Details of types of questions asked in each of the sections:
There were basically four parts :[Quantitative,C programming,Data Structures and algorithms,Systems]....
Each section has 10 or more multiple choice questions....there was negative marking for each wrong answer, also
there was cutoff for each section.Quantitative section has elementary math question(CAT type).C programming
section has o/p and error type question.Data Structures contains tree traversal and order complexity
question.whereas systems part has question from all the subjects like compilers(Regular Expression and
DFA),communication system,networking,Computer Organization.
I was good in C and Data Structures,so frankly speaking the aptitude test was not very tough except for the
system's part.
Actually aptitude paper was conducted by the forum called "CareerNet ".

Technical Interview

I had two technical interviews, first one was for the elimination[Initially 18 ppl were shortlisted out of which 10 were
eliminated].In the first round they asked me basic questions on C and Operating System...bcoz i applied for
QA(Testing)
they asked me to write the test cases for the function which reverse's a floating point number.Second Interview was
all about OS.... asked me about memory, paging,virtual memory,log files and other stuff...he also asked me to
write a code for something which i dont remember...but i think it was very easy otherwise i would have
remembered it.Also some question were based on my internship at IBM.

HR Interview

I had two HR round...one was HR + Technical..whereas other one was completely HR....in the first HR they asked
to write the test cases for the projector before buying(In other words test whether it is working fine or not)...some
questions on Networking as in how many layers are there...use of each layer..difference between UDP & TCP... and
HR questions like what if i m not happy with my manager??, what would u do if u need hols and your companies
doesn't allow u one??..
Second HR was not very different for the first...they asked whether i will be having any problems if relocated to
some other place.Future plans,Questions on family background...about my preparation for AIEEE..queries regarding
the PPT..

Suggestion

Study basics of DS...OS and C properly...otherwise u will be in a lot of trouble during campus placement..Solve as
many puzzles and DS question from various sites possible(like Orkut and WU puzzles) before sitting for the
interview( as this will provide different ways of how to approach a question)....Practice quant and logical reasoning
question well as these takes lot of time in solving. Also try to solve Test Your Skills in C it will help a lot.. Do revise
your project and internship work before the placements because they may ask question on that.Do not bluff if u
don't know the answer just say i dont know.Also don't disclose any plans of further studies. The main hurdle in
campus placement is to pass the aptitude test, because during interviews many things depends on luck.
So..just work hard and hope for the best...if u don't get selected in one company, don't get nervous there will
another great company waiting for u...ALL THE BEST...

No. of Candidate applied And Points that Worked in Favour

It was a long day..started early morning and went till midnight.They had two profile Developer's and Quality
Assurance...i had applied for QA...After giving the aptitude test i thought i had cracked it.My first interview dint go
that well but luckily i managed to get into the second round.Second interview was good i answered all the question
nicely.
Before sitting for NetApp i had given Adobe's interview so this time i was more confident while facing the HR this
time.
NetApp is a great company and i was lucky enough to get it.
