Webyog Interview Question 2014

Hi Guys,

I know its been ages since i last updated this blog. Thanks to a reader I finally have sat down to do a new post. I have another first hand account of webyog interview, this time from a reader who sat on  14th Sept 2014. Here is what she commented on the last years post i paste it here as it is.

I have written the webyog test on 14th sept, 2014. There was no question related to aptitude. Questions were as follows:

1. Which feature in C/C++/Java you don't like? Give a suggestion to make it better.

2. What is class? How classes help into improving programing.

There were 8 questions from coding. Each two were from C, Java, Java script and Dot net. You have to attempt any 4 questions.

3. Search and remove a particular node from linked list. (C/C++)

4. If a user enters any number then you have to print the English name of that number.
example : 1 -> one
                   120 -> one hundred twenty
                   8760 -> eight thousand seven hundred sixty

5. What is the best way in java to search and remove duplicates. Give a sample program.

6.Given two arrays : {1,2,3,4,5} and {2,3,0,1,5}
Find the element in second array which is not present in first array in java.

7. ) delete the duplicate words in the following sentence in java script
     this is is very very good


I only could remember these question. There were 10 questions total. Time duration was 60 min. Thanks

 I have decided to do a new post for this so that its more accessible. And Special thanks for my special reader. Read, Learn and Share

Last years questions are still available here Webyog interview questions

eLitmus Software Developer interview questions

I'm back once again, and in this post i'll be sharing Question asked in the first round of recruitment drive held by eLitmus for the post of Software developer. This paper is purely memory based and only one set, whatever I had access to when I sat for this drive.

Hope you find it useful. Here it goes...

eLitmus Interview Questions

1>     Write an algorithm to reverse an String word by word (Not character by character) E.g. Given String is “I work for eLitmus, and I am 21 years old!”

Output should be : “o ldye ars amIande, Lit m us 21 forwo rkI!”

Description: only alphabets should change their positions , special characters should retain their initial positions.

There are to methods give is_alphabet(char) returns true if char is alphabet

And reverse(String)    reverses the string like “eLitmus” becomes “sumtiLe”

2>     A puzzle which was very confusing I didn’t understand a thing.

3>     There are five dices to display dates like 17APR

Face having 6 is used interchangeably for 6 and 9. Letter dices have letter without repeat to display all months in that format except Aug which is represented by VAC

Find all digits on dice having 6 and all letters on dice having letter L

4>

Three table having relational database of movie reviews. We have to write two SQL queries both involve join and one self-join.

5: Which data base will be best suited for storing recent History in a web browser. Justify your answer.

6: pre order to post order binary tree 

Technology JK

7: which online portals you use to keep yourself updated with technical news. List all.

8: List open source technologies developed by a) Facebook b)Google apart from android c)Oracle d)Twitter e)Microsoft

9) Which of these is not a mobile OS a)Bada b)FirefoxOS c)WebOS d)PhoneGap e)Symbian

 Keep checking back for more. And  dont forget to like, share and comment or else I might end up not bothering with updating my blog.

Peace.

 

Reversing string in c using pointers

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void print_reverse_string(const char *str)
{
    const char *src = str + strlen(str);
    while (src > str)
        putchar(*--src);
}

void reverse_string_and_print(char *str)
{
    char *src = str;
    char *end = src + strlen(src) - 1;
    while (end > src)
    {
        char t = *end;
        *end-- = *src;
        *src++ = t;
    }
    //return str;
   printf("%s", str);
}

char* reverse_string(char *str)
{
    char *src = str;
    char *end = src + strlen(src) - 1;
    while (end > src)
    {
        char t = *end;
        *end-- = *src;
        *src++ = t;
    }

   return str;
   //printf("%s", str);
}

int  main(void){

    char data[50]= "";

    printf("Enter any string:\n");

    gets(data);

    printf("%s\n", data);
    printf("%s \n", reverse_string(data));
    printf("%s\n", data);

    return(0);
}

I have written the abbove code to reverse an string using pointers. I assume that the above code is self explanatory but still if you want any clarification use the comment section below post.

CGI fresher recruitment drive

CGI Group has been recruiting freshers through eLitmus. Most of their recruitment drives are conducted by eLitmus. In this post I'll discuss how CGI recruitment drive is carried out.

There were all together four rounds. Ill be discussing each in details.

First Round: Aptitude Test

First round was an aptitude test. The difficulty level was not too hard and you had to do only 12 out of 25 questions to qualify for the next round. Yes there was a specified cut-off marks. No negative markings. The most distinct part of the aptitude test was that there were a few questions from Operation Research . There were questions from Traveling Salesman problem, Shortest path algorithm etc.

Round Two: Group Discussion

This round was a simple group discussion round. In total there were about 10 - 11 candidates in each group.Emphasis was on communication skills and not the content of your idea. Every one was given a chance to speak and the whole discussion was lead by the coordinator. There was no chance of it becoming a machli bazaar.

Round Three: Personal Interview

In this round, it was a one to one face to face interview. Questions were basically from your resume. They'll ask a lot of question about your final year project. Your proficiencies in programming languages etc. Well they at least interviewed me in that way.  They person who went before me was interviewed only in 5 minutes and not selected. So make sure you don't blow it up just by walking in. My interview ran over half an hour.

Round Four: HR Interview

No idea what happened there, I didn't make it to this round.

That's it and please don't ask me exactly what they give in aptitude test I don't have that sharp memory.

Peace.

Webyog Interview

Hi!

This post is about the interview process of the company which hires through elitmus and pays huge salary, Webyog. The guys working in Webyog pronounce it like web-yog, yog like yolk. They have a feeling that they are some US type companies and the want to imitate US guys in every action.

Back to the topic.

Who do they call? 

What ever I have been able to gather they seem to call anyone who has got more than 90 percentile overall in elitmus ph test. However I did find some people who had slightly less than that too. They don't seem to bother about the sectional marks. Even if they do they are not looking for high percentile in problem solving section I can assure you of that.

How many people do they call?

They conduct the recruitment drive at some college. They call a lot of people, they have no other option. Be prepared to see more than 100 competitors if you have been called. 

How many rounds?

I am not 100% sure exactly how many round they take but its definitely three or more. First is a written test to check your programming abilities and then there are at least two interviews.

Whats there in written test?

Its mostly programming. They give 8 question out of which you have to solve any four. two questions are from Java, two from C/C++, two from JavaScript, and two from dot net . you don't have to answer question from all sections, you have to answer only four question overall. Questions seems to be repeated and Ill be sharing with you the paper I faced and another one. Hushhhhh.... don't tell anybody. Its a secret between just me and you. You can download Webyog interview question here. Now you have two sets of question papers go for the test well prepared. I can assure you you'll get at least four question from these two papers. Don't repeat the mistake I made by assuming its all bull shit. They say wise is the person who learns from his mistakes and wiser is the one who learns from others mistake. 

What comes next?

Waiting... and some more waiting. If you get selected you might get a call/ email for the next round of interview. If you don't you have to wait for around 15 days before they'll finally let you know that you haven't been selected. All these days your heart will keep pounding.

For ease of access I am embedding the file I created for preparation here. Yes you can have it too. Go on download, share as many times as you like.

e Litmus pH test exposed II

Sorry for the delay. I promised to do a post on complete procedure of eLitmus but the wait is finally over. In this post Ill reveal the entire procedure of how you get job through elitmus.

So here it goes...



The first thing you have to do is register yourself  with elitmus on their website.

Next step plan a test. Test are conducted in all major cities across India with an approx frequency of around one a month. Test fees is Rs 750 at the time of publishing this blog.

eLitmus

 

Now comes the real issue. You have to prepare for the test. The test has three parts;

1. Verbal Ability
2. Problem Solving
3. Quantitative Aptitude

Now the problem is that I cant help you much with the preparation part. Why? Well I took the test without any preparation. On the elitmus forum is written that the test has difficulty level of CAT but I didn't find it difficult at all. Thats that, find your own ways for preparing. And if you as brave as me you can head to the examination hall without any preparation.

Now come the question hows test conducted.

I took the test in Calcutta center. Ill be describing how its conducted there. The procedure might differ in some other center.

Once you have paid for the test they'll email you your admit card which will be a password protected PDF. All the information related to test like venue timing etc will be given in that.

My tets was conducted in St Xavier, Park St, Calcutta. Most of the procedure is same as any other test. Its a 2 hours test. And you'll not be allowed to go anywhere in those two hours. So make sure you're done with all you needs before sitting for the elitmus test. ;)

As I told you it has three section, each section has 20 question. And yes there are negative markings as well. But its a little lenient. You marks wont be deducted unless  more than 25% of question in a section are wrong.

How much do I have to score to qualify?

For Quantitative aptitude and problem solving; doing 8 questions correctly will guarantee around 95 percentile. You'll be on cloud nine with that score.  For Verbal reasoning 15-16 out of 20 will be enough.

If you get that much you'll be getting interview calls from almost all companies that recruit through elitmus.

I have seen students with less that 90 overall getting calls.

One thing you need to make sure is that you score over 80 in all sections.

Thats it for the elitmus pH test.

What happens after that?

eLitmus

Companies call you for recruitment drives, which are very similar to drives conducted in college campuses.

In upcoming posts Ill be talking about how the drives are conducted. Obviously Ill only be discussing the once I have attended.

If you want some more info don't feel shy while commenting.  

Later.

eLitmus pH test exposed

If you have ever wanted to know how is the eLitmus pH test conducted, you must have by know realized that find proper info is just impossible on the internet. I have tried Google, I have tried Bing, I have tried Yahoo and all I could, I have exhausted reading the eLitmus forum, all in vain. But the good news is that I have taken this test and know I know it inside out.

I am planning to do a complete spoiler of eLitums pH test but….. Ill wait till results are out. Only then you’ll get to know the firsthand experience.

Till then keep waiting and if you are really desperate let me know, ill try to hurry it up. 

elitmus pH test has been exposed in this post.
