Oracle Placement Experience & Process for Freshers - 2016

Oracle is a public based multinational company, headquartered in Redwood Shores, California. It visited our college in Jamshedpur for recruitment of Application Developer and Associate Consultant.

It was a pool campus recruitment, for both NIT Jamshedpur and BIT Mesra. Around 700 students came for the placement.

They conducted a PPT (Pre Placement Talk) in which they introduced the company and its work. It was for almost one and half hour.

Then they put forward the eligibility criteria needed to us.

It was open for circuital branch and Mechanical in non-circuital branch.

The selection process was held in three steps:

1. Online Test
2. Technical Interview
3. HR Interview

1. Online Test

The online test questions given by the panel were same for both - Application Developer and Associate Consultant. The questions consisted of aptitude and coding sections. Students had to attempt all the questions.

The sections in aptitude were Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning and English (antonyms & synonyms, fill in the blanks, spot the error and conversion of active-passive & vice-versa).

Also, there was seperate section for Reading Comprehension which consisted of two long passages.

Coding consisted of Data Structures, Flow Charts, DBMS and Java.

Students who performed well in coding were selected for Application Developer and those in aptitude were chosen for Associate Consultant.

Some were short listed for both the posts, but later they were asked their choice of preferred post.

Approximately 450 candidates were selected.
