ARICENT PAPER - 27 AUG 2008 - MADURAI

Hai Friends    

   
                  I  want to share with you about my experience of Aricent campus. I was not  shortlisted in written test even I did well. I give u some point about Aricent  and written test ques
   

   
Eligibility criteria:
   
Written  Duration: 1hr 50min
   
follow  GD, Tech & hr interview
   
65% in  subject
   
Branch  (circuit & non-circuit)
   

   
Aricent  is one of the leading multinational company, having their branches at 3 places  for India. They are Bangalore, Chennai & one. It dealing  fully for communications software, Nerworks, and mobile based on Development  and testing. So prepare Computer Networks mainly. Flextronics has been changed  their name to Aricent.
   

   
                  For us small change is made  in their pattern of written test but this pattern may follow u (not sure). So  be careful. In previous pattern totally 7 sections, It changed to 4 sections.  They omit Section1 (English), Section6 (comprehension), section7 (Email  writing).
   

   
Written test:
   

   
Totally 4  sections
   

   Analytical                          30ques 30minMental ability                     30ques       30minData structure                   20ques       20min C, C++ or Java (ur choice)       30ques 40min    

   
Section1: analytical.
   
It is  easy to solve. solve quickly as much u can. So score well
   

   
Section2:  mental ablity
   
u can score more mark in this section. it is  little easy compare to above one.
   
Ques like  identify the correct matching
   
A.if  three same  B.first and second C.first  and third D.none of above
   
a)6673888  b)6673828 c) 6673888
   
around 6  or 8 ques like this.
   

   
Then *  stand for /, / stand for +, - stand for *, like 5 or 6 questions in this two  type first is just one replacing and second is apply to all choice  & identify the correct. Note: don't u do  the second type. it take more time to solve
   

   
2 more set of 4 or 5 questions like applying  for companies with 4 conditions (easy)
   

   
Section3: data structures
   
it's  little bit dough to solve.u must know the basic about datastructure. study sorting, tree(binary tree,), searching and  basics
   

   
1.what is  the ternary operator in following
   
a. *    b.&      c.~      d.?
   

   
2.which  is unary operator that used for addressing
   
a.*     b.!      c.&     d.?
   

   
3.what's  equation for average class analysis of quicksort
   
a.O(n)           b.O(logn)       c.O(2nlogn)    d.O(n2)
   

   
4.same 3rd  question ....with quicksort O(n2)
   
a.O(n)           b.O(logn)       c.O(2nlogn)    d.O(n2)
   

   
5.what  operation & symbol indicate
   
a.bitwise  AND  b.bitwisOR   c.logical AND   d.logicalOR
   

   
6.which  is the worst algorithm in average case analysis?
   
a.mergesort   b.quick sort    c.heapsort     d.bubblesort
   

   
7.In  stack 2,3
   
push()  push()
   
pop()
   
pop()
   
pop()
   
1push()
   
what is the output?
   

   
8.which  has highest priority?
   
Like 4  choice
   
High  priority: $ symbol
   
Medium: *  multiplication , / division
   
Low:  +addition and -subtraction
   

   
High  priority: * multiplication , / division
   
Medium: $  symbol
   
Low:  +addition and -subtraction
   

   
9.what is  sorting?
   

   
10.by  using only 4 nodes, how many form of binary tree can make?
   
a.12    b.14    c.15   d.13
   

   
and some  of binary tree searching  ques
   

   
Section 4: C,C++ or Java (ur choice)
   
i opted for c. few questions are easy but rest  were little bit dough.
   
Prepare  Test ur C skills,tech ebook pdf,.....it's enough to solve.
   
Have a  basic knowledge about programming in c. so do some program through system
   

   
1.main()
   
{
   
int i=32;
   
{
   
int i;
   
for(i=0;i<5;I++)
   
some  operation.......
   
}
   
printf(“%d”,i);
   
}
   
a.5     b.garbage      c.error          d.32
   

   
2.main()
   
{
   
int  a=5,b=6,c=10;
   
c=a==b;
   
printf(“5d”,c);
   
}
   
a.0     b.error          c.1      d.10
   

   
3.int  i,j;
   
int  operate()
   
{
   
}
   
mainI()
   
{
   
} two  varibles can use for both function.what is the name for that varibles?
   
a.local  variable         b.register       c.auto           d.external
   

   
4.int  sample(int i)
   
{
   
int  count=1;
   
printf(%d”,count++);
   
}
   
main()
   
{
   
int i,j;
   
for(i=0,j=5;i<5;i++,j--)
   
samuple(i);
   
printf(“the  element %d and %d”,i,j);
   
}
   
what is  the ouput for last two printf statement?
   

   

   
They  finally give us to write about situation for 6 paragraph with diff situation. they  check ur English.. Write with proper hand writing
   

   
          I gave u almost ques whatever I remember. There  is no need to take preparation for written test.. just having basic in c or C++,  datastructure & basic English knowledge is enough.. but the matter that  preparation on technical is very important...prepare computer networks, C based  on written is I think enough.. I spent totally 5 hours to write this for u  because I couldn't recollect all those things easily. So please make it useful.  ALL THE BEST
   

   
regards
