Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Initially Aptitude test was conducted at first stage.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Finally 3 M.Tech students and one B.Tech student(that's me) were chosen.
General Tips: Be extremely well prepared for any company. Research about the company's profile extensively before the company's interview. HR panel always looks for candidates who are well aware of the company in order to measure the candidate's interest. Data structures are absolutely necessary for any company. Improve coding skills through frequent participation in competitive programming arena such as codeForces, codeChef, HackerEarth etc. "Software development job profile was offered to me.
Unnecessary and irrelevant questions are to be avoided. We should raise questions only if we have some genuine questions. However any question related to job profile or location preference could be raised.
It was very grueling and tiring at first but the sweet taste of placement makes it all worth it.
Placements are a turning point in everybody's career.
Skill Tips: A lot of research into company needs to be made. Operating systems and databases require more amount of preparation and priority in Oracle.
For data structures, online materials such as GeeksforGeeks are excellent and in case of OOPS concepts, stronghold in either C++ or java programming language is necessary.

showcase your interest in big data, servers and passion for technology.

2 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: First round was online technical aptitude round. Around 60 students were shortlisted for interviews. Two rounds of interviews followed which revolves mostly around the concepts of DBMS, programming, logical reasoning and cloud computing(no idea why?). Only 12 were selected for second interview round out of which they selected only 5.
General Tips: Set your goals and sit for only those type of companies which match your aspirations.
Please do attend their PPTs as they can be very helpful in the interviews. Sometimes rejections happen only becuse we havn't attended their PPT. Try to cover atleast the basics of each topic that i told above. Be thorough with your concepts and speak confidently over there. Be strong in DSA, OS and one programming language especially.
Also prepare well for HR round as they can be really screwing as well. Cover topics like strengths/weaknesses, why you want to join their company, higher education(say no always) and reason for not going for it, why should they hire you, etc.
Do not panic, just always stay calm. Also listen carefully and with whole concentration to what they say. Always be patient, you will get a good company.
Also keep practicing your concepts even after you get placed. You will thank me later for this last point.
Skill Tips: DSA, OS, DBMS, C, JAVA, computer networks and puzzles are the most frequent things interviewers ask (in this order preference as well).
Forouzan for computer networks.Prefer online resources for preparation of C such as tutorialspoint, etc. Test your C skills by yeshwant kanetkar will also help you. For java, programmerinterview.com will help you prepare.

3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Online aptitude test (4 sections: Computer Science basics, Aptitude, Quant, Verbal).
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Technical interview I (30 mins):
One question on linked list, questions based on my internship project (with some modifications), E-R diagram of a database project I had done (original and with modifications), discussion about current technologies at Oracle (discussed in PPT).
Technical+HR (40 mins):
One question on dynamic programming, one question on design (basic working model with assumptions, code, drawbacks, alternate approaches).
Questions on my strengths, weaknesses, achievements etc were asked.
General Tips: Apart from algorithms and data structures, you should also know the basics of DBMS (SQL queries, Schema, ER diagram) and Software Engineering (optional, but helpful).
For server tech, knowledge of OS concepts is necessary.
The overall process went quite smoothly. The interviewers were very cooperative. My first interview was at 11:30 am, second at 5:30 pm and third at 9:30 am on the next day. So I got more than enough time to relax and prepare between the interviews.
Skill Tips: *Pay attention during the PPT. Interviewers may ask questions based on what was presented.
*Try to learn about the company from ambitionbox
*You should be able to explain any projects you have mentioned in your resume clearly.
*Presentation matters.
*If asked about future goals (higher studies etc.), mention them in such a way that they appear to converge with company requirements (if you want the job)
*For application development profile, familiarity with design questions is required.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Oracle conducts an online test in the beginning of the semester. This test consists of general aptitude, verbal ability, C output type questions.
Many divisions of Oracle visit the campus throughout the semester and all of them use these test scores. So, it is advisable not to miss this test.
For Server Tech profile, around 30 were shortlisted for interviews. Most from CS/IT and few from other branches.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Interview Round 1 : Explain projects. Questions were asked based on whatever you say your strong topics are. So, be thoroughly prepared with one of them atleast. Was asked about normalisation in DB, basic linked list questions. A guesstimate type question was also asked. 13 were selected for next round.
Interview Round 2 : Network questions, OSI layers, their functioning. Basic topics. A simple puzzle, involved optimising the solution. DSA question, based on trees
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Telephonic HR round : Standard questions. Nothing to worry about here.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Interview Round 3 : 6 were selected for this round. I was asked 3 questions. One based on OS synchronisation concept, one on DSA, and another on logic gates (I know, its out of the ordinary).
General Tips: To even have a sniff at getting placed, clearing the first round is mandatory. I have seen many deserving people falter in the first round. So, please don't overlook this. Let Us C and Test your C Skills by Yeshwant Kanetkar are the best for this purpose. Many companies lift questions straight off these books.
Do NOT ignore general aptitude. We all think we are good at it, until we realise there are many others who are better. So, practice from aptitude books, online resources.Again, please make good use of your summer. Otherwise, you'll be playing catch up for the first few weeks, like me.
Placements are probably the most challenging experience for most of us in college. If you've got a PPO, nothing like it.
It will be very exhausting. You may feel like giving up. Endless PPTs, interviews etc. But, never lose your determination and you will be rewarded for your hard work.
And the joy after getting placed.
Skill Tips: This is for the software junta. First of all, if you are from CS/IT, there are a plethora of companies coming in the first month itself. So, it is important to be prepared beforehand. Make good use of your summer. I cannot overstate the importance of DSA in placements. Please go through Karumanchi and/or geeksforgeeks. Both of them are equally good. At the same time, brush up the other fundamentals : DB, OS, Networks.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
General Tips: Prepare for general Apti and C-Apti questions beforehand. It's a very under rated advice.
The job profile offered to me was mainly financial. Some of the questions one should make sure to ask the interviewers is a detailed interpretation of what your job may entail and the various intricacies like the city where you will probably be working, the training period etc are must asked question.
Skill Tips: Be confident in your answers. Your personality is the first thing they try to assess and if you can come across as someone who is confident in his abilities, you immediately gain a head-start.
Overall, after observing other interview processes, I would have to say that my placement experience was relatively tension free. The interviewers did a great job in helping me relax and I don't really remember ever being stressed out during any of the rounds.
