Aptitude Test : 20 Minutes
Quantitative : 20 Minutes
Reasoning / Analytical : 20 Minutes
Verbal English : 0 Minutes
Technical : 60 Minutes
Details of types of questions asked in each of the sections:
The aptitude and quantitative sections tested our skills in mathematical knowledge upto class XII.The difficulty lay in
the time constraints. It almost boiled down to solving 1 question in a minute and in some sections in 45 seconds.
One section in aptitude test purely tested our observation skills. (They gave a huge list of alphanumerical data from
which we had to answer a lot of questions.)
The technical round comprised of 3 sections-basic programming in c/c++/SQL and data structure in java(2
sections).The non-cse students however need not panic at my mention of java(even the cse students found this
section difficult). If you are good in data structure (using c++) then you can answer most of these questions.

There were two and a half technical rounds( the 3rd round was actually a mixture of both HR and technical
questions )
I have segregated the questions according to the rounds :-
Round 1:-What are the OOPS concepts you are aware of ? Give an example of each .
Write down a program/algorithm
a) to find out the second largest word in a paragraph - without using sorting methods. In event of occurence of two
words of the same length or repetition of words, all the words must be printed.
b)to count the no. of unique elements in an array of nos.
Puzzles-If there is an offer to exchange 3 butts for 1 cigarette and I go with 10 butts, how many cigarettes can I
smoke (ans=5.. think how !)
There are different jars having different no. of pills but each pill is of 10 grams except for 1 jar which has all pills of
9 grams. In a single weighing find out this jar
Round 2:- How different is the implementation of oops concept in c from that in c++ ?
What is polymorphism, abstractism ? Can we implement one without the other ?
Does Polymorphism always have to mean classes ? If classes dont have memeber functions, does that still mean
polymorphism ?
Write a program to display the no. of 1,2,3,4,5...... lettered words in a paragraph
Can you implement strcpy without using strcpy command or without using a 3rd variable (hint: use pointers)
If i enter a single or double digit no. print it in words(dont use switch case)
What is a copy constructor ?
Some basic questions in SQL
Quick sorting, binary search.
Round 3:- What do u know about OS
What is the difference between dbms and rdbms ?
Have u ever developed a user interface program in c++ ?

Round 3:- Future plans ?
If you are given a loan waiver for higher studies abroad will u accept it ?
What about difficulties in adjusting in a foreign country ?
Being from an electrical company why do you want to join a software firm ?
Any questions ? (Dont say no questions sir... thats a really bad way to close the interview,ask them questions to
show your interest in the company and its profile... and while he is answering think of the next question !)
Round 4 :- It was a mere formality . I was asked some of the questions already asked in the previous round and the
earliest possible joining date convenient to me.

The best gift that you can give to the world is to be yourself. Never fake in front of the panel members. They are
experienced enough to catch you. Enjoy your life in this college which includes assignments, bad grades, bad mess
food, everything! It is this attitude that will see you through tough times including the placements.
One more piece of advice. Inside an interview room there is something else that you need to wear besides neatly
pressed formals- its a smile! Sometimes it speaks more than your resume.

The panel was very friendly. They made me feel comfortable and at complete ease with them besides giving me
ample time to solve the questions.
Be thorough in c++, data structure(both theory and programing) and the differences in c++ and c.
If you have mentioned any skill in your resume be sure you know everything about it. For example many people do
a java course in summer vacations but dont remember a word after a gap of two long years.
Dont panic if you cant answer a question. There would obviously be some questions waiting for you through which
you can exhibit your strengths.Imagine, I could not answer something as simple as 'what is a copy constructor ?' !
They look more for the logic used rather than your coding strengths so focus on using the shortest and sweetest
method .
