An engineering student from Noida recently revealed how she managed to land a coveted internship at Google, calling it a culmination of intense preparation and hard work. Isha Singh, a third-year student majoring in computer science, shared details of the assessment and interviews she undertook before being selected by the tech giant for its software engineering summer internship scheduled for 2025.

“I finally got an offer from @Google for a software engineering internship 2025. Here is the thread explaining how it all happened,” Singh said in a thread on X (formerly Twitter).

The process began in June when Noida College’s training and placement office sent out an email inviting students to fill out a form for Google’s summer internships. Singh was one of those who applied and received a link to a virtual career interview.

Then came the challenging part, the online assessment scheduled for July, which the engineering student successfully completed. The assessment was then followed by two rounds of interviews for the final selection.

“The process involved a rigorous online assessment followed by two technical interviews the next day. Each step challenged me and tested my problem-solving skills,” she said.

Isha Singh revealed that the first interview lasted 50 minutes, during which she was asked two questions on data structure and algorithms. She rated the difficulty level as “moderate to difficult”.

The second interview, which lasted 45 minutes, also focused on technical questions.

“This interview focused on priority queues, with a follow-up question on the same topic,” she wrote in a post on Medium.

“Both rounds were elimination rounds, meaning only those who did well in the first round made it to the second.”

The students were surprised when they received the final results from the college placement office the next day.

“Seeing my name on this list was an incredible moment and marked the culmination of intense preparation and hard work,” Singh said.

“This is a dream come true. I never thought I would be having the first job interview of my life, and on GOOGLE too. (sic)”

Another user, sasadx, commented: “Congratulations, I really wanted to know if they expect you to know other things besides DSA, like any development part? Or if you like to have projects?”
