SYNTEL PAPER ON 16th
JUNE
Hello friends.. I got
placed in SYNTEL.. its a
good company.. until
later I realised it
later.Hope my review
would help u
irrespective of u get
selected or not. I
reached the test centre
at 0910 hrs.. while the
reporting time was
suposed to be 0800 hrs.
Well everyone were late
engh.. tht didn't matter
though. The written test
started at 1130 hrs.
Duration : 1 hour.
The written test had 2
sections : Logical &
Verbal
The Logical section had
25 questions and cut -
off 15.
The Verbal section had
15 questions and cut-off
8 .
But I strongly believe
that the cut-off marks
were varied a little up
& down.. though not by a
big margin. The logical
sections include
symbols, coding, blood
relations, series and 2
DI questions.
The verbal section
consisted of correction
of sentences,
substitution of correct
words, and passages.
Rating of the exam will
be characteristic frm
person 2 person.. so I
wouldn't comment on
that.
Results were announced,
a brief inroduction abt
the company was given.
The next round was a
Technical cum HR round
conducted in 2 stages.
First I was called for
the HR round. It was a
lady. She was a little
serious with me unlike
was friendly with others
as thy said.
She : Tell me abt urself
.
me : blah blah.
She : took out a form ,
asked my full name and
mobile No.
me : given.
She : wat did u like in
the presation of the
company given.
me : I liked ur
explanation, my scope in
the company and the
company's interest in
the employee.
she : where do u want 2
c urself years frm now.
me : I'd c myself in a
good position, around
respectable ppl in the
society.
she : don't u have any
aims/ goals. get
specific..
me : well ma'am am good
at VHDL, VLSI, MPI and
very good in C. Tht
explains tht I like my
field. I am lookin 2
shift to software
through Embeded systems
which would serve both
my learning so far & the
sotware boom now in the
market. ( folks am frm
ECE engineering stream )
she ( seemed not at all
interested gave a more
rather grin face ) : wat
is the architecture of
8085 ?
me : asked for a paper,
she gave.. I thought for
abt 30 sec.. and finally
answered I DON'T KNW.
she (gave an akward
smile engh 2 irritate me
but gotta 2 get my cool
back ) : wat r the
address and data lines
of 8085 ?
me : told.
she ( seemed
dissatisfied ) asked the
same for 8086 ?
me : told.
she : architecture of
8086 ?
me : drawn.
she : draw the pin
diagram of 8086.
me : drew.
( FOLKS IF U NOTICE I
SEEM 2 HAVE BOOTED ABT
MY ACADEMIC KNOWLEDGE IN
THE PREV QUESTION.. SO
SHE WAS AT IT.. NOT ALL
WILL B ASKED THE SAME
DON'T WORRY )
she : What r ur hobbies
?
me : Told .
she : Asked me specific
documents one by one.
me : I handed over them
exactly in the same
order one by one as soon
as she asked for. she
got imressed.
I was told 2 wait
outside. the technical
round started in abt 10
min. I wnt in & shooke
hand he was startled.
asked me wat was I good
at.
I answered C & DS.
he asked me in deep abt
DS & jus the basics of
C.
asked me abt header
files.. I explained him
all abt it in detail he
got impressed. and gave
some problem which had a
user defined header
file.
I answered & he got
confused.
I explained frm strach
line by line.
he asked me 2 chnage the
value of a variable
without using assignment
operator.
I took a little time &
took an array & mixed
pointers.. and changed
the base address of the
array.
he was damn damn
impressed, while during
all this process I used
the assignment operator
four times.
More than the answer thy
look at ur approach.
he asked me abt printf
function unions &
structures, stacks..
tht's it folks.. any
further queries or want
some confidence ..
