CARITOR PATTERN & INTERVIEW - JUN 2006

CARITOR PATTERN & INTERVIEW - JUN 2006


First I attended TCS and cleared aptitude out of 400+students only 23 were

shortlisted for the technical interview and 16 were shortlisted for HR

the aptitude was easy and it was very similar to the previous paper (khandavali sep-2005 paper that i saw in technical - it was like a rapid fire round for computer sciance students but cake walk for other departments(not even a single question was technical). questions were asked from

data structures

sorting

c,c++

networking concepts

DBMS

software engineering,...



the very next day I had caritor. Out of 300 students 53 were shortlisted after aptitude,36 after GD,22 after technical and 20 after HR



Day 1- Aptitude, GD



Aptitude was simple.actually i didn't prepare anything for that as i was upset with tcs debacle.



45 questions-one swimmer problem, there was some order which u have to find and conditions were given. actually very simple

for other r.s.agarwal is enough-probs on ages,averages,percentage,time&work



then we were asked to write a passage on "how our college helped us to be successfull"-this is not an elimination round and its just to test your written skills.




then we had GD. they asked us to suggest topics and we discussed on two topics- "is GD necessary for campus interviews" and "ban on mobile phones in campus" (for other groups it was one topic only need not worry).

this was not a major elimination round. they will select even if you do fairly well



day-2 -- Technical and HR interview



Technical interview---this was quite good.

I was asked to write two programs--one to find largest number in the array and the other one to compare two strings and find if second is a substring of first.

though i stuck i came out with the answer. the interviewer infact made me feel comfortable and gave me clues

then basic queries in DBMS and lifecycle models in software engineering.

that's it

I got thro' technical and called for HR



HR -- was really cool. they just asked whether i am flexible to relocate, hobbies,

where do u see urself in three years ...that's it
