From my own experience, first he asked to give my introduction, then my recent 2 projects. He might also ask questions from your resume if you have done any certifications or courses.
He asked me on what all languages I have worked on and then if I am familiar with OOPS concept and explain it with example.
More questions will asked based on Java/ C++/ Python (based on your language preference), DBMS and DSA.

Next is HR interview after the technical interview.
This interview will be face to face with one of the HR working in the company who is responsible for onboarding of new recruits.
The HR will ask questions such as your introduction, about the company, about the job profile you are applying for, if you are ready relocate to different city, names of coding platform you are active on and any other questions for them.

After successful onboarding, you are asked to attempt another coding test known as technology test.
In this test, you have to code in the language you want training on. If you write code in Python, you will get training in Python language or in Java then training in Java language.
