PATNI PATTERN & INTERVIEW - 26 DEC 2004

  Finally I got my dream job at Patni          Computers. You wont believe it but this was my 20th attempt in any          company.

The test was schedule on 26th dec at mumbai. It was really tough. I dont know how did i manage but i cleared the test. i got 22/40. Gd was on the same day. I had the topic infrastructure building in village. GD was fine they selected 6/11 in GD.

        My interview was Conducted on 9th Jan. My interview was really bad. I          can say u that patni interviews are just unpredictable. Only hr          interview was taken for some of them. Deep technical for some of them.
        Mine was different one. He asked me to was a c prog to reverse a string.          I wrote it and then he asked me to do it with help of pointers.
        I couldn't do it.


        Then he asked me a puzzle. You have 2 sand timer of 7 min and 4 min.          measure 10 min for me. I gave the answer in 3 steps, he said it is          possible in 2 steps, but i couldn't do it. The answer is ---start both          sand timer together. as the 4 min timer ends start noting the time.          there will be 3 min left in 7 min timer. so 3 min and then invert 7 min          timer so 3 + 7 =10 min. Then he asked me to leave. I was really sad bcos inspite of much          preparation my interview was not good. I was not at all expecting the          reply. But miracles really happen.


        Just imagine the happiness of the person trying from 8 months and          getting rejected from 19 companies earlier and getting job into PATNI.
