Deloitte campus drive experience:
Hi, I am M. Kalyan, a final year student from VNR VIGNANA JYOTHI INSTITUTE OF
ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY, Hyderabad. Deloitte visited our campus on
July 17th, 2013. We had written test on 17th and
interviews on 23rd.
Written test:
Around 400 students have taken written test and 72 were
shortlisted. Only CSE/IT/ECE/EEE people were eligible. It was an online test
conducted by AMCAT, an adaptive test with moderate difficulty level. Once you
answer a question you can’t come back. It was a 3 hr 10 min test (yes, very
long!!). There was no negative marking.
English-25 Questions, 25 minutes
Synonyms, Antonyms, Spotting error, Sentence completion by choosing appropriate
word, two passages were asked.
Quantitative ability-25 Questions, 35 minutes
Questions from Logarithms and powers, number system, time
and distance, time and work, averages, percentages, simple and compound
interest, permutations and combinations(2-3 questions), probability, boats and
streams, profit and loss, trains, ratio and proportion, quadratic equations and
problems based on ages were asked.
Logical reasoning-24 Questions, 35 minutes
Questions from coding and decoding concept(2-4 questions),
blood relations, logical arrangement of given words, drawing conclusion from a
small passage, coded relations, missing number in series, Statements and
conclusions, Data sufficiency, Direction sense(2-3 questions), passages on
seating arrangements(linear/circular/square/matrix) and deductive logic( like
based on some given eligibility conditions we should tell whether a given
person is eligible for the job role or not) or some puzzles-these passage
models are same as those asked in Bank PO exams.
SQL- 25 questions-35 minutes
I am an ECE student, I have no idea about SQL, just went for
flukes. Questions were like, to create a row/column of this kind the statement
should be the statement?, Or to perform this operation the statement should
be_________?, questions based on syntax and some theory questions from the
concepts of SQL were asked.
Automata C- 1 hr
Here we have to write two C programs in 1 hr. We need to
write the code using the concept of functions. You should create a function
that is supposed to return the result for a given input. We can compile the
code any number of times and correct the logic. So revise the concept of
functions, especially passing arrays to functions. First we should write a
program for the first question. Based on the code you write and the time you
have taken to submit the code, difficulty of second question is decided and
delivered (as it is an adaptive test). Mostly the programs were asked on
printing number patterns. Some of the examples are
1
12
123
123
12
1
For an input of 6 (6 lines)
Similarly
1 2 3 4
8 7 6 5
9 10 11 12
16 15 14 13
And
1
23
456
456
23
1
Some other programs were finding GCD, LCM of three numbers,
check whether a given number is prime or not, print prime numbers below a
number N, remove the vowels from a given sentence and print, inserting or
deleting an element from an array and different operations on array etc.
Check Read AMCAT PATTERN
Group Discussion(Case study):
Here it was not a general GD, we were divided into 9 batches
of 8 each and were given a case study. All the batches got the same case study.
I t was something related to the concept of DBMS.
It was something like this, there is a server of a website
maintained by some X Company to provide services to its clients 24x7. The
server got hacked and all the data is lost suddenly. At least 2-3 days is
needed to backup the data from backup server. Until and less the backup is made
the company cannot provide services to its clients. How do you approach to this
problem?
The points were spoken about hiring ethical hackers,
maintaining a proxy server, installing some checkpoints, creating password
security etc. You should be confident and voice your opinions as well as try to
make out the solution from the group by gathering their points. We were given
10 min to think and 20 minutes to discuss. We were given charts and sketch
pens. The HR team will be observing you for entire duration. It’s a group task
so try to make out the solution from group. After that another team will enter
and we had to present our views and solution individually. Hardly 1 to 3 were
selected from each group, those who were confident, contributing to the group,
listening and making out the solution, encouraging the team to write or draw the
solution on chart and yes, those people with good fluency. After GD, 18 were
shortlisted from 72.

Technical Interview:
Here they asked mostly on C and Java, differences, why don’t
we have pointers in Java? Structures, Unions, Pointers, how do we access a
structure member using pointer?
One C program was asked to almost everyone. It was:
You should print the numbers from 1 to 100, but if the
number is a multiple of 2 then instead of the number, RED should be printed.
Similarly, if it’s a multiple of 3 then BALLOON should be printed and if the
number is a multiple of 2 and 3 then RED BALLOON should be printed.
HR Interview:
Questions like Why Deloitte?
Tell about yourself, family background, interested in
further studies? etc were asked.
