### CARITOR PAPER - SRM COLLEGE

Hi Friends

Caritor (IT SOLUTIONS) has visited SRM today. Nearly 400 students          appeared for the test and the test went on till 4:30 p.m. The test is of          on-line type and it consists of two sections, I'll list them in detail          later. Please note down ur serial no., ur batch & time of test from the          xl chart sent by the placement officer. You'll have to log on to ur          screen & enter some preliminary details. Then u can proceed to either of          the following two sections first...though both of them are mandatory.          When in a section, you can answer questions in any order and re-check          the results (unlike GRE). An automatic clock will be running for 30 mts          for each section.When done, u can 'exit the test' and go to the next          section. PLEASE DO NOT CLICK ON "LOG OFF" BEFORE YOU FINISH THE ENTIRE          TEST!

1. Aptitude (GRE pattern -- verbal + math)
30 Questions in 30 mts -- you'll have to be really fast!
Verbal was manageable it seems and for maths, pl. refer RS Aggarwal.
Key areas in math -- Permutation-Combination; Trigonometry
Get the questions from ur friends in the previous batches...these tend          to repeat.

2. Technical Section: (C or C++)
30 Questions in 30 mts.
key areas in C --> POINTERS, Looping, general input-output fns and          dynamic memory allocation (malloc (); calloc() )
sample quesion: for (i=1; i=3; i++) { <body of the loop } -- how many          times will the loop get executed ? Ans: JUST ONCE (i.e. when i = 3)

C++ key areas --> OOPS concepts in and out
Constructors-destructors; dynamic binding; polymorphism; inheritance          virtual functionsetc.

Suggestion: If u're strong enuf in pointers, u might consider C; else if          u're confident b't ALL the OOPS concepts, u'd want C++.

There'd be a GD session after the test results are out. The test results          in SRM are expected by tomm morning. GD topics they heard of were:
1. BEAUTY PAEGENT -- is it essential ??
2. BRAIN DRAIN -- be careful with this one!!

PLEASE BRING A PAPER COPY OF RESUME, A PASSPORT SIZE PHOTOGRAPH AND UR          MARKSHEETS (atleast the photo copies -- just in case).
