Hey Friends ! welcome back to our blog ! I know its been a while but I thought I could share our experience at the placement test today. The Criteria for our batch was 75% MCA aggregate but no surprises, it was raised to 80%. Out of a batch of 112 only 6 were eligible.
First things first, the profile was for SysAdmin and the package was 13-14 Lakhs/annum. We had to carry along 2 copies of our CV's and photographs along with a "pencil" only. The very flashy presentation began at sharp 9:15 AM today on 16-07-2013 and as always presented the good side of DESIS, their activities, benefits to the employees etc. They have a very casual work environment with no dress code.
We then had to move to the CS dept for the test. Note : Please ensure you get a notepad for rough work. The first round was a written test which had 3 categories at one stretch without any gaps with a constraint of 25% negative marks for each incorrect answer.
1. Pure High 5 Quantitative Aptitude - 20 questions - 20 mins
2. Programming - C,C++,Java,Data Structures, DBMS - 20 questions - 20 mins
3. General Technical questions - 10 questions - 10 mins
1. Quant: The first category was the most difficult among the others. The questions were mainly focused on
a) Profit & Loss
b) Time & work
c) Time & distance
d) Ratios
All these questions were really tough and you will not find them in any of the R.S Agarwals or the Apti Mithras. 1 min per question was really not sufficient for us and could hardly attempt 10-12 questions.
2. Programming: The second category was a little better compared to quant. Most of my fellow batch mates found it easy but I must admit, I really found that there were many hard questions at start and few easy ones towards the end. Most questions were
a) Guess the output of the program
b) One Page program of C,C++ - arrays, pointers, structures, Strings
c) Data Structures (Many) - Linked list, Trees(Many), Postfix evaluation, Heaps, Tree Traversal
d) Java - 2 questions one on packages(import), threads
e) DBMS - 1 questions on Delete query along with table data to guess the output row
3. Technical: This category was easier compared to the other two. It had general knowledge technical questions that concentrated on:
a) Microsoft Products (2-3)
b) Cloud Computing
c) Operating System (Mobiles)
Some of us did not attempt all the questions, while the others did. However, unfortunately none from our branch were selected for the next round. But it was indeed a learning experience to prepare even better for the next companies. I hope this post was useful; any questions ? Feel free to comment below !
