NIIT Tech Ltd placement paper by abhishek thakur

Got through with NIIT TECH and feeling great!

Helo mates i wud like to tell u bout my placement with NIIT TECH and few
tips to make ur effort better.

There were two written exams each of 30 mins without ne time gap ( and
there was no negative marking so do attempt all the questions in sitting for
NIIT tech):

1.The first one was only of figurs:

8 figures wer given & 9th had to selected from 8 given options.It was a test
and 36 ques to be done in 30 mins.Some were really very tough but most of
them wer easy.Time is a big boundation, so remember to take a watch, which
i dint had.after 30 mins they took the question paper back and gave the next
paper.

2.This was an aptitude test which had 30 questions to be done in 30 mins.It

had 5 section and i think there was a sectional cutoff too. this paper had
normal questions of aptitude and quant.u shud hav all the formulae and
shortcuts on the tips to clear this one and dont waste time at all.juz try to
attempt all the questions. there wer 4 options for each question.questions
wer from following as far as i remember...

a)Time and distance

b)Work and wages
c)Profit and loss
d)Ration and prportion
e)Some questions on equations
f)Some data sufficiency problems

I cant remember rest of the questions

After the test the we were given a presentaion bout NIIT TECH and we wer
allowed to ask some questions if we had bout the company. Then we had to
wait for the results which wer declared after an hour and surprisingly there
wer only 18 candidates wer selected out of 112.
from my college IITMl 2 wer selected.

Then we had to fill in a form and wait for the interview, long wait of 4-5
hours and then came my chance.

My interview was taken by the same guy who gave presentation.

I was a lill nervous intially but i tried to be calm and content:

The interview :
First i was asked to tell some thing bout myself so i gave my intro and as i
had my project work with me so i ended it with telling bout it.He took the
project file and seemed to be lill impressed with the projct i had as it was
bout robotics. delete

@ |3 |-| |.... continued......

By this time i got confident and words started to flow easily as i relaxed a lill.
He then asked me bout DBMS:

1)Wat is DBMS and its need?

2)Wat is an INDEX?
3)Wat is normalization?
4)Wat is denormalization?
5)Wat is a deadlock in DBMS?
6)Why it occurs and how we resolve it?
some more questions i answered all of them except one that was a very
typical one havnt heared bout it ever so i said i had no idea.

He then asked me if i know networks, i replied yes and he asked some simple
questions:

1)Wat is a network?
2)Wat is TCP/IP?
3)Layers in OSI?
Although he asked simple question but remeber to give answers in details as
they wont ask u to tell more bout the topic and juz check how much you
know bout the topic so add in some good details until any additional
information u know.
They wont show ne reactions to ur answers but continuously mark ur
answers and replies. So remember to reply with details.

Then he asked me some quesiotns from Operating systems:

1)Wat O.S i had worked in?

2)Wat is the diffrence b/w LINUX and UNIX?
2)Differecne b/w UNIX and WINDOWS?
3)Wat is MUT EX?
4)Wat is dead lock and wen it occurs?

Some more questions on OS

Then he gave me a c++ program to add greatest 2 numbers from an array, i
did it in a flash and asked him if he wanted me to optimise the code.He said
it was fine.

Then he started asking some H.R questions:

1)Bout Family.
2)My aspirations.
3)Interests.
4)Extra curricular activities.
5)Personal Objective.
6)Hobbies and all

Then he wished me luck and the interview was over.We had to wait for
another hour for the results.
Then came the moment and the results were announced and surprisingly
only 8 wer selected outa 18

We wer told that 80% was the cutoff for the written exams so accuracy is
equally important as speed.

I wud like to wish all of u "BEST OF LUCK !"

To all the MCA and B.tech people :
JUST KEEP WORKIN THERE ARE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES AND U'LL
DEFINITELY GET UR CHANCE!!!
Take care people
