SYNTEL PAPER ON 16th
MARCH AT JAIPUR
Hello friends im Devan
got placed recently ,
syntel visited here on
16th n 17th march for
central recruitment for
2008 batch , the apti
was on 16th while
interviews were
scheduled on 17th , the
next day !!
there were follwing
phases(this is the
latest pattern , as
mentioned by others too
, in previous papers)
1> reasoning ( 25
questions , cut of was
mentioned on the answer
sheet , 13 )
2> verbal ( 15 questions
, cut off was 8 )
3> technical + hr
interview
total time - 1 hour
1> the reasoning
it consisted of 25
questions , pretty easy
ones mixed with
moderately tuff
questions , so i'd rate
this section as
moderate... i can
mention some of the
questions that i
remember , like choose
the odd word out ...then
there was one question
like...if sachin is
wearing sourav's t
shirt...sehwag is
wearing yuvraj's...sourav
comes to bat ahead of
rahul..etc..whose t
shirt would sourav be
wearing..was easy one..
then there was one blood
relationship question
... another one was a
series like
AB*!1D+E*2%G3I*K(this is
not the exact question)
5 questions were based
on this series like - if
order of series is
reversed , find the 11th
element to the left of
7th element from right ,
find 7th ele from left
of 11th from right...
if later half of series
is reversed , what
would be the 7th ele.
from right of 11th..
how many symbols are
immediately followed by
odd no. etc. (simple
questions)
2>verbal
this was a good
section..a passage with
5 questions..
5 questions on - some
sentences were given and
find the error in one of
the word/words
underlined like
one day / mary and jane
/ has gone to the /
village to fetch / some
water
a b
c
d e
( just an example , not
actual question ,
sentences were tuffer
than this one) etc
3 > tech + hr
interview
be confident thru
out while ure speaking
in front of them...even
if ure not technically
strong... the
interviewers - gentleman
n a lady , luked quite
young , not more than
28/29 i guess...
the gentleman asked tech
questions and the lady
asked hr
the man aksed me where i
belonged to and
questions followed like
>what r pointers
>different data
structures in c
>then he asked me my
subjects in 6th sem ,
computer networks was
one of them so he asked
me - use of data link
layer
> osi model layers
in the beginning i told
them i wasnt gud with
tech(prog part) and was
more interested in
gaming , multimedia n
web aspects..so >they
asked what if we put u
on coding department in
the company....i said i
will learn...work hard
for it..wll do it..
be confident while
answering
others were asked to
write programs as i
heard - pallindrome ,
armstrong number ...
>overloading n
overriding
>sorting n searching
algos(for sure)
he was done...and then
lady asked me hr
questions like
> my aim in life
> my strengths , i said
self confidence ,
leadership qualities ...
hence she asked what
would a good leader be
like ??..and a couple of
questions on team n
members(confusing ones ,
just answer what u think
, dnt pretend ure
answering a mugged up
answer , they'd catch u
easily)
>can i work in chennai
... i said i am ready to
work from kashmir to
kanyakumari....they
smiled..
the interview lasted for
20 mins approx
