Target is a retailer whose India global capability centre supports its wider business. Its official India information describes work in Target Tech, marketing and digital, service centres, operations, and process automation. This gives applicants several possible directions: software that supports shopping, data work that supports decisions, and systems that connect business operations. Start with the actual team and vacancy rather than treating every Target position as the same software role.
Check India internship or entry-level listings individually. The global intern and entry-level pages do not establish eligibility for every India graduate. Prepare one project that explains a customer or operational problem and your contribution.
For a retail technology role, discuss correctness during checkout, availability of stock information, testing and the impact of a failed change. For data or operations roles, bring evidence of decision quality and measurable process improvements.
Application guidance from official resources. Assessment format, eligibility and interview sequence depend on the vacancy; confirm these with the recruiting team.
Use the India careers portal and match the requisition to the team, location and experience required. Target publishes an interview guide covering preparation, relevant experience, collaboration and problem solving. It notes that some positions use recorded video interviews; this is not a universal India engineering round sequence.

Use a real example. Explain the context, your own decisions, how you communicated and the outcome. Be clear about what you would improve next time. Original practice; not evidence of a question asked by Target.
