C.C++,OS,DBMS,Computer Architecture,Networking and some microprocessor part was covered in those 60 quesn of technical.
Then 20 min for programming .Immediately after that 10 min for essay writing.
Tips: Most of the times we are prepared for interview but not for technica aptitude .
The test requires sound basic knowledge of each field ,do prepare software engg questions well .At least 45+ correct questions would give chance of next round if code done is correct .
The code is evaluated only if you qualify in tech apti.
File handling program may be tough and tricky one,rest all are easy.
Duration: 90 minutes
Total Questions: 60
