L and T Infotech Sample Solved Paper - L and T Infotech Sample Paper 2011

L&T infotech Placement Paper and Sample Paper


1) What is a smith chart used for

2) How is impedance matching done and why do we need it (basically can talk about ideal power supply needing a low internal resistance and high load to function properly. so one stage of transistor amplifier has to have low o/p resistance and high i/p resistance for next stage- do look up all basic electronics) ( also about sinking high currents without damage)

3) Name all flipflops u know and working esp. master slave.

4) C programming - program to find how many 1's are present in an integer variable using bitwise operators. something about dynamic allocation, static functions, macros

5) c++ virtual functions

6) what types of control r there

7) QPSK

8) Though i did mention that i was most comfortable with digital systems, microprocessors, i was asked only one or 2 questions on this topic like what is program counter, stack operation, etc.

9) A lot about final year project.

10) All electives, and subjects mentioned in CV.

11) CV as in most companies, is inspected very carefully during interview. so be careful what u put there lest they ask u something u are not prepared for.

i am sorry i cant remember any other questions but i hope this gives u atleast a rough idea about what subjects to cover.

also ur written test marks are very important. the order in which they call the people also indicates where u stand so try and

compensate by doing well in interview if ur name is towards the end of the list. u would improve ur chances i believe.

hr interview was only for around 10 minutes, they call if u have cleared tech interview. they asked about what i had been doing for the past 6 months, my plans, how L&T would help me. why L&T etc. the proceedure in mumbai however was totally different I think. they had GD, and HR interview i hear was gruelling. ur GK(number of states in our country, number of lady CMs in India,etc.)

is tested thoroughly. The form that u are given to fill before the interview, is reqiured to be filled in your neatest handwriting I really think this is imp.) and do take a lot of trouble to write things that would put u in good light. lots of luck to all u chennai people trying for L&T Infotech. Though they have a 2 year bond, this company is really worth going for. Do hope this information helps you a bit.


THE PAPER IS IN TWO PARTS iN THE FIRST ONE THERE ARE 40 QUESTIONS OF VISUAL REASONING AND IN SECOND THERE ARE 50 QUESTIONS FROM MISCELLANEOUS 30,40 TOPICS Question paper is here:

Part 1:-> Psychometric test.

Easiest thing in the world. Eight figures with you having to predict the ninth. Just use some common sense and u r thru this test. A WORD OF CAUTION tho; plz. do not waste time on a question if u r not sure ,just come back later n then do it. (36questions- 40minutes.)

Part 2:-> Engineering syllabus based Technical Test

Some of the questions r a s follows:-

a) What is reverse engineering.

b) Octal of some binary number(comes to 165 in decimal after conversion).

c) A cobol prog with an integer array(I guess coz i did not have Cobol in my syllabus).

d) A problem on Depth first search(very simple).

e) Question on Grammar's frm Theory of computer science.

f) Something like Select the correct option when A Subset of(B Subset of(A Intersection B).if B is completely contained by A.

g) A question on memory(quite simple).

h) A couyple of questions on C(one on pointers).

We were given the topic "Do u think women make better managers?"A debatable topic , but we merely agreed with each other and no big problem with it.

8. There are two lists of integers to be merged. Which method would you not use?

9. In an online database system when is data written to disk? (on pressing enter, when commit

or update is encountered, at end of data, all of the above) (was clueless! )

10. Small prolog function which prints 2345true. You need to tell output.

11. Convert this binary into octal. 010 100 101

Directions for Questions 11 to 15 The passage given below is followed by a set of five questions. Choose the most appropriate answer to each question.

When I was little, children were bought two kinds of ice cream, sold from those white wagons with the canopies made of silvery metal: either the two-cent cone or the four-cent ice cream pie. The two-cent cone was very small, in fact it could fit comfortably into a child's hand, and it was made by taking the ice cream from its container with a special scoop and piling it on the cone. Granny always suggested I eat only a part of the cone, then throw away the pointed end, because it had been touched by the vendor's hand (though that was the best part, nice and crunchy, and it was regularly eaten in secret, after a pretense of discarding it).

The four-cent pie was made by a special little machine, also silvery, which pressed two disks of sweet biscuit against a cylindrical section of ice cream. First you had to thrust your tongue into the gap between the biscuits until it touched the central nucleus of ice cream; then, gradually, you ate the whole thing, the biscuit surfaces softening as they became soaked in creamy nectar. Granny had no advice to give here: in theory the pies had been touched only by the machine; in practice, the vendor had held them against his hand while giving them to us, but it was impossible to isolate the contaminated area.

I was fascinated, however, by some of my peers, whose parents bought them not a four-cent pie but two two-cent cones. These privileged children advanced proudly with one cone in their right hand and one in their left; and expertly moving their head from side to side, they licked first one, then the other. This liturgy seemed to me so sumptuously enviable, that many times I asked to be allowed to celebrate it. In vain. My elders were inflexible: a four-cent ice, yes; but two two-cent ones, absolutely no.

As anyone can see, neither mathematics nor economy nor dietetics justified this refusal. Nor did hygiene, assuming that in due course the tips of both cones were discarded. The pathetic, and obviously mendacious, justification was that a boy concerned with turning his eyes from one cone to the other was more inclined to stumble over stones, steps, or cracks in the pavement. I dimly sensed that there was another secret justification, cruelly pedagogical, but I was unable to grasp it.

Today, citizen and victim of a consumer society, a civilization of excess and waste (which the society of the thirties was not), I realize that those dear and now departed elders were right. Two two-cent cones instead of one at four cents did not signify squandering, economically speaking, but symbolically they surely did. It was for this precise reason, that I yearned for them: because two ice creams suggested excess. And this was precisely why they were denied me: because they looked indecent, an insult to poverty, a display of fictitious privilege, a boast of wealth. Only spoiled children ate two cones at once, those children who in fairy tales were rightly punished, as Pinocchio was when he rejected the skin and the stalk. And parents who encouraged this weakness, appropriate to little parvenus, were bringing up their children in the foolish theater of "I'd like to but I can't." They were preparing them to turn up at tourist-class cheek-in with a fake Gucci bag bought from a street peddler on the beach at Rimini.

Nowadays the moralist risks seeming at odds with morality, in a world where the consumer civilization now wants even adults to be spoiled, and promises them always something more, from the wristwatch in the box of detergent to the bonus bangle sheathed, with the magazine it accompanies, in a plastic envelope. Like the parents of those ambidextrous gluttons I so envied, the consumer civilization pretends to give more, but actually gives, for four cents, what is worth four cents. You will throw away the old transistor radio to purchase the new one, that boasts an alarm clock as well, but some inexplicable defect in the mechanism will guarantee that the radio lasts only a year. The new cheap car will have leather seats, double side mirrors adjustable from inside, and a paneled dashboard, but it will not last nearly so long as the glorious old Fiat 500, which, even when it broke down, could be started again with a kick.

The morality of the old days made Spartans of us all, while today's morality wants all of us to be Sybarites.

A. Today's society is more extravagant than the society of the 1930s.
B. The act of eating two ice cream cones in akin to a ceremonial process.
