With
the booming economy of India and resultant boom in job-market, many
Indian websites have come up offering services from Resume-preparation
to Interview- guides. Among them, many of the sites offer Placement
Papers of the Recruitments conducted by the top most companies of India.
The intention of this post is to give you the links to these websites, which offers the Placement Papers, specially of the Written Test – both Aptitude Test & Technical Test. In most of these websites you would find however, that the presentation of the Questions is not that high – you need to use it with a pint of salt and should it only as an exposure to what type of questions are asked.
The first site which needs mention is FreshersWorld:
You can find the placement papers in following link:
http://www.freshersworld.com/placementweek/papers.asp
Another site, almost synonymous with above site is FreshersHome:

Group Discussion for Jobs |
|
|
December 07, 2007
|
|
Group Discussion happens to be the most widely used screening tool used
by recruiters in the selection process, as it enables them to judge the
personality of 8-10 individuals relative to one another and in the least
time.
The format of the discussion is universal:
You and rest of your group are given a topic to discuss for about 15-30
minutes, within which you are supposed to speak out your thoughts on the
topic. They sit around to see how you and the group as a whole carried
on the discussion.
You get positive points for following:
1.0 Teamwork:
Since post-selection you are supposed to work in an organization with
your colleagues, subordinates and superiors as a team, you are expected
to be a team player. In the GD therefore, you need to show this
capability by sharing the time given by recruiter and your knowledge
with the rest of your group members, even helping the group members when
the need arises.
2.0 Communication:
You need not be a eloquent speaker but you should be able to speak out your mind clearly so that other people understands.
3.0 Initiative and Leadership capabilities:
Where possible, try to show leadership capability by initiating the
discussion, by encouraging the other members to speak and also by
preventing the “GD” from becoming a “Debate”. A GD is a discussion among
a group of individuals on a common topic, for a ultimate common purpose
and the leader of the group is expected to direct the GD in this
direction.However, if you can not show the Leadership capabilities for
lack of chances, just be a team player!
4.0 Knowledge on the particular subject:
Although this is important, it is not a must to have a thorough
knowledge on the topic even prior to the GD. If you do not know much
about the topic, chose to speak towards the middle of the time allotted
for the GD. In the meanwhile, listen to others and gather knowledge, so
that you can speak out later.
Many individuals, in their urge to show their Leadership capabilities,
try to dominate the group for which they get the most negative points.
Any words or actions that disturb or destroy a group activity (e.g.
criticizing others negatively) get negative points. Even if you disagree
strongly with the view points of a fellow member, use milder words such
as: “Although I appreciate Mr. X's view point, I chose to differ as …” instead of saying “I think Mr. X is wrong…”
Your actual activity for the GD should in fact start much earlier, before entering the GD room. Read this story on how I did it 15 years back. Also remember, every member of your particular group may be selected! Yes, recruiter does not decides that only "this number" of member would be selected when the GD is initiated. So enjoy your GD!
How can you prepare for the GD:
It is only through practice through mock-GD’s.
For this, gather together 5 to 10 of your friends, ask one/two of them
to be the observer (i.e. mock-recruiters) and rest of you as group
members.
Ask the observers to initiate the GD by naming the topic from these
sample topics (or any other topic you think fit) and the time frame (say
20 minutes). Begin the GD and after completion, ask for the feedback
from the observers. Improve upon yourselves from these feedbacks.
Try to organize such mock-GD’s on periodic intervals (say every
weekend/fortnight etc.) for at least 5/6 mock-GD’s and by this time you
should be thoroughly prepared.
I am giving below a video of a mock-GD carried out by students of ICFAI just to give you an idea on how to go ahead!
While preparing for your GD, you must know what are different types of
GD topics. You can find the types of GD topics (Factual type GD topic,
Controversial type GD topic, Abstract type GD topics, Case Study
type GD topic) with examples in my blog post: Types of Group Discussion Topics.
Have you ever conducted any mock-GD amng your friends in your institute?
If yes, I would love to know about it : How it was conducted, how many
people participated and what were the reactions.

Technical test (written) |
|
|
December 11, 2007
|

Technical written test is quite different from the “Aptitude Test” which is commonly called as “Written test”.
While in Aptitude Test questions asked are general in nature (Verbal,
Quantitative & Logical) and is common to all candidates, recruiters
(mostly IT companies) sets this round to test the knowledge on specific
domains, such as C, C++, Java, ASP, SQL, Networking etc. The questions
sets also differs from branch to branch and is mostly for engineering
students.
As the pattern varies from
recruiter to recruiter and also from branch to branch, it is not
possible to give you an universal test pattern. However just to give you
an idea, about 30 questions are asked, which you need to answer in
about an hour.
How to clear Technical Test?
The answer is: only through practice! You can practice the previous years question papers of specific recruiters, links of which you would find in Written Test Links of section Discover yourself. Also following books have been recommended to increase your test preparedness domain-wise.

Written Aptitude Test for Jobs |
|
|
December 15, 2007
|
|
Written test (whether "pen-paper" or "online")
happens to be the most common of all the selection tests used by the
recruiters. In fact, it happens to be the first obstacle, put by a
recruiter before candidates in their quest for the job. The other phases
of the selection process like GD/interview follows for only those who
qualify the Written Test.
So how to clear this first obstacle?
The answer is: only through practice! You can practice through these recommended books and also by practicing the previous years question papers of specific recruiters, links of which you would find in Written Test Links of section Discover yourself.
Written tests in most of the recruitment exams consist of following four test sections:
1.0 Test of General Awareness.
2.0 Test of General English.
3.0 Test of Quantitative Aptitude.
4.0 Test of Reasoning Ability.
If
you study and master above four test sections, you can appear in any
exam and come out with flying colours - it may be a bank recruitment
exam (for Probationary Officers or Clerks), a PSU recruitment exam (such
as SAIL/GAIL/BHEL/ONGC etc.), a management entrance exam (such as
MAT/CAT).
All these exams invariably
contains atleast one of above four aptitude test sections. To illustrate
this, I am showing below the written exam pattern of some popular exams
below:
Pattern of SBI PO exam:
Pattern of SBI Clerical written exam:
Written test will consists of Objective type questions in following five papers:
1.0 General Awareness.
2.0 General English.
3.0 Quantitative Aptitude.
4.0 Reasoning Ability.
5.0 Marketing Aptitude / Computer Knowledge.
SSC CPO (Central Police Organisation) exam pattern:
Management Aptitude Test (MAT) exam pattern:
MAT is a 2hr-30min test with following five sections, each of 40 marks:
1. Language Comprehension: 40 Questions, 30 mins.
2. Mathematical Skills : 40 Questions, 40 mins.
3. Data Analysis and Sufficiency: 40 Questions, 35 mins.
4. Intelligence and Critical Reasoning: 40 Questions, 30 mins.
5. Indian and Global Environment: 40 Questions, 15 mins.
All the questions are multiple-choice objective type questions.
So as you can find from
above exam patterns, written aptitude test is almost universal. So what
you should do is prepare for these tests section by section: first study
for Test of General Awareness, than study for Test of General English and so on and so forth.
If you study and master
above four test sections, I give you 200% confirmation that you can do
well in the written aptitude tests of competitive recruitment exams.
In addition to above Written
Test, some recruiters also conduct “Technical Test” for the engineering
students, depending on the branch/departments to which a student
belongs. This is being discussed in the next post.
What sort of questions are asked?
To
give you some idea, following are some example of questions asked by
recruiters in different sections. Can you help me with some more
examples? You can post these examples by posting as comments by clicking
“Post a Comment” link at the bottommost part of this post.
Verbal section:

6.0 Reading Comprehension:
Example:
Line
1. A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey
shows that strange animal behavior might help predict earthquakes.
Investigators found such occurrences within a ten-kilometer radius of
the epicenter of a fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew
about wildly; dogs yelped and ran around uncontrollably. Line 5.
Scientists believe that animals can perceive environmental changes
several hours or even days before the mishaps. Animals were noted as
being restless for several weeks before a Tashkent, Uzbekistan,
earthquake. An hour before the disaster, domestic animals refused to go
indoors and dogs howled and barked furiously. In 1960, an earthquake
struck Agadir in Morocco. Survivors recall that stray animals, including
dogs, were seen streaming out of town before the earthquake. In a
safari zoo near San Francisco, llamas would not eat the evening before a
1979 quake, and they ran around wildly all night. Line 12. Unusual
animal behavior preceding earthquakes has been noted for centuries.
British Admiral Robert Fitzroy reported huge flocks of screaming
seabirds over Conception, Chile, in 1835. An hour and half later, dogs
were seen fleeing, and ten minutes later the town was destroyed. Similar
stories of chickens running around in apparent states of panic, horses
trembling and dogs barking incessantly were recorded throughout the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by survivors of earthquake
destruction in India, Yugoslavia, Peru, Mexico and the Unites States.
Line 18. In 1976, after monitoring bizarre animal behavior, the Chinese
predicted a devastating earthquake. Although hundreds of thousand of
people were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions of
others people and thus keep the death toll at a lower level.
Q:What prediction may be made by observing animal behavior?
a. An impending earthquake
b. The number of people who will die
c. The ten-kilometer radium from the epicenter
d. The fact that an earthquake has occurred.
Ans: a).
Quantitative section:
1.0 Questions involving Venn diagram.
Example:
If in a class 80 people speak English, 42 speak French, 65 speak Hindi,
12 speak both English and Hindi, 17 speak both French and Hindi, 13
speak both English and French and 6 speak all three languages, how many
people are there in all?
Ans: 133 people as shown from following diagram:
2.0 Time and Distance
Example:
A truck departed from Newton at 11:53a.m. and arrived in Far City, 240
miles away, at 4:41 p.m. on the same day. What was the approximate
average speed of the truck on this trip?
a. 16/1,200 MPH
b. 40/288 MPH
c. 1,494/240 MPH
d. 50 MPH
Ans: d.
Distance: 240 Miles. Time: 4 hr & 48 mins = 4.8 hrs. (48 mins=48/60hrs=0.8 hr).
Average speed: 240/4.8 = 50 MPH
3.0 Problems on ratio/percentages:
Example: If the ratio of women to men in a meeting is 4 to 1, what percent of the persons in the meeting are men?
a. 20%
b. 25%
c. 33 1/3%
d. 80%

15), and (2x + 30), what is the measure of each angle?
a. 75
b. 60
c. 45
d. 25
Ans: b. 60
Sum of all angles in triangle=180. Therefore, 3x + 15 + 5x – 15 + 2x + 30 = 180, x= 15.
With x=15, measure of the angles, say 3x + 15 = 60. Check same for others.
5.0 Ratios :
Example:
A and B undertake to do a work for Rs.56. A can do it alone in 7 days
and B in 8 days. If with the assistance of a boy they finish the work in

Resume writing |

December 20, 2007

This one line question demands a million line to answer. To find an answer these days, the easiest one is to “Google” your query, so I googled “Write best resume”
The search result showed me over “3,81,000” results…. I was confused!If you had taken my route, you would have been confused too! But have patience, I am presenting you in a nutshell how to write a Good resume, so that you can take off on your journey immediately! Once you make your first resume, you can always improve upon it. If you are already a pro in making resume, click here to discover more resources in the “Discover Yourself” section.
What is a resume?
A resume is a document containing a summary or listing of relevant job experience and education (with or without an accompanying cover letter), naturally for the purpose of IMPRESSING someone (in your case, a recruiter!). It is akin to the leaflet of a seminar… if the leaflet is presented well, you are tempted to go and attend the seminar. Similarly, if the resume is written well, employer is tempted to call you for selection process.
It is in short form – a document to show the “Best that you are” in the “Best possible way” so that you can get that “Best Job”.
If you are a fresher (wanting that always elusive first job), to show the “Best that you are” is the most difficult one and is the core problem, the solution of which you want by that question “How can I write the best resume?”
But its answer is very simple:
To write a good resume, if you have time still, than build up the best in you, even before the time to present your resume:
Study properly to get good grade to show off, do at least one good project based on which maximum questions are asked to a fresher in during interview, be members of student forums - which shows the social animal in you and participate in contest among students - quiz, debate, sports & games etc., to show how talented and energetic you were while studying … all of this would actually form the content of your resume later when time comes to prepare it!
But what if you have already passed out or on the threshold of passing out, without having the time to develop those resume contents? Well, you need to mask yourself intelligently….say, if you have never played sports and games and you state in your resume that you were the best athlete in your college, you must naturally know at what time you ran that 100 meters! Mind it, I am not teaching you here how to lie…but….
With these inputs, lets go ahead to see what is a “Good Resume”… it is a resume sent by one of the student for my comments – his name is Sanjay Majumder. We would learn by examples by going through this resume
