Can I use resources like Stack Overflow to help me code during the coding interview?

Learn whether you’re allowed to use external resources like Stack Overflow during the coding interview.

Updated over a week ago

No, external resources are not allowed during the interview.

That includes:

  • Websites like Stack Overflow, GitHub, GeeksforGeeks, etc.

  • AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or anything else

  • Notes or saved code on your desktop

The platform will detect any tab switches, multiple screens, or suspicious behaviour. If you attempt to cheat, it will be flagged and included in your report.


Example:

Even if you don’t paste anything, just opening a second tab or trying to search for help can trigger a violation.
