In 2026 expect OOP concepts with real examples (the four pillars, abstract class versus interface), a simple coding problem like palindrome checking with variants, and DBMS basics such as normalization up to third normal form. Interviewers want textbook-accurate explanations backed by concrete examples and one language you are genuinely comfortable in. Deep dynamic-programming puzzles are rare; the differentiator is whether you can explain core concepts cleanly and write a correct small program without fumbling the basics.
