My name is Ashish Dubey. I am in third year Electronics. Good news I got placed in PEROT Systems Corporation. The campus was arranged at Lokmanya tilak cllege of Engg, Navi Mumbai. Total 14 colleges were invited, around 680 candidates & surprisingly only 5 got placed. So u can assume it wasn’t easy, infact.
Selection process:-
Aptitude test 100 marks 45 minutes
English 25 marks 20 minutes
Technical Interview 2-interveiwer
HR interview 3-interveiwer
Aptitude test:- It was consisting 1 marks – 20 questions
2 marks – 15 questions
5 marks – 10 questions
1 marks had complete the series kind of quitions.
2 marks question were really tough rather time consuming. It was based on time & work, train, water stream and age problem.
5 marks question were logical totally on C-language. Flow chart & programs were given and was asked to find output, again was time consuming.
Suggestions:-
Start solving 5 marks first.Can refer R.S. Agrawal but more than that Self Practice is must. Questions were easy but time consuming so practice for short cuts & better guessing power will also help.
English test:-
It was really easy. Fill in the blanks & 4 options were given. I think no special practice is required for this.
Only 32 out of 680 cleared it.
Technical Interview:-
It was really brain teasing. You must be very clear about your basics. Also u must have good command over C-language. Average time taken was around 45 minutes each candidate.
Q-asked :- What are structures in C? What is OOP in C++? Inheritance in C or C++? Construction & explanation of JFET, CMOS, MOSFET etc ? all basics….
Some candidate told to write different C-programs. Some were told to draw Electronic Ckt diagram. Some logical questions also.
Suggestions:-
Nothing will help….. no luck factor …only study hard …be aware of your basics & some concrete C.
Only 13 out of 32 selected for HR round.
HR interview:-
It was really a nightmare. 3 people were interviewing around 45 minutes each candidate. Questions were like…tell me something about yourself ? why IT ? why can’t u achieve same things in Electronics or Mechanical ? why u left your previous employment ? given a chance will u work for them again ? if not then why ? if same profile is in IT how will u survive ? Why should we hire you ? what it means by Professionalism ? about your hobbies …..
Suggestions :-
remember more than selection it was rejection round….don’t lie ….be ready to give examples of your hobbies…be confident…be calm, relaxed….they will bombard questions on u ? & will not give time u to speak…be polite & diplomatic in your approach…don’t act smart or over confident….
Only 5 finally got placed.
Credits:-
parents & teachers first. All my classmates who helped me both ways positively as well as negatively. All my friends…..
Special thanks to our honorable TPO Mr. Chandran. for supporting me …motivating me & always teaching me……his anger & shouting only helped me in HR round. Always talk to your TPO….ask for suggestions….ideas…key areas to improve….it is beneficial for us not for him…
Common suggestion:-
Nothing on luck…getting placed is not by luck…it requires a lot of practice… start practicing from today itself….go to sites like.. > get the papers & start practicing….www.freshershome.com
