brief desription of written r-----section

a.)Analytical Reasoning......containing  30 ques....

c.)Tecnical comphrensions........10 ques
it contain comphrension based entirely on some technical topic ........this is to check whether u can make poper inferences on any technical background.........

d.)C /C++ APTITUDE...........30 ques

IN OUR EXAM.....46%WAS CUT OFF....OUT OF 152 CANDIDATES 51 WERE SELECTED........MY SCORE WAS 64 OUT OF 110......

2.Technical Interview----
C and C++ with data structure r very imortant for this section.......whole of my Technical Interview was frm C++

some of ques r as follow-----

1.)To write equivelent code for calloc in terms of malloc
         Ans       p=calloc(m,n) is equivelent to
                      p=malloc(m*n);
                      memset(p,0,m*n);
      What malloc or calloc return........
         Ans   void pointer pointing to 1st byte to memory allocated
2.) To write functioun for reversing the string
3.)Prototype for pointer to a constant and pointer constant
               Ans         char const*p                &           char*const

So it is clear that whole tech was based on programming skills.........so prepare well........it is the main elemination round......your programming skills going to determine your selection.......not a single puzzle was asked....so improve ur programming basic........i will suggest to go through balagruswamy for c& c++.......or u can refer ROBERT LAFORE FOR C++.........and for data structure yashwant kanitkar is best

3.HR INTERVIEW--------
In my case it was nothing........it also depend on ur perfomance in technical interview.....its just a formality to b completed.........but they put weightage on percentage marks in 10,12,btech..........

In HR only they gave me T shirt......and offer letter.........believe me  I got my dream job......wishes the same for u all
