Interview Preparation Tips

Round: PRE PLACEMENT OFFER
Experience: Interns (both CS and IT) were selected in my third year. Pre-placement offers were rolled out to 16 of us which was roughly a conversion ratio of 1:3. A couple of ECE hires were added when SRI-B visited campus later.

General Tips: If you're in CS or IT, this is the only format your resume should be in: -----
Take your internship seriously. Have fun and all but also get your project done. It's not the end of the world if you don't get a PPO. Campus placements are tension-filled, no doubt, but a lot of people get equally good if not better jobs after missing out on PPOs.
Make sure you talk to your manager about the PPO process. She will be the one giving you your final review. So ensure that she knows you want the job. Prepare a fancy presentation for the HR. By fancy, I mean slick and professional. Think Apple, not flashy Microsofty graphics and stupid word art.
Skill Tips: Google GSAT (Global Samsung Aptitude Test) a week before the test and make sure you practice some similar CAT type questions. Questions are of medium difficulty and time management is a real issue (most of us were unable to finish properly). - I didn't have to use these but I've heard good things about codechef/topCoder and books such as Cracking the Coding Interview by Gayle Laakmann McDowell.

  • Q1. Difference between DFS and BFS?
  • Ans. 

    DFS and BFS are two popular graph traversal algorithms used in computer science.

    • DFS stands for Depth First Search and explores as far as possible along each branch before backtracking.

    • BFS stands for Breadth First Search and explores all the vertices at the present depth before moving on to the next level.

    • DFS uses a stack data structure to keep track of visited nodes while BFS uses a queue.

    • DFS is useful for finding path...

  • Ans. 

    Double pointers are used to store the address of a pointer variable.

    • Double pointers are useful in dynamic memory allocation.

    • They are used to modify the value of a pointer passed to a function.

    • They can be used to create linked lists and trees.

    • Example: int **ptr; //declares a double pointer to an integer

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. Differences between Mutex and Semaphore. Why do we need Mutex if we have Semaphores
  • Ans. 

    Mutex and Semaphore are synchronization primitives used in multi-threaded environments.

    • Mutex is used to provide mutual exclusion to a shared resource, allowing only one thread to access it at a time.

    • Semaphore is used to control access to a shared resource, allowing multiple threads to access it at a time.

    • Mutex is binary, meaning it has only two states - locked and unlocked, while Semaphore can have multiple states.

    • Mute...

  • Q5. Explain the concept of virtual addressing and the allocation of virtual addresses during the execution of program
  • Ans. 

    Virtual addressing is a memory management technique that allows a process to use a range of memory addresses independent of physical memory.

    • Virtual addresses are mapped to physical addresses by the memory management unit (MMU)

    • Virtual addresses are allocated to a process during its execution

    • Virtual addressing allows for efficient use of physical memory by allowing multiple processes to share the same physical memory

  • Q6. What is deadlock? how to prevent deadlock?
  • Ans. 

    Deadlock is a situation where two or more processes are unable to proceed because they are waiting for each other to release resources.

    • Prevent deadlock by using a proper resource allocation strategy

    • Avoid holding onto resources for too long

    • Use timeouts to release resources if they are not being used

    • Implement a deadlock detection and recovery mechanism

    • Avoid circular wait by imposing a total ordering of all resource types

  • Answered by AI
  • Q7. Write a program to find the duplicate in the array(only one duplicate is present in the array)?
  • Ans. 

    Program to find the only duplicate in an array

    • Create a hash set to store elements as they are encountered

    • If an element is already in the hash set, it is a duplicate

    • Return the duplicate element

  • Q8. Consider we have large amount of physical memory.Do we still need virtual memory? What is the use of paging in that situation
  • Ans. 

    Virtual memory is still needed even with large physical memory. Paging helps manage memory efficiently.

    • Virtual memory allows for larger programs to run than physical memory can handle

    • Paging helps manage memory efficiently by swapping out unused pages to disk

    • Virtual memory also allows for memory protection and sharing between processes

    • Examples of programs that require virtual memory include video editing software and la

  • Q9. How do you find the middle of the linked list?
  • Ans. 

    To find the middle of a linked list, use two pointers - one moving at twice the speed of the other.

    • Initialize two pointers - slow and fast

    • Move the slow pointer one step at a time and the fast pointer two steps at a time

    • When the fast pointer reaches the end of the list, the slow pointer will be at the middle

  • Q10. Time complexity of building a heap using linked list and arrays
  • Ans. 

    Time complexity of building a heap using linked list and arrays

    • Building a heap using linked list takes O(nlogn) time complexity

    • Building a heap using arrays takes O(n) time complexity

    • Linked list implementation is slower than array implementation
