Amdocs Recruitment Test

Date: 8th May 2010, I opened my outlook and suddenly a mail from FirstNaukri.com popped up. Surprisingly it was from Amdocs :) of a Recruitment Drive for SME. Without wasting a single minute i replied with my Resume attached :) Another surprise on the same day, HR Representative called me to confirm whether I can come down to Amdocs, Magarpatta Office tomorrow i.e on 9th May 2010 at 9:30 [sharp] :) and my answer was YES!

She then asked me to choose any one from C or C++ or Java. I asked her that is this only I have to prepare? and she firmly said "YES". But i knew that Amdocs's SME are required to know Unix and SQL also! Thanks to Rohit :)

And then my preparation started I revised C , C++ , Unix , SQL ["BASICs"]. As this was my first ever Recruitment Test I thought it would be based on Basics.

Finally the day came (which was the next day only :P) I dressed up as if I was going to get placed today itself and I'll be start working ;) For me going to Hadapsar was like going for regular routine, 6 months back :)

Finding Amdocs was not that difficult as I was connected to GoogleMaps and offcourse to Rohit. The moment I entered into Magarpatta City I was like "WTH, where I'm ?". Fantastic place, I must admit :) then Cybercity Towers were like Too Good, awesome, flawless :)

I then met with the Test coordinator who escorted me to the Fantastic Class Rooms which were named by Forts i guess! Then I registered for the Online Test and finally my Test Started :)

I wasn't scared but nervous as I didn't wanted to lose this fantastic opportunity to get in to the Amdocs :) Test was quite Challenging actually and mainly Unix and SQL was extremely difficult for a guy like me who studied basics of Unix two years before and never used Unix/Linux thereafter.SQL had questions from Stored Procedures, Indexes, Joins.I could have done better in SQL actually :( but i don't know what I have done there :|

But 1 thing for sure, today I have experienced something which has completely changed my approach to Entrance Tests. And off course I've learned that, I should prepare more on my Aptitude and also brush up my Technical Skills!

If i get selected in Amdocs, I'll surely do my best to prepare very well before my Interview. Let's hope for best.

In all it was very nice experience of First Ever Recruitment Test in my Life :)
