My First Interview experience at SAP Labs- Second Technical Round

When I went for Zummah prayer,I thought it is a golden opportunity for me that today is Zumma.I can beg to my Allah that if this company is good for me then placed me today itself.I begged again and again that please my Allah you help me.I know I am not the best but if you want to give me no one can take it from me and if you don't wanna give me than no one can give me.After I came from Zumma prayer I went directly to TnP department where I met with our PR Vineeth.He told me that they have selected you for second round you fill this form.I filled the form and he asked me "Do you have photo with you?"

I nodded "yeah".

he told you just give me photo and form after filling this I will staple it.

 He again asked "Had your lunch.?"

I said "No."

He told that go and have your lunch and come back before 2 o'clock.
I nodded "OK".

When I was going for my lunch what were the feelings in my heart you can't even imagine.I was selected for second round.I was so happy.I went directly to my mess and had lunch.After that I went to TnP department again.Then we had to wait in GD room.I sat in GD room and were discussing about second round.

              Now my turn came. I went for second round.Sir who has taken our PPT yesterday he was sitting on a chair.I entered in interviewer's room after asking "May I come in sir?"

 He nodded "Yeah, Please come in".

"Can I sit sir?" I added.

"Yeah sure" he replied.
"So how was  your written test and first interview?" He continued.
I answered "More than average Sir."

Now he asked next question which was common for me "Tell me something interesting about yourself? 

I prepared yesterday night only this question when I was checking their website where I found one project "Lakshya".which currently targeting 1,00,000 students to give them free computer education. 

So I started "Sir your interest and my interest is almost same.I mean I also have the same idea in my mind.You told in PPT that you are having one project lakshya where you want to give computer basic education to 1,00,000 students.

                  I also want to do this work in my village.I am from village.During Summer Vacation this time I am going to start Free Computer Education in my village.where I can teach Website development, Software Development using Programming Languages like C,C++. So those students who has passed 10th and 12th and having laptop or PC and wasting their useful time just watching movies or doing Facebook.So why should not I spread free education in my village to students who has caliber can get benefit from this and may be will do something good for my village. "

Then he asked "If after that they will waste their time then?"

I replied "Sir,I will give them some home work.So they will be doing their homework rather than watching movies. If after that they are not doing it and wasting their time then it is not my fault.I tried my best."

Then he started asking question from my resume.

He asked "Why did you write basic of C++ here?"

I replied "Sir if I would write I am efficient in C++ then you will be asking some question but I am not efficient in C++."

He interrupted in between "efficient means?"

I replied "Sir,actually I didn't solve so many problems in real life.I read some basic concepts.But I am not much confident on it."

He nodded "OK".

I was surprised that how I am so confident.I was so fluent in English too.I was surprised but something was happening very nice.I made eye contact every time when I spoke.

He asked next question "Why do we use CSS?"

I replied "Sir,in CSS we can style our webpage.we can do coloring."

He interrupted "That I can do in HTML too.Why CSS?" 
I replied “Sir in HTML we have to write a long code for doing this. In CSS we can write it in a short manner. “

Sir again denied my effort saying “But I have enough time I can write long code. Even if I will learn CSS in 2-3 days that I can use in HTML so I can complete it in same time or even faster.” 

“Sir In CSS we can make separate file. So if we want to change in code separately we can do in a file.” I tried a new alternative.

“But I have search and replace. I can use search to find out the exact code and I can replace directly.Why CSS?” again he denied my answer to check how many alternative I have.

“Sir, then I don’t know” I surrendered.

“Think a little.”  He wanted to get at least one more alternative.

I lowered my gaze and tried to get one more alternative but couldn’t get it.

I told “Sir, I don’t know”. But I was confident to saying even I don't know. Because if we don’t know then we should directly accept it.

That I learned a day before from my friends.

Now he scanned my resume once again and asked "What was your contribution in your mini project?"

I started explaining about my mini project which I by hearten last night only. 

he interrupted me and again gave stress on his question.    "What was your contribution?" 

"Sir,we all were sitting together and did coding." I tried to save myself.

But he again stressed on same question."What was your contribution?"

Sir,I was not leader.Leader was Syed meraj.

He asked "who?" I said " Sir,Syed meraj Ashraf. He was leader."
"So what was your contribution?"

I thought now he want some specific answer.So I replied with full confident.

"Sir,In project sometimes we got stuck at some point.We also got stuck in next button.(I remembered the scene when our project leader meraj was saying that yar it took 15-20 days to implement next button. We were not getting idea how to implement next button.)

I used that point here and told with full confidence "Sir I solved that problem."

He asked with surprise "You solved that problem? What was the solution?"

I read code.So I knew this thing.I told "Sir,If we want next song then we can do song = song+1;

if we want to repeat the song then there is one class repeat() we have to put song name in to it.It will repeat the song."

Now he was satisfied with my answer or may be with my confidence. He said  "OK".

Now he asked "What do you think about DBMS?"

"Sir,Actually I did 2 out of my 3 projects in DBMS itself.But recently I didn't study." I replied.

He again asked a very nice question whose answer was not with me. "But you have written DBMS in your area of interest? If you have interest than you should keep in touch with this.right?"

I started giving excuse.He stopped me in between and asked "just say Yes or No?"

I replied "Yes sir. sure"(I don't know why I added this "sure" in last but I remember I added )

"what about this ShareFile.com?" He continued.

"Sir,I was leader in this project."

"Is this hosted?"

"Yeah sir but on our NITC server not on internet.Actually sir we have athena server in NITC where we can host." He didn't ask more question from this may be because he has asked questions related to HTML and CSS.

He asked "Have you heard about stored procedure."

I forbade directly "NO,Sir." 

Now he again scanned my resume.He started this time with Postgres SQL.

"Who founded Postgres SQL.?" He added.

"Sir,I don't know.Actually in our college we are using Postgres SQL." 

"So you never checked license or terms ?"

"NO, Sir.I don't know.But if you will give me chance to guess.Then It's Oracle." I replied.

May be one or 2 question I forgot but then in last he said. 

"Do you have any question?" 

now I was confident and repeated same question.

 "Sir tell me what are the areas which I can improve?"

"That I won't tell you.Just ask your faculties and colleagues. Any Other question?"

"Sir,I don't want to ask any question I want to say you some thing that your PPT was nice.May be it was because our interest matches that's why." I appreciated his work.

"OK,Thanks and best of luck." He ended with these words.
 When I heard these words I thought that I am going to next round.

Then I left the interviewer's room. But I was so happy at that time.
