SISO came to my college for a written test and an interview was scheduled later for shortlisted candidates in the Bangalore Samsung office.The first round was written technical in which 20 simple C, C++, JAVA, and DS questions were there. From my college, around 35-40 students were shortlisted for Interviews in Bangalore.


                 

In Bangalore, there were around 150 people from other colleges also. The next round was the Global Samsung aptitude test. The level of Questions was good, especially the Logical reasoning questions. The questions were quite tricky. After that round, they shortlisted around 50 people for the Technical interviews.

Next was technical round (I) in which technical questions from C,C++,DBMS,Software engineering,Networking,Web programming ( HTML,CSS,Javascript,PHP,Python).Basically, they asked for everything you wrote in your resume. As the profile was of Software testing they were looking for logical thinking of students, So they asked a lot of puzzles in C and Puzzles in general.

They also asked about some testing questions such as Black box testing, White Box testing, Regression testing, etc. The interviewer also asked me to think of some test cases for some real-time objects such as Plastic bottles. They basically wanted to check how far and out of the box, you can think. The round went well.

The next round was Technical Interview (II) but it was both technical + HR. He asked some basic questions about web programming, AJAX. Then he asked me about polymorphism, function overloading. operator overloading, Abstract classes, virtual functions, and pure virtual functions. Then he asked me how will I know that the class is an abstract class. After that, he asked me some HR questions like why do you want to join Samsung, why testing, and some more HR questions.

After that round, I was called for the final round of HR interviews. It was very short and he asked me about my family background, my projects, why do I want to join Samsung, and some more HR questions.

Edit: After this interview, I got an offer from Samsung Research India and I joined Samsung within one month I traveled to South Korea.
