I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in Dec 2016.
6 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Those with CGPA of greater than 8.0 from CS and Elec were allowed to write the test.
Round: Test
Experience: Find the index at which a monotonically increasing sequence attains a given value. Naive implementation of binary search worked.
Tips: 1. Make sure all test cases pass. Else you wont be considered for next round.
2. Make sure you use the right data types. The numbers given were in the range of 2^63 and unless you use long long - the test cases will not pass.
3. The coding test allows only C, C++ or Java.
Duration: 3 hours
Total Questions: 1
Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: They'll also ask you about your projects and internships. I had done projects in ML. So, they asked related questions regarding PCA, Linear Algebra and Spectral Decomposition. Basically, explain your project thoroughly and be able to answer questions related to projects well.
Tips: I had two technical and one HR round. Answer HR questions convincingly or you wont get selected. They'll ask you why you prefer Samsung over other companies (don't mention if you have interviews with Goldman, if you do give convincing reasons as to why you wont join Goldman over Samsung). They'll ask you about plans for higher studies. They basically want to give offers to people who are likely to accept the offer. Convince them of this and you are done.

Round: Test
Experience: Given a marathon racer and an array of 5 elements having the time taken (t_i) and energy spent(e_i) for running 1 Km. He has to run a marathon of D Km and expending atmost E energy. Find the minimum time required to run the marathon. Once he starts a 1 Km sprint, he has to continue at the same speed till the 1 Km is complete.
Tips: Try Brute force, if nothing works.
I used a*e_1+b*e_2+c*e_3+d*e_4+e * e_5 <= E
and a+b+c+d+e = D
Solve these two equation and minimize a*t_1+b*t_2+c*t_3+d*t_4+e * t_5
