Hi Friends
APTITUDE (1 hour)
Three parts:
Mathematical 15 ques
English 10 ques
Logical 10 ques
35 ques in all.
The test was offline (hand written)
The test was before pre placement talk. Therefore, be early on the day of interview, it was on the spot rescheduling. Be careful. Don\'t take risk. Don\'t ever be late on that day.
Mathematical: it was of medium level. The questions consisted partnership, C.I., S.I., ....
a. x% of y is y% of what..?
Ans: x
b. if a is r% more than b then how much % is b less than a ?
ans: not r itself, it is (r/(r+100))*100
c. a person goes to puck fruits in a garden. he passes three gates. He plucks some fruits and while coming back, he gives half of what he has plucked to the watchman at each gate and in return the watchman gives one fruit back. This repeats at all the three gates and the person finds that he is left with the same no. of fruits what he had plucked. Now find how many fruits did the person pluck?
Ans: 2.
d. Person a sold 2 apples for 50 p (big sized)
Person b sold 3 apples for 50p (small sized) . after a while, b goes away. "a" mixes all apples and sells 5 apples for 1 rupee. When b comes back, he found that there were short of money by 3.50. how much loss has "a" actually incurred? (question is similar but not same..) answer not known.
English: quite easily. Fill up the blanks type of ques.
Logical: finding fourth no., a b c d ..series.., code words i.e., if Sydney is coded as concav, then what is America coded as? Six or eight persons sitting in circle,.. type of problems. There were 10 rows and 10 cols, children were made to stand height wise, ...some similar problem.
Before aptitude, we had to write a paragraph of 8 to 10 lines, about a given topic for 10 minutes.
Our topic: how has your college enabled your career?
GROUP DISCUSSION:
1. Remixes of songs, justified or not?
2. Is China a treat to Indian IT field
3. Indian cricket..
4. Joint families..
They first asked us to introduce ourselves in the order we were sitting Then each had to give their opinion about the topic for 30 secs, again in the same order. Then 10 mins, the actual gd took place. Lastly, we had to summarize or conclude, again each one in the order.
TECHNICAL ROUND:
It was very easy, I was asked about : Pointers ( *c and * * c - how to dereference, initialize, their meaning..)
Data structs: stacks queues and linked list, their principal, how to add an element in linked list,
Swaping of two no.s without using third variable, ans: a=a+b, b+a-b,a=a-b
Pass by value and pass by reference
For loop, for infinite looping (just syntax) Hybrid inheritance and virtual functions, the virtual table concept. Very easy just be confident, and have a positive attitude.
HR ROUND:
Be cautious in this round; do not show any attitude u may be eliminated. When they ask u a negative question, u need to answer positively.
For example, when asked about weakness, u should convert one of your strengths to weakness and answer. For e.g.: "I am not convinced very easily.." may be one such
Another example would be, if they ask you to tell any defects in their placement process, u can suggest them to have a logical or puzzles based round, or a programming round, rather than giving a negative answer like saying this particular round was not good or so.
ALL THE BEST.. DO WELL..
Out of 180 students who took the exam, 53 were selected finally.
