AMDOCS Placement Paper & Pattern

Section: 1
36 qs,30 min.
sample:
FGH
``
ABC=> + => => =>BAA
FG
RRQP
Then:
TUV=> => => =>?
VUT
SECTION:2
36qs,20 min
similar type of qs only boxes of different colours are chosen
SECTION:4
60qs
this is the easiest section
MATCHMAKING:
60 question in 7 minutes.
u can attemp all as question is very easy
1:AM%:$69
match with
a: BM%:$69
b: AM%:$69->correct
c: AM%:69
d: AM%:$59
section:6
technical test.
this is very easy test. you will get enough time.
A language made up of c and pascal is given
And 30 qs follow.25 carry marks and 5 are bonus i.e. if two people
get the same marks one getting more bonuses right will be in
a advantageous

position. If u have learned c well don't waste much time reading

the language as it is like c. go back to it when answering qs. Try
to get as many correctly as possible.
30 qs, 90 min
***********
a program is given and u have to find count
ans of first question is 3 and next question ans is 0(believe me).
1:input string 1011011100010
a long program is given and u'll have to find out the a count
answer given here is =3.
2:the string is changed to 10101010101010 and u'll have to
find the count again.
ans-0
3: if not C1 AND NOT C2 AND NOT C3 =?
answer given here is =if not(c1or c2 or c3).
4:given a program on input string what will be printed
answer given here is =GOOD GOLD
5: answer given here is =CANNY
7:similar qs
answer given here is =HELLO
****a program of binary search is given
ans
1-mean=(top+botton)/2
2=mean
3 top=min+1
4-bottom=mean-1
*********
8:A PROGRAM on fibonacci series u'll have to find out the
changes to be made.
** in this quwstion
in a line given
b=c;
a=b;
this is incorrect
it should be
a=b;
b=c;
and
in next question intialise sum=2;
*************
a program to cheque a palindrom(1253521)
it is very easy,
ans1 temp=n
2 temp >0
3 mod(temp,10)
4 temp/10
plz verify the ans also
****************
Section :3
This is a tough section and there r some coloured lights
and they r on or off.

It is similar to first and second sections. don't panic u'll get

enough time to grasp these in the example time given.
See u.
note-there is no psychometric test
BEST OF LUCK
SECTION -I : PROGRAMMING SKILLS TEST (30 QUESTIONS)
(25 COMPULSORY + 5 OPTIONAL Q'S)
TIME: 90 MINUTES.
SECTION - II: LETTER REASONING. (36 QUESTIONS)
TIME:30 MINUTES
SECTION -III: DIAGRAMATIC REASONING TEST (36 QUESTIONS)
TIME : 20 MINUTES.

SECTION -V : COMPUTER CHECKING TEST (60 QUESTIONS)
TIME: 7 MINUTES.
SECTION -VI: PSYCHOLOGY TEST (136 QUESTIONS)
TIME : 15 - 20 MINUTES.
1) PROGRAMMING TEST:
program- One to find whether no. is perfect or not.
eg. 28 = 1+2+4+7+14 (sum of factors excluding no.)
ans**************
for i=2 to n/2 step 1
if mod(n ,i)=0
then sum=sum+i
endif
endfor
if sum<>n
then return 0(not perfect)
else
return 1(perfect)
*****************
EXAMPLE:
The following program reads 100 integers and displays the
no. of appearances of Even and Odd nos. resp.
MAIN()
INTEGER in,odds=0,evens = 0,i
FOR i = ???????
READ in
IF ????? = 0
evens = evens + 1
else
odds = odds + 1
ENDIF
ENDFOR
PRINT evens,odds
ENDMAIN
A) What does the ??????in line 3 represent?
i) i = 1 TO 100 STEP 1
ii) i = 1 TO 100 STEP 2 Correct ans: (i)
iii) i = 1 TO 100

iv) None of these

B) What does the ????? in line 5 represent?
i) in/2
ii) MOD(in,10)
iii) MOD(in,2) Correct ans ; (iii)
iv) in
THESE ARE THE TYPE OF TEST QUESTIONS YOU WILL ENCOUNTER.
3) DIAGRAMMATIC REASONING :
This section aims at finding the resultant figure
obtained after passing
Through some special symbols (2 in no.)
Process box: When figure is input to this box the
corresponding size.shape
And color attribute changes according to marked X .
Check Box: it compares the input figure with the comparison
Figure .comparison is done of the attribute marked by ?
In the symbol.
