Placement Paper / Aptitude Test:
The Test had 60 questions. Duration was 60 minutes. Fifty Percent of the questions were based on Technical subjects Data Structures and Computer Networks. Only 8 Questions were on Proper Quant's subjects like Pipes, Time and work etc. The paper contained 10-15 Analytic questions.
Essay Writing was the last topic for which 10 minutes extra were given. It occurred to us that what you wrote in the essay didn't matter. They were just checking grammar and punctuation. Most of us couldn't finish the essay and wrote only 10-15 lines.
Interview Experience:
They gave all of us 2 programs. Everyone got different programs but most of them had 2 programs in common.
A) Suppose an array has integers and some are duplicates among them. Write a Program to copy only all the integers such that the new array should not contain multiple occurrences of an integer.
B) Suppose there are 2 arrays, the first array contains {1, 2, 3} second array contains {2, 5, 6}. Print the uncommon integers present in the second array by copying it into a new array.
These 2 programs were common for most of the students. Prepare them surely.
Other Questions Asked in the Interview:
90% of questions were based on Data Structures. If you tell them your favorite subject is anything other than C, C++, JAVA or DS then they will ask a maximum of 1/2 questions on it and then shift to DS or C programming questions. So either way, you have to prepare DS and a programming language thoroughly. They ask a few questions about DBMS too and expect you to write some basic queries.
They told us that there would be 2 Technical Rounds but Only 1 of them was properly technical the other one was more of "tell us why you want this job" and "What would you do for the Company in crisis" round.
HR Round:
It was a mere formality. If you make it through the technical rounds, you are selected.
That's all. Hope this helps someone get the Job :)
