Download polaris Placement Papers in MS Word and PDF Format for Job Interview

Hi All of you,

I am happy to inform you all that with the grace of God I got selected at Polaris.

I share some of the questions I faced in interview. As I am from Electrical they asked from, basic circuits like half adder, full adder, how it is functioning, boolean algebra, some basic laws, how to implement a circuit with the given function, why we are using karnau map, basic C program stuffs, rectifier operation, math puzzle.

About my project work. Hey asked me in detail what are its applications, how it is working. Don,t get shock why for a software c/y they ask all these. They are really good in the sense that they will see only how you are answering, and how you are confident.

Always be strong in your core subject. They asked why you want to come to software c/y. "How to answer 64 tougest interview questions" book would help anyone how to present their ideas in interview.

I was very frank and didn,t tell false or fake things. Interviewers are really good and they checked only your IQ and how you can handle things.

Eventhough I didn,t have much knowledge in software, they selected me only for this reason. you can do it. Work well. Get into a good company like Polaris.
Bye.

I placed in Polaris atleast 240 students were sit for written, from there 72 clered & finally 47 students placed. I was among dem. I,m really thank full to god. Here are the some tips about interview.

There were two steps.

1/ written. It was easy.

2/ pi =technical+ hr
In technical they ask me frm robotics as I was the student of ECE. Then from project. Try to waste time by saying what you know. Never give them any chance to say something. MIND IT.? then from digital. I forgot the question. It was easy if you anyhow manage to clear technical round then you have 90% chance of selection. So give your best don,t scared infrnt of them.

Ok bye, holpe for the best because God is great!

Hi all,

First of all let me thank you all. I made it into Polaris Software Lab Ltd., SEEPZ, Mumbai. This Company being one amongst teh top 8 Indain IT companies , is a well-reputed Co. I got this info thru, thsi group. I am very grateful to this colorful group. Yesterday I got the job offer. Whenever i posted a request I ,d get a fair response from the group.

I,d given the All India Polaris Talent Search test on 10th of Aug at Mumbai location, and attended the Personal Inteerview on 6th Sep, and eventually I got the job ofer yesterday. Frankly speaking, I got the info from this group.

Now I am very happy to say that I,m one-step ahead in my career ladder.

The Written Test Pattern:
Analogy (35 Q)
Quanatitative (45 Q)
Verbal (40 Q)

In Total, We,d to attend 120 Qs in 90 Min, so we,d to race against the time. The English paper was just a bit higher than Spoken English, but was not hi-fi like GRE English. But this could b completed within 15 min. And reg -ve marnking, nothing was mentioned, so we,d to refrain from wild guessing. There was no restriction of order of the sections, we cud attend it in any order. And Persaonl Interview was quite cool.

I thank you very much. And my sincere request to the group members, whoever gets a job, don,t wind up from the group all of a sudden, serve as far as u can, and remember they,d helped u in the difficult situations.

hi all,

i,ve got placed at polaris s/w lab,chennai. i got my offer letter and have been asked to join on 13th october.
a short recap of the whole procedure.

am a b.e.(i.t.) grad-2003 passout. the ad from polaris calling for freshers appeared in "The Hindu" sometime around july end/august beginning(i dont exactly remember)-i applied to the id specified in the ad. then,got shortlisted for the written test which was at loyola college,chennai on 10th august,2003. was called for the interview on 30th august to the shakti towers office in anna salai...finally,on 16th sept, got anintimation mail that i,m selected as a "project
intern"

got my offer letter on 18th septhave been asked to join on 13th october.
the written test was based on GRE/IIM CAT pattern
the written test pattern was:
Analyical (35 Q)
Quanatitative (45 Q)
Verbal (40 Q)
in 1 1/2 hours...no negative marking--so,i patiently answered anals and verbal and guessed mostly on quantitative since some tedious calculations were
involved and there wasnt enuf time.
There was no restriction of order of the sections-so,one cud attempt questions according to one,s comfort and preference.
Personal Interview was partly technical and partly hr--no fixed format and duration.mine was for 15 minutes.

i really must thank chetana ma,am for this wonderful group which was my source of encouragement thru,out the difficult phase of job hunt for the past 2
months...whenever, i,d lose hope,some new suitable opportunity wud crop up on the grp and i,d enthusiastically apply if it were not for this
group, i,d have ended up getting depressed long ago.i just hope and pray everyone of us gets a worthy job. and hope this group continues to
remain an inspiration and encouraging factor for the hordes of jobseekers every year.
