ADP PATTERN & INTERVIEW - 18 JUN 2006

Hai Friends

I've attended ADP WALK-IN (Consistent 70% is the cutoff) on 18th JUNE-2006. The reporting time is 10am. I reached the center by 9:50am. But there are already 3000+ aspirants. So my advice is to reach center (especially in case of Wilkins) 1-2hrs prior.

-->1st round they adopted to filter out such huge number of students is : English Fluency test in which HR's will asks you some questions like- Introduce ur self, What's ur project is all about, Whats ur role in that project, Stengths & Weeknesses....etc In this round they selected 800 exactly out of those 4000+ .

-->All these 800 are sent to written test rooms ( 8rooms each of 100 seating). Written test is for 1:30 mints which comprises of
1) QUANTITATIVE (Arithmetic...mainly from RS.AGARWAL),
2) VERBAL (corect use of grammar, GRE words..etc),
3) Simple C programs and theory questions on C (for eg: Whats the specific use of EXTERN INT in C )
4) Lengthy C Programmes (You need a serious preparation to attempt this section, that much tough are those programs)

In this round they selected only 150-200 students out of those 800.

--> third round I faced was HR. In this HR will asks some questions about ur family background, and some metal testing questions like : "What will you do if ur higher authority person would do SEX HARASSMENT with ur one of the colleague? " And they will mainly see the discipline, obediance ...etc.

--> Finally 100 people are sent for final interview (TR+HR). It is mainly Technical Round only where in which you are going to face questions like :
1)How do you define CONSTANT in C?
2)Define VARIABLE?
3)Function calling procedures? and their differences? Why should one go for Call by Refrnce?
4)Difference btwn STRUCTURE and UNION?
5) Whats the specail use of UNIONS?
6)What is a pointer? What is meant by recursion?
7)Can you write a programme for FACTORIAL using recursion?
8)What is LINKED LIST? How can you access the last element in a linked list?

You need a thorough preparation to get through this round, becaz their requirement is 3-5. Thats all.  SO you should be outstanding to deserve that job. I failed to get through this round, just becaz of FOOTBALL match on previous night. Otherwise I might've revised all these C concepts. So my advice is CAREER first all are secondary.

Hope I provided useful information to you. The reason to give this matter to you all is : Fron 15th to 17th(one day before to commencement of that walkin) I searched almost all sites to get ADP's previous papers. But I failed to get them. So ....I dont want to let you to face such problems..... Ok naa...All the best for ur career. If you have any doubts, Contact me at umannam@gmail.com
