The question paper had 48 questions to be answered in 1hr. Time will be quite sufficient. They have different sets of question papers.
Some questions that i remember are:
1>General section : computer science general knowledge
2> Computer science general: simple questions

a)Compaq b)Dell c)option 3 d) Option4
Ans: a
2) what does 3G denote

Ans: find out??:-)
3> c/c++ section: questions on c/c++, programs o/p etc.
1) main( )
{
unsigned int i=3;
while( i >=0)
printf( "%d", i--);
}
how many times will the printf stmt be executed?
a)0 b)3 c)4 d)infinite
Ans: I think the answer is infinite, b’cos ‘i’ is an unsigned integer and it will not decrement below ‘0’ and hence end up in an infinite loop.(yes, i checked and it is getting stuck in an infinite loop)
2) main( )
{
int x,y, z;
x=2;
y=5;
z= x+++y;
printf("%d %d %d", x, y z);
}
a)3 5 7 b)option 2 c)option 3 d)option 4
Ans: a
3) # define swap(a,b) temp=a; a=b; b=temp;
main( )
{
int i, j, temp;
i=5;
j=10;
temp=0;
if( i > j)
swap( i, j );
printf( "%d %d %d", i, j, temp);
}
Ans: On compiling i got ans 10, 0, 0. I did not understand the concept. Please expalin this to me.
4>Java section: questions on java related stuff.
