Mastek Placement Paper : General - other Terna - 2 April 2008
MASTEK PAPER ON 2nd APRIL 2008
hi frns, tryin my bit to help all u guys n gals appearing for MASTEK placement….
APTITUDE: 2 hrs
6 SECTIONS:
1) C++
15 questions.
More than half were conceptual for example: Which of the following statements are true:
I)Destructors can have arguments. F
II)Destructors can be overloaded. F
III)…..
IV)….so on
Another example: Can friend functions be calld using pointer to pointer functions? Ans: NO
What is the default access specifier for an inheritance? Ans: Private
Lotsa questions on INHERITANCE concepts……
2) RDBMS
·15 questions.
· Some were conceptual, some were very general and others were kinda queries. For eg: which type of join is not used commercially?
Ans: Inner Join
Then….Definition of 3NF was given and we had to find which normalization was it representing. Read up all of the Joins…i.e Natural,outer,left outer,right outer etc. This section is not very difficult if you know the basic fundas of DBMS…no need to go in depth…
3) PROGRAMMING ABILITY
· 15 questions
· Either we had a question, codes as the options and choose the right one..for eg: to find prime nos frm 1 to 100 which of the following code is correct. 4 options were given….
A pattern of output is given say
0
0 1 0
0 0 1 2 0 0….so on and 4 codes as options, choose the correct. The catch here was only abt the format and not the logic in most cases…..in this case…..der were two exactly similar option the only difference being a PRINTLN statement after every output in one of them….so dats the correct one!!!
Or There were questions with loops starting frm I=0 upto I=50 and we had to find the value of sum variables used in the for loop after the execution…again the catch here was u neednt have to go thru the loop 50 times during the dry run…..u tend to get a kind f sequence when u do the dry run for abt 5-6 times and den u apply ur quant abilities and get the answer….
Some of the options in d code had simple SYNTACTICAL errors and were to be striked off as wrong….so u din have to actually dry run sum codes at all…!!!
4) VERBAL
· 15 or 20 questions
· It was very simple…..choose correct alternative/best word that suits the sentence, simple synonyms and 2 reading comprehension which were technical related topics….for instance We got one on Microprocessors and another on Multithreading so I dint have to read the passage at all to anwer the question….
5) ANALYTICAL/QUANT
· 15 questions
· Very simple. Two questions were based on Venn Diagrams and one on sequences while a few others on Logical Reasoning. A bit of RS agarwal and a cool mind is enuf to clear this.
6) CASE STUDY
· 5 questions
· There was a case study given on Stacks:
Ram,Ravi and Nithya in one class and 3 other students (names I don’t remember) in another class. Their weights were given in kgs. You have to place them in two separate stacks such that the weight of the person on the top of stack is the lowest.
There were 5 very simple questions on the stack implementation for this scenario. If there is a Case Study section, please do attempt it.

Mastek Placement Paper : Whole Testpaper Fr.CRIT (Agnels), Vashi - 8 July 2006
Mastek Campus Placement in Fr.CRIT (Agnels), Vashi on 8th July 2006
Overview:
1) Aptitude
3) GD
2) HR Interview. No Technical Interview.
I am Yeshodhan S Kulkarni. I had attended the Mastek Campus Placement in Fr.CRIT (Agnels), Vashi on 8th July 2006. Around 90 students had atended. 9 cleared the aptitude. GD is there if more students clear the aptitude. There was no GD. 5 got selected in HR. They had a presentation for 1 and 1/2 hour. After the presentation they immediately started with the Aptitude. The Package was aroung 2.66 Lacs Per Annum.
The Mastek Question Paper pattern is as follows:
80 questions 80 minutes.
0.25 negative marking.
Each subsection consists of 10 Questions.
No sectional cutoff.
4 Sections
Section 1: Logical
There are 2 subsections in this section.
1.1 This is simple arithmatical logic.
1.2 Logical Venn Diagrams..few statements are given the you have to deduce the Venn Diagram for those statements.
(Refer RS AGGARWAL VERBAL REASONING)
Section 2: Verbal Abilities
There are 2 subsections:
2.1 Verbal Inference.
In this section, a statement is given. From the options, you have to find out the most similar in meaning to the one given.
(Similar to CAT Verbal pattern)
2.2 Passage and Question & Answers.
Section 3: Flowchart.
2 flowcharts were given in this section. The flowcharts were incomplete. They give the objective of the flowchart that tells exactly what the flowchart is for. You have to fill up the boxex that are incomplete. Incomplete boxes are numbered. You have to select an option for that particular number.
Flowchart 1: Print Prime Nos from 1 to 100. (I wasted most of my time here)
Flowchart 2: Find the largest no. from given numbers. (Go for this one first its easy I heard)
Section 4: Quantitative Aptitude
3 Subsections:
4.1 A bit difficult quants questions from RS AGGARWAL. If you do it properly, its easy.
4.2 & 4.3 were also from RS AGGGARWAL. Very easy sections.
Tips:
Guys, although I didnt clear, actually I didnt knew how was the paper going to come rather I didnt knew the the pattern. I had stressed more in Antonyms and Synonyms in which I was very strong. But didnt knew it wasnt there in this apti. So, dont prepare these for Mastek.
1) The answer sheet is quite confusing. So mark each answer properly.
2) Solve the Quants Section first. Its damn easy.
3) Attempt the flowchart section at last.
4) Once you get the question booklet, dont get baffeled. You have to turn a lot of pages. So be prepared for that mentally.

Mastek Placement Paper : Mastek Paper Whole Testpaper Fr.CRIT (Agnels), Vashi - 8 July 2006
The Mastek Question Paper pattern is as follows:
80 questions 80 minutes.
0.25 negative marking.
Each subsection consists of 10 Questions.
No sectional cutoff.
4 Sections
Section 1: Logical
There are 2 subsections in this section.
1.1 This is simple arithmatical logic.
1.2 Logical Venn Diagrams..few statements are given the you have to deduce the Venn Diagram for those statements.
(Refer RS AGGARWAL VERBAL REASONING)
Section 2: Verbal Abilities
There are 2 subsections:
2.1 Verbal Inference.
In this section, a statement is given. From the options, you have to find out the most similar in meaning to the one given.
(Similar to CAT Verbal pattern)
2.2 Passage and Question & Answers.
Section 3: Flowchart.
2 flowcharts were given in this section. The flowcharts were incomplete. They give the objective of the flowchart that tells exactly what the flowchart is for. You have to fill up the boxex that are incomplete. Incomplete boxes are numbered. You have to select an option for that particular number.
Flowchart 1: Print Prime Nos from 1 to 100. (I wasted most of my time here)
Flowchart 2: Find the largest no. from given numbers. (Go for this one first its easy I heard)
Section 4: Quantitative Aptitude
3 Subsections:
4.1 A bit difficult quants questions from RS AGGARWAL. If you do it properly, its easy.
4.2 & 4.3 were also from RS AGGGARWAL. Very easy sections.
Tips:
Guys, although I didnt clear, actually I didnt knew how was the paper going to come rather I didnt knew the the pattern. I had stressed more in Antonyms and Synonyms in which I was very strong. But didnt knew it wasnt there in this apti. So, dont prepare these for Mastek.
1) The answer sheet is quite confusing. So mark each answer properly.
2) Solve the Quants Section first. Its damn easy.
3) Attempt the flowchart section at last.
4) Once you get the question booklet, dont get baffeled. You have to turn a lot of pages. So be prepared for that mentally.
I didnt clear the Aptiude, so dont know anything about the HR.
Mastek is a very good company guys. Dont miss it.
Well, this is a small contribution from my side to all those aspiring for jobs. All the best from my side to ALL.
Do post a feedback if helpful.
