HP Pattern
80 Que 75 minutes
40 Que on cse subjects
They mainly concentrated on
OS(Important),FAFL,DBMS,SS,UNIX(only 2 que),c++,Network(Basic)
20 Que on c.
20 Que on Aptitude+English+Logical
Preparation:
For C,C++--> Test ur C,C++ skills by Yashvanth kanithakar
For Java--> any good book.
Pattern:
48Q totally
12Q in General computer test?(Concentrate more on ceo's and founders of HP,Microsoft,intel,sap etc..)It even includes Q in OS,N/wing
12Q on C,
12Q on C++
12Q n java
All section r compulsory..(Even for Non java guys)
U can find one paper in www.freshersworld.com
In the interview( ie ont he 2nd ropund..they will ask Q mostly in C,C++,Java.The employee who r asking the Q r very jovial.So develop ur confidence level.They mostly ask abt ur latest projects,
If u clear this level..next will be HR round.
If u clear the second round mostly..u r selected(90%).
HR is just for a formality..
The interview pattern will be as:
1. Tell abt your self.
2. They will ask for the subjects in which we are strong
( Here they will consider the ranking that we written during written
examination & marks we got in written exam)
3. Mostly the interview time will be 45 minutes around (for only
people there is about 1.5 hr)
4. HR questions may include here
5. Good thing is They r friendly and cooperative so confidence place
role.
If u don't know the answer better not to answer than to tell some bad
stuff.
For me 2 people interviewd. As I told them that I am strong in C
they told me to write some programs like double linked list, singly
linked list(adding node at last), macros, const *,char *,pointer
arrays.
The main question that they asked was how can u compile or
execute 'c' program without editor. (Using TCC utility)
coming 2 cpp only 1 question i.e what is polymorphism.
Java they asked me about protocol used in JSP, which layer does it
belongs to, main differences between _Javascript ,java and JSP.
During personal introduction try to excell your capabilities by
giving examples like as fast learner, hard worker like..!
If u have any achievements & awards try 2 put them all during
personal INtroduction.
The interviewers are very co-operative and highly friendly (so
confidence plays vital role)

Hi friends,
I am sorry for I will be mailing to u all the
questions i know today by 6 pm.Anyway Test was easy
.There were 48 questions.There were 3 series of quesn
papers.
So prepare in general dont rely on the quesns that iam
going to send.
12 questions in each section
1> General IT information(easy)
2> C/C++ (very easy)
3> Computer Concepts(Database,Unix,....)
4> Java/JdBC (little tough)
The test comprises of 4 sections:
Section A. ------50qns(general appitude,english etc):
Section B. ------ 10 Questions on Computer concepts.
Section C. ------ 30 Questions on C
Duration 90min, no negative marking. one mark per question .
Once this is cleared then u must take a c programming test duration 40min.
5 programs,each got differnet papers.one i got was
1.WAP find and replace a character in a string.
2.WA function to perform the substraction of two .
Eg:char N1="123",N2="478",N3=-355(N1-N2).
3.WAP dynamically intialize a 2 dimentional array Eg:5x20,accept strings and check for vowels and display the no.finally free the space allocated .
4.WAP read a line from file from location N1 to N2 using command line agruments
Eg:exe 10 20 a.c freshersworld.com
5.WAP find the largest of 4 no using macros.
Some questions that i remember are...................

Ans: find out??:-)
3> c/c++ section: questions on c/c++, programs o/p etc.

{
unsigned int i=3; freshersworld.com
while( i >=0)
printf( "%d", i--);
}
how many times will the printf stmt be executed?
a)0 b)3 c)4 d)infinite
Ans: I think the answer is infinite, b'cos 'i' is an unsigned integer and it will not decrement below '0' and hence end up in an infinite loop.(yes, i checked and it is getting stuck in an infinite loop)
2) main( )
{
int x,y, z;
x=2;
y=5;
z= x+++y;
printf("%d %d %d", x, y z);
}
a)3 5 7 b)option 2 c)option 3 d)option 4
Ans: a
3) # define swap(a,b) temp=a; a=b; b=temp;
main( )
{ freshersworld.com
int i, j, temp;
i=5;
j=10;
temp=0;
if( i > j)
swap( i, j );
printf( "%d %d %d", i, j, temp);
}
Ans: On compiling i got ans 10, 0, 0. I did not understand the concept. Please expalin this to me.
