Q) how many odd numbers r there between 2000 & 4999.
Q) a figure involving concepts of geometry.(not dat tuf!)
Q) a question on multiplication of two nos. with unknown digits (O1 E1 O2 E2…)(seemed tuf 2 me so I didn’t attempt!)
Q) a similar question :A exists if C is present B exists if D & A are present ..n so on(quite a simple question I got d answer with truth table method it got easy)
Q) somewhat same question as above involving Figo, Ronaldo ..etc...& one drives scooter while the other rides bicycle….n so so(was easy!...MUST give time 2 such questions)
Q) a question on years(simple one!)
To cut it short apti was nt dat tuf….i jus left those questions of which I had absolutely NO IDEA...use ur rough sheet 2 the fullest.!

After written we expected 2 have GD....but it got cancelled...so few students had their Technical & Hr the same day.......
My turn was on 13th Feb ..(the next day)....whole night tension, anxiety, fear kept me awake!!!..my whole bed was piled with buks..all I cud get.. i had never faced interview n all before ...n was really scared of failure...becoz once things get in our hand we don’t want 2 let it go...
TECHNICAL INTERVIEW:
