SYNTEL PAPER ON 23rd JUNE AT LUCKNOW
My experience of first job
Hi thr am ragini gupta from U.IET kanpur.
There were around 700-800 students from different colleges which they had invited for opencampus in SRMCEM lucknow . We had to report at 8.30 am but the written startred at 12.30 am .
first round of written consist of
1. 25 logical reasoning
2. 15 verbal reasoning
and the duration was 60 minutes .
Logical reasoning contains
1-5 on blood realtion
6-10 analytical reasoning
11-13 on coding(quite tough)
20-25 on which type of statement (assertive,supportive, counter part, etc)
Verbal contained
1-5 find inferences
6-10 synonym ,antonym (just based on some relation)
11-15 correction of sentences
As they dint mentioned cutoff, so try to attempt a solid attempt of 15 in logical and 7 in verbal . I think in my case the cutoff was 13 and 6.
After tht result was declared after 4 hour at 5.15 pm .my name was there , then they told me for interview just after 5-10 minutes .i was the first candidate .interview was fully technical and took 20 minutes .
Then interview goes like this
Q1.., what do u know about syntel?
A1.. (as I really dint knew) I said confidently and in a straight way tht I really dont know about syntel
He was amazed and said tht you are appearing for interview and u dont know abt company . And then I told him about my busy schedule(as I was doing summer training in iit kanpur ) .
then he moved through my form(which they gave us after declaration of result) and cv and as I mentioned c, paper presentation, summertraining project etc
Q2 tell me abt ur self.
A2 blab la ( explore ur self and tell them about ur positive points and achievement)
Q3 he said me to write a simple c program of swap two number without using third variable
A3 this was an easy one
Q4 then questions on c .he asked me datatypes , libraries, uses of libraries etc..
Q5 (as I mentioned paper presentation in my form and cv) he asked me to explain my paper .( be sure for whtever u write in ur resume)
Q6 then he moved to my summertraining project and said me to tell him abt project and wht technologies I have used.
Q7 as I was working on shell programming by listening this (he was impressed)
And thrown some question on shell programming
Like , how many types of shell are thr, And command in shell programming ?
Q8.now he moved to datastructure
And asked about linked list
And bubble sort
Q9. Then he asked me to explain software life cycle
Q10 finally he said me to ask any question to him( at last I got chance to ask a question to him )
In this question I asked hoe to inhace my expressing power( as I was quite confident but was lacking while explaining in a proper way)
So afterall I will say tht work on ur communication skill( he said me directly tht they are looking for gudcommunication skill) but donn impose this weakness on ur self if u r confident for whtever u studied in ur btech courses no one can ignore u .and yes keep smiling and work on whtever u mention in ur cv ( write only wht u have really did and in which u r confident) afterall be truthfull and confident .
All the best
