Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: An aptitude test which was followed by three rounds of technical interviews and finally the HR interview.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Snapdeal offered placements for 5 students (3 from CS and 2 from IT).
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: Snapdeal is more focussed on Data structures and object oriented technology.
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.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Round 1: Online coding and aptitude test Section
Total time : 60 minutes
Questions{Marks} = 50(+1,-0.5)
Comments : * A few questions on Permutations and Combination and general aptitude * A few questions on Computer Networks and Operating Systems * Many C++ output questions, mainly on OOP * Questions are quite stimulating and these need proper time management, the idea of the concepts need to be at the tip of the tongue ("literaly")
Section 2:
Total Marks : 150
Total questions : 2 ( 100 + 50 )
Programming Languages allowed : All common PLs
Platform : HackerEarth Questions are easy but may require long codes. The output should be properly formatted.Not much algorithms Some 30 people get shortlisted for the interviews, consisting of maximum 4 rounds ( 3 tech + 1 HR).All interviews are elimination rounds
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: ( Tech interview-1):
* Mainly questions on the knowledge of C
* Trust me, one must be really an expert in C syntax, and you must know in and out of C
* Questions on pointers and bit wise arithmetic asked
* Some questions on Operating systems also asked( and these were really thought worthy, like how are interrupt handlers stored )
* Some resume based questions
(Tech interview-2) : Some 15 were shortlisted
*Mainly questions on algorithms
*Really tough questions , on trees and arrays, almost in the Microsoft level
*Should be optimized as possible.
*They describe one of their product, and then ask questions on how to solve some problems.
(Tech interview-3) Some 6 were shortlisted
Selection Procedure
* Interview by the Citrix India R&D Vice-President of Tech division
* Involves mainly resume based questions
* Most questions on Networks and TCP/IP
* Puzzles are also asked.
* You may get chocolates also in this round
Round: HR Interview
Experience: If you get here, it means you are 90% selected(unless you screw it really bad, by saying things like you don't know the company,etc ) *Standard question - Why Citrix ? *They mainly discuss what profile will be offered, and about the compensation and so on.
General Tips: I don't think I have any. In fact I had no aspirations initially to get into this company.In fact I too came to know about the company on the day I got selected into it :p
The only thing I can say is practice. Strengthen your networking and OS concepts Even though you don't need to be in the leader board of CodeChef for this company, you may want to know decent coding, atleast to make it to the interviews.
It was challenging and equally rewarding. I felt that this was a really friendly interview series, and they are quite accommodating and flexible in their questions. Infact even if you miss a question or two, don't worry.
Skill Tips: Forouzan - Data Communication and Networking ,C++ by Djarne Stroustrup HackerEarth and HackerRank Coding Focus more on Networking and OS if you want to get into this company, they don't focus on much of algorithms, since they don't want coders since it is a R&D profile.

2 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: PRE PLACEMENT OFFER
Experience: Interns (both CS and IT) were selected in my third year. Pre-placement offers were rolled out to 16 of us which was roughly a conversion ratio of 1:3. A couple of ECE hires were added when SRI-B visited campus later.
General Tips: If you're in CS or IT, this is the only format your resume should be in: -----
Take your internship seriously. Have fun and all but also get your project done. It's not the end of the world if you don't get a PPO. Campus placements are tension-filled, no doubt, but a lot of people get equally good if not better jobs after missing out on PPOs.
Make sure you talk to your manager about the PPO process. She will be the one giving you your final review. So ensure that she knows you want the job. Prepare a fancy presentation for the HR. By fancy, I mean slick and professional. Think Apple, not flashy Microsofty graphics and stupid word art.
Skill Tips: Google GSAT (Global Samsung Aptitude Test) a week before the test and make sure you practice some similar CAT type questions. Questions are of medium difficulty and time management is a real issue (most of us were unable to finish properly). - I didn't have to use these but I've heard good things about codechef/topCoder and books such as Cracking the Coding Interview by Gayle Laakmann McDowell.
