ARICENT INTERVIEW ON 17th JULY
The Tech interview-
Here they mostly check for your ability to code and your knowledge in
networks.You need to be extremely confidant and be well versed in C or C++.
Your marks in C or C++ in written test plays a important role.Several of
whom i know performed not that well in interview but had very good marks in
that section.
Aricent written test mainly concentrates on your C strength.
Regarding the interview they mostly ask these type of questions
They will definitely ask u from ur area of interest.
if u have choosen os
Then read
-paging
-memory management
-process scheduling
-dead lock
-process synchronization
again from data structures
*linked list----very important.. they mostly ask u to insert and delete a
node from a singly or doubly linked list...This they ask u even if ur area
of interest is not DS
Trees also binary tree...
read all the sorting algorithms...
from networks
osi layer
role of each layer
protocols in each layer
HTTP
DHCP
*Router and a switch-Router works on network and switch on data link layer
Gateway...which layer does it work on..mostly all seven layers
gateway and firewall
Basics of networks is a must with out which its very difficult..
Then next is c programmin
They mostly ask u to code the linked list..
other things tat they often ask is string manipulation programs
like strcat,strlen,strcmp....
u have to write code to perform tat...
they also asked the different types of variables in c--external,static,local
,global...
Thats all..
Well aricent there is no standard tat they choose a particular question
always. mostly in chennai these are the possible questions....They are not
exhaustive..Usually some interviewers ask questions from all the subjects
thats a rare chance..
Remember with out basic networks and basic C knowledge its really difficult
to clear aricent....
