SAPIENT PAPER ON 11th AUGUST AT MYSORE
The test was on 11th Aug 2007, in Vidya Vardhaka College of Engineering,
There was two rounds.
1) Code a problem
2) Tech Interview - this was after a week in Bangalore JSS college
I hope you will find help from this info. sharing…!!
Problem(1 hour duration)
There are three ICFAI exam centers, candidate can choose online these exam centers with preference. Ex like:
1st preferernce EC-B
2nd preference EC-A
3rd preference EC-C
There are two classes
Class candidate
{
1st preference
2nd preference
3rd preference
Exam_date
}
Class Avail_seat
{
Seat_avail_in_A
Seat_avail_in_B
Seat_avail_in_C
}
Allocate the seat as per 1st preference, if not available, then allocate 2nd preference.
WAP to implement the concept. (You can avoid the main and not important codes).
I coded like this
Class candidate
{
1st preference
2nd preference
3rd preference
Exam_date
Public :
Int Get_first_preference()
{
(char) Return 1st preference;
}
\
Int Get_second_preference()
Int Get_THIRD_preference()
Date GET_DATE()
{ }
}
Class Avail_seat
{
Seat_avail_in_A
Seat_avail_in_B
Seat_avail_in_C
Public :
void set_seat_A()
{
Seat_avail_in_A = Seat_avail_in_A – 1 ;
/* so one seat will reduce from the total seat available in the ecam center A */
}
void set_seat_B()
void set_seat_C()
int get_seat_A()
{
Will return the seat available in the EC- A
}
Int get_seat_B();
Int get_seat_C()
}
Other than the above classes, I took one more class, which is
Class alloc_seat : inheritence candidate /* I used inheritance in my program also, so a syntax error…!!
{
char seat_allocated;
public :
void seat_allocated(candidate_list[]) /* This is the main function they are explicitly asked */
}
void alloc_seat :: seat_allocated(candidate_list[])
{
/* program flow
if date is the required date
{
If(Get_first_preference() = ‘A’)
{
If(get_seat > 0)
Set_preference(); /* So the EC-A seat will will be deducted by one;
Seat_allocated = A ;
}
elseIf(Get_first_preference() = ‘B’)
else If(Get_first_preference() = ‘C’)
If(seat_allocated == NULL) /* If seat is not selected */
If(Get_second_preference() = ‘A’)
If(Get_second_preference() = ‘B’)
If(Get_second_preference() = ‘C’)
If(seat_allocated == null)
If(Get_third_preference() = ‘A’)
If(Get_third_preference() = ‘B’)
If(Get_third_preference() = ‘C’)
Else
Cout<< “Seat is not available on this date.”
}
}
Above code is only for a particular day. To do it for all dates which is in calendar…?? Check it out
Tech Interview (Pure technical, around 1 hour duration)
This was on another day in Bangalore JSS college.
They will check your confidence, understanding capacity of a problem and also analyzing and solving capacity. They least bother about HR questions.
These are the questions..
1) How you feel to study again(I was worked for one year)
2) Tell me about your self
3) Define the first round problem briefly
4) Did you implement fully?
5) I was asked to explain the program, which I did in first round
6) Asked to complete what I missed in first round(Date).
7) Explain static global structure
8) Implement virtual function
9) Do you want to ask any thing?
a) Requirement of fresher’s in Sapient
b) About the internship
10) Will you work up to 12 night?
11) Will you work in testing?
12) Feedback was given on the spot interview panel
Be very confident, and be good in C/C++, OOPs concepts. Then Sapient will be yours..! Finally I got selected in Sapient with 3.6 L pa for first 6 month and then after 4.2+ L p.a. This will be increment depends on your performance.
All the best
