Tech . Interview

My interview was held at 8.:30 of night .there were two person in interview panel. it was approx 45 min. along .

They asked me that wat ‘s my favourite subject ,

As my area of interest is programming , I told him programming in c-language , concepts of data structure and concepts of oops, I convincingly said that sir I m vry comfort with programming.. they asked me algo. of merge sort.. really friend this was the topic which I left because I find it little bit crucial but I made algo which resemble program by my own logic .

I said them that sir I m unable to write standard algo. but I implement the merge sort concept by my own logic, I convenced my whole algo and they impressed by it .

Further they asked abt. avl tree and their rotation ,they give a problem relate to rotation of avl tree and said to peform appropriate rotation to get height balance tree.

Further they asked about binary search and give me array to apply binary search.f

Frther asked that wat scanf function return.

I really forget that I said them sir I forget . they asked is it true, I said yes sir scanf function return something but I m not recalling , in addiotion I said about print function and their return value.

At last they asked a puzzle and I successfully solved it the puzzle is:- there is three basket , one hold apple , other hold orange and third one hold apple orange both. we don’t know in which basket wat is , basket are wrongly labeled means wat is label of basket , basket doesn’t fall in that situation. we are allowed to pick only one fruit from each basket and judge that wat fruit basket hold.

really friends this was vry interactive session. inetialy I was nervous but later I respond vry freely. sometimes I felt that this was not technical interview , this is technical discussion to that person, they are vry friendly. at last they asked u have any question. I asked :-

1. Sir,there is any need to learn and to know abt the company before joining company

they said: we have three month training prog. so u think u have any need to learn

I said:no sir

2) wat is my professional growth in ur company.

3) in which field I have to improve.

HR interview

this was tahen by hr mam and it was abt 15 min. long. she asked me abt my educational background , family background, my strength and weakness,careee objective.

further she asked :honestly said if u r not this field thn in field u might.

I replied: I were a traveler

she asked: why?

I replied: I want to travel whole world , I want to understand the people, their thinking , their behaviour, their culture.

she asked: If u r not selected then wat u will do?

I gave a little smile and replied: no problem mam, I work out on my weakness and try to remove them.

she asked: upto u who is a deservable candidate for my company.

I asked: mam included me or except me.

she said: except u.

I picke name of my batch mate who was also appearing in the interview.

she asked: why?

I explained lots of skils of them. it is so niece for me that he is also selected .

Little bit question on my exta curricular activities and hobby.

so friend prepare abt ur technical knowledge , they were seeking only a technical and logical brain person while they were less emphasizing on communication.

At 11:30 of night result was declared and I was among the selected candidate.

ALL THE BEST < we wll meet at global logic>

ATRENTA

2007-08-13T23:46:00.000+05:30

atrenta - open to coe and ece - cutoff %age = 75% (came down to 74) for both branches

three sections in the paper - all 3 to be done (10 or 15 ques in each i thnk) - but 2 of these are weighted more

so if ur coe - 1st and 3rd sections = double weightage and 2nd = normal
if ur in ece - 2nd and 3rd sec = double and 1st = normal

first - coe based stuff - programming, error detection, output, algo - general stuff - nothing deep

second - ece based stuff - all the bloody OPAMPS and transistors (usually coe guys hate this stuff)

third - analytics - CAT based maths - reasonong and puzzle and math problem solving

atrenta gives very high weightage internally to this 3rd section - they are looking for minds with reasoning and analytical approach to problem solving - so if u crack the 3rd section completely (which is quite easy to do from a normal guys point of view with 75%), and score well in the respective category (as in either coe or ece), u have a high chance of getting thru

PAPER PATTERN

This pattern below is for computer science (CS) students only. There was another set of paper for MECH branch students.

Section 1:This section had only technical question. They were mainly from Pointers in C, C++, Data Structures and some questions on OS, DBMS.This section also had lots of question on bit conversions (HEX to Binary, decimal) and one question on finding 2's compliment and such others. There were few questions on finding TRUE/FALSE statement which was bit confusing. Question to calculate square root, cube root of a number were also included.
Overall, this section was easy if you are good with your basics. The questions were mainly around the basic concepts only.
Each question had four options (A, B, C, D) and we had to find the most appropriate answer. Each correct answer carries 2 marks and there is a negative marking of 1 for each wrong answer. So be careful while attempting these questions.

Section 2:This had only general English questions. No book will help you to answer these questions; instead you should have good knowledge of grammar and different English works.
There was a paragraph with some blanks in between. So we had to find the appropriate words to fill in, from the given options. Other questions included comprehension, synonyms, proverbs type question and others.
This section needs some intelligent guessing as you feel that all of the given options are correct and sometimes all are wrong.
Each correct answer carries 1 mark and there is a negative mark of 0.5.

PATTERN

Computer science branch students had 4 sections to
answer:
1 .General aptitude (simple - easier than RSAgarwal)
Q-11. was wrong it was relating to some fatal relationship. the other's were number sequencing,
GRE analogies, antonyms (abt. 10 q's). totally about 50 q's
2 .Microcontroller 8086 (basics only,some q's like max. unsigned number in 8086 ans = power16 ) there were some small codes you need to tracae.
3 .'c' was simple, there were some stubs o/p was to be traced. there was one bit wise 'or'
problem
4 .I felt this the toughest (Java/C++/OSconcepts) Java and C++ were general questions, no progs. and os was easy. (i guess i got just 40 % right in this section)

What Should NOT Be On Your Resume!!

2007-06-03T00:05:00.000+05:30

In our eagerness to obtain an interview, we sometimes have a tendency to provide a prospective employer with inappropriate information that would be detrimental to us, resulting in both a loss of interest and an interview.

Keep in mind that a prospective employer, who must review 200 to 400 resumes for an advertised position, is busy and has to rule out or disqualify all but a handful of those resumes in an attempt to find only qualified candidates. If he or she can't easily find what they are looking for immediately (in 20 seconds), it probably will get discarded. In order to avoid having your resume land in the "round file," here are a few hints.

· Avoid nicknames, using your business name and middle initial.

· Don't try to impress or insult the employer with fancy words as you may frustrate them and perhaps have your resume rejected.

· Never include personal information such as age, race, gender, height, weight, religion, national origin, marital status, children, health, physical appearance, or a photograph of yourself.

· Do not handwrite your resume. Typewriters are fine, but a computer and printer should be used if possible. Be sure to use tabs instead of the space bar when typing.

· In your Objective, never tell an employer what YOU expect out of a job -- only what you can contribute. Keep in mind that it's not up to the employer to motivate you and present challenges

. it's up to YOU. If you mention in your objective that you wish to advance within the
organization, this could work against you in that the position for which you are interviewing may be a dead-end job.

· If using a Profile, don't include the same information listed on the resume. When listing your current and past employers, omit street names, zip codes, telephone numbers, and the names of supervisors. You really shouldn't go back any further than 10 to 15 years regarding employment, unless it is directly related to the position for which you are applying.

· When listing job duties, don't use sentences or paragraphs, as you don't want to be too wordy and bore the reader. Instead, use bullets without punctuation, maintaining consistency throughout.

· Don't eliminate a previously held job just because it doesn't relate to your career goal. You don't need to elaborate -- just mention it -- as you don't want a gap in employment.

· Never divulge the reasons why you left each place of employment nor your availability to begin working for the company -- both of which should be discussed in the interview.

· Don't place Education before Employment unless you are a current or soon to be graduate or have received your degree within the last two years, unless your education relates to the position for which you are applying. Don't include your GPA unless it is at least 3.0 or higher.

· Salary or wage should never be mentioned until an offer is presented at the interview and only if brought up by the prospective employer. The only exceptions would be if salary history or requirements are mentioned in the ad, in which case you need to follow the directions given.

· Hobbies and personal interests should be omitted unless they represent your career goal, such as "golfer" for a position at a golf course.

· Never list your references or the words "references furnished upon request" as this is an insult to the prospective employer's intelligence. Of course you will provide these if he or she requests them -- which wouldn't be until after your interview. So why give them information they may not need?

· Don't forget to put your name on the second page, in case it separates from the first page.

· Don't use cheap paper, carbons or onionskin. Don't use wild or bright colors for your resumes, as you want to remain conservative andbusiness-like.

· Upon completion of your resume, have your copies professionally reproduced -- not on a copy machine.

· Don't submit a resume longer than two pages. Never print on two sides of the same paper.

· Make sure there are no typographical or grammatical errors, erasures, white outs, scratched out or rewritten text, and that your paper isn't dirty, ripped, ink-marked, stained or wrinkled. Check that your verb tense is proper, using past and present tense when appropriate.

· To keep the professional image, it is suggested that you don't staple your resume.

· Prior to sending your resume, check to see if you placed adequate postage on your envelope and put a return address on it.

· Don't forget to include a cover letter with your resume as this is expected in the business world.

Keep in mind that you are marketing yourself with your resume. Be creative, honest and assertive. Before you mail your resume, review it one last time. Then ask yourself this question, "If I am a prospective employer, and I just read my resume, would I hire me?"

total time:90 min.
The paper was totally on the pattern of Bank PO exam. There were no ques of shakuntala devi or george summers...

PAPER ON 28th JANUARY AT DELHI

There was 3 sections-
English usage,
Logical Reasoning and
arithmetic n data interpretation

There were in total 150 q's, having 50 q's from each sections. All Q's were easy.

Time limit : 90 mins

Before going to venue, just read out the instructions given on the site, coz there was lot of confusions. I did keep with me the specimen answer sheet.

Section 1: English usage

In this there was a paragrap, nearly 400 words, about regularization of banking acts. On basis of this para there was q's . These are as follows-

--> 10 direct q's relataed to para

--> 3 Synoyms(Contemporay, Resilence etc.)

--> 3 Antonyms

--> 9 q's were based on fill in d blanks which was nothing bt, about Development and Education in Punjab and U.P.

on an average all d synonyms n antonyms were very easy and day to day conversational use. These synonyms and antonyms were given in bold in d para.

While solving this type of para plz keep in mind that one time reading with better comprehension is nt only helpful, bt u have to use regression. Remaining 25 q's were based on finding out grammatical error(u can see in any cat/ mat preparartion book). some were diifficult.

In this section i did only 23 q's.

Section 2 : Reasoning

--> 1 caselet based sitting arrangement(5-6 q's)

--> 5 q's based on Blood Relation(if A+B stands for A is father of B , A-B stands for Ais bro of B......... then what is A-B*c so on )

--> 5 q's based on critical resoning(like all banana's are mango, some mangoes are chilli then conclude...)

--> 4-5 q's based on series. In this you have to find out odd one in he series.

--> Some on coding decoding

--> Some were slightly different. These were like -- 5 different nos were given and said that 1 is added to the first digit of all numbers and 1 is subtracted from the middle digit. then Find out the second largest n so on.

--> Some were Data Sufficiency

Suggestion: For seies go through Mitra's Book Quicker maths.

Section 3 : Arithmetic

In this topic on which Q's were based, is as -

1. Probab -- 5 q's, in this q like--- there are different balls in a bag as3-green, 5-blue, 7-red. 6-black then find out the probab of getting 2 red balls, gtting at least 1 gren ball while picking up 3 balls n so on.

2. Series Comletion- 5 q

3. Simplification-10-12 q, as (1) if 12.48 / ? / 56.4 = 12.3 then find ? and so on

4. Compound Interest -1q (Direct Formula)

5. Trains speed-1q as, A train crosses a platform of length double of its length, in 30 sec. Find speed of train.(Ans- can not determined)

6. Data Interpretation- 15 q, 2tables and 1 pie chart, vey easy just calculation basis.

Do as much as possible Bank po sets, there is nothing bt all depends on UR CALCULATION SPEED.

Technical questions

2007-05-27T19:07:00.000+05:30

1. How are devices represented in UNIX?

All devices are represented by files called special files that are located in/dev directory. Thus, device files and other files are named and accessed in the same way. A 'regular file' is just an ordinary data file in the disk. A 'block special file' represents a device with characteristics similar to a disk (data transfer in terms of blocks). A 'character special file' represents a device with characteristics similar to a keyboard (data transfer is by stream of bits in sequential order).

2. What is 'inode'?

All UNIX files have its description stored in a structure called 'inode'. The inode contains info about the file-size, its location, time of last access, time of last modification, permission and so on. Directories are also represented as files and have an associated inode. In addition to descriptions about the file, the inode contains pointers to the data blocks of the file. If the file is large, inode has indirect pointer to a block of pointers to additional data blocks (this further aggregates for larger files). A block is typically 8k.

Inode consists of the following fields:

Ø File owner identifier

Ø File type

Ø File access permissions

Ø File access times

Ø Number of links

Ø File size

Ø Location of the file data

3. Brief about the directory representation in UNIX

A Unix directory is a file containing a correspondence between filenames and inodes. A directory is a special file that the kernel maintains. Only kernel modifies directories, but processes can read directories. The contents of a directory are a list of filename and inode number pairs. When new directories are created, kernel makes two entries named '.' (refers to the directory itself) and '..' (refers to parent directory).

System call for creating directory is mkdir (pathname, mode).

4. What are the Unix system calls for I/O?

Ø open(pathname,flag,mode) - open file

Ø creat(pathname,mode) - create file

Ø close(filedes) - close an open file

Ø read(filedes,buffer,bytes) - read data from an open file

Ø write(filedes,buffer,bytes) - write data to an open file

Ø lseek(filedes,offset,from) - position an open file

Ø dup(filedes) - duplicate an existing file descriptor

Ø dup2(oldfd,newfd) - duplicate to a desired file descriptor

Ø fcntl(filedes,cmd,arg) - change properties of an open file

Ø ioctl(filedes,request,arg) - change the behaviour of an open file

The difference between fcntl anf ioctl is that the former is intended for any open file, while the latter is for device-specific operations.

5. How do you change File Access Permissions?

Every file has following attributes:

Ø owner's user ID ( 16 bit integer )

Ø owner's group ID ( 16 bit integer )

Ø File access mode word

'r w x -r w x- r w x'

(user permission-group permission-others permission)

r-read, w-write, x-execute

To change the access mode, we use chmod(filename,mode).

Example 1:

To change mode of myfile to 'rw-rw-r--' (ie. read, write permission for user - read,write permission for group - only read permission for others) we give the args as:

chmod(myfile,0664) .

Each operation is represented by discrete values

'r' is 4

'w' is 2

'x' is 1

Therefore, for 'rw' the value is 6(4+2).

Example 2:

To change mode of myfile to 'rwxr--r--' we give the args as:

chmod(myfile,0744).

6. What are links and symbolic links in UNIX file system?

A link is a second name (not a file) for a file. Links can be used to assign more than one name to a file, but cannot be used to assign a directory more than one name or link filenames on different computers.

Symbolic link 'is' a file that only contains the name of another file.Operation on the symbolic link is directed to the file pointed by the it.Both the limitations of links are eliminated in symbolic links.

Commands for linking files are:

Link ln filename1 filename2

Symbolic link ln -s filename1 filename2

7. What is a FIFO?

FIFO are otherwise called as 'named pipes'. FIFO (first-in-first-out) is a special file which is said to be data transient. Once data is read from named pipe, it cannot be read again. Also, data can be read only in the order written. It is used in interprocess communication where a process writes to one end of the pipe (producer) and the other reads from the other end (consumer).

8. How do you create special files like named pipes and device files?

The system call mknod creates special files in the following sequence.

1. kernel assigns new inode,

2. sets the file type to indicate that the file is a pipe, directory or special file,

3. If it is a device file, it makes the other entries like major, minor device numbers.

For example:

If the device is a disk, major device number refers to the disk controller and minor device number is the disk.

9. Discuss the mount and unmount system calls

The privileged mount system call is used to attach a file system to a directory of another file system; the unmount system call detaches a file system. When you mount another file system on to your directory, you are essentially splicing one directory tree onto a branch in another directory tree. The first argument to mount call is the mount point, that is , a directory in the current file naming system. The second argument is the file system to mount to that point. When you insert a cdrom to your unix system's drive, the file system in the cdrom automatically mounts to /dev/cdrom in your system.

10. How does the inode map to data block of a file?

Inode has 13 block addresses. The first 10 are direct block addresses of the first 10 data blocks in the file. The 11th address points to a one-level index block. The 12th address points to a two-level (double in-direction) index block. The 13th address points to a three-level(triple in-direction)index block. This provides a very large maximum file size with efficient access to large files, but also small files are accessed directly in one disk read.

Do's & Dont's

2007-05-27T18:36:00.000+05:30

Interview DOs

1. Dress appropriately for the industry; err on the side of being conservative to show you take the interview seriously. Your personal grooming and cleanliness should be impeccable.

2. Know the exact time and location of your interview; know how long it takes to get there, park, find a rest room to freshen up, etc.

3. Arrive early; 10 minutes prior to the interview start time.

4. Treat other people you encounter with courtesy and respect. Their opinions of you might be solicited during hiring decisions.

5. Offer a firm handshake, make eye contact, and have a friendly expression when you are greeted by your interviewer.

6. Listen to be sure you understand your interviewer's name and the correct pronunciation.

7. Even when your interviewer gives you a first and last name, address your interviewer by title (Ms., Mr., Dr.) and last name,until invited to do otherwise.

8. Maintain good eye contact during the interview.

9. Sit still in your seat; avoid fidgeting and slouching.

10. Respond to questions and back up your statements about yourself with specific examples whenever possible.

11. Ask for clarification if you don't understand a question.

12. Be thorough in your responses, while being concise in your wording.

13. Be honest and be yourself. Dishonesty gets discovered and is grounds for withdrawing job offers and for firing. You want a good match between yourself and your employer. If you get hired by acting like someone other than yourself, you and your employer will both be unhappy.

14. Treat the interview seriously and as though you are truly interested in the employer and the opportunity presented.

15. Exhibit a positive attitude. The interviewer is evaluating you as a potential co-worker. Behave like someone you would want to work with.

16. Have intelligent questions prepared to ask the interviewer. Having done your research about the employer in advance, ask questions which you did not find answered in your research.

17. When the interviewer concludes the interview, offer a firm handshake and make eye contact. Depart gracefully.

Interview DON'Ts

1 Don't make excuses. Take responsibility for your decisions and your actions.

2 Don't make negative comments about previous employers or professors (or others).

3 Don't falsify application materials or answers to interview questions.

4 Don't treat the interview casually, as if you are just shopping around or doing the interview for practice. This is an insult to the interviewer and to the organization.

5 Don't give the impression that you are only interested in an organization because of its geographic location.

6 Don't give the impression you are only interested in salary; don't ask about salary and benefits issues until the subject is brought up by your interviewer.

7 Don't act as though you would take any job or are desperate for employment.

8 Don't make the interviewer guess what type of work you are interested in; it is not the interviewer's job to act as a career advisor to you.

9 Don't be unprepared for typical interview questions. You may not be asked all of them in every interview, but being unprepared looks foolish.

10 A job search can be hard work and involve frustrations; don't exhibit frustrations or a negative attitude in an interview.

11 Don't go to extremes with your posture; don't slouch, and don't sit rigidly on the edge of your chair.

12 Don't assume that a female interviewer is "Mrs." or "Miss." Address her as "Ms." unless told otherwise. Her marital status is irrelevant to the purpose of the interview.

13 Don't chew gum or smell like smoke.

14 Don't allow your cell phone to sound during the interview. (If it does, apologize quickly and ignore it.) Don't take a cell phone call.

15 Don't take your parents, your pet (an assistance animal is not a pet in this circumstance), spouse, fiance, friends or enemies to an interview. If you are not grown up and independent enough to attend an interview alone, you're insufficiently grown up and independent for a job. (They can certainly visit your new city, at their own expense, but cannot attend your interview.)

WIPRO PAPER ON 28th APRIL AT RAJKOT

1400 Students appeared in it and only 40 got selected. So I m feeling really great to be amongst those lucky 40 gems..!!

The Entire test procedure was like this...
[1] APTITUDE TEST
- VERBAL TEST (15 Questions)
- QUANTITATIVE TEST (15 Questions)
- TECHNICAL TEST (20 Questions)

[2] TECHNICAL INTERVIEW
[3] H.R. INTERVIEW

[1] APTUTUDE TEST (9:45 am-10:45am)
-VERBAL TEST (15 Questions)

U need a very strong VOCABULARY to clear the Verbal Section. I suggest you to refer GRE BARRONS for it. Prepare all the HIGH FREQUENCY WORDS FROM BARRONS.
IT IS MUST. OTHERWISE NON-ENGLISH MEDIUM STUDENTS WILL SUFFER A LOT.

They ask questions like:
*Identify the INAPPROPRIATE WORD from the words given below
(1) Procedure (2) Continuity (3) Perseverance (4) Pause

*I think Three grammatical Questions were there.
*Find most APPROPRIATE WORD for the given sentence from the given choices.

In short IMPROVE YOUR VOCABULARY…THAT’S THE KEY TO SUCCESS.

-QUANTITATIVE TEST
Refer R.S .Agrawal for this though I had not referred any book for maths because I am very comfortable at maths and reasoning and it was very easy for me to clear maths paper. I remember that there were examples of stream, time and work, probability etc…

-TECHNICAL PAPER
Here the paper is based totally on C language and OS. I belong to EC branch. So I am not
much into programming. In fact I m zero at programming yet I found some questions easy which were related to Linux and OS. So I could only answer 5 questions correctly but as the cut off for non cs-it students is usualy very low in wipro as 5-6 marks, I cleared the technical paper also. In questions related to C, I had no idea about the answers in technical test. As I was sure that my
5 answers were correct, I planned a strategy and ticked the option (B) in all remaining questions..!!! And Bingo..!!! It worked..!!

After the test, the results were announced at 1:00pm and yes…!!!!!!!!! My name was announced in it..!!!!!!!! 150 cleared the aptitude test out of 1400. Then there was ppt from Wipro officials. Package is 2.5 to 2.7 lacs.

And I believe that "Flexibility" must be there within us to progress in life.

TI: (Very much Impressed by my answer.) So if I put u at Kochi, Will u join Wipro..?
ME: Why not sir...Definitely I will join at any location of Wipro in India.

TI: Why are u so much sacrificing to join Wipro..?

HR: Show me ur resume and tell me the bond of wipro.

WIPRO PAPER ON 21st APRIL

1.Aptitude
2.Technical
3. HR

1. APTITUDE (50 questions in 60 min)
A. VERBAL 15 questions
B. (QUANTI + LOGICAL) 15 questions
C. TECHNICAL 20 questions (little bit difficult for me, as I am from mech.side)

VERBAL:
Verbal part will be very easy for the people who are good in communication. I dint go through
any book for verbal part. It consisted of a passage and 4 questions were asked from that passage. It will be easy only for those who good in grammar. Two or three fill in the blanks, Antonyms, Meaning of a phrase or an Idiom.. It will be easy…………

QUANTI + LOGICAL (15 QUESTIONS)

LOOK FROM 15 PROBLEMS I GOT 8 EXACTLY WRITE, & DON’T KNOW ABOUT REMAINING 7 QUES. AS THERE IS SECTIONAL CUT OF DON’T WASTE TIME TO SOLVE ALL 15, JUST SOLVE 8 TO 9 PROB. EXACTLY WRITE , I DON’T KNOW EXACT CUT OF BUT IT WONT BE GREATER THAN 8. Problems will consume time to solve, so don’t lose hopes….. It’s best if you have a lot of practice in solving various types of questions. Even if you haven’t, don’t worry too much. Just believe in yourself, stick to the basic.

TECHNICAL: For comp. & IT students:

All my friends from comp. said that 6 to 7 ques were very easy. I can’t tell u more about Tech. as I am from mechanical side…….ur cutoff was 12. for this section

Mech /prod/ECT/CIVIL guys : Don’t worry, tech. cut off for us is 5 to 6.so if u r good at c,c++,unix,DS…..then its ok, if not its ur responsibility to got 5 ques right. So No Need to worry about technical section.

After crossing the barrier of written test there was Technical Interview, Around 5 panels were there. The second session that is tech interview really required very much care from us...because most of them are eliminated here, do worry all the things depend upon the panel that u get..... thank god ....mine was a cool panel....i was the in 3rd panel…..

Following are some tips for technical interview , go through it , it will really help u to clear this round.

1. All boys (specially mech/prod), In wipro PROJECT is considered one of the major factor to clear tech. round.

Look , during tech. round , ur interviewer will have one form in which there are 3 columns, one of them is project , he write 10 ( marks ) in that column after explaining project to him , I know that many of mech / prod boys had not done any project until now, as its not in our syllabus in

3 rd year, but u will have to make fake project in front of him, & don’t forget to right something about ur project. I said that I made one car model of chesis 20*20 & it works on 12 v c moter blab la bla ……for 15 min. ( impressed with my project….)

So be prepared with ur project explanations ….

Don’t take it lightly…………

2. for CSE/IT students : BE PREAPRED WITH UR TECH. KNOWLEDGE……

for NON IT STUD. : JUST GO THROUGH ALL BASIC KNOWLEDGE…..OF UR BRANCH……

.& LITTLE ABOUT C ……….

SPECIALLY MECH ROD GUYS :

1 THERMODYNAMICS( 4 LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS ..1ST , 2 ND , 3 RD & ZEROTH

LAW)….HE ASKED ME ALL 4 LAWS THOUGH HE WAS FROM CSE SIDE.

2 ANY CURRENT YEAR SUB.

3. IC INGINES ( ONLY 2 STROKE & 4 STROKE , NO NEED TO GO IN DEEP)

4. TOM
5. READY WITH ANS. WHAT DO U KNOW ABOUT C OR C ++ ?TELL HIM ALL BASICS

LIKE WHAT IS FUNCTION OF

1.COMPILER

2. WHAT IS USE OF ARRAY

3. USE OF FUNTIONS , STUCTURES

FOR EX. ABOUT ARRAY TOLD HIM THAT ARRAY CAN STORE MULTIPLE VALUES OF SAME DATA TYPE……THEN GO FOR STRUC….& THEN POINTER.

3 ITS VERY IMP FOR ALL BRANCH GUYS :

FOR TECH. INTE. AT LEAST THEIR WILL BE 5 PANELS, SO ASK ALL BOYS

About their experience , and also very imp . which panel interviewer is very friendly…..? & taking most of boys ?

Because at our campus,their were 5 panels, out of which interviewer taking inter. In 1 st panel not even selected 1 student for HR . …

i asked about 10 to 15 guys before my int. about their experience, and on that basis I convinced volunteer , that I want to go in 3 rd panel . ,first he (volunteer) said that its not in my hand to send u in 3 rd panel (as interviewer in that panel selected almost all boys..), but actually it s not like that , all depends on volunteer he can easily send to u as per ur convenience , so convince him , as I did.

Don’t worry , am not very good at technical.....being an avg student i gave answers but not perfect one. though i told those things with confidence and without any tension.....Finally he gave me the HR form and gave me marks in the interview.

After tech. int. u will have to fill HR FORM.

FILL IT VERY PROPERLY & MINDFULLY, BECAUSE HR WILL ASK U QUES ON THE BASIS OF THAT FORM,

Following are some common ques. , be prered with ans. Of these que., its time to imperess HR MAN.

1. Tell us about yourself, your family background.
2. Why should WIPRO hire you?
3. UR HOBBIES ?

4 STRENGHS & WEAKNESS . ?

in this HR will ask u to give me exact situation … ex in strengths I had written 1 . fast Lerner so she asked me to exact situ. & same with my weakness ?

so prepare it well.

HR MAY ASK WHAT U R DOING TO CONVERT UR WEAKNESS TO STRENGTH. ?

FOR NON IT ( SPEC. FOR MECH )

5. WHY U WANTS TO COME IN THIS FIELD ?

WHILE ANSWERING THIS QUES I told that from child hood I was having interest in comp. field……. But didn’t got comp. because of more compition ?

My 2 nd preference was mechanical …..bla bla bla ……..

Also told her that these days it is booming …… so their r lots of opportunities r their in this field …….bla bla bla …….

6 career objective ?( tell as it is what u had written in resume )

7.she also asked me why uptill now u have not got placed…….in any other company ?

don’t fake that its my first company…..

8. how do u see urself 5 yrs 4m now. ?( ur ans should be in way that hr will feel that u wants to make long relations with company. )

…….because she knows that how many company Up till now had taken campus…..

in ur college so I told her that I had given appti test of 2 congni. & m& m

But not even cracked appti . Test ………..

She asked me why?

I said that I have not prepared for aptti. Test, & felt that I will clear it …..

This time I prepared for appti. So cracked this time….

& said that “ to see stars u will have to go in dark first “ impressed with my ans….

Look these r some common ques …….so prepare it well.. Its totally depend on this ques. Whether to select u r not?

They are not looking at ur ans…….they wants see how u r ans these ques…. Wants to check ur confidence level….

Tip: Just prepare your resume strictly...they will try u mingle..but b straight forward n don't write any thing u don't know..

So you see...all that matter in the end in how well we present ourselves n tackle the questions....cos each interview's thinking is different...we can anticipate what q's they'll ask...whatever it may be ans in cool n confident way....success will be yours..

SYNTEL PAPER ON 24th MARCH AT NAGPUR

WRITTEN TEST
I will be explaining the paper details now.......first of all, the pattern was like this

There r two section Reasoning & Verbal total 40 marks
Reasoning --25 verbal--- 15
CUTOFF --13 --- 8

Note: The paper was little bit tougher than the other comp….if the competition will more they’ll extend the cutoff in the last……BUT MOST IMP THING IS THAT IF U HAVE GOOD PERCENTAGE IN 10TH ,12TH AND IN ENGG (CGPA) U WILL GET THE BETTER ADVANTAGE THAN OTHER. Because most of my friend also cleared the apti test but they were not short listed due to the less %age in 10th ,12th & in engg…But I was the university 2nd topper and I have good %age in 10th and 12th and in engg (80,79,70) I was being short listed for interview…

There are mainly two interviews first is TI and another is HR.
The TI is little bit tougher than HR….if u have cleared Ur TI by full confidence….ur chances for selections will Inc...Friendssssss be cool & confident at the time of interview….and before going to the interview don’t forget to take Xerox of each and every mark sheet and two passport photo….otherwise they give u tension at the main time of interview…

Technical interview:
Please may I get in sir….

Off Campus Written Test conducted at Bangalore
The test comprises of 2 sections:
1. Technical ( C ) & Technical Subject- 60 mins, 60 questions
2. Logical Reasoning.. - 30 mins,17 questions....

==> Questions in C were mostly from "pointers in c" and "test ur C skills" by Yeshwant Kanetkar... C questions based on command line arguments, data structure ( BST, tree traversals). All the questions were like " what is the output of the following program segment" and in many questions 3rd and 4th choices were (c) compilation error and (d) compilation, warning, runtime error.... Heard they are asking abt- ptr, string, arr, preprocessor, data structures etc.. C test was pretty ok pass by value, pass by reference etc. questions were asked The general test was pretty tough, they ask u fourier transforms,harmonics,Barkhuasen criterion,virtual memory,Whether FIFO is better than LRU etc. 4 questions were from fourier transforms the duration was 60 mins and no negative marking

C basics 10 questions ,very easy.Given a program and asked the output-type questons.from pointers 3-4 questions are there. 2)reg subject:very very easy:some from digital(on nand gates. Jk flip flop),from Information theory and coding,some from Micro processors.

In Logical Reasoning all the 17 questions were paragraphs (argument) of 5 to 6 sentences...five sentences (choices) will be given below and questions were asked like " which of the five if true will weaken or supports the argument above .." :- R. S. Agrawal LR is sufficient

SASKEN PAPER HELD ON 9th AUG at 2:30pm
--------------------------------------------------------------

The questions were like this.
------------------------------
The text consists of two parts
1) C test
2) CSE01 Test
Duration: 1hr
---------------------------------------------------------------
1) C test -10 questions- Some questions were as follows, remember only a few.
a) What is the parameter passing mechanism to Macros Called?
b) void func(int x,int y)
{
x=3;
y=2;
}
main()
{
int i;
func(i,i);
print(i);
}
If the output must be 2 what is the parameter passing mechanism called?
c) which of the following code will swap the two numbers? -3 choices was given
d) which of the following is illegal for the program?
main()
{
char const *p='p';
}
1)p++ 2) *p++ 3)(*p)++ 4) all
e) what is the output of the following program
void print(int ** arr)
{
print("0 %f, 1 %f, 2 %f ",arr[0][0],arr[0][1],arr[0][2]);
}
main()
{
int a[][]={ {1,2,3},
{4,5,6}
}
int ** arr=a;
print(arr);
arr++;
print(arr);
}
f) which of the following code swaps the two numbers.
- 4 choices were given
g) if the string " this is a " is present in the code of a function such as 'void func(void)' where
will the variable stored in the memory.
a) in the stack b) heap c) code or text segment as per implementation d) created when func is called, stored in function stack space and destroyed as it goes out .

2) CSE01-15 questions
In this section there was question from LD-gates, JK flip flop, sampling rate and few other
then there was a few from OS - don't remember the questions.

INTERVIEW

In the interview, they asked about Stacks, Queues, Linked lists, Binary Trees.

Few questions I remember are:
1) If u have a linked list library, how do u design stack and queue using it; write pseudocode.
2) What are static variables and functions?
3) Write code in C to count the number of 1s in a character (1byte).
4) What is pre-order, post-order, in-order; write code to print post-order.
5) Can u construct a binary tree given its inorder and postorder details. Is it neccessary or sufficient to construct tree. Asked an example to do in both ways.
6) If recursion is not used to print post order, what other data structure u use
(ans: Stack).
7)Can u use stack always in place of recursion?
(ans: Yes)
8) What are meta characters?
9) Write a piece of code to insert a node in a linked list.
10) About malloc.
11) About Operating System - Semaphores
12) About Computability (eg:- finding infinite loop), Complexity of algorithms
13) What does compiler and assembler do?

They asked grep command in Linux. How do u search '\n', using grep, in a file.
They may ask some other commands if u say u r familiar and recently been using linux.
About Networks? OSI reference model.
what does transport layer do?
TCP belongs to which layer?
IP belongs to which layer?
Where is error correction done?
What is a connection oriented/ connection less transmission?
What is meant by reliable transmission protocol? why is it called so?
What is flow control and where it is done?
About ur project?
Asked me expalin about the project in brief.
If u don't know anything, say it sincerely. U cannot bluff them. I too spoke to them sincerely.
They were cool. U need not get tensed. They won't attack you. Just they want to know ur hold about the subject.

Next Paper
NOTE : Answer May Not be Accurate So Get An Idea of Questions.

Interview [For CS students]

There is Tech as well as HR interview. Tech interview
is the important one.
Tech interview questions

They will ask about the project.They will ask general
questions about it and most probably will not go into
the implementation part of it.So one must have a
general idea about the project done.
Interview is mainly based on Data Structures.Some
questions are as follows:-
- What is a tree,its application,order for
insertion,deletion and traversal with worst case
analysis.
- What is a graph,its application.
- Height of a tree
- Balanced tree and how to balance a tree
- Minimum Spanning Tree
- Dijikstra's, Prim algorithms
- Define a structure for a linked list.
- Binary search and its analysis
- Heap sort and its analysis
- What is a heap and its application
- Cache and its working
- Memory(IO mapped)
- Recursive fns and types, its adv and disadv.
- Compiler(grammar)
*****C debugging questions like
(1)What is the problem with the following code
int * f(int a)
{
int i;
i=a;
return(&i);
}
Ans-> We can't return address of auto variable as it
is allocation is made in stack which is deallocated
when the function returns.
(2)
a.h b.c c.c d.c
int i=0 #include"a.h" #include"a.h" extern int
i;void main{.....}
| | |
b.o c.o d.o
Compilation Phase
Linked to get exe.
Will there be any problem in any phase.If yes then
where and what?
In linking phase as there will be multiple declaration
of i.
*****You will be told to write some code like
(1)To find string length by using recursive function.
(2)To find fibonaci series by using recursive
function.
(3)To write code for malloc so that allocation may be
made fastly.
(4)Write a fn prototype which return a pointer which
points to an array of 10 ints.

Thats the reason they have lower cutoffs for each section. Portion - 1)Ratios - proportions 2)percentage 3)profit and loss 4)clocks 5)direction problems...and few other topics from RS aggarwal i would suggest you guys to go through RS aggarwal. If you have given CAT exams before then it wont be much of a problem. But time mgmt is the key. Fortunately,there is no negative marking. Attempt those Qs which you are confident of getting right.

Then you know what to do.."intelligent guessing"(it worked in my case) english- its quite simple. If you are comfortable with english then i dont see any reason why you shouldnt crack this section..but they are smart enough to keep you engaged in maths section so that you dont get time for this section..so again....time mgmt is really impt.. they ask you simple grammar Qs...and comprehension..its quite lengthy.

GD - candidates - 41 we were divided in groups of 10. we were given a simple topic -"love marraiges Vs arranged marraiges" two of the judges were dead against my views..and kept on grilling me for 15 mins in the middle of discussion...(thats when i knew that i will be selected). they declared the result in 5 mins.

interview - candidates about 20 They called us for the interview in a weeks time. for me it was more on JAVA,c++,project mgmt.
