The paper consists os three sections.
1. aptitude 15 questions 20 min.
2. system concepts 20 questions 20 min.
3. 'c' 15 questions 20 min.
NOTE:::::
I'm sendin the questions, somany have no answers. U do check the
answers for all the given questions also.
All questions are MULTIPLE CHOICES ONLY.
U do try to cover the related topics to get some understanding.
In interview They are asking C C++ Operating system concepts
and Networks.
They will ask about Ur interesting subjects, U try to have good
grip on those intresting subjects.
They selected 11 out of 55 students.
They asked about c c++ project work and OS,NETWORKS.
But they selected only 2 , one from CS and another is BTech ECE.
SECTION 1 is main factor selection to the interview
In the interveiw you should be very active .And should be frank to say
no also.One CS student said that he don't know NETWORK and he hasn't
taken NETWORKS subject.But he has selected.
OK BEST OF LUCK.
section 1
*. GRE book test paper 3 section 5
question no. 8 to 12 (ships WXYZ starting on dec. 23rd..........)

ANS: tuesday is the holiday
P comes on wednesday ,
U can do the remaining very easily.
* Suppose U R the presoner, There are two guards Who will tell truth or

i. are U tell truth?
ii. another tell truth or not??
iii. both of U R telling truth??

( I can't give exact thing)
* There are WIFE and HUSBAND at one side of river. They have one child,

printf("%d %d",a[i],i[a]);
what is the value??? (may be error)
13.
some other program is given , I can't remember it
U can get it afterwads,
the answer is 3 3, so U can check this in the exam. itself.
