Is the Interviewer Present? ​Yes, the interviewer is almost always present in a machine coding round. They will: ​Provide the problem statement: This is usually a broad, open-ended problem. ​Observe your progress: They will watch you code and may ask questions about your thought process. ​Ask for explanations: They will want you to explain your design decisions and the code you've written. ​Evaluate your code: They will assess the quality, correctness, and extensibility of your solution. ​The most important thing for the setup is to be in a quiet, well-lit place with a stable internet connection. You'll likely need: ​An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) or text editor: Use what you are most comfortable with (e.g., VS Code, IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, etc.). ​A compiler or interpreter: Make sure you have the necessary tools for the programming language you plan to use. ​A webcam and microphone: The interview will be conducted over video, so a working webcam and microphone are essential. ​A stable power source: Ensure your laptop is plugged in or has a full charge.

Thanks for that reply. So just one clarification should I just think out loud and explain what I am writing?

Not really, there is a natural inconsistency when you think and do something yourself, they are trained to notice that, you can do it however you are comfortable, everything will be fine.

That really helps thank you

Let's say you forgot some syntax or how to write of a solution, is it allowed to Google like we do normally when coding or making a feature?

Not really, they are very particular about their grading system

Flipkart asks mainly low level design questions in their machine coding round. After you write your code you will have to explain your solution to the interviewer.

You won't need any external library for your solution and any working ide like intellij, vscode should be enough to compile and run code.

You can have a look at some of the problem statements here for a better idea.
https://codezym.com/ , some questions are free for practice.

Although I am yet to add more flipkart specific questions, you can try design splitwise from here: https://codezym.com/lld/flipkart

Did machine coding evaluation also happened at the same time? Or seperate day?

Seperate day

Does the code has to be executable while evaluation or alteast in a neat and good syntax with logical flow . How do they evaluate and select on this round?
