There were around 700-800 students from different colleges which they had invited for opencampus in SRMCEM lucknow . We had to report at 8.30 am but the written startred at 12.30 am .

first round of written consist of

1. 25 logical reasoning

2. 15 verbal reasoning

and the duration was 60 minutes .

Logical reasoning contains

1-5 on blood realtion

6-10 analytical reasoning

11-13 on coding(quite tough)

20-25 on which type of statement (assertive,supportive, counter part, etc)

Verbal contained

1-5 find inferences

6-10 synonym ,antonym (just based on some relation)

11-15 correction of sentences

As they din�t mentioned cutoff, so try to attempt a solid attempt of 15 in logical and 7 in verbal . I think in my case the cutoff was 13 and 6.

After tht result was declared after 4 hour at 5.15 pm .my name was there , then they told me for interview just after 5-10 minutes .i was the first candidate .interview was fully technical and took 20 minutes .

Then interview goes like this�

Q1.., what do u know about syntel?

A1.. (as I really din�t knew) I said confidently and in a straight way tht �I really don�t know about syntel�

He was amazed and said tht � you are appearing for interview and u don�t know abt company �. And then I told him about my busy schedule(as I was doing summer training in iit kanpur ) .

then he moved through my form(which they gave us after declaration of result) and cv and as I mentioned c, paper presentation, summertraining project etc

Q2� tell me abt ur self.

A2 �blab la ( explore ur self and tell them about ur positive points and achievement)

Q3� he said me to write a simple c program of �swap two number without using third variable�

A3 � this was an easy one

Q4� then questions on c .he asked me datatypes , libraries, uses of libraries etc..

Q5 (as I mentioned paper presentation in my form and cv) he asked me to explain my paper .( be sure for whtever u write in ur resume)

Q6� then he moved to my summertraining project and said me to tell him abt project and wht technologies I have used.

Q7� as I was working on shell programming by listening this (he was impressed)

And thrown some question on shell programming

Like , how many types of shell are thr, And command in shell programming ?

Q8�.now he moved to datastructure

And asked about linked list

And bubble sort�

Q9�. Then he asked me to explain software life cycle�

Q10� finally he said me to ask any question to him( at last I got chance to ask a question to him )

In this question I asked hoe to inhace my expressing power( as I was quite confident but was lacking while explaining in a proper way)

So afterall I will say tht work on ur communication skill( he said me directly tht they are looking for gudcommunication skill) but donn impose this weakness on ur self if u r confident for whtever u studied in ur btech courses no one can ignore u .and yes keep smiling and work on whtever u mention in ur cv ( write only wht u have really did and in which u r confident) afterall be truthfull and confident .

All the best
