Process

Round 1: MCQ (No negative marking)

This was an online round with 50 questions to be completed in 60 minutes. The questions covered aptitude, C output, operating system concepts, networking, and data structures. For aptitude, following RS Aggarwal is sufficient. Practicing quizzes from GeeksforGeeks is also recommended, as some questions were from there.

Round 2: Technical Round

The technical round was conducted the day after the online test. I was given a star pattern and asked to write code to print it. Questions on subnetting were asked. Some aptitude questions from time and work were also included. They also presented a situation to assess how I would perform in critical scenarios.

Questions

  1. Write code for bubble sort.

  2. What are the OSI layers, and explain them.

  3. What are pointers?

  4. A puzzle: We have two pits with capacities of 5 and 4 liters. How will you measure 2 liters of water with these pots?
