3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Over all aptitude and reasoning were easy but verbal was little confusing because mostly all the choices seemed to be correct.
Tips: Start doing the passage comprehension lastly as they are time consuming. In case of passages, first read the questions once and remember the key words, then move to the passage and find for answers.
Duration: 105 minutes
Total Questions: 80
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Interviewer asked me to tell him about myself. While I was describing, he stopped in between and asked how I’m managing with my long distance travel. Explained and continued telling about myself. I explained about my Mini projects. He was impressed with that and asked some questions in it.
Then I explained about my final year project and again he asked some details about my project. I was asked to draw the flow chart of my project. Asked about some software life cycle models and difference among each and then asked to explain the life cycle I used in my project. Explained. I was asked to write a SQL query. Then asked about JAVA, C and C++. He asked how I managed doing all my mini projects in spite of long distance travel. Explained and he was impressed. At last he asked whether I have any questions. I asked him whether Infosys is working on mobile development and if not what are the other technologies. Interviewer explained. He also explained about his work. Since I know little bit about it I managed responding him with some questions related to his explanation. I was not much nervous because the Interview was more like a conversation you can have with a knowledgeable person than like an interview. So I was comfortable enough to manage.
Overall , I had a very nice experience and gained some knowledge.
Tips: Key to clear Infosys HR round is communication and confidence.
Focus and dedication towards your work is the key to success.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: (1) Give the output of the following program
int main
{
char ch[]={‘1’,’2’,’3’,’4’,’5’};
char *p = (char *)(&ch+1);
char *q = &ch+1;
printf(“%d %c %c”,sizeof(ch),*(p1),*q);
}
(2)
int main
{
double i=2.0,j=1.0,sum=0.0;
while(i/j>0.001)
{
j=j+j;
sum=sum+(i/j);
printf("%f\n",sum);
}
}
The question here is : For how many steps this while loop will run and what would be the best
approximate value of the sum after the loop ends .
(3) TOC question
Given a grammar
s>AB
A> a | BaB
B>bbA
Which of the following statement is false ?
a. Every string will be of even length .
b. Every string will not have three consecutive a’s .
c. Every string will not have four consecutive b’s .
d. Every string will have at least as many a’s as there are b’s
(4) You are given a disk where ‘1’ represents a occupancy of a sector and ‘0’ represents
vacancy of a sector ....given a hexadecimal string DFE00454AB which represents the various
sectors ... find the nearest percentage of occupied sectors ?
(5) Find the output
int arr[2][3]={{1,2,3},{4,5,6}};
int (*ptr)[3]=&a[0];
printf("(%d,%d)",(*ptr)[1],(*ptr)[2]);
ptr+=1;
printf("(%d,%d)",(*ptr)[1],(*ptr)[2]);
Will this program compile properly or will end in segmentation fault ??
(6)
double full(double a)
{
return (int)(a+0.5);
}
does this always work??
(7) int x=123,y=231;
int t=0;
int l;
l=x^y;
while(l)
{
t++;
l&=l1;
}
printf("%d",t);
(8) char str[80];
strcpy(str,"junk");
scanf("%[^india]",str);
printf("%s",str);
What will be the output of this code snippet if the given input is “Gujarat”?
(9) Given a inorder traversal eg 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 , Check which of the following pre order
traversal will it return .
a. 1 6 3 2 7 8 4 9
b. 6 7 3 8 1 9 2 7
c, 2 4 6 8 1 3 5 7
d. 1 3 5 7 2 4 6 8

{
int j=12,i=15;
i*=j2 ;
j&=j1;
printf(“%d %d”,i,j);
}
Write the output.
Round: ALGORITHM AND DATA STRUCTURE DESIGN
Experience: 1- Find gcd of 2 numbers U & V in O(log UV)^2 .
2. Test cases for finger print reader say in a laptop to login . Here you can swipe your finger to
have a secured login .
eg . I will swipe my finger and the system will allow me to login .
3. Design question......for billing , u have barcode, barcode number,item price, taxes, discounts
for items (some criteria were given and u have to design an also for calculating discount) and
then finally compute Net price .
State advantages and disadvantages of any alternative solutions.....
Calculating discount :
a.) If you buy X quantity of the item P , then you can buy other item Q for free (X,P,Q are
specified).
b.)If you buy any item P for price X , then you can buy other item Q for free (X,P,Q are
specified).
c) If there are multiple discounts available then apply all those.

Experience: oup Activity :-
They gave me some wooden blocks and crayons and asked us to make a logo and a tag line for the technical group of Morgan
Stanley individually, after some fifteen minutes they said due to shortage of time we must join forced with two more people and
design the same with the collaborative effort of all the three of us.Then after another fifteen minutes, we were again asked
to combine forces with the other team of 3 members and provide them with the final results.
. ProFit :
This was basically a HR round and I was at first initially asked about all the four projects that I had listed. Why MS? Do you have passion for technology? Do you have the qualities of a leader? Why should we hire you? What was your contribution in the
group activity?
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Again I was asked about the projects I had done, but now he asked me how I would do the same project if I was asked to do it now, write a code for data retrieval in one of the projects I had done. He also asked about scaling up my project to fit a larger set of
users. I said I would use a Btree and he asked me to write a code for the same data retrieval using Btrees.
He moved on to puzzles and I had heard everyone of them before itself but the tricky part was that he nearly guessed that I had heard them before, so I gave a sub optimal solution .
