Schlumberger shortlisted 200 candidates based on resume and CGPA for an intern Online Assessment (OA).

Online Assessment: The OA consisted of Java understanding (10 challenges, 10 min), Java Code Output (10 snippets, 10 min), and Coding Questions (2 questions, remaining time). The coding questions involved converting decimal numbers to binary and identifying Fibonacci numbers. The candidate found the tests quite easy. 55 candidates were selected for the next stage.

Round 1 (Group Discussion - GD): Candidates were grouped in sets of ten to debate topics. The candidate's topic was "social media is a Boon or a Bane". Communication, critical thinking, and teamwork skills were scrutinized. The top three from each group were selected.

Round 2 (Technical Interview): The interviewer asked the candidate to write code to transform "SHWETA" into "S_H_W_E_T_A" and to remove duplicates from an array. The candidate found these questions easy and answered them all. Unfortunately, the candidate was not selected for Round 3.

Tips: The candidate advises knowing your resume very well, preparing core subjects thoroughly, always verbalizing your thought process, and acknowledging that luck plays a role.
