This page focuses on a Cisco Bangalore software-engineering summer intern account from 2025. The candidate described an on-campus assessment, technical interview, managerial interview, and short HR conversation. Cisco teams and experienced-hire loops may differ substantially.
\nThe candidate reported 40 multiple-choice questions on OOP, networking, and operating systems, plus two coding questions described only as a Trie/BFS problem and a graph problem. Since the statements were not published, they are recorded as topics rather than rewritten into questions. The details are in the Cisco Summer Intern 2025 experience on GeeksforGeeks (2025).
\nThe interview included project discussion and these named prompts:
\nThe questions are listed in the candidate's Cisco report (2025). The broader OS concepts in item six were presented as topics in the source, not a verbatim single interviewer question.
\nThe next discussion revisited projects and networking. The candidate specifically reported explaining DNS end to end and discussing types of IP addresses. The conversation also covered a book and a student leadership role. The final short HR chat included strengths and weaknesses, teamwork challenges, and location preference. All appear in the same Cisco account.
\nThe report's practical lesson is to know the details of every project and resume line. For coding practice, work through linked-list operations without relying on a library. For networking, be ready to explain the path from a name lookup to a connection. These are candidate reflections, not an official Cisco rubric.
\nThe candidate described them only as a Trie/BFS problem and a graph problem. The report does not provide full statements, so this guide keeps them as topics rather than inventing question wording. See the Cisco Summer Intern 2025 report.
