IIT Delhi Placement Procedure / IIT Placement scenario
Normally in all IIT's the procedure is same. First of all we need register in our training and placement portal if we intend to sit for placements. Then we are asked to make our resume in the portal. Then a resume verification step is done by the authorities to check that there is nothing fake in your resume. In case if you are found guilty then you might be debarred from placements. Once this step is done, normally from September Mid companies start coming to the campus for their coding rounds. The coding rounds are held from September Mid to November 30th. No tests are carried out during class timings, IIT's are too much strict about academics. All tests are held after classes, i.e. 6pm onwards and on holidays. There is a secret group in facebook, inter iit/nit/iiit, all past years questions are there in that group. Just solve all of them that's it. Questions will be getting repeated for sure. 90% take their test on hackerrank platform, some on hackerearth, amazon and microsoft have shifted to mettl platform, samsung has it's own platform, google on cocubes, directi on interviewbit.
If your coding round goes well then you are shortlisted for the Interviews. The shortlist results generally comes out after November 15th. The Interviews are scheduled from December 1st to 15th. December 1st is the famous so called Day 1, then comes Day 2 and so on. Each Day has 2 slots. Slot 1 and Slot 2. Slot 1 is from 8am to 2pm. Results come out at around 3pm. Slot 2 is from 4pm to 10pm. Results come out at around 11pm. There are some policies and rules if a company doesn't make a choice within the given time span. In that case the students gets choice to select between multiple offers on the next slot. Once a offer is made, regardless of either you accept or reject you are out of the placement procedure. So the TNP guarantees an offer but not a placement !!!
Each company gets around 1-2 hours per candidate to do the interviews. So it's a very hectic procedure for the students. Really stressed out things happen in the mean while. Running from here to there. It becomes a complete fish market where you are the fish !!! People have come to buy you at the best. All the CS students get placed within the first 4-5 days. If any students still remains unoffered after December 15 then a second round of placement activities start from January mid to January end. The companies in each slot are decided by the TNP members, faculties and students. Lot of factors like compensation offered, student preference, past relationship with IIT and other IIT's are taken care of and then slots are alloted based on these parameter. You have to set your preferences before the start of the slot. If you forget then system will randomly set your preference and you have to abide by that.
Lastly it's really easier to get placed here at IIT. Just few hours of Interviews and you are done. Getting a job offcampus is really difficult and time taking. So if you ever get a chance then just go for it guys !!! Good Luck !!!

Interview Experience Day 1 Slot 1 IIT Delhi Placements
I was shortlisted for Sprinklr and Intel.
Sprinklr Interview Experience:-
The HR guy seemed to be in a hurry. He asked me find median of 2 sorted arrays. So i did it in the most optimal way. But he got confused and messed me up !!! He wanted me to come up with naive approach.
Advise :- Don't go to optimal directly even if you know. The HR people are really dubass without any indepth knowledge.
Then he asked me how to find median of unsorted array. I said about the median of median algorithm which gives O(n) optimal complexity. Again he was furious at me. He said you should say that you with sort and return me the answer, O(nlogn) time. I was really annoyed. He then said we would let you know and went with his phone.
I really didn't like the interview process at all. Very poor !!!
Intel Interview Experience:-
They offered me 22lpa , but profile was of hardware. So i took a minute, convinced myself and rejected the offer. At this point of time i knew that i was moving to slot 2 as i wasn't shortlisted for any other companies.
Now i came out, looked at the sky. Said to god, "Anything for me dear lord?"...
Believe it or not, at the next very moment one of my friends called me and said, what the hell are you doing here. You are shortlisted in Wells Fargo. Go fast!!! they are looking for you.
Well Fargo Interview Experience:-
I waited there for almost 1 hour before the first round begun. They gave a technical case study type question. I gave a greedy approach and luckily that was the right answer too. Then he asked me system design questions and all. I answered all of them. i was liking this HR guy. he was humble, polite and nice. In the end he said, " i genuinely like talking to you, you are awesome". Then even though they had already hired the required number of people, he opened the doors for me. He talked with other higher authorities and made sure i got interviewed with further rounds. It took me 1.5 hours to wait there. In the mean while a lady HR accompanied me and we had chat about the process, family and all. Then my behavioural round was scheduled. They asked qns about project, strengths, weaknesses and all. I was quite fluent in english, so that helped. They wanted a good communicating guy afterall as the base office quarters extends to USA. Next i was scheduled with another round of technical interview, where he asked me OS related questions, like synchronisation, monitors, locks and all. I knew about those in depth from IIT-D professors. So i cleared that round like a charm. Then last round was just for formality. Finally they gave me the offer and a awesome headset too. I was really fascinated and over joyed. I liked the interview process. Nice people !!! My friend Gaurav said they had selected you from round 2 itself. Round 3 was just for formality sake !!! They took pictures and then gaurav and me returned with smiles on our face.
Advise:- Be honest !!! Don't fake put things.
