SIERRA ATLANTIC PAPER ON 13th JULY
Hi frds, I am M.MOUNIKA from MGIT with CSE specialization. I am happy to say that I am placed in Sierra Atlantic software services.
This company came to our college ONCAMPUS on 13 July 2007.
Eligibility-65%. Only for cse and it.
Totally 56 members attended and 21 cleared the written. Then we need to fill our details in the given form. Then they divided these 21 members into 3groups and conducted group discussion. From 21 members 12 members were selected. Then easy writing was conducted but there was no elimination. Then interview was conducted. Among 12 members, 7 members were selected.
Totally there were 4 rounds
1) Written
2) GD
3) Easy writing
4) Interview (hr+tech)
WRITTEN: - 3 SECTIONS (2 1/2hrs).
Paper was tough and length but cut off was low.
A) VERBAL: - synonyms, antonyms, analogies, jumble sentences, one word substitution, given sentence is divided into parts and we need to find that part which contains grammatical errors.
B) QUANTITATIVE: - puzzles (R.S.AGRAWAL),probability, permutation and combination, numbers, series, etc...
(There were no questions on cubes, data sufficiency, data integration, syllogisms, blood relationships, pipes, clocks, calendars, odd man out).
C) TECHNICAL:-c (question on output of the given programs, arrays, pointers were there -refer Test
GROUP DISCUSSION: - 7-9 mins
1st group topic â love marriage vs. arrange marriage.
2nd group topic âbadsha or shansha (amitab or sharuk who is better).
3rd group topic â is sms polling required or not (e.g.:- in Indian idol).
They didnât give us time to put points on paper. GD was started as soon as topic was told. I was in 2nd group. I was late to speak out but told nice points.
One boy started Gd he was supporting amitab, his fluency was good. He took example of kabi kushi kabi gam. He was the only one against to all of the group members. I thought he would b the first person to b selected but he was not selected. May b becz he was dominating others and was onesided.
Some other told abt kbc and kbc2.
Some other told abt their age differences.
Other told that it depends on the director who gave them character to play.
I told that we canât compare each other.becoz every individual have their own talents and they r different in there own way. Example I gave DON movie.
I also told that sharuk is young and by the age of amitab, sharuk can become as great as amitab and may be more than him.
Also told some point against amitab abt the movie nishabd whr amitab played negative role etcâ¦.
1person told that how can we say whether right eye is better than left eyeâ¦
At last I concluded the Gd as said above
