ROUND 1- Mathematical Aptitude Test
Consists of 20 questions to b solved in 20 mins.No Negative Markings .There were 2 or more sets of papers.Also I my set 2 questions were repeated.I belive this was done intentionally so as to check consistency. questions were simple from RS Agrawal based on Percentage,Profit nd Loss,Compound Intrest,1 question on Clock, Time nd Work, Speed nd Distance,1 simple question from series and Probablity.In some cases answeres can be found by just looking at the options.Overall this round was easy but keep time factor in mind. skip the difficult questions nd solve simple questions,have a look at questions mentioned at this site, they helped me a lot. Cut-off was around 13 out of 20.109 students were selected in this round.
ROUND 2-Tech Aptitude (20 ques) and Logical Reasoning (12 ques) Time given 40 mins
No negative MarkingsTech questions were based on C,Operating System nd Data Structure. Only Basic Concepts must b clear, no advanced knowledge required. in my.paper 5 ques were based on something like this A,B,C,D,E,F..are six speakers,3 conditions given in the order which the would speak.similarly 2 questions were based on 6 swimmers(3 conditions were given) nd position of each swimmer was to be found out Overall this paper was OK.68 were selected in this round.
ROUND 3-GD consisted of 15 students in each batch
Topics were really easy and on current affairs
1-Does Indian democracy Needs President.
2-Should Sachin Retire frm Indian Cricket.
3- Orkut
4-India nd China
Each GD lasted for abt 10-12 minutes.
51 got selected for the interview.
ROUND 4-Interview (Tech+HR)
Mine interview was totally tech-
They asked typical questions like tell me abt ur self, Your favorite subject.
I was asked questions on functions of OSI Layers,Hub,Swithes,Handshaking etc.from C they was asked about storage classes, prefix and postfix operations etc.Be confident while answering nd maintain eye contact. At last he asked me I if had any queries-I asked him if company is going to open some more development centers in India? He told that company has no such plans in near future…cos they don’t hav many clients in India.
Some students were asked HR questions nd Puzzles.
Finally 38 were selected nd given Offer letters…I was lucky enough to survive till last.
Best of Luck to all. Be Confident and if its ur day nobody can stop you. See you at THBS Bangalore...

Total students appeared:
Total students appeared: 235
No of students qualified the written paper: 54 in apti & then 29 in technical apti.
Finally got offer letter: 13
Package: 3 lakh per annum.
There is no any kind of bond except EMOTIONAL BOND.
TEST PATTERN:
(1) Quantitative Aptitude (20 questions, 20 minutes).
This portion was very tough but main thing was time management. I started from last; some questns were little bit easier than first ones.
Some questions which I remembered are:
a) Lotus becomes triple after 1 min in a pond. If the pond is filled 1/3rd in 30 min, how much time it will take to fill the pond with lotus.
b) A problem on average of ages of students in a school.
c) A problem on train & time and distance.
d) Sum of all digits of the result of 1000^7-21 (not exactly bt same type).
e) Maximum no. of problems was from FACTORIALs of numbers. E.g. What will be the unit digit of 96! ?
f) Some very difficult & time consuming problem related to FACTORIALs of numbers.
DO EASIER ONES FIRST THEN ANSWER REMAINING BY GUESS, AS THERE IS NO NEGATIVE MARKING.
Cut off marks was 13 in our time. It may be 16. Basically there were 2 different sets of papers. I am informing only about my question set.
Within an hour results were declared. 54 among 235 cleared the aptitude round.
I cleared this round by God’s grace.
(2) Non- Technical paper ( 20 questions, 20 minutes) .
This paper basically had ques related to simple digital electronics, control system, micro-processor, general knowledge of computer, Analog electronics& was quite easy as compare to quantitative aptitude.
Some questions which I remember are:
1) How many address lines in 2048*4
Ans: 11
2) If unit input is an impulse response then its Laplace transform is
Ans: 1
3) What is the steady state error in transfer function G(s) = k/s(s+1)
Ans: k
4) What is the function of clk pulse in a flip-flop?
5) In SR flip-flop S=1 & R=0 then it set, wht will b the state whn S=0? Set or reset.
6) Wht is the size of main memory of a typical personal computer?
7) Wht is the name of binary mass storage device?
8) Why CMOS is not applicable in noisy environment?
9) Wht is the bit size of control word of a 32bit micro-processor?
10) The characteristic eqn of a system is s^4+s^3+s^2+s
= 0, what will b the positions of closed loop poles & zeroes
11) If input of a linear system is 5sin wt the output will b 10cos wt, now if the input is 10cos wt wht will b the output? SORRY frndz
Still 9 questions I’m not able to remember guys, which were also simple like these.
Note: There was a technical paper for CS n IT students and choice for other students to opt either of the paper. I m from EE so I got non-technical paper n also for ECE students as well. You can also choose IT paper being a non IT student.
Within half an hour results were declared. 29 among 54 cleared the technical aptitude round. I cleared this round also.
(3) GROUP DISCUSSION (max 10 min for each group)
29 students were grouped into 10.hence there were 3 groups. In my group there were 9. Each group was allotted roughly 10 mins for this round.
Few topics were:
1. Whether there should be a quota in higher education for OBCs or not.
2. Commercial software Vs Open source.
3. Should the Special Economical Zone be made at Nandigram?
My topic was no.1 Actually all topics were based on current affairs. So go through news papers daily.
I cleared the GD and was selected for PI.
(4)Technical & HR interview (approx 15-20 min for each)
It was my first interview, I faced ever. It was totally technical but at first “tell me about your self” was asked only to me except others. The interviewer, I faced was quite serious but another was really a cool guy.
Few questions are:
Introduce yourself
Then he asked me what you know in computer science?
As I am from Electrical Engineering dept. I clearly told him that I learned C,data structure,OS in 2nd & 3rd sem so I am not able to answer up to the mark but sir if u ask questions from microprocessor, digital electronics, control system, Electrical machines & power systems then I can answer.
Then he asked…
What is the difference betwn microprocessor & microcontroller?
What is accumulator?
What is Interrupt?
What is flip-flop?
What is Karnoph map?
What is truth table?
What is www?
What is internet?
What is stepper motor?
Then as I won 3rd prize on paper presentation in The National Seminar, he asked me to explain the topic. I did this very well.
Some other CSE related questions from C, data structure, OS were asked to all except me. I answered promptly & confidently all the question
At last he asked, u r totally focused in electrical engg. So how you will work in an IT company? I answered very smartly; the PPT helped me to configure my answer.
That's it. I was selected and on spot I received the offer letter from them & shaken hand also. My most unforgettable moment.
Thanks to all who contributed to Freashersworld.com. It really helped me a lot. I finally thank one and all who have helped me through out my carrier and especially my PARENTS who are behind me and my LOVABLE FRIENDS of ACADEMY OF TECHNOLOGY…& obviously my favorite teacher in ACADEMY Prof. SURAJIT CHATTERJEE of EE dept.
BEST OF LUCK FRENDZ…. Just work hard and you’ll make it… Hope to see you all in TORRY HARRIS …
