IF YOU HAVE GOOD SKILL IN THIS SUBJECT, YOU EASILY CLEAR YOUR WRITTEN TEST. 2 ROUND TECHNICAL INTERVIEW 1.YOUR DEPARTMENT TECH ? 2.YOUR'S ABLITY IN C & CP 3 ROUND HR INTERVIEW

PAPER 5: Most of the question were from SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, C programming, Data structures, Operating systems such as-> SDLC (software development life cycle)-what r various models [waterfall, prototype, iterative enhancement, spiral], wht r the steps under these models. -> some question about Testing, unit testing, integration testing, alpha, beta testing ,system testing. -> What is CMM levels, Six sigma, ISO standards. ->what r various steps under which a C program is converted into .exe file (preprocessing, compilation, linking) ->Program for any sorting method (I made bubble sort, he discussed complexity issues of various sorting algorithms) ->Program for matrix multiplication. ->What are the different kinds of tree (questions about Binary tree, Binary search tree, AVL tree) ->Difference between arrays and linked list, which one is better (I said it depends upon application, if we want to store some name ie character string of predefined length array will be better option bcoz more memory is required to store pointers etc) -> Some question about Aerospace, aviation etc(I said these thing were not part of my syllabus at all, but I if I get a chance to learn the these I can quickly learn them) ->Which data structure is used in expression evaluation, how a infix expression is evaluated (first converted into postfix, then evaluate using stack)

-> Some operating system questions (about scheduling, semaphore, mutexes) -> what is Real time system, difference between hard and soft real time systems with examples(hint: in hard real time systems strict dead lines r imposed, THE SYSTEM WILL FAIL if the processing is not done within defined time constrains ex. Firing a missile on a aircraft, whereas in soft real time system deadlines are important but missing the deadline will not lead to system failure, for ex. DVD player when a command is given thru remote, the delay of few millisecond will not lead to serious implications)

-> I suggest you all to focus about your projects more. He may drive several questions from ur projects itself.

There is procedure of two technical rounds, (In my batch, for some candidates 1 technical round was face-to-face and another one is telephonic, I suggest to be prepare for telephonic interview also, practice for describing your project etc on phone also, bcoz it is a bit hard to make understand to a person who is not present in front of u, so practice it also)

So, ALL THE BEST, be prepare, have FAITH on GOD. He has thought something for u, dont worry. (I know it is good to write or read, but vry hard to implement., but try it, surely it will work),

For written test: Two set of papers were there, 1 for EC & 1 for CS. I opted for CS. 50 technical: most of the weightage was given to DBMS, data structures etc. 30 C programming: Read exploring C completely, in my suggestion that is vry good & sufficient book for C questions. 20 aptitude question:

Few questions were like-

1> Arrange Them in the order of space complexity Merge sort, quick sort, heap sort

2> Void main() { complete=10; complete1=11; if(complete=12) { printf (hi); } else { printf(hello); } printf(%d %d ,complete,complete1); }

o/p- hi 12 11

3> How many times in a day the hr. & min. hands of a clock are in straight line. 4> How many times in a day the hr. & min. hands of a clock meet each other. 5> Structure A

{ int x; float y; }a; union B { int p; float ; }b; choices: 1.all the times a & b have same size, 2. such declaration r not possible 3. a & b have same size. 4.. 6> a simple qus on flow in a switch-case block.

PAPER 6: There are two set of paper EC and CS EC people can even take CS set CS syllabus is very easy please refer other paper on net our paper was same to same like net so please solve all questions

How much time is spent usually in each phases and why ? Which one do U want to work if selected in Honeywell ? ( I said I don't like testing ) They asked why ? I said it is a boring job. Then they tried to analyse the knowledge in testing. What is testing ? Which are the different types of testing ? Then they explained the way they do testing. They said that they are doing testing in requirement phase and design phase so that if any problem comes in those phases it is not ncecessary to go back and change the requirement or design. All the test processing is automated. Why do U want to join Honeywell ? Ans : To get a practical feeling of Real-time systems. Do U know C++ ? How good are U in C and C++ ? Rate U'rslef in both C and C++. ( 1 - 10 marks) Second round (around 45 minutes ) They wanted a bio-data at the time of inteview. I gave the placement office bio-data and in that one there was column 'Major subjects studied'. Many of the questions came from those. Explain U'r research work. Lot of questions from it. What is a distributed system ? Some questions about CSP. ( I kept quiet) Which languages do U know ? What are the differences between Pascal and C. I said Pascal is a strongly typed language. Then what is typing and its advantages ?

Then he asked some questions from Compiler construction and Lisp. WHich are the different computer architectures ? What is the requirement in MIMD ? What is the difference between RISC and CISC processors ? Difference between loosely coupled and tightly coupled systems ? What is an open system ? Still a lot of questions from software engineering . Which are the different phases in Software life cycle (asked again) Why is analysis and testing phases very important ?

What is the advantage of Ring network ? Compare it with ethernet. In a real-time system which one do U prefer and why ? What is the basic requirement of a real-time network ? Which one is costly - ethernet of ring networks ? Some questions form OOSD and Digital signal processing. What is inheritance, encapsulation etc.

Third Round (15 minutes) Asked about the percentages and marks during SSC, PDC, B.Tech and MS. When can U join ? Who is U'r guide ? U are from which place ? Where is it in Kerala ? How do U perform in the first two interviews ? WHy have U given Honeywell as dream job ? Some more personal questions Fourth Round (45 minutes) 1. Aptitute test : 15 Minutes, 20 Questions Towards the middle questions are easy than from the front. eg. Product of three consecutive nos. 210. What is the sum of two least numbers? ans.: 5 * 6 * 7 = 210 , sum = 11 is answer eg. If the area of the sqaure is increased by 69 % how much the length of the side will increase? ans.: 13 (i think) eg. if the sum of five consecutive nos. 35? how many prime nos are there : ans: 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 35 so two primes eg. if the length of the rectangle is reduced by 20% and breath is increased by 20 % what is the net change ? ans.: 4 % decrease 2 i. Electrical & Electronics 15 Questions and,nand...circuit realted stuff, .......... ii.Data Structures, Algo., & Complexity theory : 5 questions a. if W is a sequence of strings without a and W' is its reversal then WaW' is generated by:

It was quite easy.. Another Ques was abt democracts and republicans haveto be selected from two groups of A,B,C,D,E and F,G,H,I.Atleast one has to be an army person and another an economist... * The quans was ok... problems based on cisterns,volume.profit and loss ,work.... and a couple of ques on Venn Diagram. Section 2: most of them were easy... but there were tougher ones based on files and unions. Section 3: There were 3 to 4 ques based on Control System which included one block diagram and a signal flow graph. The diagram for Type 2 order 5 system. The ques from LIC were very fundamental like.... the slew rate depends on _______. The other ques that I remember are

What is FFSK? A ques on the properties of Darlington Pair. FFT is due to ______ there were ques on boolean algebra like... the min terms are (2.3.4.5) then the boolean expressions is _____ _expression for Algebraic XNOR is _______ Micro processor and controller ques was quite easy... the two modes of 8086. 8051 is optimized for ____ bits. why program counter?... stack is used for_______ Interview Procedure The Written Test contained 100 multiple choice questions divided into a) Verbal ability (15 ques).

Their pattern is OS : 10 Questions C : 10 Questions C++ : 10 Questions Java : 10 Questions OS is compulsory and you can choose any one of these three language. I had chosen C++. Here is few question I still remember. please do not go on my answers they may be incorrect also. C++ Questions 1) If there is one class template which has one static member variable that static variable will belong to

a) Every instance of class template will share the same copy of static variable b) Every instance of class template will have its own copy of static variable. c) Compilation error d) Don't remember. 2) What is template specialization ??? a) define a new template class for a specific data type. b)c)d) 3) How we will overload operator *+= such that obj1 *+= obj2; implies that obj1=obj1*(obj1+obj2); four choice were there last option was d) it is not possible I checked that option. 4) IN C++ what does the operator overloading means. a) Giving new meaning to existing C++ operators b) defining functionality of existing C++ operator for user define objects. c) defining new operators. d) don't remember. 5) what is '>>' in C++ a) right shift operator and insertion operator depend upon the use b) right shift operator and extraction operator depend upon the context use c) right shift operator and insertion/extraction operator depend upon the use 6) class A { int a ,b; A() : a(0) {b=0;} }; if you create obj of this class as A obj; a) b will be initialized before a b) a will be initialized before b c) both will be initialized together d) none of these. OS Question All OS questions were based on basics of UNIX all small -2 commands. 1) how image of one process can be replaced by other process a) exec 2) how image of one process can be copied to new born process a) fork

3) how can you list all the files used by a particular process 4) how do u create a link of file C Questions I did not attempted the C paper but still I just had a look on C and java paper. in C most of the question were programs and their out was asked in LINUX environment. 1) int main() { char *a= "Novell"; char *b; b=malloc(10*sizeof(char)); memset(b,0,10); while(*b++=*a++); printf("%s",b); return 0; } 2) int main() { printf("Hello"); fork(); printf("World"); } PAPER 17: key constraints are .....for...
