Company: ALCATEL

Alcatel test on 29th of sep. at gurgaon
office. the pattern was as follows –

1) c: 10 marks for 10 questions. very basic we have to write
output of programs. so do practice basic programs.

2) c++: 10 marks for 10 questions. inheritance, recursion and
arrays are covered. again basic questions

3) apti: 20 marks for 20 questions. all verbal reasoning,
very easy.

the main problem was time which was 45 min. u must be toooo
fast. cut off is 50% in each section.

they said that we will call u if u got selected.

one of my friend has gone through selection process at ALCATEL Gurgaon for fresher post. this is all about the pattern he told me –

there are four rounds :-

1) written test :- test consist of c,c++ and aptitude. he doesn’t remember the exact no. of question and time limit. he told me that the emphasis was on the questions of pointers in c and simple terms like inheritance was there for c++, in aptitude we have coding-encoding and figure problems. that’s all 4 test. no O.S, D.S or networks.

2) tech. :- second was technical round. only 5 out of 15 were selected for this round. This round was quite tough and my friend couldn’t clear this round. they ask abt database connectivity in c to him. which he was not able to answer.

rest 2 rounds were tech. again and h.r. these rounds are quite simple as told by others to him.

Those who applied for Alcatel – this
will be useful.The Recruitment process will be like
this..

Regarding Test:

1) Apps test:

Diagramatic
reasoning is more. then filling number in a square
box, profit loss,
