Whole Test paper

110 students sat for the aptitude test out of which 20 where sortlisted and finally 10 were selected.i
was one of them after getting rejected in Infosys and Accenture.

The recruitment process consists of the following rounds:

1) Aptitude test (General + Technical)

2) Technical Interview
3) HR Interview

APTITUDE TEST

The duration of the test is approximately 110 min. It was an online test . There were a total of 95
questions to attempt.

There is 60% sectional cut-off for both sections.that is what I heard but I dont think that they follow it
strictly as I wont hv got 60%.it depends on the performance of your batch.

every right ans has +1mark and wrong ans has -0.25 marks.so be careful if u dont know leave the
question.

Test paper has many sets.

The aptitude test comprises mainly of two sections:

1) General Aptitude Test-contains 3 subsection
2) Technical Test-contains 3 subsection

General Aptitude test

The general aptitude test consisted of the following sub-sections:
1) quantitative ability 20 ques(25 min)-toughest part of the test as time is very less.questions were
not so easy.i was able to do only 11 ques.trick(when u press submit time stops and ask for
confirmation if u press cancel u will be brought back to question page)try this at ur own risk as they
might rectify this fault.
3 ques on set theory(venn diagram) not so easy prepare set theory thourougly from R.S Agarwal.
2 ques on clock-damn easy took 1 min to get the ans.
next 5 ques was very easy.-no prep required
5 ques were like $ represents 1 and 0 represents * then 4 is represented as $**.some common
airthmetic were given u hv to calculate result and just have to convert the no in binary.time
consuming.
i forgot other ques but they where not so easy u hv to prepare R.S Aggarwal thouroughly.

2)comprehension(15 min)-damn easy.my passage was on connecting computer.i even dont hv to read
the passage as i know 8 ans out of 10.it took me 7 min in total to find remaining 2 ans and crosscheck
my ans with the passage.
3)15 easy questions(15 min) on substitution ques like + is *,* is -etc,pattern matching,reasoning.it
will take no more than 12 min.

Technical Test
The technical test includes three sub-sections:
- SQL (15 min)
- UNIX (15 min)
- Language (15 min) (Here you can choose between C, C++ or Java)
I chose C for the language test.

1)C ques were very easy if u know even a little bit of c u will be able to do 15-16 ques. 20ques(25
min)-ample time.
a)int a=10;
b=a++ + ++a;
print(b);
ans-22
b)what is the function used to read n write a specified no of line from file?

2)SQL sec(15 ques,15 min)-very tough only one who is very comfortable with SQL can answer.
ex-what is truncate?some tables were given output is given u have to select a query that generates
that o/p.
two three ques i even didnt understand
u hv to go through IVAN BAYROSS to clear this sec

3)unix sec(15 min)

he UNIX section comprised of 15 questions mostly on unix commands.
Some of the questions were as follows:

1) Which command would you use to change the priority of a running process?
a) nice b) ps c) top d) ls
Ans: a) nice

2) Which command is used to display the output of a command as well as store it in a file ?
a) cat b) grep c) tee d) top
Ans: c) tee

3)which command is used to go to end of line in vi editor?

a)a b)A c)e d)E
ans-b
4)what is the extension of main memory in hard disk is called?
ans-swap space
like this easy ques where there on unix.if u r bit familiar with unix u can clear it but u hv to remember
commands with their options.
i use to work on linux so i cleared this section with ease.

2)Tchnical Interview
My technical interview is of about 60 minutes .it seems to be long but when u r inside u never feel it
and u just hv to ans patiently as ques are very easy n bit tricky. A good knowledge of SQL and C is a
must. U must know at least the basics command of unix otherwise u will be rejected.they will just ask
u to write 10 commands of unix and they will ask ques on those 10 commands only.

Well my first question was are u very tired?

Then hobbies
Ur fav subject-i told OS n C.
Then they asked me abt semaphore,write code for it ,explain give a practical ex where u will
implement semaphore?done with this easily
Then they asked deadlock-i answered
Relation between semaphore n deadlock. i was not able to ans properly.they were not satisfied with
my ans this time.
ask me abt projects if i hv done any.i said i hv made a small site on asp.then they asked its
functionality,ADO databse connection etc of which i answered half of questions properly.

an int datatype of 1 byte.

int x=0;
for(x=0;x<256;x++)
print(x)
what is o/p.
I answered wrong.o/p will be an infinite loop,he helped me to ans this.its given in kanetkar find out
how.

Then they got into sql(my weak part and they recognise it).asked ordering of groupby,having,orderby
in a query ?how they are executed in memory and then i was not able to ans any ques on this.
Then they asked views,how they are updated n bla bla.i was lucky as i know views properly i
answered max question this time.

then they come to unix.they asked me ever hv u used a platform similar to unix.as i work on fedora 8
it was my strong part.
asked me to write 10 commands.easily done.
Asked some questions on groff,troff,ifconfig,ps,jobs,kill,killall commands.i answered all of them
easily,they were little impressed for the first time.satisfied with my unix knowledge again move to c.
this time very simple ques.what is pointer,hw u allocate memory to them etc.
then they asked me are u doing any project for be?.
i said yes told them abt my project as i hv already decided the project,it is related to networking.
They asked me abt router,bridge,http packet,how packet got transfers frm one pc to another?
I answered all this very efficiently as i hv some idea abt networking.
Finally they said do u have any ques to ask? i asked what should i do to improve myself technically?
They said go through as many courses as u can n improve ur database knowledge specially
queries,rest is fine.

3) HR interview
Dont take it as time pass as it is equally important.be prepared with general hr questions.then only u
can get through it.
ques were very general like why amdocs,tell me abt urself,weakness,strength,family
background,relocation etc.
it was for around 20 min

It seems to be very long and drilling process but if u are confident and keep urself fresh its easy to
clear all round.
Best of luck to all of u.....
Whole-Testpaper
Guys most of the Amdocs tests are conducted by Mertitrack and would most probably be
online. So keeping this in mind this page contains a link which contains an online sample
paper of Amdocs and resembles very much with the actual test. But do study the text given
here as pattern is not correctly given in sample paper.
Remember there would be 6 subjects sections comprising of

1. Quantitative aptitude: 20 questions, 25 mins

(Venn diagrams, DS, Some questions on average, 2 Logical Reasoning Caselets each
comprising of 4-5 questions)

2. Attention TO detail (Easiest Section of paper): 15 questions 15 mins

(Pattern matching, arithmetic operators substitution (if + is *),2 Decision making questions
each comprising of 4-5 questtions.) This section in sample paper comprise mostly of pattern
matching questions which is not the case in actual paper and would follow the above
pattern.

3. Technical passage: 10 questions, 15 mins

(This sub-section comprise of a technical passage (USB, Cookies, Computer N/w, File
Organization, O.S etc) and is followed by 10 questions. Don't commit the mistake of reading
the whole passage as all the questions are direct, so just browse through the passage.)

4. Programming ability test (C / C++ / Java): 20 questions, 25 mins

I would recommend you to choose between C and C++ as Java was quite difficult and
remember that based on your language selection in this test you would be asked question in
technical interview.

Books to look for exploring C, test your skills in C, Pointers in C

Online Stuff: http://www.c4swimmers.esmartguy.com solve its Pointer I, Pointer II etc

tests.

5. SQL (Toughest section of paper): 15 questions, 15 mins

This is indeed the toughest section of the paper. There can be things which you must have
not heard of earlier. Remember questions given in sample paper are quite different from
what actually appears in paper

Questions asked are mainly based on:

1. Index (Clustered, Non Clustered)

2. Views (Updateble and read only views, How they are internally stored)
3. Where condtion involving columns that contain NUll values (so in this case you must
remember how AND and OR operators work on NULL values)
4. INSERT statements to a table.
5. Some built in functions (Decode(),Substr(),Instr() )
6. Nested queries
7. Join operations (involves ANSI AND THETA notations)
8. Result of a Query (A table schema would be given and you would be required to
determine what would be its output whether it contains any error)
9. Error Correction in a Query i.e what should be modified to make a query run succesfully.
This mainly comprise of errors in group by, having clause, joins (for e.g. Joining two tables
without any condition although is correct but would not yield the result)

Books: Ivan Bayross SQL, PL/SQL the Programming Language of Oracle.

6. UNIX: 15 questions, 15 mins

Basic commands
Tee, chmod (would always be asked),tail, head, cut, paste, sed, vi editor internal
commands(i, I, a, A),grep, etc.
System calls
May or may not be asked.
Do remember meaning of special symbols such as $$,$!,$#,$*,$1 etc.
Books: Unix Concepts and Application by Sumitabha Das, Test Your Unix Skills by Yashwant
Kanetkar.
Overall

1. 95 questions: 120 mins

2. 25% negative marking would be definitely present.

3. Need to score 60% Overall marks in Aptitude portion comprising of Quantitave Ability,
Attention to detail and Learning ability (Technical Passage).
4. Need to score 60% Overall marks in SQL, UNIX, (C/ C++ / Java).
AMDOCS PAPER ON 20th AUGUST 2006 AT DELHI

Hi folks the paper was a mix of toughness, time constraint and easy questions.
To summarize it, it contained of two main sections:
1.The Aptitude section
2.The Technical section
People told me that there is sectional cut off of 60% in each of the two sections:
Now talking about the sub sections of the paper:
The Aptitude part consisted of 4 subsections.
The Technical part also consisted of 4 subsections.
Now ellaborating the paper, first it is a long brain and computer adaptation exercise, of nearly four hours.
Aptitude Section:
Ist Section: 18Qs in Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation questions in 30 mins.
This is a easy section u can easily do it, there is enough amount of time.
IInd Section: 16Qs in Quantitative Ability in 25 minutes, again a simple section
IIIrd Section: 25 Qs. in 20 minutes it is about pattern matching.
IVth Section: 60 Qs. in 6 minutes, there is negative marking, here u get a question which has some text
and u have to select the same text among the 4 options.
speed is tested here in this fourth section, but a person can attempt about 30 to 40 questions depending on
his/her speed.
NOTE: All the above sections are explained with good examples before u start the test so be cool and
patient and read these options with ease and u can crack this section.
Techincal Section:
This section also has four subsections as follows:
Ist Section: This section is the Amdocs pseudo language section, be cool the name is the only scary part
in this section nothing else, remaining is easy with a lot of time, u get 60 minutes in this section for 25
questions, but before u start off this section it is advisable to read the booklet that is given along with this
section before starting this section, i had forgotten to do this but i believe still managed to get all
questions right, it is basically a section of algorithm.
IInd Section:This section tests u on SQL queries, some are very simple some are tough, u get 20 minutes
in this section, ample time to solve all questions.
IIIrd Section:This is a section on UNIX language, basically on different types of commands and some
theoretical concepts, it also has 20 minutes.
IVth Section: This section is a choice betwee any one of the languages which is your favourite among
the four given languages C/C++/Java/Cobol. This is also a section of 20 minutes.
NOTE: All the technical subsections have a lot of time for them to be solved easily within the time limit,
provided u know them.
And in case there is only sectional cut offs then it is advisable to try to score the fullest or maximum in
the first section(Amdocs pseudo language)

Important:
Mind u, u can take time off between sub sections of the main sections also so relax in between as
well to keep ur efficiency...
In all the test is very long, it will take near to 4 hours to complete the full test, only advice is not to rush
through the sections quicly as only once u click on the button next will the section start, so take some time
off between sections get refreshed and then concentrate with full vigour in the sections.
All the best.....Amit Ganguli

2)along with which hardware this is added...

3) where is security key retain

4) which algorith is used to generate a key.....something like that

After the written....there were two round of interview

I) TECH INTERVIEW

this round was also long arround 45-50 min

they asked to me

1) about educational background

2)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.....

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 that

vii)yor project is in which normal form??

3)then they came on c

i)how we provide dynamic memory allocation in c.....write, how declare melloc

ii)is there any difference between melloc and calloc

iii)write code for a function which work similar as strcat do...using pointer

iv) 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??

Amdocs Placement paper - Amdocs Question and answers

Hi,

i have attended amdocs xam through amcat .Directly technical written test.

my module was java so there were two programes and 40mins duration was given.

following are the questions

1.write the program for the following output

3*2

4*5*6

10*9*8*7

this is the program output range was n;

2. write the program for the following output

arr={444,55555,7777,666,22,11}

output: arr={5555,7777,444,666,11,22};

both to be done within 40mins.

then 30 multiple choice questions ,It include

pl-sql,

sql-queries,

unix basic commands like cat,wc,grep,sort,ls

output of java expectation questions. etc.

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 the
9th corresponding dg frm the givn choices. You 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.

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 you want you can rd the booklet before
the start of the test.The questions consisted of programs for which you 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. It also consists of qs on args
of main function, i.e. argc and argv

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 –I
1.Analytical Ability – 20q
2.Pattern Matching – 15q
3.Comprehension -- 10q

Section-II
1.C/C++/Java – We can choose one of them -- 20q
2.SQL -- 15q
3.Unix. – 15q
Analytical Ability

I 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. Then

1. How many animals are there with only 4 legs

2. How many animals are there with only horns

3. 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 2

4. sdfsdf

5. questions 5-10 are alike. Two statements n one question will be there. All of them will be having the
same options of

a. 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 questions

d. 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 are

a. sin½cos½=0
b. sin½-cos½=0
What is the value of n?
a. k3-n3=0
b. k=0
Is A=1?
a.3A2/5A2=3/5
b.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 $** .
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 Matching

In pattern Matching the following options were there for questions 1-3.

A. The expression is same as A&C

B. The expression is same as B&C

C. The expression is same as A&B

D. All are same.

E. None of them are same.

Sample question:

1. [email protected]

A. [email protected] B.nnMMM@734 C. [email protected]

Be careful in this section

2. In some system + represents *, - represents +, * represents / and / represents- then evaluate the
following expression 6/8-3*6+4

3. 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 examinations

2. 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.

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

1. What is the output?

Struct ee

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…..

SQL

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

UNIX

My 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 arguments

2. One question on $$ -- used for shell variables

3. What happens when we give cal j 1997—j is for jan, june,july

4. One question on pipes using tee

Amdocs HR interview Questions
25323

How to Answer Common interview Questions?

"An interview is a great opportunity to reflect on your past accomplishments and future goals, Take
the time to review what you have done, where you want to go, be honest and to the point. If you
engage in conversation in a compelling, relevant and positive way with your prospective employer,
you'll give yourself the best chance to land the job you want."

1.Tell me about yourself?

This question may be challenging because you need to find a good balance between providing enough
information about yourself, without rambling. The key is to keep your answers focused on information
relevant

to the position.

2.What are your weaknesses?

This is one of the questions job seekers fear the most. The best way to answer is by choosing a
professional trait and explain how it can be an advantage if well managed. When you identify a
weakness, remind the employer you are actively taking actions to correct it. For example, "I used to
have trouble with procrastination, now I have learned to write down a list of things that I need to do,
and keep a calendar to keep track of deadlines."

3.What are your long-range career goals?

The employer wants to know if you can see yourself working for the company on a long-term basis.
Emphasize that you want to secure a position that offers opportunities to grow, develop skills and take
on challenges and responsibilities. Do not indicate that you hope to start your own business, change
careers or are thinking of going back to school full-time.

4.What’s your definition of success?

This is a challenging one for many a job hunter because success can be subjective. You might think
that success means landing this job and working your way up in the company, but your employer
wants to know why you would be successful with the company. What would you be doing on a day to
day basis that would lead to success? You might talk about how you maintain a strong work ethic,
work with feedback from your boss and peers, and maintain a high level of integrity at all times.

5.What motivates you to do a good job?

The answer to this one is not money, even if it is. You should be motivated by life's noble pursuits. You
want recognition for a job well done. You want to become better at your job. You want to help others
or be a leader in your field.

6.What's your greatest strength?

This is your chance to shine. You're being asked to explain why you are a great employee, so don't
hold back and stay do stay positive. You could be someone who thrives under pressure, a great
motivator, an amazing problem solver or someone with extraordinary attention to detail. If your
greatest strength, however, is to drink anyone under the table or get a top score on Mario Kart, keep it
to yourself. The interviewer is looking for work-related strengths.

7.Tell me what you know about this company?

Do your homework before you go to any interview. Whether it's being the VP of marketing or the
mailroom clerk, you should know about the company or business you're going to work for. Has this
company been in the news lately? Who are the people in the company you should know about? Do the
background work, it will make you stand out as someone who comes prepared, and is genuinely
interested in the company and the job.

8.Why do you want to work at X Company?

This should be directly related to the last question. Any research you've done on the company should
have led you to the conclusion that you'd want to work there. After all, you're at the interview, right?
Put some thought into this answer before you have your interview, mention your career goals and
highlight forward-thinking goals and career plans.

9.Why did you leave your previous job, and why are you leaving your current position?

Be as honest and specific as possible. Remain positive and focused on the future. Always be respectful
of your previous employer. If you currently have a job, focus on what kind of skills you want to
develop and how this position fits in with your career plan.

10.Where else have you applied?

This is a good way to hint that you're in demand, without sounding like you're whoring yourself all
over town. So, be honest and mention a few other companies but don't go into detail. The fact that
you're seriously looking and keeping your options open is what the interviewer is driving at.

11.What are your salary expectations?

Try to avoid giving out a precise number at this point. Focus on how important it is for you to learn
more about the job. If pressed to answer - give a range of what you understand you are worth in the
marketplace.
12.Do you have any questions?

This is a great opportunity to show your interest in the company. Ask questions about the company's
culture, advancement opportunities and what you can expect from your future colleagues.

Why is this position open?

Can you describe a typical day or week in the position?

Amdocs previous years placement procedure 2012,2013 Amdocs visited our campus last
year for their 2014-2015 batch. Amdocs selection procedure was simple Amdocs First
section was Aptitude and technical on line test and Technical and Hr interview. For detailed
informations and selection procedure details refer below candidates experiences

Hi All,
Amdocs visited our campus on 14th May . First of all there was an online test conducted by MeritTrac
company on 12th May and then results were declared on 14th.
The details of Online test -
Sections -
1) Analytical - Quantitative - 20 questions
Learning Ability Logical) - 15 questions
Technical Passage - 10 questions

2) Technical - C/C++/Java - 20 questions

SQL - 15 questions
Unix - 15 questions

4) No negative marking

5) 60% Cutoff in both sections.

Guys analytical section was very easy and requires a day preparation only. Go through RS Agrawal for
Quantitative and Logical. Technical Passage was very easy where a passage related 2 computer
terminology was given. Most of the questions can be solved directly For rest go through the passage
fast. Dont waste time in this.

But technical section was tough.

Choose any language from C/C++/Java and this section will really test your programming skills and
concepts. If you are choosing C then go through pointers very well. OOPS concepts must b very clear
if you are choosing Java or C++. Then comes the SQL section. Some of the questions were so difficult
that even I havn't heard some of them. Practice your queries like subqueries, joins, concepts like
views, indexes, database terminologies must be clear.Keep some extra time for this section as there
were some questions where some queries were given and you have to find error or select best query.
At last there was Unix. Go through some of the basic commands like cat, tee, chmod, grep etc along
with their attributes. This section was easy if you are comfortable with allthe basic commands. Go
through VI editor and its commands, 3-4 questions from it must b there.
Books -
For sql - Ivan Bayross
For unix - Sumitabha Das

After 2 days i.e on 14th results were declared and out of around 150 students only 12 cleared the
apti. So a lot of focus is given 2 apti, so practice hard. Then TI and HR interview was there.

Check the company profile and they can also ask questions based on that.
Guys if you clear the apti then be cool because 70% of the battle has been won. The TI of mine was
very cool. It went for around 1 hr and he basically asked some of the basics of sql like foreign key,
basic query, normalization etc and basic commands of unix. Whatever language you have selected in
apti, he will ask questions based on that. So choose carefully. Guys be prepared with ur project what
you have done bcoz they focus a lot on ur project. After that my HR interview was a basic one like Tell
me about yourself, hobbies, career objective, relocation, working in night shifts, achievements etc.

Don't take HR lightly. Finally only 4 were selected and I was one of them. Guys 1 thing i want to tell
u that AMDOCS is really a very good company with a lot of opportunities. They offered us a package of
3.5 pa there is a yearly performance bonus of around 1 lakh. So guys prepare yourself very well and
see u in AMDOCS. Feel free 2 get back 2 me for any queries.

All the Best

AMDOCS PAPER AT NOIDA ON JULY 2006 AT DELHI

Hi,
I attended Amdocs technical test before three months. The test comprises of 5-6 sections and the there is
sufficient separate time
for each sections. The test is through there software " pilate". I have seen that many of you need the
Amdocs papper. I don't remember
any question but i will explain the pattern in detail.

Be 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

------------------------------ --------------------------
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
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 true

....
.....
------------------------------ ------------------------------ --------------
Best of luck.

various sections…

There were mainly two sections...

1.Aptitude

2.Technical.

There were various subsections..

In Aptitude..

1.Quant…

2.attention to detail (like pattern matching)…

3.comprehension (based on computers).

Now in Technical…

1.c/c++/java (you have to choose one)..

2.sql

3.unix.

Friends this test was a mixture of all kind of questions.. tough n medium n easy.. you have to
concentrate very much to clear the test…because test is main hurdle… there was no subsection cutoff
and no negative marking…but overall sectional cutoff was there so u need to concentrate on both
sections equally…to clear the unix just go through the book of samitbha das…it’s a very good book for
unix….n for sql that ivan bayross is sufficient…n fro c just ptactice the outputs n basic concepts of c….n
for aptitude r.s aggarwal…..

Now Interviews…
1.Iechnical..

The panel was very cool….actually one thing I want to tell u that just leave interviews in the hands of
god….bcoz its not known that wt they will ask in interview…u just read your comfortable subjects and
rest leave on god…

2.HR
Mine was only for 10 minutes.. they just ask simple questions.. nothing worry about that.. but you
should know about Amdocs very well….just visit the site of Amdocs n note down every point n also in
ppt….But be sure that if u have a dream to be placed in Amdocs then prepare for it very
consistently…because to clear it u need good preparation
Amdocs General aptitude

1. General Aptitude

2. Paying Attention

3. Learning ability

4. Java/ C++/ C

5. SQL

6. UNIX

First three sections were extremely easy. Try to score max. Of these three sections.

Questions on Java were easy but covered vast concepts like OOPS.

1-2 questions were asked each from threading. exceptions, inner classes and collections.

SQL was bit difficult. You must know about views thoroughly. Just an overview might not be enough.

I didnt know anything about UNIX. But other candidates were saying that it was easy only.

If you score more than 65 % overall you will get through. In all there were 95 questions which have to
be done in 120 minutes.. If you know techica; well (or do not know what to do in a particular section
:)) time well be enough..

From about 600 students that gave the exam 49 were selected for the interviews. Luckily I was one of
them. We recieved the call for interviews on 13 October and interviews were held on 16 October in
their Office at Gurgaon...

Technical Interview panel was very cool.. They try to make you fully comfortable..

Q. Different type of joins

Q. List 10 UNIX commands brethlessly..

Q. What are your likes and dislikes?

Q. What type of music deo you like?

Q. Sing a song for us?

Q. Solve this puzzle in 1 minute( Was not able to solve it)

The interview went for about 45 minutes. If you give 70% questions right you will be through.

Results were announced about 4 hours later.. 15 students were selected for the HR round..

HR round

Q. Tell me about yourself

Q. Strengths nd weaknesses. Why?

Q. Achievements in life

Q. Why amdocs?

HR was like formality only. Around 12 students were finally selected.. With God's grace I was one of
them We were given offer letters on the same evening.

My suggestion will be to try to help each other out during process. Process of Amdocs is such that
your competition is with you only. Not others.. Best of luck..

Online Assessment: The test link was sent by email. It was lugoTest platform
and the test was 120 mins. The questions included SQL, Java, Linux commands,
and 1 programming question(How to merge 2 arrays and sort them).

● Given a paper of size, A x B. Task is to cut the paper into squares of

any size. Find the minimum number of squares that can be cut from the
paper. Paper Cut into Minimum Number of Squares
● Given an array, divide it into two equal subsets, such that the difference
between the sum of the elements in both arrays should be minimum.

ROUND 1 (Online Aptitude): This round had 5 sections.

1. Quantitative
2. Verbal Reasoning
3. Objectives on PL/SQL and Unix
4. Coding and SQL: This section had 4 questions.
○ Based on arrays, simple array manipulation. (Very Easy)
(choice between C/C++/Java)
○ A variation of subset sum problem (Hard) – DP soln passed all
test cases.
○ Based SQL query using order by, Limit. (Easy)
○ Based SQL query using joins, Order by, group by, Limit, sum,
average. (Easy)
5. Technical objectives:
The choice between C/C++/java to solve the MCQs mainly based on
OOPs concepts.
We were informed about the result the next day and had to undergo a
psychometric test :
Online Test – 2hours: In the online test, four-section were there the first round
comprised of MCQ questions which have five-sections including three coding
questions.
● Section1: Aptitude, 15 questions in 20 minutes.
● Section2: Technical, 18 questions in 20 minutes.
● Section3: 3 coding questions, 60 minutes
● Section4: 10 questions in 10 minutes.
● Section5: C++/ Java technical MCQ, 8 questions in 10 minutes.

In the coding questions, you can use a brute force method. And, it is passing all
the test cases. For MCQ, you should have basics strong in SQL, C++/Java, and
reasoning.
Round 1 (Psychometric Test): It was 15 minutes round in you have to answer
50 MCQ questions. These Questions are just to know about you, your behavior
as a software engineer, and confidence. It was a compulsory round for all
selected in the online test. And, there is no elimination.
In the online test, there are some 250 students and, they cleared 54 students for
the interview.
Round 2 (Technical Interview): It is a technical round and, he asked one coding
question. An integer n is given. You need to find first n prime numbers. For this, I
use sieve methods to get the prime number.
Merge two sorted arrays in O(1) extra
space using QuickSort partition

1. Coding and SQL: It had 2 questions on coding and 2 on SQL queries.

For coding, you could choose the language from C+, C, Java. I don’t
remember if there was Python or not. For SQL, it was restricted to
MySQL. SQL queries were on joins, aggregate functions, group by,
order by. Coding questions: 1. Replace array elements by the sum
of the next two consecutive elements. 2. Find the longest Even Length
Substring such that Sum of First and Second Half is same. In the 2nd
question, we had to print the substring and not the length. O(n^3)
solution was accepted.
There were 2 questions based on problem-solving skills
1. You are given a vector of words. Two words are connected if there is a
difference of at most one character. You have to return a vector
containing words that are connected one way or another.
Eg: CAT, BAT, BAD. Here CAT is connected to BAT directly.
CAT is also connected to BAD indirectly since BAT is connected to
BAD.
2. Note that it is possible that the mutual connection of two words doesn’t lie
between them, consider the following possible test case :
CAT, BAD, BAT
Here, the answer in both cases is the same.
3. There were two SQL query questions as well.

3. MCQs related to core CS Subjects: The subjects such as DBMS, OS, Linux,
Shell Scripting, OOPs, SQL, PLSQL were covered in deep. Although these were
normal questions, you still need to have deep knowledge and know theoretical
concepts. I would suggest Sanchit Jain’s playlist on YouTube for DBMS, OS
preparation. For Linux and shell scripting, I had watched crash courses on
YouTube, which proved to be of great use for me. And yes, these concepts
helped me a lot in answering some questions asked in tech interview. So, please
DO NOT SKIP anything in these subjects.
4. Trace the Output: I was asked to select my preferred Programming language
amongst C, C++, JAVA, Python, JavaScript, etc. I chose JAVA. Then, I had to
trace the output of the Java Programs and point out errors in some of them as
well. GeeksForGeeks has an awesome Set of trace the output for all the
languages. If you complete those, you will be able to easily solve 20 to 30
percent questions. But again, knowing the concepts of the programming
language will help you in solving the maximum questions. I had watched
Durgasoft’s Java Playlist for OOPs, Exception Handling, Collection Framework.
Although the videos are quite long, but trust me, its worth it.
5. Programming Round: This section had four problems 2 were programming
questions and 2 were MySQL Questions. The programming questions were easy
to medium level. If you code regularly (NOT COMPETITIVE CODING) , you can
easily crack these problems. For SQL questions, one of the question was to be
done using a simple select query and Order By Descending query. The second
SQL Question had to be done using a simple Join Operation or Sub Query,
That was end of a 2 hour long first round. You need to be medium fast to be
able to solve everything. NO NEGATIVE MARKING.
Round 2:
A very simple, easy, non elimination Psychometric round. It was just 30 min
test.
Round 3:
This was a technical interview. Very exhaustive, yet very easy. Following were
the questions asked:
