You people start the paper from 26-40 you can complete it in 10-15min In 1-25 questions max
10 questions can be easy and find the easy questions and attempt it first and then you may
have 4-5 minutes left see the questions and make a guess on it you can easily score 30
marks...
questions may be

1.3*3 Sudoku (5 questions damn easy)

2.if A(0,y)=y+1
A(x,0)=x
A (x,y)=A(0,A(0,y))
A(0,0)=1
they find A(0,3), A(1,2) you will have 5 questions which can attended damn easy

3.One geometry question

they will one diagram and distance covered from A to B like that questions will be given and
find the distance like questions

2
you will get 2 questions some what tuff to find

4. total 75 students will be der, 25 know typing and 45 know short hand and 10 know neither
typing and shorthand. find how many know both typing and shorthand

5. synonym-1,

6. 4 options will be given and will be ask to arrange the sentence.

7. one fill up with suitable word

8. 1 question from probability and 1 question from permutation

there will be two Childs for a mother. select randomly and find probability that both are
girls....not sure...some what change will be der In permutation
they will be 11 men and 3 women.. a committee of should be formed such that there will be 2
men and 2 women....

9. 1.6(10pow9) divide by 4.8(10pow3)

Ans:30(10pow5)

These are the questions in remember first 8 questions may be some what tough but can be
answered start from the last you can easily answered the questions coming to Technical
written As you already come to know that previous questions will be given....it is
truth...definitely you will be given the same questions without changing the question number
and options Refer the previous questions posted in the Fresher world and check the answer
once searching in the goggle. you can attempt more than 65 questions. there ends the exam
they will announce the short listed candidates for the next round with in half or one hour
Nearly 500 students attended among them 288 cleared the aptitude among 288 members
190 cleared the technical written These numbers will rise your anxiety that how many people
had selected finally let me explain it and the next day we prepared well and went to the VIT
campus and the panel members came and announced the batches per batch 10 members will
be der mine was 5th batch for each batch, they will give you a topic and should be talked for 1
min just like Jam session The HR people will be cool There will be two persons one men and
one women while the jam starts one will listen to your words and the other will correct your
essay we are all in the seminar hall and the panel people came and announced the names of
9 we thought that they are promoted to the next round we all shock that she told them that
you can leave for day every body stranded and can't understand what is going on finally we
came to know that they need only few people in the replacements talk they had given a
number that, they will recruit in the 1:30 ratio that mean for 30 people only one will be
selected all the people attended the jam section they disqualified entire batches...and they
selected few members. Here ends my journey I also disqualified from my college 2 members
are short listed for the Technical Interview.I am happy to tell that, he is my batch mate in the
project. I came to know that from him....they will check our confidence level.asked him to write
the program for prime number while he is writing he asked him to come...just they will test our
confidence. then he said you are promoted to the next round take the break and come again
and for the interview. If you complete the communication round( JAM) 75% you are selected...

Mainly you should be aware of the project if any done.

HR round will be the cake walk, just it is for the formality.

Now total number of students attend is 500(approx)

• Aptitude-288

adress like i told thn he asked meaning of each word-http,www,com etc
3) wht is URL
4) tel complete procedure how a site open after opening explorer
5) other layers understand DNS or not if not thn wht will happen (concept of mapping to
ip adress comes here) thy asked how mapping takes place and at wich layer
6) dns procedure use wht tcp/ip or osi

6
7) how many layers in tcp/ip and wich layers are extra in osi model
8) tcp/ip conection oriented or conectionless
9) wht is DNs he was trying to ask in detail but as i havnot read so i said tht
10) wht is arp
11) wht is rarp
12) wht is ATM(asynchronous mode transfer)

DBMS
1) wht is primary key
2) if ther is no primary key how will u uniquely identify each tuple (i said composite key
or super key)
3) diff between tuple and attribute
4) wht r anomalies explain each in detail (like insertion anomaly deletion and
modification anomaly)
5) wht is foreign key constraint
6) if i want to delete a tuple from a table having reference in so other table thn wht will
happen (concept of cascade comes else error)
7) wht r triggers explain
8) if i want to hav som tuples havind null value wht to do (outer join)

call context switch etc and queue in scheduling so he asked do we hav only fifo
scheduling)
10) so types of scheduling
Data Structure
1) u hav fifteen boxes in kitchen and ur mom asked u to make foos for 1 month, wht will
u do to make food fast (thn concept of sorting came) i said i will put name tag on boxes

2. GROUP DISCUSSION

CSC is mainly looking in your communication and how well you are confident at. These guys
are giving chance to everyone in putting their own points. i.e., they are conducting it in orderly
fashion. She gave us: Should sex education be included in academic of school children. I was
the first to start the GD, so, I went with the topic and No time was given to prepare. Results
were immediately announced. In my batch, only one got eliminated. So guys, be confident
while putting your points.

3. TECHNICAL HR
Initially the HR was started with my project, I explained my project entirely. And he raised few
questions from that. I answered for all those. So, you must have thorough knowledge of your
project you had done.

Besides, he raised questions like difference between array and Linked list then Stack, Queue
from Data Structures, DBMS, and Operator Overloading, paging concept from Operating
System, few concepts from Mobile Computing and some more. It took some 25-30 minutes for
me.
Depending on the panel, you will get questions. You brush up all the concepts from Data
Structure, DBMS, Operating System and Programming Languages.
If you are belonging to ECE, concentrate much on Microprocessor. (This info was given by my
friend).
You just give your answers if you are sure, otherwise, you say, sorry mam/sir, at present, I
could not recollect. Do not try to give related or fake answers.

4. PERSONAL INTERVIEW
Once you get into this round, you can stay relaxed. He asked me the general questions like,

Tell me about yourself:

I said my name, college, and aggregate, achievements (Paper presentation, Organized
Women’s day, Basket ball). He was really impressed and asked me how did u celebrate
women’s day? Then I explained that too.

Why should I hire you?

I said, I think I do have all the qualities to perform a job in a better way.
He asked what the qualities are.
Then I replied with sincerity, dedication, and commitment towards the work.

What do you know about CSC?

I was busy preparing for technical and I could not go through the website, but, before that
interview my friend said few points about it.
While I saying so, he asked me how do you get this information? (I don’t know whether my

30
friend said the same thing before.)
But, I do not like to lie, so I said him, I gathered from my friends.
Once you get info about recruiting process, you please go through that company website.

Then he asked whether you are comfort when you are relocated to different locations and
night shifts, I confidently said, Yes sir.

At last he asked me to wait till 4 p.m by the next day.

My interview started on 17th June nearly at 9.30 a.m and I had completed my HR at 9.30 p.m. I
was waiting the whole day on 18th June for results and my name was announced at 9.30 p.m.
It was the most wonderful experience.

Guys be honest, confident and success will be yours. GOOD LUCK…!!!!!!!!! SEE YOU AT
CSC…!!!!!!!
