Your seniors at National Institute of Technology (NIT), Rourkela were your true well-wishers, they shared their placement interview questions for you. 🙏
Round: Test Experience: Mostly concentrated on the programming questions. There were 2 coding questions. First one of 40 marks and 2nd one of 20 marks. Other sections consisted of quantitative, aptitude, verbal ability and technical questions that were 1 marks each. I guess solving at least one of the programming questions was essential for getting shortlisted. I would say difficulty level was above average. Important aspect was speed. I did most of the practice from geeksquiz but like I said I was concentrating of the programming questions as they carried more marks. Tips: NA
Round: Group Discussion Experience: There was no GD round exactly. It was an application design round. I had no idea about this round. However stuff that we learnt in the System Analysis and Design coursework helped me. We were asked to design an application for an E-Commerce organization. It was pretty easy for me to explain this with all the data flow and the database design and the logic used to implement those. Tips: NA
Round: Technical Interview Experience: I went through some of the interview papers for SAP. Got an idea as in what are the questions they normally ask.Turns out they did stress a lot on OOPs concepts and C++. I had already done my homework from tutorialspoint a day before the interviews. So wasn’t that hard to answerthe questions. The 2nd technical round was a challenge as I was askedquestions from OS and DBMS too. I would say a little bit more preparationfrom geeksquiz and geeksforgeeks and tutorialspoint(as I forgot syntax
for one of the queries) would have been good. Not much from Data Structures were being asked.
The managerial round was kind of tricky. Not only the interviewer was checking my technical aspect, he was also looking at the logical part as in how I approached a problem. I was asked a couple of questions from the current affairs too. Also some questions regarding Inflation and the economy. Staying updated can be a plus point here. Tips: A clear concept on C++, OOPs, DBMS and OS is sufficient. Also one should definitely be thorough with his/her resume. Not much Data Structure was asked but I would definitely suggest to go through the DS concepts too
General Tips: Also do not ignore Aptitude and Quantitative questions as they do contribute to the total score and often they are the key factor in decidingcandidates for the next round. For CS people: Do not underestimate the ECE people. Most of them prepare for CAT so they are pretty good with the quant and apti. Skill Tips: A clear concept on C++, OOPs, DBMS and OS is sufficient. Also one should definitely be thorough with his/her resume. Not much Data Structure was asked but I would definitely suggest to go through the DS concepts too College Name: NIT ROURKELA Motivation: It was frustrating especially with all the rejections. Some rejections with the pretty lame excuses were hard to buy. However all well that ends well. I am pretty relieved with having a backup now. I should have given some effort initially with the interview preparations. Also Yes. SAP is considered as a good company to start a successful career. Iam pretty much satisfied with this on campus offer. I will be applying off campus in other dream companies of mine.
