4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Thanks for letting my resume through even when I submitted it half an hour after the deadline :)
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Smoothly conducted; no complaints about the organization of the event. (Though Samsung could have done better than keep that "structured GD" which wasn't even a GD :D)
General Tips: Don't sweat it if your resume isn't very illustrious. Some basic projects and maybe experience at some startup would be enough for the resume shortlist (that was all I had, pretty much). The aptitude test has many questions but just try to attempt as many as you can in a relaxed manner. The coding test is peace - review basic algorithms (very basic, not even to graphs/linked lists level). And for the GD just stay calm and even if you can't form a well-rounded speech quickly, just mention your salient features. They will get back to you as they do another round through the people in the room. So just stay calm and think during the GD. You don't need to be a Hitler-level speaker to clear this (believe me, I'm far from it :) ). They take many people so don't worry too much about competition either. All the best :)
Skills: Communication, Aptitude, Basic C/C++
Duration: 2
College Name: IIT Madras
Motivation: I was looking for a CS-based profile but in my heart I preferred one that didn't involve IT (I did apply for those too, for backup). So RnD profiles like Samsung and Adobe fit the bill nicely; I didn't get selected for Adobe though, and people do say that their RnD is better. No way to know, right? :D
Funny Moments: Technically I shouldn't say things about the applicants who took the GD with me (some of them did get through in fact), but I simply have to mention the types of problems and resolutions that were talked about in the "structured GD" - using satellite images to identify and combat poverty, seriously?
And the moderator totally dissed the last guy who talked (out of his turn actually, when everyone was about to leave) - she didn't care about his speech and cut him short saying "let's give you seed money, maybe you'll build a business" !

3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Three sections in aptitude - English, Analytical, Quantitative. English was mostly correct the grammar in the sentences or comprehension passage types. Analytical and quant also were straightforward questions.
Three simple coding questions. C/C++/Java. Nothing new if you have done a coding course like CS1100 or before IIT.
Tips: Be quick in answering english, you have to give more time to quantitative questions.
For coding, revise pointers properly. Also revise how to efficiently carry out string operations without the string libraries.
Duration: 120 minutes
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: It was converted to a structured GD in the last minute, meaning there was no discussion as such. Every person had to come up with his/her own problem and present a solution, totally independent of others. It was kind of like an interview in the end.
Tips: While thinking about a topic or solution, dont digress from the main topic. For such topics, come up with ideas which are socially very relevant or affect a large number of people. Of course, you need to support it with a valid engineering solution otherwise the whole thing is moot.
Duration: 25 minutes
General Tips: No one on one interview process. So if you cup badly in interviews, this may be your way out. But if the GD becomes a structured one then you are out of luck. Sorry!
