General Tips: Note: In each round :1. They were asking runnable code and were checking each and every corner case by dry run.2. They were asking multiple solutions for a single problem. i.e. they were asking for a better solution until you drop.3. They were giving more then enough time to write the code.

Round: Test
Experience: Written Test:The first round was the written test. There were 8 theoretical questions asked in the paper. The questions were either in the form of puzzles or probability based questions. The first three questions in the paper were compulsory questions and needed to be answered correctly for the rest of your paper to be evaluated; if a particular candidate answered any one of these questions incorrectly then he was rejected then and there. Apart from these 3 questions solving 2 more questions would have assured a candidate’s chance of getting selected for the next round. The duration of the test was of around 40 minutes.
For the written test nearly 200 people appeared out of which 30-40 were shortlisted for the interviews.
Tips: I am extending the helping hand to all my Juniors Hope the present 4rth years[passing out this year] will also do the same and participate in a better and bigger cause.I consulted my seniors for preparation of my resume.

Experience: Interview:
The second round were the personal interview rounds. Before the interview we were handed over a form wherein we were asked to fill in our preference of profile. I filled in both as my preferred profile.1st PI :::
It was a interview round. This round had no definite pattern. Some candidates were asked puzzles and estimation questions (like estimate number of street lamps in your college). Some candidates were asked HR questions based on their resume. For some candidates interview was a mixture of puzzles , estimation questions and HR questions.Interview duration was about 20 minutes.
My questions were ::There are 3 couples (each couple consists of a man and a woman: husband and wife pair) who want to cross a particular river with only one boat available for the voyage. At a time the boat can carry a maximum of 2 people and a woman cannot stay in presence of other male in absence of her husband. All three couples want to cross the river, what are the ways in which this could be done?
There are 2 ropes which burn in 60 minutes. How to measure 45 minutes without cutting any of the ropes?
In the coding questions the interviewers did not ask me to write down the complete codes of the problems, they only asked me to suggest some suitable algorithms. In one of the questions they gave me a binary number and asked me to write down the algorithm to calculate the number of one’s in the binary number.[remember all these cause i have my personal blog . P.S. will let u all know later]2nd PI :::It was also a interview round. In this round candidates were asked some puzzles which you can find in book "How would you move mount Fuji". Candidates were also asked to explain about their summer training project. Major part of interview consisted on questions based on resume and HR questions like Why Snapdeal, Where do you see yourself in next five years, What is your dream job, what is your ultimate goal in life, What is your passion etc. For software profile some technical questions were also asked. Interview duration was about 45 minutes.In second round of interview I was asked some hardcore programming questions on data structures since I wrote it as my area of interest. Some of the questions asked were:What are tree traversals?
What is pre-order and post-order?
If you have an array of ‘n+m’ elements and have these ‘n’ elements separately and you have to transfer these n elements in the n+m element slot which already contains the m elements. The transfer has to be done in such a way that all the m+n elements are sorted.
I was asked some puzzles as well. For instance in one of the puzzles, I was given a square consisting of 9 dots on its periphery; I was asked to join those 9 dots using 4 lines without lifting the pencil.
Tips: Final : we had to wait long before the apple fell on us uups just like Isaac Newton .. I got Selected along with some of my mates . smile emoticon smile emoticon . Hope u people also do well in your future . Best of Luck
