They had 4 rounds viz:-
1) Aptitude test
2) Technical test ( C )
3) Group Discussion
4) Personal Interview.
Each round is an elimination round.
For Aptitude test,
there were 40 questions to be solved in 60 minutes.
Questions were based on geometry, profit and loss,
percentages and arithmetic.
For technical test,
it was completely on C.
There were 30 questions to be solved in 30 minutes.
For most of the questions, a few lines of code were given,
and the output/result of the code was to be determined.
There were 7-8 True - False type of questions.
For Group Discussion,
they divided us into groups of 10, gave us a topic,
and we had to discuss for 20 minutes. At the end of the it,
the instructor would select 1 person who should summarize
the entire discussion.
For Personal Interview,
They made us fill up a form, and then generally asked us about
our answers which we had given.
Questions include : Strengths/ weaknesses,
career goals, about being transferred to another location etc.
Moreover, i was also asked about the type of books i read and
current affairs.
They also go through the resume in detail and asked
about extra-curricular activities.
Well, i am glad that i made it.
As for the experience, i feel, any one can make it.
The only thing that should be kept in mind is, i guess,
one should be prepared.
I don't mean that one has to do extensive preparation,
but just brushing up of important topics in maths,
revising concepts of C, learnt earlier should be enough.
As for GD/PI, confidence is important.
There was only aptitude test of 40 questions with negative marking of -1 for each wrong answer.I could recollect only few of them .

if u prepare rs agarwal u can easily clear it.
after completing this within 1 hr they anounced the slected
candidates .
2. 2nd round technical round. questions are from JSP, EJB and
IPLANET SERVER. to complete this u must be thorough in JSP Basics
like syntax of expressions,drectives etc, and EJB also they
concentrated on basics only they asked questions abt message
driven beans also.
3.in the interview they asked abt the projects and some questions
from JSP,Servlets, Core JAVA they will ask questions basing on
whst u tell them for the question WHAT ARE U R CORE SKILLS? and
Projects i.e if u kept EJB project certainly they will ask
questions from EJB.
1) Aptitude
