Marvel Realtors Software Engineer Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Round: Test
Experience: (Shortlisted comps:12 I.T.:3 & tronics:5)
-Consisted of 30 questions,7 from quant and remaining from C and OS
-Questions from C were like what will be the output, will the code give error or not
-those from OS - 2 Qs on Real time Systems (chp 19 from Galvin, 8th edition), process sheduling algos.


Round: Technical Interview
Experience: struct
{ int a;
char b;
}
what will be the size of the struct?...i said 5 bytes....he sd...dont you know abt padding?...i sd no...so he gave me this prob..
short* ptr;
int a;
ptr=&a;
and asked me what happens here...
For me, it was all about 1st interview. Because 2nd interview was timepass. Qs form !st interview -->
-Interviewer started with pointers, can we add pointers, can we subtract them.
-int a, *p=&a; what will happen if i write **p;
-can we access static variable of 1 file from another file. can we pass address of static variable from 1 file to another.
-3 programs, each having some global variables. he gave me the code and asked how
-implement memcpy function. i said i dont know what that function is about. then he explained me what function does and then asked me to write the code for the same. he was expecting solution to that condition where source and destination overlap.
-padding in case of structures.
-struct student {int rollno; char *name,*address...}; which data structure you will use to store records of 100 students..(array). Then he asked, what you will use to store records where no of students is not fixed. (linked list with each node containing record of 10 students and pointer to next node).
-reverse linked list (recursive and non-recursive)
-then he asked about final year project.
-then he asked the reason for not going for Higher education.
He asked me Qs only from C n DS. no Q from OS was asked. But do prepare for OS as some friends were grilled for 1-1.5 hours over only OS.

Tips: 1) Be truthful throughout the interview.
2) Don't worry too much.They like VJTIans. (In fact, there's a fair chance that the interviewer himself is one).
