Amazon Campus Placements Selection Procedure:

No of Rounds: Screening Test, Aptitude Test, Technical Round-1, Technical Round-2

What you need to know:

There are totally 4 rounds, starting with a screening test followed by aptitude test. Once the shortlist is done the applicants are called for technical interviews (Usually there will be two technical interviews).

Test Pattern:

Aptitude Test: 45 minutes

Total no. of questions	45
Analytical and Logical Reasoning	15
Quantitative questions	30

Apparently questions are not asked on Vocabulary.

Tips for Aptitude:

The questions are quiet easy, refer R. S. Agarwal for aptitude questions.

Be very quick in answering the questions, as time management is very important.

Use the time properly and understand the logic behind the question, in most of the cases unintentionally we misread the question for which we have to suffer later. So be very attentive.

Subjective questions:

1.       10 questions: 30 minutes.

2.       10 questions: 45 minutes.

A decent command on the following topics will put you in a safer end and you can crack the test easily.

Topic	Relevant questions
Algorithm analysis	You may be asked to find the time complexity of a program written in pseudo code.
Microprocessor	Ex: Write a program using 3 registers and 5 to 6 mnemonics.
C-language	You may be asked to write string operations without using standard string operation library functions.
Automata theory	NFA was given to accept bbb and asked to find fsm that will accept aabb. FSM was given to find the no. of strings that it can accept.

The subjective questions were quiet tricky, a good command and prior preparation of the above concepts, might fetch better result.

Key factors to be known:

Time management plays a major role in screening and aptitude tests. Try to solve the easy ones first, to put yourself on safer side.

The cut offs are too high, as the Quantitative aptitude seems to be easy.

Technical & HR Interview:

Usually there will be 4-5 technical rounds which solely depends on the recruitment panel.

Initially interviewer will be focusing on every simple codes written by you in the technical written test and try to find errors. He might also ask few simple algorithms, puzzles, about your previous projects, also they will be providing hints to answer.

In subsequent rounds, the team would be testing your technical skills, domain knowledge, they may ask you to take through your C.V. As you clear the rounds, it becomes tougher and they will be quiet reluctant to help you, as they do in 1^st round.

Here are few experiences shared by students hired by Adobe:

In 4^th and 5^th rounds, they may also focus on how to test an imaging application that removes the red eye affect from an image, test cases of a VOIP phone.

They may focus on problem solving approach, scenario based error investigation. The interviewer will discuss the problem and will try to find out the solution at the same time assessing your problem solving abilities.
