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.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The company was open only for B.Techs from CS and IT. Around 20 students were shortlisted after the test, with some more added after a separate test was conducted for those who missed the test. Every interview round was an elimination round. In the end around 5 students were left, out of which three were recruited.
General Tips: 1. Thoroughly know your data structures: Simple questions like reversing the linked list etc. should be on the top of your mind.
2. Be proficient in C, and at least one object oriented language Cpp or Java. Be prepared to answer which one you prefer and why.
3. Practice logic questions: Some logic questions are frequently used by the companies like the ropes measuring time question etc. If possible practice them before hand. Reduces the element of surprise.
4. Carry your charger, water and some eatables along. The process is long and tedious. Mine carried our for the entire day and you will have to be present in the T and P for the entire duration. Do not miss the ppt. They say a lot of things about the company which will help you in the HR round. Prepare in networks and OS apart from Data Structures as it is a cloud based company.
Exhausting. The process was lengthy and tedious.
Skill Tips: Books: Cracking the Coding Interview,C Programming By Dennis Ritchie, Cpp By Stratstroup, computer networks by Tannenbaum, Operating Systems by Galvin,Algorithms By Cormen
Online Sources: GeeksForGeeks, Glassdoor, SPOJ, Codechef.
Aptitude Papers: Ask the people from the campuses they have already visited for their recruitment process. This gives you a general idea about the aptitude questions as well.

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.

So the technical interview was nice for me.

2 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: The process started with the PPT, which was for an hour. It was helpful attending the PPT as you could really understand the job profile and the company.
The test was right after the PPT for which more than 200 people appeared. It was an aptitude and verbal test, 52 questions, 60 minutes, +3 for correct answer, -1 for wrong answer. There was space on the paper to write a short paragraph about yourself as well. The test was very difficult and the paper was very lengthy. Many couldn't attempt more than 20 questions. I attempted around 25. So accuracy and choosing the right questions was vital. About 40 students made the cut to the interview rounds.
General Tips: Be clear on which profile you are interested in. For Product Development, revise some of the 8th to 10th standard topics in Maths and Science. For Business Associate, refer to Ace your Case or any Case Study interview book. Go through some marketing and sales basics. They looked for confidence and good communication skills. They asked about your internships and experiences too. Having a good resume is very important.
Read as much as possible about the company from their website, Quora, Glassdoors, etc. It can be really helpful in impressing your interviewer.
It was a long process because of the number of candidates to be interviewed. I had to wait from 3:30 pm to 6:15 for my interview and the results came out 10:45 pm. It is important to keep your spirits up and keep calm.
Skill Tips: Since they offered two profiles, Business Development Associate and Product Development Associate, you had to mention your preference on the paper. Your interview was based on your preference. For Product Development Associate, they asked simple 8th to 10th standard topics to be explained in an interesting manner (since their product was an educational one).
For Business Development Associate they asked simple business cases.
General aptitude and verbal was helpful. Practice is key to getting that accuracy.
