I got placed in Polaris hosted by our college on 19th of July 2006 i am sending the questions i got along with this. Totally 2080 attended in that 170 short listed in the first round and 63 selected finally.

There are four sections in the first round:(60 minutes)

1. Technical (C programming, Microprocessor, general computer concepts) ---- 20

2. Logical Reasoning ---- 5

3. Aptitude (mostly from R.S.Agarwal) ---- 30

4. Antonyoms (From Brarrons Gre guide) ---- 5

I will give you the questions I remember section wise.
