Another user has been kind enough to share the question which he got and which are different from what has been written in the last post Here is what he's got to say...

Hello..
I have also written the test on 14th sep 2014.. I got these questions i'm sharing with you other than shubhangi mentioned..

Technical questions:
1: which database you like most and why..
2: why do you think coding convention is required? give examples.

JAVA
1: print all the subsets which can be formed from a user given string. example: user inputs 'abc', then print {}, {a}, {b}, {c}, {ab}, {bc}, {ac}, {abc}
2: override Object class's equals() method such that it can work for Integer

JAVA SCRIPT:
1: write regular expression to check an ip address if it is valid.

Please make full use of the info before hand.

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.

Peace.

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.

Answer to one question asked in webyog drive has been posted in Reversing a String in Java Post

Webyog Interview 2014 have now also been added to the blog.
