I interviewed for Siemens India through campus recruitment at my college. The process took two days.

On the first day, there were two rounds, both online.

• The first round consisted mostly of basic C++ questions, with two to three questions from data structures/algorithms. This was an easy round; most people got through it.
• The second round consisted of Quantitative Aptitude, Verbal Reasoning, and Logical Reasoning. There were twelve questions in each section. The verbal reasoning was pretty easy, and the logical reasoning was basically an IQ test (completing symbol patterns). The quantitative part was tough, with questions primarily on data interpretation.

Luckily, I made it to the next round. About 45 people out of 160 advanced.

The next rounds were on the second day and included a technical interview and an HR interview.

Most people received straightforward questions in the technical round (on data structures and projects from their resumes). My interview went okay; I received questions on operating systems and systems programming. I didn't make it to the HR interview.

Eighteen out of 45 passed the technical interview, and eventually, 12 people received job offers.
