The process began in June when the training and placement cell of the Noida college sent an e-mail, inviting students to fill out a form for Google's summer internship hiring. Singh was among those who applied and received a link to attend a virtual career talk.

Then came the challenging part, the online assessment which was scheduled for July, which the engineering student successfully cleared. The evaluation was then followed by two rounds of interview for the final selection.
“The journey included a rigorous online assessment followed by two technical interviews the next day, each step challenging me and testing my problem-solving skills,” she said.

Isha Singh revealed that the first interview lasted for 50 minutes, during which she was asked two questions on data structure and algorithms. She categorised the difficulty level as "medium to hard".
The second interview, which lasted for 45 minutes, also focused on technical questions.
"This interview focused on priority queues, with a follow-up question on the same topic," she wrote in a post on Medium.
"Both rounds were eliminatory in nature, meaning that only those who performed well in the first round would advance to the second."
The students were surprised when they received the final results the next day from the college's placement cell.
"Seeing my name on that list was an incredible moment, marking the culmination of intense preparation and hard work," Singh said.
"This is a dream came true. I had never thought about clearing the first interview of my life that too in GOOGLE. (sic)"

When a camera takes a selfie, and reveals a star

In 2022, NASA's Near Infrared Camera took its own selfie for "engineering and alignment purposes.” Will the wonders of this space explorer never cease?
On March 16, 2022, NASA uploaded a selfie taken by the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) on the James Webb Telescope on its Flickr handle. This selfie was achieved using a specialised pupil imaging lens inside the camera that was designed to take images of the primary mirror segments instead of images of the sky. In the image, all of Webb’s 18 primary mirror segments are seen collecting light from the same star in unison. The US space agency clarified that the configuration was not used in scientific operations – it was simply done for "alignment and engineering purposes". In other words, just like why the rest of us take selfies.
