We are UPDATING a field in SQL and ALTER the row also.After giving the COMMIT command the system is crashed.What will happen to the commands given,whether it will UPDATE and ALTER the table or not? How will add additional conditions in SQL?

Unix
The UNIX section comprised of 15 questions mostly on unix commands. Some of the questions were as follows: 1) Which command would you use to change the priority of a running process? a) nice b) ps c) top d) ls Ans: a) nice 2) Which command is used to display the output of a command as well as store it in a file ? a) cat b) grep c) tee d) top Ans: c) tee 3) A series of commands are given and you're required to find the final output $ cd / $ ls /etc $ cd /tmp $ cd $_ $ pwd a) / b) /tmp c) /etc d) error

Ans: b) /tmp Also there were two questions where you have to find out any error(s) in a shell script. So study how to write shell scripts properly. For the UNIX test, i would suggest you to read Sumitabha Das' UNIX Concepts and Applications. SQL Test (15 questions) The SQL section is very easy to clear if you know the syntax of the language properly coz most of the questions were based on identifying the correct syntax of a query. Study JOINS, VIEWS, Aggregate functions properly for this test.

Testimony
Technical Interview The technical interview is of about 30 minutes and make sure you have studied well. A good knowledge of UNIX and C is a must. So it went this way. Some questions included: - Your favourite subject - As my work experiene was in the field of Linux and UNIX, he asked me lots of questions on UNIX like - Explain the use of tee command - What is the /etc/hosts file used for? - What is the use of top command - Whats a shell - What is ifconfig - Use of grep / egrep etc - Then he moved on to C. I was asked to implement the strcat() function without using arrays. This shows that they want you to be very good @ pointers. Then i was asked to explain the function. And some other basic questions. - Eventually, he asked some questions on SQL. I was asked to write some queries on Joins especially outer joins. Some questions on views. HR Interview The HR interview was of about 10 minutes. Questions included: 1) Tell me something about yourself 2) Work experience 3) Why Amdocs ? 4) As i was already placed in Accenture, he asked me to compare the aptitude tests of accenture and amdocs. Which one was easy/difficult ? etc. 5) My strengths and weaknesses.

Testimony of a person
SQL queries were from join,Subqueries,Clusters etc,This portion was tough for me, Unix was consist of Pipelining,Shell Scripting and other vi' Commands.It was very -very difficult for me. I attempted more questions in C++ in comparison to Unix, I haven't studied Unix any time before, I read unix just for 2 or 1 day before the visit of AMDOCS. 25 students could clear Written.

Now the Time for INTERVIEW. It was consist of two rounds. 1 - Pure Tech(around 30-35 minute) 2 - HR round( around 35-40 minute) GUYZ KEEP IN MIND YOUR HR INTERVIEW(COMMUNICATION SKILL) WILL PLAY A BIG ROLE IN SELECTION. Actually ,I was unaware of this fact till the announcement of the AM DOCS Result. In tech round ,I was asked abt ( What is autometa theory,Give me an example of Autometa theory application,Then I was asked to draw a flow chart and to write Code for that example).Then I was asked puzzles.I coulnt ans any puzzle. This interview was not a good experience for me. Others were also asked for writing SQL queries SQL datatypes etc.Be honest with whatever u hav mentioned in ur CV.He can ask question from any subject.Even they checked our result cards during interview .Some students were asked question from the subjects which they have studied in their Graduation. Now it's the time for HR INTERVIEW. It started with my INTRODUCTION(Tell me abt yourself). He asked me in which area I m intresetd to work(development/Testing).I was asked abt my projects etc.s Guyz , be ready wid ur reason in whichever area u want to work. Then asked abt location preference(GURGAON/PUNE). I had already offer from Infosys . they asked me Y AMDOCS? He asked many question. I was feeling Like I wont be selected, I gave so many unsatisfactory answers in both the interviews.

But I don't know what happened I was suddenly called for 3rd interview,None other than me appeared for 3rd interview, This interview was taken by their senior executive Manager.I was so scared .I felt like ,I am forced to sent in jail and I didn't know what mistake I had committed. Well ,Finally ,I went for 3rd interview, it again started wid my introduction. This round went for 40-45 minutes.This round was of 80% tech and 50% non tech questions. He asked question from DATA STRUCTURE, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING,C++(MANY CONCEPTS like object oriented ,object based, virtual destrutor etc). He asked my area of intrest to work(DEVLOPMENT/TESTING). And Y and Y not? He asked in which phase of SDLC I m interested to work.
