Mastek Placement Paper and Experience

Hi Friends,

I am Rajat Jain. When Campus Placement month started in our college, we were all very excited. I could not clear the test for first two companies but made it into the third company - Mastek.

They were recruiting the candidates after a series of test and interviews. The series was:

1. Written test - Aptitude, Verbal, C, Algorithm, RDBMS
2. GD
3. Technical + HR Interview.

The written test had 20 questions in each section which were not very difficult. Make sure that your C and RDBMS concepts are strong enough to face the tech interview.

The GD topic for our group was "Love Marriage or Arranged Marriage - which is better?" The topic was pretty interesting for all of us. Everybody could speak well.
The topic given to us was simple but the topic given to another group was tougher - "Building the road to Mt. Everest - Did China do a right thing?" It is important to read a lot of books and papers when you are preparing for GD. You need to have a good command over your language and ability to put your thoughts together quickly - this comes when you read.

GD was followed by Technical and HR interview. They were running short of time so Technical and HR interview was clubbed together. Some of the questionsI faced were:

1. Introduce yourself
2. Your strengths and weaknesses
3. RDBS - explain advatanges.
4. Some questions on C/ C++ concepts.
5. Why should we hire you?
6. What has been your greatest achievement?
7. Do you have any questions for us?

Guys, I just want to tell you that even if you have not been able to clear the interviews in some initial companies, don't get depressed. Prepare well and keep your confidence level high.

Best of luck
Rajat
