      Process at my college : It comprised of 3 stages. First stage was online screening test divided in two halves. First halve had multiple choice questions testing basic knowledge of mostly Data structures and algorithms, and a few question from other areas like operating systems and networks. Second stage was a so called "group-flyer" round. In this stage candidates screened through first stage were divided into groups of 7-10 and each group was made to seat in a different rooms of our tutorial block. Then two programming questions were written on the blackboards of each room and we were asked to write the solution code on the paper and submit. Third stage consisted of usual interview rounds. One had to progress through the rounds. Those who were finally selected had three to four rounds of interviews.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderābād) in Jul 2015

      Interview

      PPO Interview of 2 rounds, 1 technical, and the latter as AA(As Appropriate). Hard technical round, easy AA. Internship manager's comments were helpful. Technical interview was highly unrelated to the project, and also tough. One got the feeling that it was deliberately unrelated to the project. AA round was much more easier, and taking initiatives in drawing out project decks gets more points.

      Write a complete SQL trigger and discuss whether it is optimized.
