Hi Friends

I went Polaris Lab Gurgaon on 18 Nov for a Offcampus (1.5 years to 5 years) for C/UNIX

As i entered thier arena it was a feeling in its own to be there so well maintained and Good infrastructure on first sight you would be prody coz its Local!! company a indian MNC.

I reached there at 9:20 am had to wait for 10 mints then they called up to us in a training type of room. They gave use two papers as it was mainly C/unix opening so quite obviously it was from C and Unix. 31 questions combinedly 50% cut-off no negative marking so please attend All questions they are friendly people will help you for every query.

Start your test you have lots of time behind you 50 mints or 1 hour dont worry because paper is not so hard or lenghty

C Paper (16 questions)

3. pointer to array
4. macro (#define)
5. static data type scope

3. sed find combine
