Details of types of questions asked in each of the sections:

First Aptitude + Quant + Analytical [G-SAT (Global Samsung Aptitude test)]test was there. It was for 50 min. It was simple. Analytical questions were time taking.

Technical test had 30 questions — 30 minutes. It was simple C, Data Structures & some OS questions.

PERSONAL INTERVIEW (TECHNICAL)

Actually, this time Technical panel didn’t come to campus because of some problem. Only HR manager was there. So he said that he will take HR interview first & technical test & technical interview will happen later on. After nearly 1 month.. Technical process happened in Hyderabad. First they took technical written test [Details about it are mentioned above].. After that 11 candidates they shortlisted. 5 MTechs & 6 BTechs. One person was taking interview for 2 persons at a time on different tables. He will give some work to one person & later he will go to other person to ask questions. For me.. Interview was only for 20-25 mins.. & it was too simple compare to other core companies.. He asked following questions..

1) Tell me about your self [Family background & Academic back ground ]

SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCES

It was nice experience.. But the process was very lengthy..as ppt, written & HR happened in one day.. & after 1 month technical test & technical interview happened.. & Again for results v waited for 1 more day.. But still “Wait was Worth!!!” 🙂 All panel members were nice..co-operative..

SUGGESTIONS TO JUNIORS
Prepare well for campus placements from initially only. Concentrate on Aptitude [R S Agrawal] & all your core subjects [For CS: C, C++, DS, OS, Networking, DBMS(For some companies) & if you know Java..that will be nice]. In the interview, Stay Cool.. Don’t be tensed.. They want to see your confidence & attitude along with your Technical
Skills..& Finally luck also matters a lot.
