Hi friends, I have been a silent member of this very goodgroup since Augst 2003.I got a job in virtusa.I cameto knowtha virtusa is recruiting from thisgroup.Then i applied thru employee referral.I think only referals were called to write the written test that too witha cut-off of 70%. The paper consisted of 4 sections to be answered in 2hrs 15 minutes.
The pattern was 1)aptitude:- It was not multiple choice but fill in the blank along with a reasoning for your answer. 2) Essay Writing :-to testyour communication skills. 3)Open-Ended Problem Solving: only one question 4)Programming: 4 programs-2 programs r to be written,1 to findthe bugs given ina pseudo code,1 to find what a program does and its limitations.
32 out of approx.500 were selected for GD. After GD, there were 2 technical intrviews followed by a Hr interview. around 17 were selected. I got the offer letter today.I have to join for training by Nov 17th I thank all the group members and especially Chetana mam who have helped me during my trials.With all your help,I got this job.
ALL THE BEST for all the members who r in trials . bye Chitra

COMPANY NAME : VIRTUSA 9 Oct 2003 p OF TEST: Crescent, Vandalur __________________________
Hai Friends, I had attended Virtusa with all u r valuable Information.Thank u for all.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 Sections.
1.Analytical Reasoning (12 qns.) (we have to write reasons for the answer.)
( I don't remember exactly what they had given.I am putting it in my own words)
1) x1 peach + y1 plum = z1 apple x2 peach + y2 plum = z2 apple (x1,y1 .... z2 are integer values) How many peaches make one apple?
2) 100,100,102,106,112,120,____
3) which is greater ? Product of all Bradman's first class scores or Sum of all test scores of Sachin.
4) U r provided with 500ml and 300ml jar(it has no markings). a) u have to measure exactly 100ml. b) u have to measure exactly 200ml.
5) Using four 4's u have to make 1 ... 10. ( for eg. 1 = (4/4)*(4/4) 2 = ? . . 10 = ? )
6) student,canopy,thirst,... are the words given. u have to group the words using the following words 1)Master 2)Teacher 3)Deft etc..(i don't remember some of words)
7) U have to cut a Pizza using 7 st. lines(wit out rearranging) and u have to obtain maximum number of pieces. ( Give generalised solution..) 8) U have to cut a Cylindrical cake of diameter 32 cm and height 20 cm in to 12 equal pieces.
9) In a village there r 2 groups.
1) Knight -> always tell true 2) Knave -> always tell false Mr.X met a man of that village(u don't which grp he belongs) and questioned "Tell me whether u r knight or knave ?" Reply: "i cannot tell u and left that place" Find which grp that man belongs to?
10) obtain 277 from 3,25,50,65,100.use 4 arithmetic operations only.
11) 1#2=x ,2#3=y, 4#4=z 4@14=a, 5@15=b, d@e=f
( i don't remember values for x,y,z,a,b,c,d,e,f) find (2#4)@5= ?
12) (i don't remember what they had given.) It is just example for that question, CODE is encoded as DGBF, READ is encoded as JHNV Fins "KOVAI"
2. Essay(General). ================== (Topic given: India should spend money on Atom bomb and Rocket OR for the welfare of poor.)
3. Problem solving. (Problem statement: How will u determine number of Petrol bunks in Madras.)
4. Programming.(4 Qns) =============== ( we can use any Programming Language for coding)
a) They had given one function ,we have to find it what it does and also problem in the fn. and how to overcome it. double what( double z, int y) { double answer; while( y > 0 ) { if( y%2 == 1) answer = answer * z; y=y/2; z=z*z; } return answer; } b) They had given one Pseudocode.We have to find bug in the pseudocode.
I don't remeber the pseudocode fully.But the function of pseudocode is "To make a Robot to fetch a tumbler of water"
c) write a program to print all Armstrong numbers, (abc=a^3+b^3+c^3) (for eg. 153=1^3+5^3+3^3) d) write a function witj the following conditions, 1)It should have one integer parameter. 2)If the value passed is -ve, return -1. 3)If the value passed is a perfect square, return root of that number. 4)If the value passed is a not a perfect square, return that number itself.
______________________________________________________________
COMPANY NAME : VIRTUSA DATE OF TEST : 2003 virtusa Paper consists of 3 sections . 1. Analytical 2. Analytical Writing 3. C-Programming
First when v clear the cutoff of Analytical section,only then other sections \r evaluated.So,Don't waste time by spending much time on Programming.
Analytical Section: ------------------- Analytical Section consists of Vocab. ( pick the odd one out ) and also some codings like ( ALPHA z coded as BETAH , DELTA z coded as GAMMA, then how z ETA coded ? .. this one .. i have framed it :) ) . This part z a bit difficult one. So, my advice z don't think much about these. Along with above two categories, there shall be PUZZLES in this section.In the recent paper I attended,i got the following questions.
1.Volume of a LARGE SPHERE z ( pi * # ) .Area of it z ( pi * & ) where '#,&' r four digit integers.What z the value of the radius ? ( Along with answer , v have to write approach).
answer: may be 22
2.In howmany ways can a rectangle can be cut into 4 equal parts.
3.Given 1,2,3,25,50,75 and 100 .. Using each number "one and only once" and using arithmetic operators, write 383 in terms of the above given numbers.
answer: 383 = ( 100 + 2 ) * 3 + 75 + ( (50 * 1)/2 )
4.A tougher question of above. given 1,2,25,50,75,100 .. write 383 in terms of the given numbers.
5.Given following sequence,find the how the sequence is generated. 2 -> 1,4,9,6,5,6,9,4,1,0 3 -> 1,8,7,4,5,6,3,2,9,0 4 -> 1,6,1,6,5,6,1,6,1,0
answer : the sequences r nothing but the UNIT digits of square(x),cube(x),power4(x) where x = [ 1 ... 10 ]
6.Knights always tell TRUTH.Knaves always tell LIE.U r a foreigner to that place and U have met a person and he replies "I am a knave " . What can u infer from his statement.
answer : nothing can be infered from his statement.
7. using 4 fours and arithmetic operations write from 1 to 10
3 = ( 4 + 4 + 4 ) / 4 4 = ( 4 - 4 ) * 4 + 4 5 = ( 4 * 4 + 4 ) / 4 6 = 4 + ( 4 + 4 )/4 // 4 + 2
7 = ( 4 + 4 ) - ( 4 / 4 ) 8 = ( 4 + 4 ) * ( 4 / 4 )
9 = ( 4 + 4 ) + ( 4 / 4 ) 10 = ( 44 - 4 ) / 4
I forget the two more questions.
Analytical Writing : ------------------ This section has two questions only. 1.General topic. ( Don't forget that v have to just write one page only .. not an essay) ( So,write the points directly )
For us they gave topics Is it necessary for to HOST AFROASIAN GAMES ?? Why can't it spend that money for the welfare of poor ? OR
Can India have better results if the current for of govt. is changed to PRESEDENTIAL FORM OF GOVT. ( like USA ) . 2.He gives a highly impossible possible and asks to give a solution.( To check ur innovative ideas :) ) For us, Suppose u have suddenly changed to an ANT.U know human's abilities,but u have forgot their language.How can u make urself to convey ur BELOVED that u have been changed to an ANT.
Programming : -------------
This section consists of 4 questions.Out of 4, for 3 questions v have to write code.The last question shall be .. they shall give some code and v have to write whether the code is correct one r not .. if not correct , where the modifications show be done. and also v have to write what that CODE IS DOING.
------------------------=============-----------------------------------
this is the paper for virtusa about 450 of us attende the At out of which 43 cleared for the GD. then they had interviews - very less technical n more of communication skills. out of 43 only 22 cleared went for interview. Finally 11 were shortlisted only 2 from r college
others from nearby colleges. once u have cleared the AT the selection is very
simple. in the AT they r only tesitng ur approach so give proper reasons forthe answers. questions r easy.some questions i remember r

9. many rules r given n the valid statement is asked. ans: the last option.
10. many designs r given n the next possible one is chosen.very easy to do with little imagination.
11. numbers in a sequence n encrypting letters also was there. C section-3 questions were given but better to attend
2.
1.when a user inputs values, if it is even perform a
divide by 2, else perform n*n-1 and store them in a
sequence.the output must be the largest power of 2 in
the given sequence.
2.write a prog to generate pythagorian triads of the form a^2+b^2=c^2.eg3,4,6. The sequence should not repeat by changing the order of the numbers like 4,3,6.
3.a prog is given n we have to check if legal or not. if not correct it or describe its working.the prog looked like a fibonacci generating sequence. make sure u justify ur answers properly bcoz it is the approach they r looking at.once u have cleared the AT it is very easy to get selected..

1.Logical reasoning(LR)
2.problem solving (1 question)
3.Essay on a general topic
4.Programming
Logical reasoning and programming are most important. If u do well
in these sections ur selected. LR has a minimum cutoff u should clear that to evaluate ur other sections. In LR u r also required to provide the reason for the answer u select. Try basic logical questions for prep.
In progg we had 5 questions to write the program. Do well in this section. Don't worry about 2 & 3 sections. Spend max time on 1 & 4.
After test we had GD which doesn't count much but becomes the basic impression for HR interview. HR is important.
Technical interview asked all about the programs written in test.And also they ask u to optimize the program.
If u done HR well and had good progg skills u will get selected.
All the best.....Bye....Raja shekhar

Hai Friends, This is ROHINI KUAMAR.I attended pre-qualification test at Virtusa in Hyderabad. I want to share the paper pattern with u. So let me giv u the details of the test.
HERE I HAVE GIVEN ALMOST 90% OF THE QUESTIONS IN THE PAPER
There were 3 sections:(In which they tested 4 skills)
Analytical&Logical skills Programming skills Writing skills
All the 4 skill tests are fully brain teasers.
The duration of the test was 2hours,and the L&A Reasoning has a minimum cutoff u should clear that to evaluate ur other sections.
The questions are as follows (These are not in serial order and the information may not be accurate, when specified)
SECTION 1 (Analytical and Logical)
1.1 2 3 2 5 6 7 8 3 find the next term in the series Ans: Reason:
2.How can u place 4 coins in 2 lines so that each line should contain 3 coins
Ans:I wrote, it maynot be possible
3.Find the odd word
ALPHA DELTA SIGMA BETA Ans:I think it is Delta, Reason: as it has specific meaning(addition)and others don't have such meaning,just used for representation purpose.(i think so)
4.There was an addition given as follows SATURN + URANUS = PLANETS the solution is not encoding the entire problem but to find coding for 3 alphabets
Ans: Key Steps:
5.There was a set of words given as follows SUN,MER,VEN,---,...........,SAT,---,NEP,PLU (I don't remember exactly but, all are the names of planets in solar system with notation of each planet using 3 letters) The question was to find out the appropriate words in the given blanks ***SOME CHOICES WERE GIVEN***
Ans: Reason:
6.How can u get 81 using the digits 2,3,25,50,75,100 only once using any of the arithmatic operators Key Steps: 50+(100/75*3)+25+2
7.(This is a real sitter, takes a long time) A man have some three types boxes viz Huge,Large,Small He took 11 of huge boxes and put on a table.And at random he has taken some of them and placed 8 large boxes in each of the boxes.And after that he has placed 8 small boxes in some large boxes at random.By the end if he found 102 boxes empty, how many boxes are there on the table?
Ans: Key Steps:
8.If u have a large number of Knights and a chess board.The problem is to find the way of arranging the Knights on the board so that no Knight attacks the other. (He has given mathematical relations that represents how a knight can move on the chess board as we know it as 'L', i'm not giving such stuff)
Ans: Key Steps:
9.You are given a bunch of threads each having differing length.No two thereads have same thickness and no thread has same thickness all its length. But it is certified that any thread when lit burns itself in exactly 12 mins. The question is you are asked to find an elapsed time of 9 minuites.How can u find it out and how manythreads do u want for this?
Ans: Key Steps:
(I think most of the questions are covered here. But there may be a couple of questions left which i can't remember in this Analytical and logical reasoning, OK)
SECTION 2 (Writing)
The topic to Write was on "Connecting the rivers in India".
SECTION 3
You can write the programs in this section using any programing language
3.1) 1.There was a pyramid given as follows
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
The three dots are given as a part of the specification. The above pyramid is to be printed when input number 13 is given. Write a program to print the above pyramid.
2.Write a function which returns a substring in the string 'Sigma' (character given)which starts with 'Alpha' and ends with 'Thita' 3.You have a job in which you have to take time stamps and store them. So Write a datastructure that can minimize the storage requirements of Year,Month,Date,Hour,Minuite.
4.Write a program to find the four digited numbers, which are perfect squares, and all the digits in that number are even. (i think there is another program given which i don't remember)
3.2) THIS CARRIES 15 MARKS
The types of problems such as prob #4 from the section 1, (SATURN+URANUS=PLANETS) are called cryptorithms or alphabeticalcoding. Where an alphabet is assigned a code so that the problem is to be solved using given summation. Write a program to solve such questions, which prints the letter and its corresponding digit that satisfies the given addition.
************** THE END ***************
This is what i remember.What i can say is solving the entire paper may not be difficult but to solve the paper in the given limit of 2 hrs is a problem.Also Virtusa people concentrate more on analytical and logical reasoning. My sincere thanks to Mr.Rajashekar who with my request, responded quickly and sent a previous paper of Virtusa. Without it i was just unable togo to the exam atleast with some mental preparation. Also my heartful thanks to Chetana madam,who is behind all the scenes, whose efforts are making this group flourish and grow day-by- day making this much useful to the people,especially freshers. I say, without this group many freshers can't make something in the compititive exams like satyam,wipro,TCS..... So my sincere request is to make the best out of this group, and also to serve and help the people who come after you. BYE FRIENDS, VRK ROHINI KUMAR
