ACCENTURE PAPER ON 5TH APRIL AT IICMR,PUNE

2009-11-21T12:26:00.000-08:00

ACCENTURE PAPER ON 5TH APRIL AT IICMR,PUNE

Hi, This is Swapnil Kanade from Dr. D. Y. Patil Institute of Management & Research, Pimpri. I was selected in Accenture on 5th April, 2008. Here are the details:
Location of Test: IICMR, Nigdi, Pune.
Selection Process:
1. Aptitude test of 55 questions having 55 marks. Date: 29th March 2008.
2. Group Discussion and HR & Technical Interviews. Date: 5th April 2008.

Candidates from MCA and Engineering Colleges around Maharashtra were invited for Campus selection.

The aptitude was conducted by MeritTrack for Accenture. It contained English section, Mathematical Aptitude and Reasoning section. A key to solving these is to download and solve previous question papers from Freshers’ world. The questions are easy. Just solve them fast as the time is just 60 minutes.
After those sixty minutes, 5 minutes are given for writing an essay. This will be evaluated in the interviews. Our topic was “Artificial Intelligence.” I finished the test in 50 minutes and utilized the remaining 10 minutes for thinking on the topic. Do not start writing essay unless you are told to do so. In fact, we were given only 3-3.5 minutes. You should write the full page for the essay.
The results of aptitude are conveyed to your TPO. Out of 36 students of our college, 11 were selected for GD’s. The overall selections at this stage were 211.
The next rounds were held at the same place one week later, on 5th April. It started at 9.20 a.m. We were given a PPT on Accenture. Listen to the PPT carefully. Remember the motto of Accenture: High Performance. Delivered.

After the PPT, we were divided into groups of 12-14 each and taken to GD halls.
My group’s topic was “Do ends justify means?” The GD conductor talks to you before the GD and explains the criteria etc. Please make sure you have great command over English and you do speak up at least a couple of times. Listening is more important and I was successful in leading the overall GD. I listened to others carefully. So guys were mostly addressing me. I also made sure that no one dominated and gave some ladies chance to put their views. This ability of handling your team is very important.
Other GD topics were “Evolution of Education System in India from 1990 onwards,” and “Globalization”.

111 candidates were selected for Interview round. From our college, 4 made it to next round.
We were then given some forms where you fill in your information, location preferences etc. Then one-by-one, we were called for interviews. I had to wait a lot as my turn came only at 3:30 p.m. The HR and Technical Interviews were conducted by two persons simultaneously in different halls. (Pipelining!) Those who would pass one kind of interview would then be sent for the other. I was first sent for HR.
HR Interview:
I first tapped the door gently and opened it, asking for the permission to come in. After getting it, I got in and walked upto the table and greeted the HR, who was a sober man in his 30’s. He looked very serious, but was in fact were kind. I sat on the chair only after being told to do so. He had my resume and copies of certificates with him which he was reading. After a while, he fired the first salvo at me by asking me to introduce myself. The questions were as follows:
1.Tell me something about yourself.
I talked about myself and my strengths and weaknesses, my objective etc. Make sure your introduction lasts no more than 1-1.5 minutes.
2.How can you prove that you are creative?
This question came as I had said that I had quoted ‘creativity’ as my strength. I gave the example of my pencil shading hobby.
3.Give me an example of your perfectionist attitude.
I said that I work on my paintings and portraits for several drafts unless I am satisfied with them.
4.Do you have any of your sketches with you now
5.I said, “Sorry, I don’t.”
6.Tell me about your family background.
I stressed on the loving bond we share in our family. Try to say something about all your family members.
7.Can you tell me a situation where your suggestion/creativity helped your team achieve some innovation
I gave example of our 3rd semester project.
8.And a situation where your team failed in achieving its objective because of your mistake?
“I am a trekker. We have a trekking club in our town. Once we had arranged a trek to one fort called Bhairavgad. It was quite difficult ascent and I was required to go first and tie rope for the others. Unfortunately I could not climb the point with steep ascent and we had to abandon the trek altogether. But the very next week, we again went there and this time we made it to the top.”
9.Who is your idol
I said, “Sachin Tendulkar. As he is a high performer and still keeps his feet firmly on ground. I wish to perform like him and still maintain my humility.”
10.But when Sachin scores a century, our team looses, right?
“It is a team effort and everyone has to contribute his best. And the team leader has to make sure they do.”
11.How did you come to know about Accenture
“From one of our seniors who was placed in Accenture a couple of years ago. I was very much impressed with the global look of Accenture that he described.”
12.What do you mean by Global look?
“It is the global presence. This gives Accenture the great mix of different cultures and I like to interact with people from diverse backgrounds. That’s one of my strengths. I will get an opportunity to explore the same at Accenture. Hence I really admire it.”
13.Which company do you admire the most other than Accenture?
“I like Infosys.”
14.Why?
“It has done very well as a Corporate Citizen. I especially was impressed with their ‘Infosys Foundation’ headed by Mrs. Sudha Murthy. I have read her books like ‘Wise and Otherwise’. The foundation has been doing a lot of social work and philanthropy in various remote parts of the country. This suits my nature of helping others in achieving their goals. Hence I admire Infosys very much.”
15.Have you appeared for any other company’s test before?
“Yes, KPIT.”

The interview lasted for 20 minutes. I wished the HR a good day and came out. After 5 minutes I was told that I cleared the HR.

Technical Interview:
The next round was Technical interview. After half an hour, my turn came. The interviewer was a lady in her mid-forties. She was very cultured, soft-spoken and refined.
She was a HR and most of the questions she asked were of HR type. It went somewhat like this:
1.You said that your idol is Sachin Tendulkar, right? Why?
“That’s because he is a high achiever and perfectionist. He can deliver high performance time to time and in spite of the reverence he gets from the world, he is so down-to-earth. I wish my success doesn’t go to my head at any stage of my life.”
2.Tell me something about your family.
This question was a repeat. I gave similar answer.
3.Why was your score so less in 12th standard?
I explained the reasons.
4.You have done B. A.?
I said, “Yes.”
5.What was your major?
“Political Science.”
6.Why did you choose Political Science?
“It is the enveloping subject for all other subjects of the world, as it creates the framework within which other subjects like economics and even science and technology evolve. It gives you the opportunity to study the diverse cultures and political setups of different countries. This enables me to understand the socio-cultural mindsets of their people. This in turn helps me in effectively interacting with them.”
7.Then why did you not go for IAS?
“In fact, I had started preparing for Civil Services Examination. I wanted to go in the Indian Foreign Service. But later I realized that I won’t get the kind of freedom and power to push forward my vision and opinions or aggressive strategies. I also had a liking for technology, so I chose MCA after B. A.”
8.Why do you love technology?
“I am a creative person. Just like canvas, brushes and color palette are tools for creativity in arts, technology is the tool for expressing your creativity. Besides, I also love working with machines.”
9.How did you develop interest in technology?
“When I first learnt C, I was very much impressed with its power of making the machines work for you, according to your wishes. That fetched
me closer to technology.”
10.You said that you want to go into Systems Programming, right?
Actually I had not said so. But still I answered affirmatively. “Yah, Systems Programming is domain that puts high demands on you for utmost creativity, supreme command over languages and thorough understanding of the architectures and other details. So, one who has a liking for details will surely succeed in that.”
11.And then what about Application Programming?
“I like Application Programming also as it involves interacting with people. You have to understand their needs and preferences. The interfaces have to be user-friendly. So, if one can understand the preferences and psychology of people, one can really develop successful applications. The study of different cultural setups helps in this stuff. Hence I can do equally well in this area also.”
12.What are your strengths?
“My ability of communication, soft skills, my creativity and my technical knowledge are some of my strengths. I can work well in teams and can lead them also.”
13.Can you write a C program for 2X3 & 3X1 matrix multiplication?
I wrote the program. She asked me to explain the logic of the program. She also asked me why the order of the matrices is important. I explained.
14.111 candidates have been short-listed from GD for interviews. What’s in you that sets you apart from others?
“My USP is my communication skills and my ability of interacting with people from diverse backgrounds. This will help me in dealing with our clients and I am particularly eager to work in Accenture as it has people from all over the globe. I am really excited at the prospect of working with the company having global look.”
15.Can you give me an example of how you can communicate across cultural backgrounds?
“Well, I have a zeal for talking to people especially from backgrounds of other than mine. For example, I have a vast network of friends, most of whom are from different states, even from different countries, speaking different languages. I can interact with them because of my observing, analyzing and empathizing skills. My cross-domain experience and knowledge helps me a lot. I am sure I will have similar success with Accenture as well.”
16.Why should I select you?
“Accenture will select me only if it thinks and is satisfied that I am the right candidate for the job. Let’s think from Accenture’s perspective. What it will look for in a candidate is the soft skills, strong domain knowledge, communication skills, ability of working in teams, leadership qualities, global viewpoint, creativity, and so on. And I think I have it all in me.”
Here I again stressed on soft skills.
17.Where do you see yourself after three years from now?
I gave a diplomatic answer to this question. I said, “I don’t know exactly how fast careers grow in Accenture, but generally speaking I see myself as at least a System Analyst. Not three years as such, but say, five years.”
18.Any other company you appeared for before? What was the result?
“I had appeared in KPIT aptitude test on the very next day after the aptitude of Accenture. But I could not clear the test.”

The interview lasted for 25 minutes. The last question she asked was “You want to ask me anything?” I was a bit surprised at the timing of the question. I just said, “Well, nothing as such!” Then she thanked me. I wished her a good day and left the room. After a while, the person outside the door told me that I was selected and tried to shake hand with me. But I couldn’t because my friend literally hugged and lifted me up in excitement. I was then busy receiving calls from all my college-mates and friends. Success is really very sweet. And when it comes in the form of placement, you suddenly feel a kind of relief from all your worries and tensions!

From almost 2000 candidates, 211 cracked the aptitude test. 111 candidates cleared the GD round. And finally who made it to Accenture were just 33, a majority of whom were girls. There was a sad edge to my success- I was the only student from all candidates of our D. Y. Patil Pratishthan to get selected in Accenture. I will really miss my friends. I take this opportunity to thank them for their support.

Tips for successful placement:
First, please work well on your soft skills. Merely having fluency is not enough; you should have the ability of conveying your thoughts across clearly. You must have well manners and etiquettes.

Second, do a SWOT analysis of yourself and stress on your strengths in all answers. Remember, questions pop up from your previous answers. Hence, it is in your hands how to direct the interview flow.

Next, gather information about the company from various sources. Try to find out what the company wants. Also work on your GK as some of my colleagues were asked questions on it.
It is a popular myth about Accenture that it only seeks fluency in English. It also wants its employees to give a high performance. Hence having technical knowledge is also very important.
Believe in yourself. Be polite, but firm. Don’t get disturbed if you are cross checked. Keep your ears open for any clues.
Develop some novel ways of answering. For example, the way I answered the question “why I should select you?”
Just be relaxed and calm, poise. Have a great self-confidence.

ACCENTURE PAPER ON 23rd FEBRUARY AT KOLKATA

Hi friends......I am Misbahuddin Shamim,pursuing my B-tech from Techno India College Of Technology....and my stream is Information Technology.....I was not having internet connection at my home...then a friend of mine made me realised how important it is for the campussing...u must be wondering why have i started with this??/ coz i know friends that most of you are reading this paper froma cyber cafe...so my very 1st request to you all is that if its possible for you to afford internet connection..then get it done as soon as possible , as it really helped me a lot and it will help u too...it was only due to freshersworld dat i was able to understand the pattern,the important chapters as well as the questions which i have to attempt initially in the aptitude test...it is really v.v.v.v.v.helpful....I m really very much thankful to FRESHERS WORLD..

Naw let me tell you important things to be prepared for accenture:

It has 4 rounds:
1) APTITUDE TEST ALONG WITH THAT ESSAY WRITING.
2) GROUP DISCUSSION.
3) TECHNICAL / HR INTERVIEW.
4) HR / TECHNICAL INTERVEW.

1)APTITUDE TEST:
Questions = 55 ; time limit = 60 minutes...along with that an essay to write in the same sheet in another 10 minutes...
No sectional cut off , no negative marking..

questions were easy..all u need to do is planning which questions to attempt first and which one to attempt at last...and yeah 1 more thing ..you have to be very fast and u can achieve dat only through regular practice..all u have to do is to solve few chapters from R.S.AGGARWAL ( verbal & Non-verbal as well as quantitaive)..i will suggest you some chapters ...you jus do those chapters properly and it will be more than sufficient for you...

The Aptitude test paper is divided into 3 sections:
1st section :consist of 20 questions which is completely based on english...
Questions 1 - 10 : These are very easy..its completly based on prepositions and fill in the blanks with correct articles...if u have a gud command in english then do it in the begining else do it some time later on after solving some easier questions which will mention later on...

Questions 11 - 20 :
questions 11 - 15 contains one comprehension followed by another comprehension from ques 16 - 20... I will suggest you all to do the comprehensions at last.. and attempt the first comprehension before than the second one...coz according to my experience first comprehensions are always easier than the second one...

TIPS : DO THE COMPREHENSIONS AT LAST AND ALWAYS READ THE QUESTIONS FIRST AND THEN LOOK FOR THE ANSWERS IN THE PASSAGE...NEVER WASTE YOUR TIME IN READING THE WHOLE PASSAGE..

2nd section : consists of 20 questions which is based on quantitative as well as verbal and non-verbal...
It contains questions from data sufficiency,venn diagram,time and work,percentage,time and distance,directions,blood relations,and the most important topic LOGIC (syllogism) which is the first chapter of the second part of R.S.AGGARWAL (verbal & non-verbal)...prepare these chapters very nicely...

3rd section : consists of 15 questions which is v.v.v.easy, only a difficult portion can be of puzzle types..
questions are like :
Q.41- Q.45 Mark the answers according to the following:
A- If all the three options match
B- If FIRST and SECOND options match
C- If FIRST and THIRD options match
D- If none of the three match

Example:
KKTUJNGDFTSR KKTUJHGDFTSR KKTUJNGDFTSR
Ans: C

Another example:
1896.5738491023 1896.5783491023 1896.5738461023
Ans: D

Q.46-Q.49 were based on the Puzzle-type question. It said:
Following was the criteria decided by the selection committee of Indian Cricket Board:
1) Player's age should be 18-28 years
2) He must be the captain of any cricket team for at least 2 years
3) He must be a Ranji Player for at least 2 years
4) He must have taken at least 20 wickets or made 1000 runs in a calendar year in Ranji

If 1st condition is not fulfilled .. referred to chairman
If 2nd condition is not fulfilled .. he must be an all rounder with at least 500 runs and 15 wickets
If 4th condition is not fulfilled .. referred to VP

Questions were like following example:
Rahul was born on Dec.10,1979 and is a captain of Ranji team since Feb 2005. He won man of the tournament last year for taking 24 wickets last year. He is:
a) Selected b) Rejected c) Referred to Chairman d)Data Insufficient
Ans: a
(These questions are also easy if you draw a table with names of the aspirant in rows and criteria in the columns, and then checking whether he/she fulfils it or not)

Q.50- Q.55 were also a bit easy and were of two types:
Example of type 1:
If * means +, + means -, - means / and / means *, then what is the value of-
8+4-9*7/12+3

Example of type 2:
If * means /, / means -, - means + and + means *, then which of the following is true:
a) 7+43*2/13-7+8 = 22.6 b) 4-9*7/4*2/3-7+2 = 25 .. ..

(The type 1 are easier and less time consuming and type 2 are more time consuming but still can be solved. 3 of the questions were of type1 and other 3 of type two)..

NOTE: Friends i will suggest you all to start with this section...first do the question 41 - 45 and then do the questions from 50 - 52...and then do whatever u like....coz these questions are v.v.v.v.easy..and so u will gain lots of confidence after solving these 8 questions..if u can then solve the ques 53 - 55 also else leave it for later on as it is very much time consuming...

IMPORTANT CHAPTERS TO BE DONE FOR THE APTITUDE TEST:

FOR ACCENTURE EMPHASIZE MORE ON VERBAL & VON-VERBAL RATHER THAN QUANTITAVE...

VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL :
1) LOGIC (syllogism).
2) DATA SUFFICIENCY.
3) LOGIACL VENN DIAGRAM.
4) DIRECTION SENSE TEST.
5) BLOOD RELATIONS.
6) PUZZLE TEST.

QUANTITATIVE :
1) TIME AND WORK.
2) TIME AND DISTANCE.
3) RATIO AND PROPORTION.
4) PERCENTAGE.
5) PROBLEMS ON TRAINS.
6) BOATS AND STREAMS.
7) PIPES AND CISTERNS.
8) PROFIT AND LOSS.

Do only these chapters which i have mentioned ....its more than sufficient...and yaeh once again emphasize more on verbal and non-verbal rather than quantitative...coz 70% are from verb&non-verb and 30% are from quanti....in comparision to these two...

After the completion of 60 minutes we were asked to write an essay in 10 minutes time and word limit was atleast 100 words and the topic was "US recession and its impact in the IT industry"....dont bother about the essay much, just make it sure that u have to fill that page with correct grammatical statements...it does not play an role in clearing ur aptitude...it is checked by the HR usually during ur HR interview and it may happen that no one bother to check it also...

2) GROUP DISCUSSION :
The topic which was given to us was "liberalisation"... time limit was 10 minutes...12 students were there in a group, a topic was thrown and you all have to share your views regarding that given topic...they selected only 5 students from each group of 12...so you can see that you have to give ur best effort and you wont get much chance to speak also coz it so happens sometimes that they make the GD go by person to person clockwise..

TIPS : Initially they may ask you to introduce urself...and u have to hit in this very moment only ..ur introduction shud be very strong...then u will 2 - 3 chances to speak on the topic.....friends u have to be louder and clear during your GD...with full of passions...

3) HR INTERVIEW :
Questions were like: Tell me sumthing about yourself which is not there in the CV...then what do u do in your leisure time...then how can you prove that you have managerial skills...and then few questions were asked which was related to my answers...i m not writng all those things coz answers vary from person to person...all i wanna say is dat u need to be very much confident during your interview,there should be smile on your face,eyes contact with the HR is a must...

4) TECHNICAL INTERVIEW :
First of all HR asked me to introduce myself...then he asked me what do u do in your leisure time..then he asked me what are your favourite subjects...then he gave me a program and asked me 2 answer hm whether this program will run or not...then he told me dat i m giving u 16 seconds..u have to sell urself...then he gav me some situation reaction test which i answered wonderfully...

In situation reaction test they just want to see how good you are as a leader as well as a team member and how hard working , determined and confident you are...

FINALLY, I WANT TO TELL U THE STATISTICS....899 STUDENTS APPEARED.....266 CLEARED THE APTITUDE...115 CLEARED THE GD....AND AT LAST ONLY 41 WERE SHORTLISTED AFTER THE TECHNICAL AND HR INTERVIEW....AND I M REALLY GLAD TO SAY THAT I AM AMONG ONE OF THEM...................FRIENDS!!!! ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY REGARDING THE PLACEMENT OF ACCENTURE....... THAT " YOU HAVE TO BE CONSISTENTLY CONSISTENT ".......WISH U AL DA VERY BEST AND HOPE TO SEE YOU AT ACCENTURE...

37. In a file A...Z characters are written.if we open the file using fopen and
lseek(fp,-10,2);
c=getc(fp);
printf("%c",c);
what will be the output.?
Ans . Y.(please verify Here last parameter is the integer value to seel_end
38. Same question with
lseek(fp,10,0);
c=getc(fp);
printf("%c",c);
ans. 11th character will be printed "K" verify.
39. Theory question about far pointers.
Hint: Far pointers are 4 bytes in size and local pointers are 2 bytes in size. important: i saw in a previous question paper of accenture which is in the chetana database, some lady wrote that size of an integer in C is 2 bytes and for C++ it is 4 bytes. This is absurd.The size of types is entirely dependent on the compiler used.for DOS Turbo C sizeof int is 2 and float is 4 bytes for windows borland C,C++ size of int is 4 bytes for linux gcc, size of int is 2 bytes. All these depends on the Operating system.Please keep this in mind.
40. Now some questions about extern variables.
41. #include
main()
{
char str[]={"hell"};
int i;
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
printf("%c%c%c%c\n",str[i],i[str],*(str+i),*(i+str));
getch();
}
ans.
hhhh
eeee
llll
llll
note that str[i] and i[str] are the same.in the question paper, the original word is "hello".
42. Which of the following is not defined in string.h strtod,memchr,strspn,strchr
ans . strtod.(defined in STDLIB.H) it is used to convert a string to double.
43. Questions on macros with arguments .same pattern given in TEST UR C SKILLS
eg.#define SQUARE(x) x*x
main()
{
.......
y=SQUARE(2+3);
printf("%d",y);
}
ans. when the macro expands we get 2+3*2+3 = 2+6+3 =11.11 is the correct answer not 25.
44. Remember an inline function does type checking and so it is better than a macro a question on this.
45. Some memory is allocated using memalloc and then realloc is called. and now to write the size of the variable.better learn memalloc and realloc. what it does and syntax.
HR Interview.

2009-11-21T12:16:00.000-08:00

WIPRO Placement Paper, 12th July 2008, Bangalore
Hi guys....this was my second company & luckily because of god's(sri krishna's) grace i got placed in wipro on 12th July 2008 in Banglore.... i actually had not thought of getting into wipro.. i thought ill just try & it would b a practice session for me....so had just taken it very lightly....but somehow luckily could clear aptitude test...

In selection process there will b 3 rounds..
1>aptitude test which consists of 3 sections..All the sections r compulsory...so give equal importance to al sections because there will b sectional cut off...
those three sections r
QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE
VERBAL SECTION
TECHNICAL SECTION
2>technical interview
3>HR interview

give equal importance to al sections in aptitude test ...i m stressing this point more.... the questions in verbal were quite difficult....so i had to guess the words ..but if u have r preparing for competitive exams like gre,cat... then it will b an added feature to u & u can make it very fast... there will b passages, analogy,fill in the blanks with correct words, identify the wrong sentences & so on.... u must b fast enough... read the passage at the last if u have time....

then the quantitative aptitude section was quite easy & nice... i liked it.... there were questions on mixtures, series, profit& loss, puzzles which r easy, blood relationship, trains, clock, probability...... u have to do calculations fast.... that,s all... do al question whichever u feel easy first & then try for difficult ones...

technical was also quite straight forward like output from c program, unix commands & basics of C , atleast 1 vauge question... but u need not bother about it ,...if u r a cs or is student then u can easily crack it.....

MY TECHNICAL INTERVIEW
My technical interview went on for only about 8 minutes...my b i was lucky...
Sir: tell me about yourself?
Me:i am so & so.... bla bla bla.... i hv secured 84% aggre.....
Sir:which 2 subjects u like the most?
Me: i like data structures & C
Sir: then tell me what is data structure?
Me: data structure is the most basic form or the structure in which the data can b stored efficiently & from which the data can b accessed .for example arrays, structures, union, enum....
Sir: do u know what is memlock(something else i don't remember it properly) in C?
Me: no sir, i don't no about it, i have not come across it any time...
Sir: k,then do u no malloc?
Me: Yes sir, it is a function used to dynamically allocate memory ..... it returns void pointer & take in number of bytes as argument...
Sir: k then how can v convert void into int?
ME: By typecasting it
Sir: tell me about your projects?
Me: I told him about the project which i had done on b+ trees & one more on Database...
(He then was asking me about the project details.... which i cud answer easily....)
Sir: which domain do u like to work in?
Me: I like mobile communication & automation....
Sir: u r selected take this form & fill it up....

i was so happy .... since i had not prepared anything for technical.....

HR INTERVIEW
My HR interview was something very nice & interesting...as this was my first HR interview i was excited to face it....
Me: may I come in sir?
He: come in (he with small smile on his face) sit down
Me: good evening Sir...
He: Manu is this physics lab
Me: yes sir....(he saw Max Plancks picture on the wall)
He: tell me about Max Planck
Me:( I was surprised like i had never expected anything like this) then i told him that he is a scientist then he asked me about his contributions... i told him about Plancks contant.....& he asked me about quantum theory
(nothing came to my mind at that moment) I told him frankly that I don't remember (with smile) anything about quantum theory...
He:ok Manu...u have secured 84%agre .... tell me about your cet rank & about your current position in your class
Me: I told him that my pos was 470 & i stood 2nd in my class....
He: so your marks graph is not consistent.... u have got 80,90,81,82,75...so next you'll score 70
Me: Definitely no sir.... i have done well this semester exams...so ill surely get above 78 sir...
He: k where do u c yourself in next 3 r 5 yrs from now...
Me: sir I would like to b a team lead .... take up challenging projects....help my teammates to achieve the target..
He: k Manu I don't have any challenging projects.... so what will u do.... will u do whatever I give u?
Me: yes sir... ill do whatever u give... n add my own innovative ideas to it....
He: what all questions were there in technical round?
Me: (I told him al that I told u above..... it was just like an another technical round)
He: y didn't u take up any paper presentation?
Me: I like to do one sir... but I ddi'nt find time...as I am into so many other extra curriculum activities...like.... presently i m working as an active member of -- Organisation,i do anchoring spiritual functions....& so on ( i told him about my interests in spiritual science
& social service...)
He: k tell when will u do paper presentation?
Me: I thought of doing it in my 7th semester sir....
He: do u have any questions?
Me: yes sir, i heard that Wipro doesn't give call letter even after a year.. is that true sir?
He: yes...(he told something about demand& so on) but it depends on the college & its reputation....we do give fast response to top colleges like rvce pesit ....
u can leave...
Me: thank u sir

hey guys.... i would like to give u some tips.....

Directions for Questions 11-15: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage. Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated Circuit (IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from individual small-scale Integrated Circuits containing the equivalent of only a few transistors.

By integrating the processor onto one or a very few large-scale Integrated Circuit packages (containing the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete transistors), the cost of processor power was greatly reduced. The evolution of microprocessors has been known to follow Moore's Law when it comes to steadily increasing performance over the years.

This law suggests that the complexity of an Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum component cost will double in about 18 months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued increase in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over every other form of computer; every system from the largest mainframes to the smallest handheld computers now uses a microprocessor at their core. .As with many advances in technology, the microprocessor was an idea wbose time had come. Three projects arguably delivered a complete microprocessor at about the same time: Intel's 4004, Texas Instruments' TMS1000, and Garrett AiResearch's Central Air Data Computer.

A computer-on-a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor, which combines the microprocessor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one chip. The proper meaning of microcomputer is a computer using a (number of) microprocessor(s) as its CPU(s), while the concept of the patent is somewhat more similar to a micro controller.

11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?
A) Electronic computer
B) Central Processing Unit
C) Memory disk
D) A single integrated chip circuit.

12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.
A) Microprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.
B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper.
C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small scale ICs.
D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.

13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?
A) Microsoft
B) Intel
C) Texas Instruments
D) Garret

14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors?
A) Drivers for calculators
B) Core for large mainframes
C) Advanced mobile phones
D) Used for small handheld computers

15) "A number of microprocessors at its CPU" is an apt description of a:
A) 11icro-controller
B) Micro-computer
C) Micro-processor
D) Micro-transistor

Directions for Questions 16-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage. Dynamic Link Libraries Windows provides several files called dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that contain collections of software code that perform common functions such as opening or saving a file. When Windows application wants to use one of those functions or routines, the app sends a message to Windows with the names of the DLL file and the function. This procedure is known as calling a function. One of the most frequently used DLLs is Windows COMMDLG.DLL, which includes among others, the functions to display File Open, File Save, Search, and Print dialog boxes.

The application also sends any information the DLL function will need to complete the operation. For example, a program calling the Open File function in COMMDLG.DLL would pass along a file spec, such as *. * or *.DOC, to be displayed in the dialog box's Filename text box. The application also passes along a specification for the type of information it expects the DLL to return to the application when the DLL's work is done. The application, for example, may expect return information in the form of integers, true/false values, or text. Windows passes the responsibility for program execution to the DLL, along with the parameters and the return information the DLL will need. The specific DLL is loaded into memory, and then executed by the processor. At this point the DLL, rather than the application, runs things. The DLL performs all the operations necessary to communicate with Windows and, through Windows, with the PC's hardware. After the DLL function is complete, the DLL puts the return information into memory, where it can be found by the application, and instructs Windows to remove the DLL routine from memory. The application inspects the return information, which usually tells whether the DLL function was able to execute correctly. If the operation was a success, the application continues from where it left off before issuing the function call. If the operation failed, the application displays an error message.

16) By using DLLs, Windows:
A) Saves processing time
B) Multitasks
C) Shares program code
D) Communicates with PCs hardware

17) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:
A) Searches and copies it in the application code and executes it
B) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routine
C) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes it
D) Searches the location of the routine and instructs the application to execute it

18) Which information does an application need to passto Windows to use a DLL routine?
A) Just the name of the routine
B) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine to be executed in return
C) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parameters
D) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of information to be returned

19) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is executing, the calling application:
A) Waits for the routine to execute
B) Continues with other tasks
C) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with Windows and through Windows with the PC's hardware
D) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL and is removed from memory

20) The DLL function after execution returns:
A) The parameters and information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
B) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
C) To the calling application the information required by it so that it can inspect it
D) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether the function operation was a success

Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from miniaturized transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated Circuit (IC). Before the advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from individual small-scale Integrated Circuits containing the equivalent of only a few transistors. By integrating the processor onto one or a very few large-scale Integrated Circuit packages (containing the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete transistors), the cost of processor power was greatly reduced. The evolution of microprocessors has been known to follow Moore's Law when it comes to steadily increasing performance over the years.

This law suggests that the complexity of an Integrated Circuit with respect to minimum component cost will double in about 18 months. From humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued increase in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over every other form of computer; every system from the largest mainframes to the smallest handheld computers now uses a microprocessor at their core. .As with many advances in technology, the microprocessor was an idea wbose time had come. Three projects arguably delivered a complete microprocessor at about the same time: Intel's 4004, Texas Instruments' TMS1000, and Garrett AiResearch's Central Air Data Computer. . A computer-on-a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor, which combines the microprocessor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one chip. The proper meaning of microcomputer is a computer using a (number of) microprocessor(s) as its CPU(s), while the concept of the patent is somewhat more similar to a micro controller.

11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?
A) Electronic computer
B) Central Processing Unit
C) Memory disk
D) A single integrated chip circuit.

12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.
A) Microprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.
B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper.
C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small scale ICs.
D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it.

13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?
A) Microsoft
B) Intel
C) Texas Instruments
D) Garret

14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors?
A) Drivers for calculators
B) Core for large mainframes
C) Advanced mobile phones
D) Used for small handheld computers

15) "A number of microprocessors at its CPU" is an apt description of a:
A) 11icro-controller

Directions for Questions 16-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
Dynamic Link Libraries Windows provides several files called dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that contain collections of software code that perform common functions such as opening or saving a file. When Windows application wants to use one of those functions or routines, the app sends a message to Windows with the names of the DLL file and the function. This procedure is known as calling a function. One of the most frequently used DLLs is Windows COMMDLG.DLL, which includes among others, the functions to display File Open, File Save, Search, and Print dialog boxes. The application also sends any information the DLL function will need to complete the operation. For example, a program calling the Open File function in COMMDLG.DLL would pass along a file spec, such as *. * or *.DOC, to be displayed in the dialog box's Filename text box.

The application also passes along a specification for the type of information it expects the DLL to return to the application when the DLL's work is done. The application, for example, may expect return information in the form of integers, true/false values, or text. Windows passes the responsibility for program execution to the DLL, along with the parameters and the return information the DLL will need. The specific DLL is loaded into memory, and then executed by the processor. At this point the DLL, rather than the application, runs things. The DLL performs all the operations necessary to communicate with Windows and, through Windows, with the PC's hardware. After the DLL function is complete, the DLL puts the return information into memory, where it can be found by the application, and instructs Windows to remove the DLL routine from memory. The application inspects the return information, which usually tells whether the DLL function was able to execute correctly. If the operation was a success, the application continues from where it left off before issuing the function call. If the operation failed, the application displays an error message.

16) By using DLLs, Windows:
A) Saves processing time
B) Multitasks
C) Shares program code
D) Communicates with PCs hardware

17) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:
A) Searches and copies it in the application code and executes it
B) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routine
C) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes it
D) Searches the location of the routine and instructs the application to execute it

18) Which information does an application need to passto Windows to use a DLL routine?
A) Just the name of the routine
B) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine to be executed in return
C) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parameters
D) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of information to be returned

19) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is executing, the calling application:
A) Waits for the routine to execute
B) Continues with other tasks
C) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with Windows and through Windows with the PC's hardware
D) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL and is removed from memory

20) The DLL function after execution returns:
A) The parameters and information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
B) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
C) To the calling application the information required by it so that it can inspect it
D) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether the function operation was a success

VEDANTA PAPER ON 23rd SEPTEMBER AT KOTA

Hi, I m SUDHIR PARWAL (Electrical Engg.) I got selected in Vedanta Resources through campus interview in our college. I want to share my experience with u.

Screening of students is take place in four steps:-
1. very tough eligibility criteria
2. written test(totally from both R S Agarwal)
3. G.D
4. Interview (technical+hr both at a same time)

There were separate marks for written test, GD & Interview. The sum total of all the marks was taken for the final results. Although the written test was the only elimination round, they didn’t eliminate anyone in the GD.

Eligibility Criteria:
1. Ist class in Ist attempt in 10th 12th and in BE
2. Aggregate 60% in 10th 12th & BE
3. No history of Backlog
4. Maximum 1 year gap between 12th & BE
5. No gap b/w 10th & 12th
6. Must be medically fit (no colour blindness)

At first :-( Pre Placement Talk)

The session started with the PPT. It was of 1 hr.

2nd Round:-

The ppt was followed by a written test. It consists of 35 questions to be completed in 45 minutes. The questions were very simple but speed was the main factor. There was no negative marking in the written test.

The written consists of
1. 5 questions- Data Interpretation (Bar Graph problem)
2. aptitude questions (simple maths)
3. Venn diagram questions (refer r s agarwal whole chapter, do it first)
4. 5 questions- jumbled puzzles(R S Agarwal pg. 299)
5. 2 Questions-Analogy
6. 1question-syllogism
7. 5Questions-from Probability, chain rule, allegation of mixture, area

The aptitude questions were simple but time management is very important. They were mainly from both R.S. Aggrawal. The topics were- Average, Problems on ages, Percentage, Profit & Loss, problems on train, ratio, numbers, probability, chain rule, volume & surface area, series completion, coding& decoding, analogy(verbal), venn diagram, syllogism.

For Data interpretation, refer RS Aggrawal- quantitative aptitude.

3rd Round:-

The written test was the elimination round. It was followed by a Group Discussion. Out of 28 students 18 were selected for G.D.

They had made two groups of 10 & 8 students.
1. The topic for Ist group was “LIFE AFTER 100 YEARS”
2. The topic of the IInd group was “HUMAN AFTER DEATH, IN HEAVEN OR IN HELL”

don’t forget to go in the GD room with a pen & a register, they had given us one minute to think on the topic. They checked our registers what we had write in the register in that one min.

Nobody eliminated in the GD round.

4th Round:-

The last round was the Interview. The interview consists of Technical + HR

INTERVIEW
1. What about ur GD?
2. Tell me about yourself?
3. Reason for one year drop?
4. Future ambition?
5. Favourate subjects?

I have said microprocessor, transformer and machines. But he didn’t ask me any question from microprocessors.
6. Transformer rating in KVA but motor rating in KW, why?
7. What is power factor?
8. What is active and reactive power, difference?
9. What are the effects of reactive power, how can you reduce the effects of reactive power?
10. What is capacitor bank, how it works?
11. When reactive power enters the system, what happens in the system?
12. Can u explain all this technical terms to any laborer, worker?
13. different tests on the transformer, and their details?
14. conditions for parallel test?
15. types of faults, what are symm. And asymm. Faults?
16. At last the result was announced.

Total 10 students have been selected.

The health of nations can be measured by the food security and well-being of their people. An innovative programme in India shows how botanic gardens can contribute to that well-being by educating people about the uses of local biodiversity, particularly for healthcare and income-generation.
In 1994, the Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute in Kerala launched two outreach programmes - “Herbs for All and Health for All” and “Plants for All and Wealth for All”. The programmes teach people how to take care of their food, nutrition, hygiene and health by making the best use of the plant resources around them.
The Research Institute selected four rural villages as partners. A team of scientists, including botanists, experts in Ayurveda (a holistic system of healing, which evolved among the sages of India some 3000-5000 years ago), and sociologists visited the villages and met with local leaders to explain the programmes. The villages selected representatives to attend a two-day workshop in Kerala devoted to agro biodiversity and conservation.
The workshop particularly highlighted the role of home gardens as a tool for the community management of genetic resources. The students visited a model home garden at the institute, composed of many different medicinal and ornamental plants and vegetables. They were encouraged to take samples from the home garden with them when they returned to their villages.
The next step was intensive training on primary health care and the conservation and sustainable use of plant diversity. The trainees, a core group of 10 people selected from the workshop participants by each village, learned how to treat common ailments with plants conserved at the Botanic Garden.
At the end of the training, they were furnished with seedlings of medicinal plants and lesser known fruits and vegetables, as well as practical information on cultivating them back home.
Returning to their villages, the trainees each adopted 20 local families to educate in the preparation and use of plant-based herbal medicines, stressing the need for self-reliance in the primary health care of family members.
The programme has since been extended to other villages and the Botanic Garden and Research Institute has widened its reach even further by producing and distributing brochures, fliers and books in the local language on primary health care, commonly cultivated medicinal and aromatic plants and wild edible fruits and vegetables.
The Kerala programme has been recognized by the World Bank and international organizations as an inspiration for projects in developing countries.

Google Placement Paper and Sample Paper

1. Solve this cryptic equation, realizing of course that values for M and E could be interchanged. No leading zeros are allowed.

WWWDOT - GOOGLE = DOTCOM

This can be solved through systematic application of logic. For example, cannot be equal to 0, since . That would make , but , which is not possible.

Here is a slow brute-force method of solution that takes a few minutes on a relatively fast machine:

This gives the two solutions

777589 - 188106 == 589483
777589 - 188103 == 589486

Here is another solution using Mathematica's Reduce command:

A faster (but slightly more obscure) piece of code is the following:

Faster still using the same approach (and requiring ~300 MB of memory):

Even faster using the same approach (that does not exclude leading zeros in the solution, but that can easily be weeded out at the end):

Here is an independent solution method that uses branch-and-prune techniques:

And the winner for overall fastest:

This is the "look and say" sequence in which each term after the first describes the previous term: one 1 (11); two 1s (21); one 2 and one 1 (1211); one 1, one 2, and two 1's (111221); and so on. See the look and say sequence entry on MathWorld for a complete write-up and the algebraic form of a fascinating related quantity known as Conway's constant.

4. You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. There is a dusty laptop here with a weak wireless connection. There are dull, lifeless gnomes strolling around. What dost thou do?

A) Wander aimlessly, bumping into obstacles until you are eaten by a grue.
B) Use the laptop as a digging device to tunnel to the next level.

10. On an infinite, two-dimensional, rectangular lattice of 1-ohm resistors, what is the resistance between two nodes that are a knight's move away?

This problem is discussed in J. Cserti's 1999 arXiv preprint . It is also discussed in The Mathematica GuideBook for Symbolics, the forthcoming fourth volume in Michael Trott's GuideBook series, the first two of which were published just last week by Springer-Verlag. The contents for all four GuideBooks, including the two not yet published, are available on the DVD distributed with the first two GuideBooks.

11. It's 2PM on a sunny Sunday afternoon in the Bay Area. You're minutes from the Pacific Ocean, redwood forest hiking trails and world class cultural attractions. What do you do?

[This exercise is left to the reader.]

12. In your opinion, what is the most beautiful math equation ever derived?

There are obviously many candidates. The following list gives ten of the authors' favorites:

1. Archimedes' recurrence formula : , , ,
2. Euler formula :
3. Euler-Mascheroni constant :
4. Riemann hypothesis: and implies
5. Gaussian integral :
6. Ramanujan's prime product formula:
7. Zeta-regularized product :
8. Mandelbrot set recursion:
9. BBP formula :
10. Cauchy integral formula:

An excellent paper discussing the most beautiful equations in physics is Daniel Z. Freedman's " Some beautiful equations of mathematical physics ." Note that the physics view on beauty in equations is less uniform than the mathematical one. To quote the not-necessarily-standard view of theoretical physicist P.A.M. Dirac, "It is more important to have beauty in one's equations than to have them fit experiment."

13. Which of the following is NOT an actual interest group formed by Google employees?

B. Buffy fans
C. Cricketeers
D. Nobel winners
E. Wine club

A) 1
B) 3
C) 5
D) 11
E) 24

16. Given a triangle ABC, how would you use only a compass and straight edge to find a point P such that triangles ABP, ACP and BCP have equal perimeters? (Assume that ABC is constructed so that a solution does exist.)
This is the isoperimetric point , which is at the center of the larger Soddy circle. It is related to Apollonius' problem . The three tangent circles are easy to construct: The circle around has diameter , which gives the other two circles. A summary of compass and straightedge constructions for the outer Soddy circle can be found in " Apollonius' Problem: A Study of Solutions and Their Connections" by David Gisch and Jason M. Ribando.

17. Consider a function which, for a given whole number n, returns the number of ones required when writing out all numbers between 0 and n. For example, f(13)=6. Notice that f(1)=1. What is the next largest n such that f(n)=n?

The following Mathematica code computes the difference between [the cumulative number of 1s in the positive integers up to n] and [the value of n itself] as n ranges from 1 to 500,000:

The solution to the problem is then the first position greater than the first at which data equals 0:

which are the first few terms of sequence A014778 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences.

Checking by hand confirms that the numbers from 1 to 199981 contain a total of 199981 1s:

18. What is the coolest hack you've ever written?

While there is no "correct" answer, a nice hack for solving the first problem in the SIAM hundred-dollar, hundred-digit challenge can be achieved by converting the limit into the strongly divergent series:

and then using Mathematica's numerical function SequenceLimit to trivially get the correct answer (to six digits),

You must tweak parameters a bit or write your own sequence limit to get all 10 digits.

[Other hacks are left to the reader.]

19. 'Tis known in refined company, that choosing K things out of N can be done in ways as many as choosing N minus K from N: I pick K, you the remaining.

This simply states the binomial coefficient identity .

Find though a cooler bijection, where you show a knack uncanny, of making your choices contain all K of mine. Oh, for pedantry: let K be no more than half N.

'Tis more problematic to disentangle semantic meaning precise from the this paragraph of verbiage peculiar.

20. What number comes next in the sequence: 10, 9, 60, 90, 70, 66, ?

A) 96
B) 1000000000000000000000000000000000\
0000000000000000000000000000000000\
000000000000000000000000000000000
C) Either of the above
D) None of the above

This can be looked up and found to be sequence A052196 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, which gives the largest positive integer whose English name has n letters. For example, the first few terms are ten, nine, sixty, ninety, seventy, sixty-six, ninety-six, …. A more correct sequence might be ten, nine, sixty, googol, seventy, sixty-six, ninety-six, googolplex. And also note, incidentally, that the correct spelling of the mathematical term " googol" differs from the name of the company that made up this aptitude test.

The first few can be computed using the NumberName function in Eric Weisstein's MathWorld packages:

A mathematical solution could also be found by fitting a Lagrange interpolating polynomial to the six known terms and extrapolating:
