1. Technical Written Round

30 minutes and 30 questions, totally on Object-Oriented Programming. It was very easy; just brush up your basic concepts. There were around 510 applicants, out of which some 225 students were selected. If you are from a CS or IT background, you're definitely in.

1. Second Written Round

6 minutes and 8 questions on Quantitative Analysis, 6 minutes and 8 questions on Verbal Ability, and 6 minutes and 8 questions on Diagrammatic Analysis. It was difficult due to the time limit. Moreover, each section was further divided into 3 minutes and 4 questions each. Secondly, they shortlisted about 40 out of the remaining 225, which made it even more difficult to get through. Just concentrate and don't panic. Verbal and quants were above average; the diagrammatic part was difficult.

1. Technical Interview

You will be asked your area of interest. I told them Data Structures and was further asked my comfortable zone. I said Linked List and was asked to find the middle element of a linked list of unknown length, to insert a node into a sorted linked list, etc. OOPS concepts were again tested, of which I could not answer only one question. Do go through the OOPS book completely for this interview. It was not that difficult, though.

1. HR Interview

Chill and talk. The HR interviewers are very cool and will just ask you general stuff, such as 'Why Siemens?', 'Tell me something from the past you regret?', 'Where do you see yourself 5 years down the line?', and 'Why you?'. One tip, which applies to every company: wiki and Google everything about the company before the HR interview. Also, do a general mock interview with your friends; it really helps.

Once you clear the written rounds and you are thorough with your basics in 'any' 2 subjects, you will definitely be recruited.

In an HR interview, I was asked: "What is one thing you feel could have stopped you from joining Siemens during the two-day recruiting process?"
