Tips: Be calm throughout the interview ,brush up C/C++ basics,pointer(he almost asked whole pointer concept and heap),data structure.Revise TCP/IP and OSI model with protocols.Always be cool and for programming questions always ask every points to write about programming question.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: HR round was just formality very less candidates are eliminated.HR was very nice guy.He ask me about projects i had done and other questions are related to job location,relocation and bond.Always say truth.When i was asked about why you are not placed yet i honestly told that most of the times i was rejected.
Tips: Always be cool  while answering.

General Tips: Always be cool and don't be nervous.Be confident while answering.

Skills: C, C++, Data Structure, SQL , Computer networks, GNU/LINUX, Algorithm
College Name: University Institute of Engineering and Technology Kurukshetra University
Motivation: I had faced many rejection and i advice to my juniors stay focused on competitive programming.Do not lose hope because your core technical knowledge decide your fate.Do not cram the topics.Learn programming on MyCodeSchool,hackerank,TopCoder.
Funny Moments: When interviewer asked about penetration testing which i mentioned on resume then i told him whole process of cracking  his Wi-Fi to get free access to the internet and when asked about can i switch to other domain inspite of software engineering than he told me with smiling face the world is dynamic(i think i explained so well the concept of pointer and heap).
