Samsung India

1. Application and resume shortlisting

Candidates apply through campus placements, the Samsung careers portal or employee referrals, with resumes shortlisted based on academic performance, relevant coursework and skills matched to the specific engineering or business opening.

2. Online coding or aptitude test

Engineering candidates typically take an online coding round of about two to three hours with one or more programming problems on data structures and algorithms, while business and support roles may face a quantitative aptitude and logical reasoning test instead.

3. Technical interview 1

An interviewer asks core computer science questions on data structures, operating systems, computer networks and databases, along with a discussion of academic projects, internships and the fundamentals behind your resume.

4. Technical interview 2

A second, often deeper technical round revisits your resume and projects, adds real-world problem statements grounded in Samsung's products, and may include a system design or applied engineering discussion for more experienced candidates.

5. Managerial or bar-raiser discussion

For some roles, a senior engineer or manager holds an additional round to assess ownership, depth in your chosen specialisation, and how you would perform within a large, cross-functional R&D team.

6. HR interview and offer

The final round covers your background, motivation for joining Samsung, willingness to relocate, family considerations and compensation expectations, before HR shares the formal offer and joining timeline.

Samsung India's interview process typically runs over two to four weeks for engineering roles, with three to five rounds overall depending on seniority and whether the role sits in R&D, manufacturing or a business function.

Round 1: Online coding or aptitude test

A timed online test, usually two to three hours, includes one or more coding problems for engineering roles, or quantitative aptitude and logical reasoning for business roles, and is used to shortlist candidates for interviews.

• Data structures and algorithm problems
• Quantitative aptitude and logical reasoning for non-technical roles

Round 2: Technical interview 1

This round focuses on core computer science fundamentals and how you apply them in practice, along with a detailed walkthrough of academic or internship projects listed on your resume.

• Data structures, operating systems and DBMS basics
• Explaining a project from your resume in depth

Round 3: Technical interview 2

A second technical round goes deeper into problem-solving, sometimes including a mini system design or applied engineering scenario relevant to Samsung's mobile, appliance or semiconductor-adjacent products.

• Designing a feature for a mobile or IoT product
• Real-life problem-solving questions based on your domain

Round 4: Managerial or bar-raiser round

A senior engineer or manager checks ownership, depth of specialisation and communication, particularly for experienced hires or roles in Samsung's larger R&D teams.

• Describe a challenging technical decision you made
• How you would mentor a junior engineer

Round 5: HR interview

The concluding round covers your background, reasons for wanting to join Samsung, willingness to relocate to Noida or other locations, and compensation expectations.

• Tell me about yourself and why Samsung
• Salary expectations and joining timeline
