After the written....there were two round of interviewI) TECH INTERVIEWthis round was also long arround 45-50 minthey asked to me1) about educational background2)i have mentioned a project in my resume so arround 15 min questions regarding to my project(if u have done any project and if u know all about u,r project then it will be advantageous for u).they asked.....

Page 4: AMDOCS PAPER

i)draw all front end window of project,ii)what is the best features of your project,iii)what was your role in project,iv)how did u compromize at any critical situation in u,r project when all of you had different ideas,v)have u insert any innovative idea in your project,vi)how fetch data from data base....write query for thatvii)yor project is in which normal form??

3)then they came on ci)how we provide dynamic memory allocation in c.....write, how declare mellocii)is there any difference between melloc and callociii)write code for a function which work similar as strcat do...using pointeriv) what is the use of ,\o, in string,why we don,t use in array,if we don,t provide it instring declaration that what will hapen.v)some times you run a c program in turbo c compiler ,the system crashes...why it happen??

4)after that they asked unixi)simple questions on file permission,ii)nice command,ii)if given chmod 777 what does it mean ,iii)what are system call?iv)how we do pattern searching ??

5) then they moved towards dbms and sqli) what did u study in u,r college dbms or rdbms is there any difference between them?ii) one query regarding projectioniii)one query regarding having clause....group byiv)one query regarding delete operationv)what is functional dependency??vi)what is atomicity?vii) theoritically how can we detect deadlock??

then they asked to me general questions.....6) heve u ever heard about amdocs7) how was amdocs question paper.....what is your comment about that8) before amdocs,how many written u have given?9) do u feel something difference in selection procedure of amdocs to other companies.....10)does pointer(CPI) or percentage reflects real knowledge or not??11) what is the best quality in you...your strength??12) what is your plan for next sem(V sem)....i said that "i will incease my pointers" then

Page 5: AMDOCS PAPER

they said....just brush up u,r concept of c,unix and dbms..because we work on these......                   II) HR INTERVIEWthis was of hardly 15 to 20 min  1)what is the name of other two,those took u,r interview??2) have u heard the ppt then tell me what type of company is amdocs3) describe your self?      4)tell me about family background.5) why would u like to join amdocs?6)have u any plan for further study like mba...?7) would u like to do work offtime.

AMDOCS PAPER AT NOIDA ON JULY 2006

AMDOCS PAPER AT NOIDA ON JULY 2006

AMDOCS PAPER AT NOIDA ON JULY 2006 AT DELHIBe cool, the cut off for this is 60% absolute in this test that is easy to achieve,

Different sections:

->> PROGRAMMING SECTION:time : 1 hour ( sufficient)

For this you will be given a booklet of 5-10 pages that contains the basics of Amdocs derived language ...very similar to C... Please read

it carefully before start attempting this section ( there is some problem in the software , so the time get started as u click on this section). So please first read it then start the test , even examples.

There are 5-6 main questions.. they are like algorithm.. you have to understand what to be done in the programme and there are 4-5 sub

questions for each main question. The subquestion are of fill in the blanks type, some are for pedicting the output ect. ->>LANGUAGE TEST : 20 que, 30 minutes

In the begening you have to select any programming language like C,C++,Java. I appeared for C and the questions are easy. Time : more

than sufficient.

->> SQL /DATABASE TEST : 20 que: 30 min

Page 6: AMDOCS PAPER

Easy one SQL commands, 1 que on views, 1-2 questions are on basic database.

->> UNIX : 20 que, 30 minutes

Easy, basic UNIX COMMAND... read yeswant kanitkar book.. starting 5 chepters..

4-5 questins on general things like on protocols,TELNET ect.

->>PATTERN MATCHING SECTION : 60 questions , 6 minutes.

This is unique,easy and scoring part. But the time is very very less.. u have to be very fast. Generally one can attempt 20-30 que only.....

But this is very important to score good in this section..

example:

for ( ;x + 5*y >800 ; ++i+++)

is similar to

1.for ( ;x - 5*y >800 ; ++i+++)

2.for ( ;x + 5*y >800 ; ++i++)

3.for ( ;x + 5*y >800 ; ++i+++) CORRECT

4.for ( ;x + 5*y >80; ++i+++)

See here all the options are looking similar. You don't need to apply any logic, any calculation... just find the same "pattern" ... its quite hard to attempt in fraction of seconds. Your main consern in this section should be ACCURACY and TIME.

Perhaps there is NO NEGETIVE marking, so before 1 minutes just mark all ( note that there is separate time for each section, so in 6

minutes, this section will go out)

->>APPTITUDE TEST 20 que, 30 minutes

The questions are quite good and need some practice. Time is main concern time and work

age

strems

Page 7: AMDOCS PAPER

percentage and ration

profit and loss

->>NON VERBAL REASONING TEST 20 que, 30 minutes

Good questions, little tough, time is concern.

Practice some RS Agrawal book.

questions are like...

- complete the sequence.. and 4 pictures are given in and the 5th one is to be chosen through the given options.

->>VERBAL REASONING TEST 20 que, 30 minutes

There are basically the questions of data sufficiency and questions based on venn digramms... like

All A are B.

Some B are D.

then which is tru

Amdocs pattern

Amdocs test has 2 sections

1. Aptitude consist of 4 sections n consisted of diagrammatic reasoning n non verbal stuff

2. Technical test consisted of 4 sections each of pseudocode,c,unix n sql all tests r computer based

The tests were :

1. Analytical reasoning: maths

2. diagrammatic reasoning: In this, we were given 8 diagrams and had to select the9th corresponding

dg frm the givn choices. U have to be very fast in this test.

3. problems to be solved using Venn diagrams.

4. This test was to check our adaptation to the computer screen.We had to solve abt 30 qs in 15 min.

U have to be very very fast in this also.

5. In this test we were given a booklet of abt 7-8 pgs in which there was the syntax of some

hypothetical lang, ( its syntax was somewhat like Visual Basic). This was very easy since the

whole syntax was given & u can refer to it. We were given almost 90-120mins for this test. If u

want u can rd the booklet before the start of the test.The qs consisted of programs for which

u have to find the o/p or where there is wrong syntax etc.

Technical

Page 18: AMDOCS PAPER

1. Test Language

A code is given with some spaces in betweenU have to fill up the spaces with correct option, so that code would work correctly.

*******************Remember following points *******************

Print n --> for displaying nread n --> for taking input n from terminal

main() ends with endmainfor ends with endforwhile ends with endwhile.

data types-->IntigerRealstring

Arithmetic operation between integer and real is always integer.

a = mod(b,10) --> a stores remainderalways integera = sqrt(b) --> a store square root of Balways integera = sizeof(b[ ]) --> a stores size of array.

a =XXX(b,2,3) ---> copy string b into a starting from 2nd position upto next 3.xxx = i don't remember this.

for loop is like this

For i=1 to N step 1....Endfor

Dont forget to revise palindrome, fibonaci programs of C.This will help a lot.

Amdocs Recruitment Pattern 

 Amdocs test has 2 sections

1. Aptitude consist of 4 sections  consisted of diagrammatic reasoning n

non  verbal stuff

2. Technical test consisted of 4 sections each of pseudocode,c,unix n sql

all tests r computer based

In C learn for - Programming (ARRAY,SEARCH,SEQUENCE

NUMBERS,PERFECT 

 NUMBBERS,FIBONOCCI etc),Quries on STRINGS ,MACRO especially

In SQL learn for - Commands that are somewhat internal like COMMIT,

 etc..but its easy only

In UNIX learn for - the common features of UNIX console,executing

the                            

commands ,syntax etc.,

The aptitude cum technical test for Amdocs consisted of 7-8 papers. The test is

computer based .It takes abt 5-6 hrs. Each          paper has a time slot . u can take a

break after each test. It's very cool. 

The tests were :

1. Analytical reasoning:simple maths

2. diagrammatic reasoning: In this, we were given 8 diagrams and had to

select the 9th corresponding dg frm the givn choices. U have to be very fast in

this test.

Page 21: AMDOCS PAPER

3. problems to be solved using Venn diagrams.

4. This test was to check our adaptation to the computer screen.We had to

solve abt 30 qs in 15 min( I don't remember the timings very well).  eg:

q#Df684%d

options would be: 1. q#Df634%d 2. q#Df684%d 3. q#df684%D 4. q#Df685%d

U have to be very very fast in this also.

5. In this test we were given a booklet of abt 7-8 pgs in which there was the

syntax of some hypothetical lang, ( its syntax was somewhat like Visual

Basic). This was very easy since the whole syntax was g iven & u can refer to

it.

We were given almost 90-120mins for this test. If u want u can rd the booklet

before the start of the test.(As I said, U can start a paticular test whenever u

want). The qs consisted of programs for which u have to find the o/p or where

there is wrong syntax etc.

6. C test: Study pointers very well .Visit www.c4swimmers.esmartguy.com

that helps you to test the C/C++ programming   strengths.

7. SQL test: It consisted of sql queries mainly inner join, outer join ,group

by statements etc.

8.  Unix test: kernel, 1-2 qs on TCP/IP, basic commands ( more on

commands).

 

AMDOCS PAPER ON 6TH JULY 2007

Hi friends, Amdocs came to our campus for placements on july 6th,2007. This year they have changed the pattern. It was only 2 hours exam. They have removed the pseudo code section. Total 7 sections were there – 4 for aptitude and 3 for technical(C/C++/JAVA, sql, unix). They have selected all the candidates who opted for JAVA in the technical section. There were 95 questions in total. There was sectional cut off of 60% for aptitude section. For technical section, there was no sectional cut off. But in total as usual 60% cut off was there. The total paper was objective. 0.25 negative marking was there. 

Section –I1.Analytical Ability – 20q

Page 22: AMDOCS PAPER

2.Pattern Matching – 15q 3.Comprehension  -- 10q Section-II1.C/C++/Java – We can choose one of them  -- 20q 2.SQL --  15q 3.Unix. – 15q

Analytical AbilityI remember only very few questions. First two questions related to sets. In a forest in total 42 animals are there of which 21 have 4 legs n 30 have horns n 5 have both. Then1. How many animals are there with only 4 legs2. How many animals are there with only horns3. There is a die. We can see only three sides of the die at a time. When 3 was on the top 2,4 were on the adjacent sides like that 2 more cases were given and we have to find out   the number which is on the opposite side of 24. sdfsdf5. questions 5-10 are alike. Two statements n one question will be there. All of them will be having the same options ofa. The question can be answered with help of only Statement I.b. With help of only Statement II.c. We need both the statements to answer the questionsd. We can’t answer the question at all.

And I remember some questions among them

What is the value of sin ½ ? n the statements area.       sin½cos½=0b.      sin½-cos½=0What is the value of n?a.       k3-n3=0b.      k=0Is A=1?a.3A2/5A2=3/5b.AB=1…..like that

Questions 12-16 will be having some number conversions. In general they will give the binary to decimal conversion indirectly. Like for us they have given the following instructions.

 In a number system, $ represents 1 and * represents 0. $ when shifted to left , will be multiplied by 2. So 4 is represented as $** .

Page 23: AMDOCS PAPER

And they have given the questions like evaluate the expression like that. And in another paper I saw that they have given the same pattern except that @ represents 1 and # represents 0. 

Pattern MatchingIn pattern Matching the following options were there for questions 1-3.A.     The expression is same as A&CB.     The expression is same as B&CC.     The expression is same as A&BD.     All are same.E.      None of them are same.

Sample question:1. [email protected]. [email protected]  B.nnMMM@734  C. [email protected]

Be careful in this section2. In some system + represents *, - represents +, * represents / and / represents- then evaluate the following expression 6/8-3*6+43. Similar kind of question with different system 

For Questions 6-10 they have given  selection criteria of a company and we have to find out whether the given candidate is eligible or not like 

The candidate need the following:1. He should have 60% till 12th in all the examinations2. He should have minimum of 65% in graduation and 70% in post graduation

And he should satisfy atleast one of the following conditions:1.      He should have recommendation letter.2.      He should be an athlet in atleast state level

1. Rahul have 62% in 12th , 75% in graduation n 80% in PG. He was tennis champion in university Level. (Ans: not eligible)

Questions 11-15 also have the same type of questions but the selection criteria is different. 

ComprehensionWe were given a comprehension related to sequential, direct memory addressing, indexing n hashing and based on that 10q were there. 

C

1. What is the output?Struct ee

Page 24: AMDOCS PAPER

{int i;}Main(){ Printf(“main()”);} (Note: Semicolon is missing after struct)

2.What is the output?Main(){Int I=5;For(i=5;i>=0;i--){Printf(“%d”,i); Main();}} (Note:I is not a static variable)

3. What is the output?Main(){Char *p;p=fun(); Printf(“%s”,*p);}Char* fun(){Char b[]=”hello”;Return b;}

Some more questions on strings, One question was there on enumerations …. Like that….. 

SQLMost of the questions u can answer only if u know PL/SQL n with some knowledge of ORACLE. 

UNIXMy seniors told me that in previous papers shell scripting was not there but this year we have some questions on shell scripting too. So be prepared for that.1. What is the output? – shell scripting for loop and command line arguments2. One question on $$ -- used for shell variables3. What happens when we give cal j 1997—j is for jan, june,july4. One question on pipes using te

Test Paper :5 Paper Type     : Technical - Java  Test Date        : 15  April  2010   Test Location  : PUNE  Posted By        : AbhishekHi Amodocs Written pattern is as below :

There are two section 1. Aptitude section: This section consist of 3 sub section analytical reasoning, learning ability and logical reasoning.a. analytical reasoning: in this section total 20 question in 20 minutes1) If 50 student plays cricket and 30 plays football and 10 plays both find the total number of student in a class.2) If  $ means less then, ? means not greater then, * not equal to and % means not not less then 2.1) find one which implies P$Q*R like question.

b. logical reasoningif + = / and - = * and / = + and * = - then1) 2+4/5-7*8 equal to

c. learning ability  :  one passage is given we have to read the passage and find the answers.

2. Technical - Java, unix and sql

java: 1. some question on thread and trace the output of the program

sql:some question on index and view and query related questions, some on permission and constraints question most of the theoretical questions.

unix;

1. command for comparing two files2. cat file1 file2 >> file3 find output.3. which command is used to create a sub processes4. ls -l ! grep unix > temp.txt what is output.5. how to delete 100 lines in vi editor using single command6 which key is used to reach to the end of line7. if temp.txt contains 100 lines how to print 11th lin
