General Tips: Don't try to over emphasize the correctness of your logic if the interviewer finds a glitch. It irritates him. Be interactive in your HR round. In our case it was the VP of Oracle India who took the final round. So I asked him about his experience in the company. He was very happy to share it with me. But asses your interviewer before you put forth these queries cause your interviewer might not be as jolly as mine was.

Round: Test
Experience: Oracle consisted of an initial aptitude test followed by two rounds of technical interviews, one managerial interview and a final HR round. The company utilised the intermediary rounds as the elimination rounds.

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."

For data structures, online materials are excellent and in case of OOPS concepts, stronghold in either C++ or java programming language is necessary.
