Candidate-Experiences
Hi All,
I am Amar, a 2010 passout from DIT Dehradun. I have attended the campus placement drive for Sierra Atlantic on 24th Nov 2010 at GNIT, Greater Noida. Well, I don't remember questions of written test but I will tell you all the basic stategy.
There were approximatly. 500 students participated in the drive. The criteria was BE or B-Tech or MCA (2010) freshers with 60% throught. The position was of Associate Consultant - Trainee.There were 3 rounds in selection procedure Written, GD and HR cum Tech interview
Written Round:
There were 3 rounds of written one by one without any break. It consits of Technical Test, Aptitute Test and Verbal ability Test. There were sectional cuttoffs but no negative marking, Each section have 50 questions and only 50 mins to answer them so Be carefull for time. All the sections were tough so you have to prapare very well. For the Technical paper revise all the basic concepts of each area. There were 20 questions on SQL and Database. 15 questions on programming and 15 questions on other areas as Data Structure, Operating Systems etc.
English Paper: Antonym and Synonym were very tough. And all the other things were normal. Then they told us to write an essay about the movie which we have recently seen. I have written about "3 idiots", my favorite movie.
Then there were GD's. There were 8-9 members in each group. They have selected approximately 2-3 students from each group.The topics of GD were very easy but they were only checking our confidence and communication skills or Knowledge about the topic.
In GD they have selected only 34 students and I was lucky to be one of them. My GD topic was "Should facebook or Orkut be bannd or not"
Then there were HR and technical interviews. It was easy but tricky. My interview started with:
1. About Youself.
2. why do you want to join our company.
3. Family Questions.
4. Puzzle(Easy).
Technical interview:
They asked Question from Sql, Java, C++ and about SDLC.
Then, they announced to tell results within a week on our emails. It was Wednesday and on Monday, I got the confirmation mail from Sierra Atlantic. Total selections were 23(collective information)
So don't lose your hope and confidence. Be prepare to crack the exam on next campus drive. Hope to meet you all in Sierra Atlantic campus.
