There are 4 rounds:
Written Test
Technical Interview
CEO interview
HR interview
The Written test pattern:
50 Questions -- 1.5 hours of time.
Most of the questions are multiple choice.
The split up is :
EJB (10 Questions)
JAVA (20 Questions)
JSP (5 Questions)
MISLLENEOUS - XML, JDBC etc (5 Questions)
ANALYTICAL (5 Questions)
SQL (5 Questions)
Our written test is held on 17 Jan 2004 in Le Meridian hotel, Chennai.
I have written down whatever questions I remember so that it will be useful to those who will be
taking the test in future and also for those appearing for J2EE interviews.
I have given the questions in Written Test and Technical Interview.
I didn't have the other interviews.
