SAP Labs India Interview Experience

This is regarding the selection process of SAP labs for the 2014 batch.

The process was divided into two main parts
1: Online Test
2: Interviews



Online Test

 It had the following sections:

• Quantitative Aptitude 
• Basic Programming knowledge ( O.O concepts, Output prediction etc )
• English
• Code ( Candidates had to write code for a problem statement )

Most candidates faced problems in the code section so I advice students to Practice writing code, preferably on Online code editors.
