Test Paper :4 : Whole Testpaper

Test Date : 12 January 2010 Test Location : SGSITS, Indore Posted By : Abinav

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).

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 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. 3. problems to be solved using Venn diagrams. This test was to check our adaptation to the computer screen.We had to paper has a time slot . u can take a

4.

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

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).

Hi Friends, First of all. I would like to thank placementweek for providing this platform for the people like us and to all my those friends who had posted their experience through this platform.

I have appeared for the Amdocs written in August 2010 and found their procedure lengthy but easy. Actually paper was taken by meritrac(A aptitude paper taking agency) meritrac had taken 6 papers. Those were: 1. Analytical ability 2. Attention to detail 3. Technical Passage 4. C/C++/JAVA 5. SQL 6. Unix And Result was declared after the week and I found myself in for interview and start reading the above languages. After gap of 2 week we have the interview at the same place where we had given our written exam and on that very day. There was 2 interview: 1. Technical interview 2. HR interview Technical interview: Interviewer: Tell me about yourself? Me: Said about me Interviewer: Asked something about my family? Me: Told Interviewer: Asked me to draw the table as well as the interfaces of the project on the paper. Me: Done Interviewer: Asked about application of structure in college? Me: Told Interviewer: Asked sql intersection and average function? Me: Told Interviewer: Asked about my favourite subject? Me: DBMS Interviewer: Asked about normalization And made some table and asked me to find out how these are related? Me: Told Interviewer: Asked do you have any question? Me: Sir what type of the work we have to do in amdocs? Interviewer: Told all for around 10 minutes Result came I was in for HR and I was 70% sure about my success in tech interview. HR gave us kind of pre placement talk and asked us whether anyone of us have any problem going to abroad? Or further plan for studies? We said no And he told us about our package 3.50 lacks(Marvelous package for fresher). And after

this ppt There started my Intrview with HR: HR: Achievements? Me: Told HR: What you do in your leisure time? Me: Internet surfing HR: No it can't be Me: Drive my car, he again said no any other go on long drive HR: Strength and weakness? How? Me: Told HR: What you want to do in life, what you hadnt done in your life till now? Me: Told, want to gain the job HR: Asked to submit documents (photocopies of our marksheets from 10 to degree and one passport size photograph) Waited for the result for about 12 days and got the mail with joining date and joining place in the same mail(Offer letter from amdocs) I had given 17 walkin out of which in 6 I hadnt cleared written even. But now got the Amdocs and wishes you all best of luck. See you in Amdocs

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 cant answer the question at all.

And I remember some questions among them

What is the value of sin ? n the statements are a. sincos=0 b. sin-cos=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. nnMMM@7.34 A. nnMMM@7.34 B.nnMMM@734 C. nnMMM@7.34

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. C

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 1997j is for jan, june,july 4. One question on pipes using tee

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

CORRECT

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. Regards, Jay NOIDA.

AMDOCS PAPER ON 2ND NOVEMBER AT PATIALA

Hello friendsI am Anish BatraI hv done MCA from Thapar University,Patiala..I wanna share my experience about Amdocs selection procedure.there were 150 students in the test and the only 14 cleared the test and out of them 10 were selectedn thanks to god my name was there in the list..Friends there was an online test of Amdocs for 2 hours conducted by merittrac.consists of 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 testbecause test is main hurdle there was no subsection cutoff and no negative markingbut overall sectional cutoff was there so u need to concentrate on both sections equallyto clear the unix just go through the book of

samitbha dasits a very good book for unix.n for sql that ivan bayross is sufficientn 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 interviewu 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 consistentlybecause to clear it u need good preparation

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.

Test Paper :15 : Whole Testpaper : 15 July 2008 : TSEC,MUMBAI : RAVIKANT

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 ur 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.....
