Advice from candidates

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

• I revised all the concepts related to OOPS and C++ programming language. I focussed on refreshing my understanding on OOPS principles, such as Encapsulation, Inheritance, Abstraction, along with suitable examples. Despite the limited preparation time I had due to the interview being scheduled the day after the shortlisting announcement, I remained committed to maximizing the available time and ensuring thorough preparation. Despite the time constraint, I made every effort to be well-prepared and confident for the upcoming interview.

  preparation · 2022

• Have a firm grasp of your technical knowledge, programming capabilities, and coding talents. If you are fluent in the C/C++ programming languages, you will almost certainly be asked to write codes as part of your coding round.

  general · 2022

• If you are aiming to secure placement at SIEMENS, start solving puzzle-based questions ahead of time. They just judge you on your approach, rather than the solution.

  interview · 2022

• If you opt for C++ as your preferred programming language, it is highly recommended to thoroughly familiarize yourself with two key areas: file handling and object-oriented programming (OOPS) concepts.
