- Q2. If experienced , then project details of previous companies a must prepare question
- Q3. Writing test cases for random scenarios
- Ans.
Creating test cases for random scenarios ensures software reliability and robustness through diverse input validation.
Identify edge cases: Test with minimum and maximum input values, e.g., an empty array vs. a large array.
Use random data: Generate random inputs to simulate real-world usage, e.g., random user names or passwords.
Test invalid inputs: Ensure the system handles unexpected inputs gracefully, e.g., negative n...

(3 Questions)
Round duration - 60 minutes
Round difficulty - Easy
Technical interview round with questions based on DSA and OOPS.
- Q1. How do you dynamically allocate a 2D array in C?
- Q2. What are virtual functions in C++?
- Ans.
Virtual functions in C++ are functions that can be overridden in derived classes, allowing for polymorphic behavior.
Virtual functions are declared using the 'virtual' keyword in the base class.
They are used to achieve runtime polymorphism in C++.
Derived classes can override the virtual functions defined in the base class.
Example: class Base { public: virtual void display() { cout << 'Base class dis...

Technical interview round with questions based on OS/Networking etc.
- Q1. What is the system call that creates a separate connection?
- Ans.
The system call that creates a separate connection is fork()
fork() is a system call in Unix-like operating systems that creates a new process by duplicating the existing process
The new process created by fork() is called the child process, while the original process is called the parent process
fork() is commonly used in network programming to create separate connections for handling multiple clients
- Q2. What does the epoll_wait() system call do?
- Ans.
epoll_wait() system call waits for events on an epoll instance
Used in Linux for I/O event notification
Blocks until one or more file descriptors become ready
Returns the number of file descriptors ready for I/O operations
- Q3. What are the different protocols used in the transport layer?
- Q4. What is the difference between TCP and UDP?
- Ans.
TCP is a connection-oriented protocol that ensures reliable data delivery, while UDP is a connectionless protocol that focuses on speed.
TCP is reliable and ensures data delivery by establishing a connection before sending data.
UDP is faster but less reliable as it does not establish a connection before sending data.
TCP is used for applications that require high reliability and error correction, such as web browsing and...

- Q1. What is the purpose of ICMP?
- Ans.
ICMP is a protocol used for error reporting, diagnostics, and network management in IP networks.
ICMP is used to report errors in packet delivery
It is used for network diagnostics and troubleshooting
ICMP messages are encapsulated within IP packets
Examples include ping (echo request/reply) and traceroute
- Q2. What are the types of connection release supported by TCP?
- Ans.
TCP supports four types of connection release: active close, passive close, simultaneous close, and abortive close.
Active close: Client initiates the connection release process by sending a FIN packet.
Passive close: Server initiates the connection release process by sending a FIN packet.
Simultaneous close: Both client and server send FIN packets to each other simultaneously.
Abortive close: Connection is terminated abru...
- Q3. What protocols are used by the MAC layer?
- Ans.
The MAC layer uses protocols like CSMA/CA, CSMA/CD, and TDMA to manage access to the network.
CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) is used in wireless networks to avoid collisions.
CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) is used in wired networks to detect and handle collisions.
TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) is used in networks where devices are assigned specific...

Workday HR Interview Questions
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: I had a standard resume for this company as per the norms of our institute’s placement cell. For Oracle I laid emphasis on my programming skills and projects related to it.
Round: Test
Experience: The first round was the written test that comprised of 5 sections – vocabulary, aptitude, pattern matching, logical reasoning and programming. The questions in the programming section were asked from data structures and C++. The questions in the programming section were mainly from trees (from data structures). Around 400 students appeared for their written test out of which around 100 were shortlisted.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The next round was the interview round. They gave me some puzzles to solve and a program to write. One of the puzzles that I remember was that if I were to be given an egg then how would I determine its durability, i.e. how would I determine that from which floor do I need to throw the egg from so that the egg does not break if thrown from any floor below it.
For the coding question I was given a mathematical formula and I was asked to devise a code such that the program uses the formula and gives the output.
Tips: Prepare for Data Structures as well as the commonly asked puzzles for Oracle.
College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Oracle is a reputed company in the space of software and ITeS. It had come to our campus with five profiles. The best means to know about all of them is to attend the pre-placement talk of the company.
I applied via Referral
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: I appeared for Amdocs through Campus Recruitment Process. Section 1,2,3 was not tough, if you have practiced RD Sharma then don't worry about these sections as it was the easiest part of the written test. After that there were two coding questions in which you can choose any language(C/C++/Java) to write your code. The code were easy, I mean it wasn't like Codechef problems. If you have ever made the programming assignments by yourself then you would definitely be able to crack this section. Even if you didn't make it then you can practice coding questions like finding H.C.F, L.C.M, Removing redundant number from array, finding whether the string is palindrome or not, finding whether the number is Armstrong number or not,etc,. Now comes the technical section that was little bit tough for those who haven't studied about UNIX ever. It was consisting of C, DBMS and Unix. C questions can easily be attempt by completing "Test your C Skills by Yashwant Kanedtkar", In DBMS most of the questions were query based, some PL/SQL questions were also there, in Unix most of the questions were from VI editor commands and some linux commands like sed, uniq, fdisk and very few questions were from shell scripting like, what will be the output of echo*. Overall the test was easy, since it is easy for everyone so you need to do lots of practice because out of more than 200 students only 39 cleared the written test in our campus.
