DAY 1 The selection process was split into two days, the first day was for the aptitude and the next day was for the personal interviews. The recruitment process kicked off at sharp 9:15. We first had the pre-placement talk which explained about what the company did and what all services it offers. Technical Aptitude Questions. Strength of students who took this test : 373. The test consisted of 30 questions which was to be answered in 45 minutes. There isn’t any negative marking. All multiple choice questions. There was no coding rounds in it. It was basically like, if a person knows C++ he’s in, else he’s out, 30 questions were purely based on C++, questions ranged from Virtual functions, inheritance, classes, vectors, pointers concepts and to predict the output of a code. I was technically sound enough to clear this round and head on to the next one. almost 50% of the people cleared this round. Analytical Aptitude Questions. Strength of students who took this test : 169. This was more complicated as the entire test was based on time management. The test consisted of 3 sections, Verbal reasoning, Graphical analysis and Diagrammatic Analysis. Verbal reasoning. Consisted of 8 questions which was supposed to be answered in 6 minutes. Standard English comprehension with moderate difficulty. 2 passages with 4 questions each Could complete it easily. Graphical analysis. Consisted of 8 questions which was supposed to be answered in 6 minutes. 2 Graphs with 4 questions each. Moderate difficulty, because it was difficult to analyze one graph in 3 minutes and answer 4 questions based on it(they wanted to test time management skills in this test) Diagrammatic Analysis Consisted of 8 questions which was supposed to be answered in 6 minutes. 2 diagrams with 4 questions each. Probably the toughest of all the sections because it had a lot of parameters which needed to be analyzed. Luckily I was able to clear this round as well. We were all shortlisted and asked to come on the next day for the interviews. only 38 student out of 169 cleared this round. DAY 2 The interviews kicked off at 9:30 am on the next day, there were 6 interview rooms, when my turn came up, I was asked to wait in room 5. The interviewer asked me questions based on my resume and a lot of mathematical questions based on probability, matrices, geometry, etc.(probably because of what I had stated in my resume) He asked me to write a simple program to check if a number is prime or not. He then asked me about myself. I wasn’t satisfied with my answers and thought I wouldn’t clear this round as I was good at technical skills and mathematics wasn’t my strong point, but my communication skill was good and interaction was also good, hence I cleared this round as well. The other rooms had questions from polymorphism, overloading, and a lot of C++ concepts, so I’d suggest you be prepared with all that. Coding questions also were asked in some of the rooms. Out of 38 people 19 people cleared this round. In the HR, I was asked to read a passage and choose the option which was the most appropriate of them all. I answered. He asked me why Siemens, I said that Siemens is an old company with a lot of reputation, and its got the least amount of layoffs when compared to any other company. He asked me about myself, I answered. He asked me about my parents and family, I answered. He asked me to give a photograph, I gave and then he asked me to leave. After another 2 hours the results were announced. And they had selected 16 people. They gave us a brochure and an 8GB pen drive containing videos and pdfs relating to the company.
