AMDOCS Placement Paper Pattern
here is the model of the test paper of amdocs. it may not give a clear picture but it helps. There was just an aptitude cum language test and an interview. Believe no-great-shakes at all. Well, the test was not written, but online….with 5 tests each timed, here are the type of questions:
The first one was about 36 questions-20 mints:
There were different symbols and various inputs and outputs across the symbols & analyzing the input & output, we have to figure out what each symbol does. There would be a set of 4 questions based on these symbols.
eg.
LMN–> XY–>|
| |
| |
PQRS—>@—————–>$—->PQSRR
| |
| |
|–>LNM |—>XYY
Like in the above figure(crude attempt!), at interchanges the last 2 letters & $ repeats the last letter. Generally it involved 2 more symbols.
There would be 4 questions like:
1) DFS—>@–>@—>$—>
4 different ouputs would be given to select
2) ASDH—->ASHDD
Different symbol sequences are given & the correct alternative that produces the output obviously had to be selected.
The next set of 4 questions had different interpretation for the symbols.
The second also an analytical test, 36 questions-20 mints:
Different symbols that represented filters were given & their functioning if they worked & if they didn’t were also given, we had to study them & then proceed with the test..the filters description were always present on the screen…so we didn’t have to memorize anything. There were some 8-10 different filters, I think…..like Filter A would filter out orange & yellow colours if functioning well or allow all colours to pass if it is erroneous.
The questions had an input & 4 filters & final output….one of the filters is not functioning well, we had to find which was the faulty filter.
The third test was also 36 questions -20mins
Here, there is an input which goes through a flowchart (thus involving process, decision making) & we had to determine the output. The input may be a big or small, round or square and red or yellow figure…thus there could be 8 different inputs…one of these were sent through a series of steps wherein (say)…the shape & colour is changed, then the intermediate output is compared with a given state..if it matches, it goes through a set of steps…if not a different….after a few number of such processes & decisions, the output had to be selected & all the 8 different outputs were
given as choice.
The 4th test was for 9 mins-60 questions…this was
the easiest of the lot….it was basically just comparing the given string of characters with different options to find the exact match. eg(FY%{o)
1) (FY%{o) 2) (FY%}o) 3) (FY%{O) 4) (FY${o)
Finally, the language test where they gave 1 and a 1/2 hour to study a language & answer the questions(20)…the language is similar to C &
Pascal….very simple(no pointers)…questions with lines of code missing & determine the missing line of the given options….easy ones based on fibonacci &.
