ZENSAR PAPER ON 3RD MARCH,2008
There Selection procedure is normal as other companies , we have to under go 3 stages :

1) Aptitude Test

2) Technical Interview

3) Hr Interview

Aptitude Test : (there was no negative marking but there is the sectional cut off of 50%)

The test was divide in to 4 categories and each of them contains 20 question and 20 min. are provided for each section , and we were forced to solve a section for 20  min. only and once the 20 mins are over then only we can jump to the next section .

First section was the English section , for me it is the toughest hurdle coz I had prepared the articles ,prepositions ,tenses ,synonyms and antonyms but the pattern of the test was totally different , there was a complete sentence in which a fragment is underlined and we have to replace that fragment with the given options , and it was a real hack when I tried out options one by one every one is perfectly fine. I was really confused(  dimag ki ghanti baj gai thi yaar kuch bhi nahi samjh me aa raha tha , jitne experiments kar sakta tha kar liye but kuch bhi nahi hua ab to lag raha tha ki bhagawan hi malik hai ) and the next five question were like

Prem Chandra was a _______ poet , he has written several ______ with his title and  still lots of them _______.

In these question I shooted lots of arrows ( I hope some of them might  hit the target )

Next 5 question were like  Heat: temperature::  _______:_______ I m sure that I haven’t answered more then 2 correctly .

And the last five question were based on a passage ( I say to me that ,”yaar  agar English ki sectional cut off cross karma hai to kuch bhikar ke ye sare question thik karne hi padenge” ) I read the passage twice and I m sure that I must have answered all the question right .

Two mins were still there , I tried to keep myself calm but I was really frustrated .



Next section was Maths no problem for me at all ..I was quite frustrated coz of mine English section that’s why I was even unable to remember the table of  18 in one of question I have to find 18 * 9 nothing came in to mind at that time every thing was like ??????? then I done 180-18 to calculate it again was even unable to subtract I said oh god …what is  happening today . Then after a min I regained my senses and I have done 16 question 100% correct in just 10 or 11 odd mins. Question were very simple like
1)A can do a work in 31 days and B can do the same work in 8 days  ,A alone started the work after few  days he was joined by B , and the work completed in 10 days . After how many days A is been joined by B.

2)In an election between 2 candidate one have got 53% votes and won by 1057 votes , how many votes were there ?

3)A spent 3589 Rs. In first four months and 5216 Rs. In next eight months , if he saves 2368 Rs per month then what is his salary ?

4)A man sells a bike and a cow in 14000 Rs. , by selling his bike he loses 20% and gained 20% in selling his cow , if the total profit was 200 Rs. Then what was the cost price of cow?

5)Two no. are in 2:3 ratio if the three fifth of the first number is added to two third of the second no then the new ratio will be ?

6)The cp a ltrs of milk is 12 rs , a milk man purchases 20lts of milk and wants to earn 200Rs. in the transaction if he sells 20 ltrs of milk then how much water will be the sp of a ltr milk….(too simple its not allegation)

And simple problem on ages, allegation , time and distance etc.

Next Section was reasoning is was avg. not too easy not too tough , an average person can do almost 65% of the question and rest of the question were quite tough ,question were like ,

A, B, C, D, and E were 3 guys and 2 girls , each one have the b'day in  Jan, Feb,…may;

Each one of them like sweets, ice cream….etc.


Note : verbal as well as non verbal reasoning was there .( don’t worry it was easy )


Now It’s the time for the Technical Section which was the last section of the paper  :

Most of the question were based on the C output and rest of the question were from networking , Computer Architecture , Operating System. Question were like:

1)which is the fastest : FTP ,TELNET ,TCP, etc.

2)output:

 main(){

  int x=20 ,y=35;

  x= x++ + y++;

  y = ++x + ++y;

  printf(“%d %d”,x,y);

  }

3)char *p[]=”rachit and devender”;

  printf(“%C”,++(p[4]));

4)const char *p[]=”abhishek and Ankur”;

    char k=’a’;

    p[1]=k;

    printf(“%s”,p);

5)main(){

   extern int i;

   i=5;

  printf(“%d”,i);

  }    

6) main(){

   int i,j=2;

   if(i%j !=0)

   j=5;

   printf(“%d”,j);

   }

 For what values if i the output will be 5 : options 1)when i is even  2) odd 3)prime 4) fro all

7)complexity of merge sort .?

8)which sorting also will use to sort {1,2,3,4,5} ?

9)which cpu register holds the address of next instruction?

10)Main(){

     Char *p[]=”pradeep mani”;

     Printf(“%c%c%c%c”,p[i],i[p],(*p+1),*(p+1));

     }

11)  select * from dual ; output..??

12)  we cant typedef  (i) pointers (ii) function (iii) double (iv) I and II both
