Placement Papers - Wipro

Hi Friends

This was my second company & luckily bcoz of Gods grace I got placed in Wipro on 12th July 2008 in Bangalore. I actually had not thought of getting into Wipro.. I thought ill just try & it would b a pratice session for me.... so had just taken it very lightly but somehow luckily could clear aptitude test... in selection process there wil b 3 rounds..

1> APTITUDE TEST which consists of 3 sections.. all the sections r compulsory... so give equal importance to all sections because there will b sectional cut off...
those three sections r
QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE
VERBAL SECTION
TECHNICAL SECTION

Give equal importance to al sections in aptitude test... I m stressing this point more.... the questions in Verbal were quite difficult.... so I had to guess the words.. but if u hv r preparing for competitive exams like GRE, CAT... then it will b an added feature to u & u can make it very fast... there wil b passages, analogy, fill in the blanks with corrcet words, identify the wrong sentences & so on.... u must b fast enough... read the passage at the last if u hv time....

then the Quantitative Aptitude section was quite easy & nice... i liked it.... there were questions on mixtures, series, profit& loss, puzzles which r easy, blood relationship,trains, clock, probability...... u hv to do calculations fast.... thats all... do al questions whichever u feel easy first & then try for difficult ones...

Technical was also quite straight forward like output from C program, Unix commands & basics of C, atleast 1 vague question... but u need not bother abt it,...if u r a CS or IS student then u can easily crack it.....

2> TECHNICAL INTERVIEW
My technical interview went on for only abt 8 mins... may be I was lucky...
Sir: tel me abt urself?
Me:i am so & so.... bla bla bla.... i hv secured 84% aggre.....
Sir:which 2 subjects u like the most?
Me: I like data structures & C
Sir: then tel me wat is data structure?
Me: data structure is the most basic form or the structure in which the data can b stored efficiently & from which the data can b accessed .for example arrays,structures, union, enum....
Sir: do u know wat is memlock (something else i dont remember it properly) in C?
Me:no sir, I dont no abt it, I hv not come across it any time...
Sir: k, then do u no malloc?

Sir:k then how can v convert void into int?
ME: By typecasting it
