Virtusa Placement Paper
VIRTUSA PAPER ON 2nd
DECEMBER 2006 AT
HYDERABAD
Hi frnds,
I am Muni Sekhar from
Sullurpet(Nellore Dt,AP).
I am working in virtusa
from 18th Dec 06. I
would like to share my
selection process
experience at virtusa
with u.
I received hall ticket
through e-mail from
virtusa on 1st Dec
afternoon and asked me
to attend for the
written test on the next
day. I came immediately
to Hyd from my home town
and i directly went to
westly school (near
paradise,hyd) from
secunderabad rly stn.
Then i came to know that
Merit Trac people are
conducting this exam.
And 2000+ members
attended the exam (only
B.Tech CSE, B.Tech CSIT,
MCA) The merit trac
people will check the
10th,Intermediate,UG/PG
certificates and then
allow to the examination
hall
The paper is about 2 and
a half hour. It is for
120 marks. It has 5
sections in written exam
itself.
It will have Verbal
Ability, Apptitude,
Mental & logical
thinking Ability,
Technical Qns (C,Unix),
Reading(Grasping)
Ability. and the cutoff
for the examnination is
65 marks i think.
In verbal ability:::::::
They will give synonyms,
antonyms, words(
articles), correct the
sentense's & paragraph's
etc.
In Apptitude::::::::::::
They will give easy qns.
It will be easy if we
are thorough with
RSAgarwal
In Mental
Ability::::::::They will
try to confuse us, but
if we r cool minded, we
can do well
In Technical
Ability::::: Unnecessary
code will be given to
waste time, do small
things first and go for
huge codes and it will
be easy as C,Unix will
be in this round. But
this round has more
weightage/marks. So
concentrate on this
round.
In Reading ability:::::
we will be given a 3
page material and 10
minutes time to read
that.The time they will
give for this round will
not be sufficient, even
though we have to do
that. Then afterwards,
they will take the
material and give us 10
qns on that material, we
have to ans those qns by
rememberence.
Then after the exam,
they told us that the
results will be
announced on monday(4th
Dec) for the people who
are selected and for the
people who are not
selected also. But i
didnt receive any mail
from them on monday,
tuesday. Then on tuesday
night i planned to go
back to my native place
within 2 days. On
wednesday morning i
received a mail asking
to attend the further
selection process of
virtusa. Please remember
your roll number for the
test.
I attended Group
Discussion (Topic:::
Should we ban mobile
phones in
school,colleges) and did
well. I started the
discussion, did well
(used all the GD
tips,managerial skills
etc)and ended it. Then I
attended the Technical
round. It is two
panel(male and female),
male is Sr S/w Engg(SSE)
and female is QA(Testing)
lead(QAL).
The first qns to me was
"Tell me about yourself"
(Routine qns any where)
I answered it. Then the
SSE asked me to write a
prog. I did it Then QAL
asked me to explain few
logics, i explained one
logic in routine way and
the second logic in a
different way. Then they
asked me to explain the
logic elaboratedly. I
explained it very well.
then they got good
imppression on me( i
think).
Then they asked me few
qns on C, oops concets
etc and then the QAL
asked me abt white
box,black box testing
etc related to testing.
i said that i dont know
any thing abt testing.
She asked me like
this.....
QAL:: If there are
opening only in QA and
if u were asked to join,
Will u join QA?
Me:: I said yes (because
i want a job, either
development/QA)
QAL:: u dont know any
thing abt testing and u
are very well performing
in languages etc, then
will u be able to learn
the things so quickly in
the training progs and
can u deleiver us the
expected results??
ME:: yes, surely. As i
said u, one among my
strenghts are "fast
learning ability". i can
learn well in training
and will do well further
also.
QAL:: ok fine, after one
and a half year, if u
are given flexibility to
move towards
development, will u move
or be in QA itself
Me: If that flexibility
is given, i will move to
development
QAL:: In this 1 and a
half year u will be
doing well in QA and u
may be lagging in
developmenta na? then
how will u be able 2 do
well in development?
Me:: (I said a small ex,
like this... i showed
the door beside me and
said like this..) Theif
will unlock the door
without exact key. and
if that thief is given a
chance to prepare the
lock and key, he will do
it perfectly in such a
way that, no other theif
can unlock it. Just like
that if a tester comes
to development and
writes a code, the code
will be in such a way
that no other tester can
find any bugs in it. So
that way i can be a good
developer, even though i
ma with 1.5 yrs
expereienced in testing
and away from
development.
QAL,SSE::: ok thats
really great ans.
QAL:: Do u have any qns
to us?
Me:: i asked a small qns
regarding hyd virtusa
center (bcoz, we have
ask qns, when we are
given a chance.That will
say that we are eager to
know things when we got
a chance)
QAL:: replied.
Then after an hour they
asked me to fill some
buch of papers
Then i attended HR
interview. It is one
panel only
1st qns: HR(He is PM
itseams):: Tell me abt
yourself
Me:: (i said)
HR:: (he noted down the
extracurricular,
achievements, my web
sites URL etc etc in the
bunch of papers,
according to the columns
in it, by moving on to
page to page)
2nd qns: HR::What is
your career objective?
Me:: (I said)
3rd qns: HR:: Do u have
any qns to me?
Me:: Sir, how is my
performance till now?
HR:: Well.......U've got
selected man. (offered
shake hand)
Me:: Thank you sir
(Shake hand)
Then the Associate HR
Exceutive came to me and
asked me to collect my
offer letter on 15th and
on 15th i was asked to
join on 18th.
totally out of 2000+
candidates, 100 to 110
are selected in written
exam, out of them 63 are
finally selected and we
are now in training.
From 18th Dec to 18th
Jan we 63 are trained on
c++,unix,dbms,SE
(induction classes,
entertainment classes in
between, lot of fun,
games etc etc)and on jan
18th we 63 are divided
into Java, .Net,QA
streams. now the
training will be upto
march ending ( I think).
So to say abt virtusa...
It is great to be here.
we have good work
culture, good package,
good take homes,
quarterly paries etc
etc, we celebrate our
colleuges B'days etc and
have fun all the time.
With Cheers......
Muni Sekhar. |
