\n1st Round: ONLINE EXAM
\nIt was an online exam round. Exam consisted of multiple sections of objective questions.1st section was 10 minute 60 questions round in which behavioral question were asked. Besides this, there were 5 more sections- maths, logical reasoning, technical (mostly C output questions), verbal and coding round. Maths section (10 questions) was tough, Logical reasoning (15 questions) was tougher, technical (10 questions) was relatively easy, verbal (10 questions) was also easy. The coding round had 2 questions. The questions were selected randomly.I guess you had to solve at least one to qualify for the R&D interview process. One question carried 40 marks and other one 20 marks. You had to write full code for the 40 marks question and partial code was given for the 20 marks one. Just as an advice, learn parsing before appearing for the written test (for coding).
\nTHEY SHORTLISTED TOTAL 55 STUDENTS, 24 FOR R&D AND 31 FOR CONSULTANCY!
\nALL ROUNDS WERE ELIMINATION ROUNDS HEREAFTER!<\/p>\n

2nd Round<\/strong>: APPLICATION DESIGN
\nThis round was meant to see your design skills. All the students were divided into groups of 6 and each group was allotted a mentor. We had to design an e-commerce website just like Amazon\/Flipkart. Here it is important to make E-R diagram, class diagram, database table design, testing strategies, transaction details, etc. The time allotted was 30 minutes. It\u2019s also important to convey your idea regularly to the mentor allotted to your group who will monitor the progress of each student of the group after every 5 minutes.2-3 students will be selected from each group.<\/p>\n

3rd Round<\/strong>-TECHNICAL ROUND1
\nIt was a technical round and I was asked questions from OS, DBMS, DS, OOPS. Questions were also asked related to cloud since SAP is working on cloud these days, cloud security, memory distribution in case of parallel computing, some coding questions, some basic OOPS concepts and one puzzle. Puzzle was given a rectangular cake, one smaller rectangle cake has been cut, now if allowed to make only one cut, how will you do so to cut the cake exactly into two equal halves.
\n4th Round<\/strong>-TECHNICAL ROUND2
\nThe level of questions were raised, so it was slightly tougher than round1.This round again covered questions from all the subjects. Was asked as to how to make your own garbage collector in java. 1 puzzle was also asked. Modified version of HAT puzzle.<\/p>\n

5th Round<\/strong>– MANAGERIAL
\nThe round was for checking whether you fit in the company\u2019s environment or not. The interview ran for approximately 30-45 minutes (more because I was the first student who cleared the above rounds.). The manager asked everything related to the resume, interests, saw my leadership qualities, asked as to whether i will be comfortable with coding, testing or support role. He also gave a puzzle (the common 3 and 5 jug problem) though he wanted more than 1 solution. He also gave a coding question and a database design question for room allotment.
\n6th Round<\/strong>– HR
\nHR Round was more of a formality, though it also was also of 25-30 minute duration. It was a typical HR interview. I was asked behavioral questions and profile related questions!
\nAt last result was declared and I found my name in the list of selected candidates. I was really very happy and enjoyed that day a lot.

\n\u2022 OOPS approach
\n\u2022 Data structure and algorithms
\n\u2022 Puzzles
\n\u2022 Operating system
\n\u2022 Cloud computing<\/p>\n
