Ans:12:00pm
Don’t worry for N,S.E & W it does not matters .

HR
My Technical & HR was combined, as i m from Electronics & Communication department so i prepared two of my subjects firstly Digital electronics and the second one as Tele communication. In computer field i did C & Data Structure only.
Then i was called...............
I opened the door and took permission to come in..............
ME> Sir, may i come in?
HR>come in.
HR> sit down
ME> thank u Sir
Then i forwarded my file
HR>what is this?

ME> Good morning Sir , i m Kumar Saurav from Dhanbad ,as u know thats the coal capital of
HR>tell some thing about your family?
ME> told................
HR>ok,u r from electronics & communication?
ME> yes Sir.
HR>which subject u r most comfortable?
ME>Digital electronics.
HR>can u draw a JK flip flop?
ME>yes Sir ....(then drawn)
HR>write its truth table?
ME>.......(written)
HR>Explain it?
ME>......(explained)
HR>can u draw Integrator Op-amp?
ME>(drawn but not fully correct)
HR>its wrong
ME>yes Sir i can not remember know
HR>can u write bubble sort program?
ME>Sir i can explain the logic but cant write the program
HR>explain call by value & call by reference?
ME> (explained)
