AMDOCS PATTERN - 2010
Hi Chetanaites
http://www.ChetanaS.org
Aptitude :
Aptitude is very easy no need to worry
See questions based on analytical reasoning as:

Ex1:

Statements
1 All books are chairs
2 All chairs are red

Conclusions
I All books are red
Ii Some red (objects) are books

Ex2:
Study The following information to answer the given questions. The following are the
criteria for registration in training workshop. The participant must
i be more than 30 years of age
ii be a graduate with 60% marks
iii have atleast four years of experience of working in industry
iv be sponsored by his employer for workshop
v have sent paper for presentation in the workshop

However, if he fulfills all these criteria except

(A) iii above, he or she………..
(B) …………..
(C) ……………….

In these type of questions there is no guessing you have to answer based on the
data they have provided.

They have given 2 questions based on this model i.e 10 marks (approximately)

Questions based on pattern matching.

These are questions you have to answer by observing the options as:

Ex: ee@@@ee
1. ee@@@ee 2 ee@@@ee 3 ee@@eee
They have given approximately five questions based on this model.

Some problems based on blood relations(very Simple)

Some questions are like
Ex: if + is -, - is *, * is /, / is + then value of 3+4-3*5/2 is?
http://www.ChetanaS.org
Technical :
This is very important.
U have to concentrate on technical questions only

C
See about Command line arguments, Pointers, Files<===( Mainly)
Some other topics like declarations are given
I cannot remember the questions (sorry)
Some syntaxes are given and asked to find the correct choice, which is correct
syntaxically or logically

SQL
Questions based on joins, subQueries,
Some example like :
To select employees in the organization who r getting salary same as mgr,
they have given four queries.U have to select the correct choice from the given
options.
Asked about Non-clustered subquery
U concentration must be on joins, subqueries, views, indexes, cursors etc…

UNIX
Very simple
They have given basic commands only.
See about ‘grep’ command
Piping in UNIX is also important.
It is better to prepare basic commands in UNIX.

AMDOCS PAPER & INTERVIEW - 15 JUL 2008 - MUMBAI
Hi Chetanaites

110 students sat for the aptitude test out of which 20 where sortlisted and
finally 10 were selected. I was one of them after getting rejected in Infosys and
Accenture.

The recruitment process consists of the following rounds:

1) Aptitude test (General + Technical)
2) Technical Interview
3) HR Interview

APTITUDE TEST

The duration of the test is approximately 110 min. It was an online test. There were
a total of 95 questions to attempt.

There is 60% sectional cut-off for both sections.that is what i heard but i dont think
that they follow it strictly as i wont hv got 60%.it depends on the performance of ur
batch.
every right ans has +1mark and wrong ans has -0.25 marks. so be careful if u dont
know leave the question.

test paper has many sets.

The aptitude test comprises mainly of two sections:

1) General Aptitude Test-contains 3 subsection
2) Technical Test-contains 3 subsection

General Aptitude test

The general aptitude test consisted of the following sub-sections:
1) Quantitative Ability 20 ques(25 min)
-toughest part of the test as time is very less.questions were not so easy.i was able
to do only 11 ques.trick(when u press submit time stops and ask for confirmation if u
press cancel u will be brought back to question page)try this at ur own risk as they
might rectify this fault.
3 ques on set theory(venn diagram) not so easy prepare set theory thourougly from
R.S Agarwal.
2 ques on clock-damn easy took 1 min to get the ans.
next 5 ques was very easy.-no prep required
5 ques were like $ represents 1 and 0 represents * then 4 is represented as
$**.some common airthmetic were given u hv to calculate result and just have to
convert the no in binary.time consuming.
i forgot other ques but they where not so easy u hv to prepare R.S Aggarwal
thouroughly.

2) Comprehension (15 min)

-damn easy.my passage was on connecting computer. I even dont hv to read the
passage as i know 8 ans out of 10.it took me 7 min in total to find remaining 2 ans
and crosscheck my ans with the passage.

3) 15 easy questions (15 min) on substitution ques like + is *,* is -etc, pattern
matching, reasoning. it will take no more than 12 min.

Technical Test
The technical test includes three sub-sections:
- SQL (15 min)
- UNIX (15 min)
- Language (15 min) (Here you can choose between C, C++ or Java)
I chose C for the language test.

1) C
ques were very easy if u know even a little bit of c u will be able to do 15-16 ques.
20ques(25 min)-ample time.
a)int a=10;
b=a++ + ++a;
print(b);
ans-22
b)what is the function used to read n write a specified no of line from file?

2) SQL (15 ques,15 min)

-very tough only one who is very comfortable with SQL can answer.
ex-what is truncate?some tables were given output is given u have to select a query
that generates that o/p.
two three ques i even didnt understand
u hv to go through IVAN BAYROSS to clear this sec

3) Unix (15 min)

he UNIX section comprised of 15 questions mostly on unix commands.
Some of the questions were as follows:

1) Which command would you use to change the priority of a running process?
a) nice b) ps c) top d) ls
Ans: a) nice

2) Which command is used to display the output of a command as well as store it in

a file ?
a) cat b) grep c) tee d) top
Ans: c) tee

3)which command is used to go to end of line in vi editor?

a)a b)A c)e d)E
ans-b

4)what is the extension of main memory in hard disk is called?

ans-swap space
like this easy ques where there on unix.if u r bit familiar with unix u can clear it but u
hv to remember commands with their options.
i use to work on linux so i cleared this section with ease.

2) Technical Interview
My technical interview is of about 60 minutes. it seems to be long but when u r
inside u never feel it and u just hv to ans patiently as ques are very easy n bit tricky.
A good knowledge of SQL and C is a must. U must know at least the basics command
of unix otherwise u will be rejected.they will just ask u to write 10 commands of unix
and they will ask ques on those 10 commands only.

Well my first question was are u very tired?

Then hobbies
Ur fav subject-i told OS n C.
Then they asked me abt semaphore,write code for it, explain give a practical ex
where u will implement semaphore?done with this easily
Then they asked deadlock-i answered
Relation between semaphore n deadlock. i was not able to ans properly.they were
not satisfied with my ans this time.
ask me abt projects if i hv done any.i said i hv made a small site on asp.then they
asked its functionality, ADO databse connection etc of which i answered half of
questions properly.

an int datatype of 1 byte.

int x=0;
for(x=0;x<256;x++)
print(x)
what is o/p.
I answered wrong. o/p will be an infinite loop, he helped me to ans this. its given in
kanetkar find out how.

Then they got into sql (my weak part and they recognise it). asked ordering of
groupby, having, orderby in a query ? how they are executed in memory and then i
was not able to ans any ques on this.
Then they asked views, how they are updated n bla bla. I was lucky as i know views
properly i answered max question this time.

then they come to unix. they asked me ever hv u used a platform similar to unix. as
i work on fedora 8 it was my strong part.
asked me to write 10 commands. easily done. http://www.ChetanaS.org
Asked some questions on groff, troff, ifconfig, ps, jobs, kill, killall commands. I
answered all of them easily, they were little impressed for the first time. satisfied
with my unix knowledge again move to C.
this time very simple ques. what is pointer, hw u allocate memory to them etc.
then they asked me are u doing any project for be?.
I said yes told them abt my project as i hv already decided the project, it is related
to networking.
They asked me abt router,bridge,http packet, how packet got transfers frm one pc to
another?
I answered all this very efficiently as i hv some idea abt networking.
Finally they said do u have any ques to ask? i asked what should i do to improve
myself technically?
They said go through as many courses as u can n improve ur database knowledge
specially queries, rest is fine.

3) HR interview
Dont take it as time pass as it is equally important.be prepared with general hr
questions.then only u can get through it.
ques were very general like why amdocs, tell me abt urself, weakness, strength,
family background,relocation etc.
it was for around 20 min

It seems to be very long and drilling process but if u are confident and keep urself
fresh its easy to clear all round.

AMDOCS PATTERN & INTERVIEW - 02 NOV 2008 - PATIALA
Hi Chetanaites
http://www.ChetanaS.org
I am Anish Batra.. I have done MCA from Thapar University, Patiala.. I
wanna share my experience about Amdocs selection procedure. There were 150
students in the test and only 14 cleared the test and out of them 10 were selected n
thanks to God my name was there in the list.

Friends there was an online test of Amdocs for 2 hours conducted by merittrac
consists of various sections..

There were mainly two sections..

1. Aptitude
2. Technical.
There were various subsections..

In Aptitude..
1. Quant..
2. Attention to detail (like pattern matching)..
3. Comprehension (based on computers).
http://www.ChetanaS.org
Now in Technical..
1. C / C++ / Java (you have to choose one)..
2. SQL
3. UNIX.

Friends this test was a mixture of all kind of questions.. tough n medium n easy..
you have to concentrate very much to clear the test because test is main hurdle..
there was no subsection cutoff and no negative marking but overall sectional cutoff
was there. So you need to concentrate on both sections equally.. To clear the Unix
just go through the book of Samitha das.. It’s a very good book for Unix...n for SQL
that ivan bayross is sufficient..n for C just practice the outputs n basic concepts of
C... n for aptitude r.s aggarwal....
Now Interviews..
1. Technical Interview
The panel was very cool.. actually one thing I want to tell u that just leave interviews
in the hands of God bcoz its not known what they will ask in interview.. u just read
your comfortable subjects and rest leave on god..
http://www.ChetanaS.org
2. HR Interview
Mine was only for 10 minutes.. they just ask simple questions.. nothing to worry
about that but you should know about Amdocs very well... just visit the site of
Amdocs n note down every point n also in ppt.. But be sure that if u have a dream to
be placed in Amdocs then prepare for it very consistently because to clear it u need
good preparation.
