ZENSAR PAPER ON 3RD MARCH,
2008
I want to start with a quote that I always try to follow in
my life that , “ If the victory is certain then even a
coward can win but the real brave are those who dare to
fight even if they know that there defeat is fixed “. From
the day when I joined my college I had the dream to start my
carrier with a growing company where I could get an
opportunity to utilize my abilities & skills . This dream
seems to be come true when Zensar technologies visited our
campus , it was 3rd of March , 2008 , stage was well set ,
show was just to begin.
Four people were came from Zensar for the recruitment and
now it’s the time. For the PPT i.e Pre Placement talk …in
that they have told us about there selection criteria ,
about Zensar and of course the most important thing the
package they are offering us .
They were very strict about there eligibility criteria , and
the eligibility criteria was all though 60% , few of our
friends are only 1 or 2 marks short of first division in
10th standard but its really mysterious they don’t even
allowed them to sit just for the one odd mark .
There Selection procedure is normal as other companies , we
have to under go 3 stages :
1) Aptitude Test
2) Technical Interview
3) Hr Interview
We all were ready for the Aptitude Test and I was really
feeling embrace for few of fine friend who were very
intelligent but couldn’t make it just because of the
eligibility criteria .
Aptitude Test begins : (there was no negative marking but
there is the sectional cut off of 50%)
The test was divide in to 4 categories and each of them
contains 20 question and 20 min. are provided for each
section , and we were forced to solve a section for 20 min.
only and once the 20 mins are over then only we can jump to
the next section .
First section was the English section , for me it is the
toughest hurdle coz I had prepared the articles
,prepositions ,tenses ,synonyms and antonyms but the pattern
of the test was totally different , there was a complete
sentence in which a fragment is underlined and we have to
replace that fragment with the given options , and it was a
real hack when I tried out options one by one every one is
perfectly fine. I was really confused( dimag ki ghanti baj
gai thi yaar kuch bhi nahi samjh me aa raha tha , jitne
experiments kar sakta tha kar liye but kuch bhi nahi hua ab
to lag raha tha ki bhagawan hi malik hai ) and the next five
question were like
Prem Chandra was a _______ poet , he has written several
______ with his title and still lots of them _______.
In these question I shooted lots of arrows ( I hope some of
them might hit the target )
Next 5 question were like Heat: temperature::
_______:_______ I m sure that I haven’t answered more then 2
correctly .
And the last five question were based on a passage ( I say
to me that ,”yaar agar English ki sectional cut off cross
karma hai to kuch bhikar ke ye sare question thik karne hi
padenge” ) I read the passage twice and I m sure that I must
have answered all the question right .
Two mins were still there , I tried to keep myself calm but
I was really frustrated .
Next section was Maths no problem for me at all ..I was
quite frustrated coz of mine English section that’s why I
was even unable to remember the table of 18 in one of
question I have to find 18 * 9 nothing came in to mind at
that time every thing was like ??????? then I done 180-18 to
calculate it again was even unable to subtract I said oh god
…what is happening today . Then after a min I regained my
senses and I have done 16 question 100% correct in just 10
or 11 odd mins. Question were very simple like
1)A can do a work in 31 days and B can do the same work in 8
days ,A alone started the work after few days he was joined
by B , and the work completed in 10 days . After how many
days A is been joined by B.
2)In an election between 2 candidate one have got 53% votes
and won by 1057 votes , how many votes were there ?
3)A spent 3589 Rs. In first four months and 5216 Rs. In next
eight months , if he saves 2368 Rs per month then what is
his salary ?
4)A man sells a bike and a cow in 14000 Rs. , by selling his
bike he loses 20% and gained 20% in selling his cow , if the
total profit was 200 Rs. Then what was the cost price of
cow?
5)Two no. are in 2:3 ratio if the three fifth of the first
number is added to two third of the second no then the new
ratio will be ?
6)The cp a ltrs of milk is 12 rs , a milk man purchases
20lts of milk and wants to earn 200Rs. in the transaction if
he sells 20 ltrs of milk then how much water will be the sp
of a ltr milk….(too simple its not allegation)
And simple problem on ages, allegation , time and distance
etc.
Next Section was reasoning is was avg. not too easy not too
tough , an average person can do almost 65% of the question
and rest of the question were quite tough ,question were
like ,
A, B, C, D, and E were 3 guys and 2 girls , each one have
the b'day in Jan, Feb,…may;
Each one of them like sweets, ice cream….etc.
Note : verbal as well as non verbal reasoning was there .(
don’t worry it was easy )
Now It’s the time for the Technical Section which was the
last section of the paper :
Most of the question were based on the C output and rest of
the question were from networking , Computer Architecture ,
Operating System. Question were like:
1)which is the fastest : FTP ,TELNET ,TCP, etc.
2)output:
main(){
int x=20 ,y=35;
x= x++ + y++;
y = ++x + ++y;
printf(“%d %d”,x,y);
}
3)char *p[]=”rachit and devender”;
printf(“%C”,++(p[4]));
4)const char *p[]=”abhishek and Ankur”;
char k=’a’;
p[1]=k;
printf(“%s”,p);
5)main(){
extern int i;
i=5;
printf(“%d”,i);
}
6) main(){
int i,j=2;
if(i%j !=0)
j=5;
printf(“%d”,j);
}
For what values if i the output will be 5 : options 1)when i
is even 2) odd 3)prime 4) fro all
7)complexity of merge sort .?
8)which sorting also will use to sort {1,2,3,4,5} ?
9)which cpu register holds the address of next instruction?
10)Main(){
Char *p[]=”pradeep mani”;
Printf(“%c%c%c%c”,p[i],i[p],(*p+1),*(p+1));
}
11) select * from dual ; output..??
12) we cant typedef (i) pointers (ii) function (iii) double
(iv) I and II both
above are some of the question which are been asked in the
4th section of the Aptitude test.

time our heart was beating at full speed ..30 mins seems to

have gave us a form to fill up , it’s a general details

u the truth , my dream company is Google” , then she asked
my why Google , I was well prepared for that question I said
, “ God is with them who have the courage to fly , not with
them who stand on the ground and watch the sky “ ,then wla

4)Then why zensar ? “One of the greatest victories you can
gain over someone is to beat him at politeness “ , that’s
what I have done at done time 5)Where do you see yourself

And that’s it , finally me and three friends of mine were
selected in the ZENSAR .

“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet
voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again
tomorrow.”
So if you are not selected don’t worry coz “after every sad
day there comes the glad day”
