, a project you owned end-to-end.
After every coding solution, proactively state the time and space complexity — interviewers expect it.
Study common CS fundamentals: process vs thread, TCP vs UDP, REST vs GraphQL, SQL indexing, CAP theorem.
