I was asked to write the code for two questions(one was on sort and search) and was asked the logic of two questions.They asked basics of linked lists, stacks, queues. Infact they were not very interested in the syntax and were pressing on the logic

General Tips: Being a non software branch students is not at all a problem. The company took 4 interns where 3 were from core branches. The fact that we had to work in JAVA and most of us didn't know JAVA, the company only looks for aptitude and ability to learn. So if you don't know anything, tell frankly that you don't know that part, rather than guessing. Be thorough with what you know and confidentially answer all the questions.
Also do not be tensed and take things lightly, if the interviewer is joking. Be candid.
Skill Tips: Learn basics of coding from books . Aptitude can be done from sites likes geeks for geeks, etc. The level of aptitude is not very high and infact the coding aptitude is also theoretical and does not involve in depth knowledge.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Other Interview
Experience: One year since I took the interview, so no idea exactly what questions they asked. But I was asked to write the code on paper in front of him and was asked to debug it. Some puzzles and aptitude questions along with other basic coding questions. It was great that the guy was interactive and started asking about my projects and college life.
Btw the answer to the logical question is: I should say " you will shoot me". Paradoxical.
Tips: Feel free to ask anything that you would like to know from them. Also frankly say that you don't know a certain topic if you have no clue what it is about. They don't like people wasting their time.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This was not exactly a technical interview. He asked me to write a code to find the day of week when a certain date in any year of the calendar is given. I answered it and then he starting asking general questions as to why do u want to join the company, etc.
I gave answers to most of them convincingly. But I kept him engaged by explaining my life at college, the extra curriculars I did at college. Also I asked him about his experience as a software engineer. I asked him to reflect upon his career and how I should approach about my career.
Tips: The best part about HR interviews is they expect you to ask them lots and lots of questions. The more they are engaged, the more are your chances of impressing and getting selected. And more importantly, ask the interviewer about his experience with the present firm. This also works with my manager when ever he has a one on one with me :P
Cheers and all the best.
