			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Friends and CountryMen,</p>
<p>FINALLY GOT IT !!! YES !! YES!! I AM SELECTED IN <strong>TATA INFOTECH LTD.(TIL, Pune)<br />
</strong><br />
Well as it is said that “Failure leads to SUCCESS”. It was a long path for me to reach this day.</p>
<p>The Journey started after my 3rd year of college when companies started to come for Campus.</p>
<p>First of all <strong>L&#038;T and TCS came for which I was not eligible</strong>. Then, after few months, comes the Polaris in which i couldn’t clear the written test.</p>
<p>…. this was almost end of campus……..as many my college colleagues started applying directly to the company and attending their walkins……………</p>
<p><strong>Then I went for the Infosys written … but again i couldn’t clear the written</strong>…..</p>
<p>After this I appeared for interview in many Baroda local companies like <strong>Forte Infotech</strong> for VB,VB.net post (where i cleared their written test), .. at Chase infotech (Ahmedabad for same)……and 1-2 similar companies…..But one thing i gained from this is that i got <strong>experience to face interviews</strong>.</p>
<p>Later comes to our campus..<strong>VCustomer (A BPO)…</strong>I cleared first round… but couldn’t clear telephonic interview………..</p>
<p><strong>After it was TCS</strong> where I cleared written Test and Technical but couldn’t cleared HR…It was an achievement for me as I was among 150 (round abt) candidates from 2500 who went for HR but couldn’t made among top 50-60 who were actually selected……………..</p>
<p>then it was <strong>Applitech Infotech Ltd</strong> (again Ahemdabad local company) where The HR called me and told me to join but salary was too low….though company is very good……………..but still I was not interested…..</p>
<p>Lastly, When i was rejected from TCS i was much disappointed…. but on the 18th Sept. i came to know abt walkin of <strong>TATA INFOTECH</strong> at PUNE on 20th Sept. I just confirmed it and in a rash booked tickets for going to Pune on 19th Sept. I reached pune on 19th evening and went for the walkin next day. There were more than 1500 people at walkin…I was in the 3rd batch for the written each batch consisting of more than 300 people………………….It was a tough fight………</p>
<p>From 1st batch only 11 could cleared the written….from 2nd only 16 and from 3rd only 10…i was among the 10 (…………..among one of happiest moment………)</p>
<p>Next day i was called for the Tech &#038; HR ……they told to mail or contact within 3-4 days…On 28th morning 10:00 am I rang them …they told that result would be declared today itself and so i should check my mail by evening ……………and….@ 3:30pm I got the mail that “Nikhil Congrats !! You are selected and confirm your acceptance for Pre Employement Medical test (just a routine body checkup)”<br />
…………….(HAPPIEST MOMENT Till now)…………………………..</p>
<p><strong>TIL has a package of 2.5 lac p.a</strong> (as one the candidate told me….) with a 1 yr bond…….</p>
<p>Hence, i reach this day in a step by step manner……..well failure leads to success.</p>
<p>So friends, at the end, I would like to say “try again..try again..until u succeed”. Never lose Hope. GOD is always their with you.</p>
<p>Luv u all<br />
Nikhil

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>hi friends.. regarding accenture interview.. this is my view..<br />
Aptitude test had most of the questions Based on <strong>Venn diagram</strong> .. and it is more than sufficient if u refer GRE Barrons Quans and RS .Agarwal.</p>
<p>The <strong>technical paper had 2 parts C and C++</strong> .. you have to clear both these sections. they have separate cut off for Both .. Only if you satisfy this criteria you will attend the next HR and Final technical interview.</p>
<p>we had <strong>HR round first</strong> .. where they look for <strong>good communication and soft skills</strong>.. out of 576 students who took up test 45 cleared and of this 45.. 9 got rejected .. (not sure of the number)</p>
<p>then we had our technical interview.. before this you will be asked to <strong>fill up a form</strong> where you can write your primary skill set depending upon your choice .. i took up  mainframes and so i wrote the same there ..For a fresher it is enough if you put C or Java .. But be prepared and confident in any one language .. you will asked to write simple coding ..</p>
<p>my <strong>interview was for about 28-30 mins</strong> .. they asked me only on Cobol,DB2 and cics.. all basic qns.. but if u dont know something ,. pls tell you dont know ..</p>
<p><strong>DO NOT ATTEMPT OR TRY TO IMPRESS THE PANEL</strong>.<br />
It is easy to get through ONLY IF YOU ARE CONFIDENT .. SO BE CONFIDENT,RELAXED..<br />
All the best for people who are taking up the tests and Interview.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Regarding Accenture, most of them have asked me how I applied to ACCENTURE.<br />
So, I have applied thru their site(Junior Software Engineer) and also thru thr Job Fair for Experience people</p>
<p><strong><u>Written </u></strong>:</p>
<p>About thr pattern <strong>do not follow Old paper pattern</strong>.</p>
<p>Paper had 5 sections-<br />
Sec I <strong>English</strong>(very easy, 4-5 vocab, grammar, sentence completion, RC)<br />
Sec II <strong>Aptitude</strong>(10 ques on Venn diagram, 2 on probab,5 on  mulplication and Division)<br />
Sec III <strong>Mental Ability</strong>(very simple, try to score 10/10,</p>
<p>eg - 1234.5678   1234.5678  1234567.445</p>
<p>u need to tell all three are similar, none are similar, 2 r similar,   1 Q(5 sub ques) on conditions given and u need to select candidates on various criteria )No practice required for this.</p>
<p>Sec IV  <strong>C ques</strong>(do pointers(not in too depth),malloc,calloc,structures,for,ifloops very well)<br />
Sec V  <strong>C++(</strong>virtual const and destr, templates, access specifiers, OOPS conceps, virtual functions)</p>
<p><strong>GD :</strong> They do not look how relevant u speak they only look u can shout or not so plz speak if u want to clear this round.</p>
<p><strong>HR Interview:</strong> Its very simple if u satisfy eligibility criteria and know something about ACCENTURE u will clr it.<br />
Technical + Final Interview :They ask everything regarding ur project and some technical(C,C++) and HR question. If u r in final round this means u r almost in.</p>
<p><strong>ACCENTURE in every stage looks how much ur confident in communication. If ur a good communicator then ur sure to clr the Intr rounds.</strong>

<p>YL: are we Bengali or any other religion???</p>
<p>YM: tell us any website from where u can get all tcs previous questions???</p>

<p>YL: do u have a girlfriend???</p>
<p>I: yes. I don’t differentiate btwn  boyfrnd and  girlfrnd . Thats why I have a lot of them!!</p>
<p>YL: will u marry ur galfrnd???</p>
<p>I: I am only 23. I want to give my spouse all comforts of life that’s why I will marry after achieving all pleasures and comforts of life!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>YL: do u want yr spouse to be from IT industry or a non-it???</p>
<p>YL: do u want yr spouse to cook food 4 u or to b a careeristic???</p>
<p>I: I want her to b self-dependant to live her life of her own!!!!!!</p>
<p>YL: if she hags out with her boss?? Come late at night???</p>
<p>I: I have faith in her. As long there is love-bond btwn us there is no problem and she will not do anything to hurt my feelings. (She was impressed!!!!!!)</p>
<p>YL: if she works in an equally competitive environment in a company better than yrs??</p>
<p>I: (at this point I was frustrated. I want to stop the gal frnd episode) Carrer is my first gal friend. Others come after that.</p>
<p>YM: derive complexity for bubblesort</p>

<p>I: software collection, listening to English hard rock, reading autobiography</p>
<p>YL: whose autobiography???</p>
<p>I: business @ speed of thought by bill gates…………</p>
<p>YL: what kind of books u read???? Fiction or non-fiction???</p>
<p>YM: what the latest version of windows???</p>

<p>YL: what type of hard-rock??? do ever people around u complain to loud noise??? Why u listen to hard-rock??? Name some famous rock stars.</p>
<p>YM: career plan?? How can u contribute to tcs???</p>
<p>YM: mention some point abt yrself not written in yr bio-data??? Beware if u say something common yr candidature will simply be cancelled?????</p>
<p>YM: ready to sign agreement bond now????</p>
<p>YL: what other companies u appeared for???? Why were u rejected ????</p>
<p>YM: do u have any question???</p>
<p>I: <strong>career path in tcs</strong>???? How can u become a project manager with tcs provided u perform well??? How tcs is going to be among global top 10 by 2010???? How was my performance??? How can I improve myself????</p>
<p>Just remember to get yr attitude right. Guys remember <strong>besides apti and interviews dress code, smartness, eye contact, positive attitude, friendliness, blue form, communication skill, extra curricular activity, general knowledge, presentation, iq, mental ability, decision taking ability are also tested during interviews</strong>. This is from a personal experience besides ask the interviewer as many questions as u can. Show the interviewer u r dying 2 get in his organisation.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi !!</p>
<p>I m really pleased to tell you that after so many attempts I have finally made it into satyam. For all the freshers I would just like to say one thing that dont give up, there is something for all of us. I have to join in hyderabad on 12 march.</p>
<p>I appeared for satyam test on 4-5 march in delhi.</p>
<p>Here I m giving u the idea abt how the paper was as I dont remember the exact questions .I m really sorry that I couldnt give the paper early .I know some people have exam on 10th in hyderabad but guys dont worry the <strong>paper was really very simple</strong>.The <strong>paper contains 15 questions</strong> that u have to attempt in just <strong>30 min</strong>.Here be careful as there is negative marking as well.The cutoff goes at max 7 marks( not more than this so only attempt questions u r sure about).</p>
<p>This is a <strong>completely aptitude and logical reasoning round</strong>. Prepare chapters well from <strong>R.S agarwal</strong> like clocks ,calendar,ratio n proportion,compound interest,time n work.<br />
now the qs</p>
<p>1.   its was on clocks.if the time is 15:20 wat is the angle between the min and the hour hand  (Ans: 20 degrees)</p>
<p>2.  compound interest  ( I dont remember the qs)</p>
<p>3.  logical reasoning qs- it was like there si a prty at teresa’s home and she serves hamburgers and cakes .Some people eat 20 cakes and Some people eat 60.How many people eat hom many bugers n cakes.<br />
conditions<br />
a. both are sufficient<br />
b  both are not<br />
c.<br />
d.</p>
<p>4.Qs on figure ( very simple)</p>
<p>5.again qs on some para was given u had to find the correct conclusion.</p>
<p>6.    YAHOO<br />
+ GOOGLE<br />
12345<br />
Find the value of L.<br />
This was really simple.</p>
<p>7.  input to a machine was given n then outcome was to be found out</p>
<p>8.MUMBAI: fgdfrefh:: Delhi: blank  (not correct figures but pattern was this)</p>
<p>9.in a plane there are 16 pts how many pts can be used to make a triangle</p>
<p>10.qs on ratio n proportion</p>
<p>11.qs on ages</p>
<p>12. algo aws given we had to find the output</p>
<p>13. 14 n 15 i dont remember</p>
<p><strong>GD<br />
</strong><br />
This is really simple round u just need to initiate n keep ur Kool .try to speak at least 3-4 times in 10 min time.My topic was Importance of a brand. I started with the discussion.There was this guy who was trying to show that he cares for everyone n  everyone shud get a chance but he was out from this round.</p>
<p><strong>Last is the interview</strong></p>
<p>This is both Hr as well as Technical .Now here it all matters upon ur luck wat kind of interview panel u get.Well dont panic its really easy n simple just know ur basics of C,C++ well n DBMS,Also some knowledge of project do matter.</p>
<p><strong>Questions</strong></p>
<p>3  diff between C n C++<br />
wat are pointers, n where are they stored<br />
wat is memory allocation.<br />
some qs on my project<br />
why do u want to join satyam</p>
<p>This is it guys.Hope this will help u.<br />
Well I finally cleared. Wat I will suggest u is that dont make guesses in aptitude test just mark the answers u r sure abt n then its really simple to crack Satyam.</p>
<p>ALL THE BEST GUYS

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi to all,</p>
<p>I am very happy to tell you all that finally i made it to satyam.<br />
I had test on 10th march which was quite easy…out of 8400 aproxx<br />
2213 people were Shortlisted for GD<br />
Any one who have common sense can clear those test. People who By Heart<br />
the formulas cant clear such kind of tests<br />
Its the aptitude test guyz!…Aptitude lies in you…not in RS<br />
Aggarwal books…books are just guides to know the concept.<br />
<strong>Dont follow those books BLINDLY</strong>.</p>
<p>On the <strong>next day i had GD which</strong> I cleared quite comfortably….out of<br />
2213 people 662 were shortlisted for final round.<br />
Topic given for us was <strong>Privatization of Public Sectors</strong>.</p>
<p>Then came the final round for which i have to wait for almost 6 Hours<br />
for my turn from 2PM to 8:30PM.</p>
<p>The Tech Guy asked question from the concept which i hate very much(<strong>DBMS</strong>).</p>
<p>But i was able answer all the questions he asked. He also asked more<br />
questions on <strong>DataStructures</strong>. I managed him by not taking him to deeper concepts of<br />
the subjects in my answers. And i suggest you all people to do this. Never try to Over Show yourself. It will lead you in to complete mess. He was not able to ask question in my project because I think he did not know VC++.</p>
<p>Then came turn of <strong>HR</strong>….he too asked few tech question like</p>
<p>–> Can we insert a null value in a foreign key<br />
–> What is an index.<br />
–> If i have Select Query why do we need index.<br />
–> What are DataStructures( Be carefull with its defination)<br />
–> Examples of some datastructures and their logic and also their<br />
real time implementations.<br />
–> What is a TRIGGER.<br />
–> Function Overloading and Function Overriding<br />
–> What is Abstract Key ( I was not able to answer this)<br />
–> <strong>Role in my project</strong>.<br />
–> Few questions on UML(cos i have used in my project)<br />
–> Real time implementation of MultiDimensional Array….and list goes on</p>
<p>and some HR Questions.few more which i cant remember. and i thing<br />
finally around 200 to 250 made it.</p>
<p><strong>Training is for 3 months for which we are paid 10000/- then after that<br />
2 lacs PA</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TCS recruitment conducted on 29th Aug 04    Chennai</p>
<p>Discretion abt written  Selection Process</p>
<p><strong>Written Test</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>Prepare from previous papers</strong>. It’s of the same pattern. Prepare wordlist from Barrons. There was no psychometric test. We had only 1 and a half hr to complete the paper. For quants, we had to write the answers and were not of multiple choices. b .Main problem is the time shortage to complete it fully.<br />
<strong>Interview</strong></p>
<p>There were around 8 - 10 panels for tech intrw held at TCS, Karapakkam, Chennai.Environment was excellent. People from TCS were very soft and had a cheerful<br />
face.</p>
<p>In my panel, two persons of age around 35 – 40 yrs interviewed me.<strong>Tech intrw was held for around 55 min</strong>. Slightly drilling but easy.After clearing tech, I attended HR where one young man interviewed me. It went for half an hour exactly. Most of them were only personal questn and some tech Qs.On my time slot, 5 ppl attended in that same panel and only 2 cud get thro.</p>
<p>For another friend, the tech held for just 10min.<br />
They asked 2 gen. Qs like where he is from (Ambattur) and how he reached that office.Then 2 tech Qs 1) Shannons theory ?<br />
Ans: “I don’t know”2) Diff betn up85 &#038; 86.<br />
He told correctly.He got selected.</p>
<p>So, it depends on ur luck to get a good panel.</p>
<p><strong>Technical Interview</strong></p>
<p>1. <strong>Introduce ur self.</strong></p>

<p>10 puzzles      1 hour</p>
<p><strong>Here’s pattern and some questions which they asked in paper</strong></p>
<p>1)its related to parts of coins,a man has some coins,one third of it belongs to eldest son,one fifth to second and remaining 49 to youngest,u have to find total no.of coins.<br />
Solution:just simply x/3+x/5+49=x and calculate x.</p>
<p>2)a man was 80 yrs in 490 and in 500 he was just 70,so when he born.<br />
Sol:570</p>
<p>3)it was related to stamps,something like 3 rupees given and u have to take home,25 paise,50 paise 20 paise stamps,I don’t remember it ,and also not solved it.sorry.</p>
<p>4)here some series given and find next no.</p>
<p>11      23  21 43 41 73 _<br />
so answer is 71<br />
5)it was related to,analysis,u do it from RS agrawal reasoning book.the pattern is almost same to that.</p>
<p>6)one third of bees went to jasmine flower,one fifth to gulab and 3 times the difference between them still here and one bee went to one other flower.find total no.of bees.<br />
Sol:gven in shakuntala devi,133 question,x/3+x/5+3(x/3-x/5)+1=x;   15 bees</p>
<p>7)its based on mental,7 colours given,3 come in right and 3 in left,I don’t remember it but it was veryeasy,if u have some practice u can do it easily.</p>
<p>8)i don’t remember that.sorry.</p>

<p>10)the minute and hour arms of my clock meet every 65 minutes,does my clock loose or gain time.<br />
Sol:in shakuntala devi,it gains5/11per minute<br />
<strong>Second part was of English.45 qns in 30 minutes<br />
</strong><br />
First one big para on microphones setup,6 qns followed by it,time consuming,I solved it as last,after attempting all other remaining 39 qns. <strong>Attempt as many as u can</strong>,no negatives .i did all 45.and abt 40 were correct.its very portion so just get ur basic grammer,verbs simply.<br />
Results announced 3:00pm<br />
sharp and I was on 11 no.interview tomorrow 15 may,8:30am sharp.</p>
<p>Interview was very nice,two gentle man there,one abt 50 and other near 40.te older one started first-Basic qns abt myself,family,education etc,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>hi friends!</p>
<p><strong>U.S Technology pattern</strong> ( 90 minutes)<br />
<strong>32 - aptitude quest + logical reasoning from barrons<br />
50 - Verbal section</strong> ( synonyms , antonyms, grammar sections)<br />
if u r good at English, then verbal section wil be easier one. Time wont be sufficient so try to finish atleast 25 questions frm aptitude and 45 questions frm verbal section. Bcos separate cutoff is given for each sections…actually I got some of the aptitude questions repeated frm the file, which I hav attached here.</p>
<p>Once u clear the fst round, the <strong>next round is G.D<br />
</strong><br />
They wil select 3 to 4 from a goup. From my group, 5 got selected for the interview.</p>
<p>Then the <strong>next round is H.R+ Tech interview</strong>.</p>
<p>I got only one H.R question - tel me abt urself…tats all ..<br />
Then he asked me to explain abt my project work…I explained it fully…<br />
<strong>Very basic technical questions wil be asked from ur area of interest</strong>.</p>
<p>Few problems were given to me.. I solved everything..<br />
Problems like <strong>series completion , directions</strong>( some directions is given from ur starting point and wher u wil rest finally? like tat)</p>
<p>I am a <strong>Electronics &#038; instrumentation</strong> student so I got few questions from basic electronics questions like transistor coupling, how to convert analog to digital signal. He asked me to explain them with various process like sampling, quantizing….then I got few questions like ..wat is filter circuit? Rectifier? Like tat very basic electronics.</p>
<p>In instrumentation he asked me abt positive feed back in control system and wats the advantage of negative feedback.. I got strucked up with this question..finally I managed wit some answers…then I said I forgot answer…then questioned me in C language…just only the difference b/w C and C++ …and he asked me abt the oops concept…<br />
My only advise to job seekers is”Don’t lose confidence” don’t give up…Be bold while facing interview…everyone wil get job bcos the opening r really very gud now… I hav used nearly 100 hard copies of my resume and sent more than 500 soft copies..</p>
<p><strong>Prepare well with hardwork and try all kind of jobs..dont bother abt the salary…experience makes a man wise</strong>…God’s grace with hardwork wil surely place u somewhere…so keep trying…Our own Attitude is very important for job search. All the very best for all the job seekers.</p>
<p>regards<br />
suganya<br />
If you can’t get through the mountain, go around it. If you can’t go around it, go over it. If you can’t go over it, sit down and ask yourself if getting to the other side is all that important. If it is, set about digging a tunnel

<p>2)<strong>Written Test</strong> which includes few English passages,grammar,analytical and logical questions which can be done .</p>
<p>3)<strong>Interview</strong>:</p>
<p>They called me to come to their main office the interview was scheduled at 11 but my turn came at 12:30 pm.</p>
<p>The interviewer(I) was very cool,he took me(M) inside his cabin,it was in this way:</p>
<p>I: How r u feeling Mr.Amarender.</p>
<p>M: fine sir.</p>

<p>I:write a prgrm to find factorial of a number</p>
<p>M: done</p>
<p>I: write using recursion</p>
<p>M: tried,almost correct ,he helped me.</p>
<p>I:xplain me how it will be executed .</p>
<p>M: xplained step wise.</p>
<p>I: asked to write algorithm of Quick sort and xplain abt bubble sort.</p>
<p>M: xplained ,was confused a little bit, he helped me.</p>
<p><strong>Then he asked few q’s from c++,java, OS,RDBMS</strong>.</p>
<p>Asked to <strong>write few queries which were a bit typical but done successfully</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>The interview was all around 45 mins</strong>.</p>
<p>At last gave me shake hand, I just went outside and again returned back and asked him “Sir! Shall I leave!”.</p>
<p>He said,give me 10 mins.</p>
<p>I waited for ½  hr.</p>
<p>Later a lady called me and took for a <strong>HR ROUND</strong>.</p>
<p>She took me into her cabin and left said that she will b back in few mins,came after few mins.</p>
<p>HR:Introduced  herself and askedme to xplain bat myself in detail.</p>
<p>Me: xplained.</p>
<p>HR: what were u doing from this one year.</p>

<p>Me: I was a bit tensed.</p>
<p>HR: <strong>what do u know about GENPACT</strong>.</p>
<p>Me: xplained.</p>
<p>HR: that’s it amar,any q’s from ur side.</p>
<p>Me: I asked few q’s like job desc etc.</p>
<p>HR: she xplained everything.</p>

Went outside again knocked the door and asked mam whn can I expect the feed back.<br />
She said ,”give us 2 days”.</p>
<p>I left, and one fine afternoon I received mail from them offering for a position in their organization.</p>
<p>I was really thrilled, not getting words to describe the moment.</p>
<p><strong>At last I made it</strong>!</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone who supported me thru out my career.</p>
<p>All The Best!!</p>
