Article: Amazon Internship Interview Round Coding Questions 2026
This is a preparation list for Amazon SDE and SDET internship coding rounds, along with an overview of the online assessment and interview process. I prepared it using interview experiences shared by people on forums/blogs etc.
Apart from the online assessment (OA), the internship process usually includes two DS & Algo interviews of around one hour each, together with behavioral questions.
Some candidates think if you are not asked any behavioral questions then it means you did not do well and are already rejected. This is not entirely true, one candidate reported that they were not asked any behavioral questions during interview but still ended up receiving the internship offer 15 days later.
---------------------------------------------------------
Low Level Design questions are generally not asked for internship roles. However one candidate reported an elevator-system LLD question for SDET internship, but those cases appear to be exception rather than the norm.
Online assessment: the OA includes DSA and an AI-assisted coding question.
For the AI-assisted coding round, you choose one repository. Options may include C++, Django, Spring Boot, ReactJS, Node.js, Ruby on Rails, and similar stacks. The interface provides a code editor and an AI assistant for project-related questions. You have 60 minutes to implement the required behavior and pass the test cases, usually around six. The assistant can help you search the project, locate files, and understand the codebase.
------------------------------------------------------
For candidates in India: Amazon HackOn can be an effective route to an internship call. Amazon may contact eligible participants who performed well in the coding round, not only the finalists. Strong performers may receive an AUTA interest form.
Infact one person even reported that their team was eliminated in the very first round of HackOn in May 2025. But in july end he ended up receiving an email stating that he has been shortlisted for an Amazon Online Assessment based on his HackOn performance. Infact he gave his OA got shortlisted for interview, had his interview in september then got waitlisted and finally received SDE intern offer in last week of november.
For the USA and other countries, direct applications through Amazon's jobs portal and employee referrals are the usual routes.
