GRAPECITY -2010

GRAPECITY PATTERN & INTERVIEW - JUL 2006
Hello Chetanaites,

1. The first round is an aptitude paper 30 questions in 30 minutes: The paper is one of its kind that i
have ever seen. t consists of everything. The questions are divided into 4 classes namely A, B, C and D.

The D level questions are the simplest and will fetch u only one mark while the A level questions are very
lengthy and conceptual, however will fetch u the maximum number of marks i.e four. The D level
questions are very very simple, as simple as look and answer. Ch eta naS
For example: 4 pictures are given and looking at them u have to answer which once is different from the
rest of the 3. Another simple question of this type is the one in which there is a pool of figures such as
pentagon, hexagon, rectangle and square and below this pool value of each figure is written. U have to
calculate the value of the pool by counting the no of figures and replacing them with there values.

The C level questions are from R.S Agg, simple questions based on percentage, profit lose, time and
work and number problems basically there to check ur ability to deal with quantitative problems. suggest
u to go through the solved examples of R.S Agg and practice some questions based on the same.

The A and B level questions are based on Logical Reasoning where the Level B questions are simpler
than the level A questions. could hardly solve any A level question. You need to solve atleast 15
questions to seek ur chances of getting to the next round.

2. The second round is an HR interview: ts a general HR interview in which u could be asked simple
HR questions based on ur resume, some situational based questions like design a mobile phone for deaf
and dumb, some basic technical questions. You cannot get eliminated from this round unless u can't
speak english.

3. Third round is another HR/ Basic TechnicaI Round: You would be
interview by a Japanese HR, they would judge ur basic technical skills, discuss ur projects. felt if this
round was just to make sure that ur profile matches the profile that u have been called for.

4. Fourth Round/ Core TechnicaI round: This was a core technical round
which revolved around all the technical stuff that u could possibly dream of. U could be asked to design a
module and then implement it on the computer. Mind u they not only check ur basics but penetrate to the
insights of the topics aswell. They may also ask u puzzles to check how logically strong u are.

5. Fifth Round/ TechnicaI + HR: The last round here is the technical cum HR round. Here in the HR was
an old japanese person who finally asks u any thing and everything of technical and HR, they won't be
satisfied if u can make the program but they would be satisfied if u can make an optimized program. U
don't have to be the master of the trade but one with very very good logical skills. They want you to do
things quick and smart and that too in a compact manner. A simple program of ( if else ) in C can also be
written through ( ? : ), use the latter option because it makes the size of the program small and thats
what they love.http://www.ChetanaSinterview.com

Once u are through all the rounds u would be offered a package which can smartly be negotiated.
