There is two saprate test

Technical (30 questions-30 minutes) - Separate questions for CS and EC. Technical was conducted first, followed by Analytical.No Negative marking.No Separate Question Booklets.Everybody had thesame one -Technical test (for computer science) consisted MAINLY 'C' questions. And most of them were difficult ones. There were 3 questions from Computer Graphics (Tata Elxsi is also into Multimedia Development ,thet may be the reason)

Analytical (30 questions-20 minutes) Analytical test DID NOT HAVE ANY ENGLISH QUESTIONS. R.S Aggarwal's 'Quantitative Aptitude' would be very helpful here because there were questions asked from numbers/Simplification/Problems on Ages/Profit and Loss/Ratio and Proportion/Time & Work/Pipes & Cisterns/Time & Distance/Problems on Trains/Problems on Boats & Streams /Area/Volume & Surface Area/Calendar/Clocks. So as you can see, they covered almost the entire book

11.

A code which had some declarations of some data items. There were a couple of normal data items(char,int..) and some pointers as well and a malloc call. You have to find the total memory taken up in the stack(Hint:Pointers and all are allocated in heap, not in stack, so dont count them).Also in most of these questions, they were specifying that the OS was 32 bit.
12.

Posted By : admin



The test consisted of 2 sections one technical section 30 questions. to be answered in 30 minutes it included questions mostly on C and some 5-6 questions. on OS The C portion was difficult and the average score was around 15-20 The questions were totally different...not from Test your C skills... there were quite a few mistakes in printing so assume them accordingly some people told that quite a few questions. matched with a book C under DOS test so if can get that book it's well and good else be confident with what u know

1.

nt a=9;
switch(i)
{
printf("hello");
case 9 : printf("abc");
break;
default : printf("def");
}
what would be the output ?
ans : the program will compile correctly with no errors but will give undesirable results
2.

int z[3]={1,2,3};
int *p=&z[1];
int x=*p++;
printf("%d",x);
ans. note here that the value of *p will be assigned to x and then p is incremented therefore x=2
3.
