I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SAP (Bengaluru) in Oct 2011
Interview
I was selected to SAP LABS from campus (PESIT, Bangalore) on October 2011. The cut off required to attend the aptitude test was 7 GPA / 70%. There were a total of 3 rounds.
The first round was an online aptitude round which had 95 questions. There was 90 minutes to answer with sectional timing. The various sections were Verbal, Analytic and Technical. 33 people out of a total of 250 cleared the online round.
Second round was a technical interview and I was asked questions from most of the core CS subjects in my undergrad course. 15 people cleared this round.
Third round was a HR round and it involved me talking about why I wanted to work at SAP LABS. Also I was required to talk about my final project and there was a coding question as well in the HR round. 12 people were give offers from PESIT (and PESSE) .
I found the people to be very nice and friendly and was impressed with the way they went about with the selection process. The culture seemed very relaxed and informal judging by the fact that students dressed in casual T shirts and jeans were also offered jobs. (Some companies like Goldman Sachs required students to come dressed in business casuals for their interview).
Advice to other Candidates: Be technically strong for the aptitude test and in the interview be in a relaxed state and be yourself.

I interviewed at SAP (Walldorf, Baden-Wurttemberg)
Interview
The SAP interview process included an initial screening, technical discussion, problem-solving questions, experience-based conversations, and behavioral assessment, followed by an opportunity to discuss role expectations and ask questions with interviewers.
Interview process was okayish, focused on candidates with AI and RAG skills, if you have built projects you have a chance, otherwise you may be rejected after the online test.
It is an in-person interview, which was smooth and conversational. We discussed my background, reviewed my work, talked through role-related questions, and ended with a clear sense of the team, expectations, and next steps.
