The interviewer asked questions on OOPs concepts, finding the middle node of a LinkedList, and a few basic questions on Queues and Stacks along with real-world examples. They also asked me to explain the projects mentioned in my resume, followed by a few project-related questions. This was followed by some managerial questions.
