How do I crack the SAP interview?

Cracking SAP Labs interview, especially as a fresh grad is pretty easy as they mostly look for fundamental Computer science knowledge and test you in Data structures, Databases – SQL and the various languages and projects you’ve worked on during your engineering.

Generally, the process consists of 4–5 rounds:

• Online Technical Round -> It will contain MCQ questions on Aptitude, Program I/P,O/P type questions and few on OS, DBMS as well 2–3 coding questions. This is were the mass elimination happens. Trick is to focus more on Coding questions as they carry a higher weightage as compared to MCQ’s.
• 2–3 Face to Face Technical rounds -> It will be panel of 2–3 interviewers asking questions on DS, OS, Databases, SQL queries and about your projects. Make sure you know your projects and resume inside-out as most of the questions will be fired from there only.
• Managerial Round -> This will be with one of managers from SAP Labs and they will test your managerial, communication, behavioural and team work skills. He/She might also ask some puzzles as well, so make sure to go through some of the most commonly asked interview puzzles beforehand.
• HR Round -> No prep required. Just be calm, keep a smiling face and you’ll sail through.

Once you clear all the rounds, the final result will be announced either on the same day OR the next day.

I hope on campus interview is what you are talking about.

Firstly its a 5 round procedure for full time employment and 2 round for only internship . So plan accordingly.

For round 1 : Basic coding questions are answered so do refer to the past year questions asked as on geeksforgeeks and glassdoor. Simple aptitude is also the part of round(25 ques in 25 min).

round 2 and 3: Technical interview : Be thorough with data-structures and Java. Basically they try to grill you. If you see a panel dont get surprised.

Round 4: Managerial: This interview tests your managerial skills and your team skills. If you have some team based projects do mention them.

Round 5: HR: This round is basically the easiest of all. Try to reach till this round.
