Akuna Capital OA Bans AI Tools and Reportedly Uses Trap Questions to Detect Cheating

Akuna Capital explicitly prohibits the use of AI tools during its online assessment and has reportedly embedded trap questions designed to identify AI-generated responses, even analyzing code syntax. The assessment is said to draw from a relatively small and recurring question pool of around a dozen problems. The three commonly reported question types test permutation cycle logic, BFS-based shortest path traversal, and linear dynamic programming. These problems are typically framed within business scenarios such as product sorting, delivery routing, and movie rating selection. The information was shared by a candidate who claims to have sourced verified Akuna OA questions through an interview preparation platform called InterviewShow.
