ExamNotice

They normally ask 75 questions out of which 65 questions are of aptitude type and rest 10 are from C and Data Structures. What i beleive anyone should attempt around 90% of the questions. C part is most important to clear. There is no negative Marking

When u clear written examination they call for technical interview. In Technical Interview they query about the fnal year projec which u have developed sometimes they ask about coding and puzzles also. Prepare C and Data Structures well to crack the interview. but if ur projec is from different domain then prepare accourding to it. Interview round will last for around 30minutes to 1 hour. Beleive me its not too tough to crack it

But remember one thing if ur selelected in one comp then dont mention it . It may prove disastrous for u .
after technical interview if ur thru then they let u to the HR Round . HR is just a formality Once technical is clear it means u r at Verizon. HR will simply handover a bag to u as a gift from Verizon.
