Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I prepared a single resume but changed my areas of interest while applying in different companies. For instance while applying in Samsung Electronics I wrote about my strengths in data structures and various programming languages. I had a long list of extra-curricular activities under my belt; I made sure to select a handful of relevant activities and mentioned them in my resume.

Round: Test
Experience: I had prepared for the CAT examination, for this I had joined a coaching class where we were given extensive practice of aptitude related questions which helped me a lot for the written tests.
First round was the written test. There were two tests, one was the aptitude test and the other was programming test. The former was simple, but the later was a little difficult. The programming test was based completely on C programming language. The questions asked were mainly from classes, objects and functions. In some of the questions they had given a complete code and we had to predict the output. The test was of half an hour duration. There were no questions on data structures and we were clearly told at the beginning of the test that knowledge of data structures is not must, but possessing the same could be beneficial in one’s bid to get a job in the company.
The aptitude test paper was easy and was divided into two sections, data interpretation and logical reasoning. There were 50 questions to be answered in 50 minutes.
Since the profile was open only for CS, EE and EC students there were not many students who appeared for the test. Around 60 to 70 students appeared for the test and 15 to 16 qualified for the next round.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: For the preparation of HR interviews I collected a set of questions and prepared my answers to them. I collected these questions from the internet. A few more questions on the same lines were also asked. While framing answers to these questions I added certain experiences of my life to add a personal touch.The questions asked in the interview were mainly technical. One of the interviewers asked me to explain the principles of C programming. He asked to write down the complete code of a string related problem and then asked me to do the same using classes. One more question that I vaguely remember being asked was about swapping of digits.
They next asked me a puzzle. In the puzzle I was asked to divide a rectangle into 9 equal pieces.
They also enquired whether I had designed any software or done any work in networking sector. I replied with a no, but I did tell them that I had studied DSP.
They did not ask me a lot of HR questions, but they did enquire about my family background. They also asked me whether I’d be ok if I were to be posted in Bangalore.
Tips: Before the interview we were given an HR form, in the form there was question in which we had to specify the technologies that we were interested in. Make sure that you answer this question with complete honesty because they do ask you questions based on this.

College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Samsung came to our campus with numerous profile. This profile basically required knowledge of basic electronics. They were up for people who had done something related to electronics which would be a project or a robotics event.
