    One account is unsure of platform (guesses another vendor) and duration (2 hours); Unstop and 140 min are the majority. Sections are one-way; question sets vary. About 50 shortlisted by OA, CPI and branch. Replaced an earlier format of one long DSA problem.

    One 45-min and the rest 25 min. Mostly resume based; DSA approaches only (no code) for some, none for others. Questions kept open-ended on purpose. No HR questions reported.

Advice from candidates

29 pieces of advice, in their own words. Names removed.

  • For the OA, thoroughly revise [creator]’s Samsung Practice repository, and focus especially on Dynamic Programming and Graph (BFS/DFS) concepts.

  • I highly recommend reviewing [creator]’s GitHub repository, particularly the problems marked as must-do, as Samsung often repeats these questions.

    online_test · 2025-26

  • Although the interview questions were straightforward, having strong fundamentals in Trees, Graphs, and Dynamic Programming is extremely helpful.
