Preparation Tips
- 1Build strong skills in high-concurrency system design, caching, and distributed systems — IRCTC's unique scale challenges mean interviewers probe specifically for understanding of how to build systems that handle millions of concurrent requests.
- 2Study web application architecture, REST APIs, cloud deployment (AWS/Azure), and mobile application development — these are central to IRCTC's actual work and consistently appear in technical interviews.
- 3Review IRCTC's architecture case studies (its handling of peak Tatkal booking loads is a well-known distributed systems challenge) and be ready to discuss design patterns for high-availability ticketing systems.
- 4For the aptitude section, build standard quantitative problem-solving speed; the 90-minute constraint across CS Technical and Aptitude sections requires efficient time management to score well in both parts.
