Round 1 Coding Round Time Duration : 45 minutes Number of Questions : 2 The coding questions were easy: The sum of elements at odd indices in an array Arrange the first k elements of an array in ascending order and the rest in descending order The questions were presented in scenario-based formats, where understanding the question properly was key to arriving at these solutions. After a few days, the selected students received an email for registration on the SAP Labs portal. I was among those selected.
