Hi @Priyanka_77 

Nowadays, the pattern of interviews has totally changed. It’s hard to predict what can be asked because it often depends on what you’ve done earlier and what you’ve mentioned in your CV. However, some common technical questions include topics like:

• SOAP vs REST

• When to use SOAP and when to use REST

• The technical differences between the two

Hi Atul,

Thanks for the questions but i dont need theoretical questions. I need scenario based questions.

As I said earlier, it’s tough to predict what an interviewer will ask because it often depends on your past experience and what you’ve listed in your CV. However, many of the questions can also be converted into scenario-based questions.
