First of all, if you are good at technical skills, this company is one of the best company for you.

The selection process comprises of 5 stages:

1) Technical objective paper

2) Technical subjective paper

3) Technical interview 1

4) Technical interview 2

5) HR interview

The technical paper will not be tough if you have taken your subjects in engineering seriously or if you have prepared for GATE previously, its an advantage for you.

Main subjects of concern were: 

* Data Structure

* DBMS

* Software Engg

* Concepts of C

* OS

This is the order of priority too.

First written paper  comprises of 60 questions to be attempted in 60 mins 5 from data structures 5 from C

5 from s/w engg 5 from dbms 5 from OS and computer system architecture and 5 from general aptitude.

Your basics must be clear in all these subjects.

Next, the second written test is taken consecutively so be prepared. It has two questions, one from english prose writting and another from C questions from english will be based on some very general topic on which every one can write atleast 2 pages(but dont write so much), the next question is to write a C program based on some nice logical problem. We were asked to write a program to read all sentences from one file, remove extra spaces(more than one consecutive spaces) between two words from each sentence, and write the modified sentences to another file.

If you have survived till now, here starts your main race. Both the technical interviews will require you to prepare all the above mentioned subjects in great depth. 

Prepare your project too.

You would be asked to write programs, write algorithms, solve puzzle type questions, about the toughest part in implementing your project, etc

 

If you have still survived, you will get through because they don't filter much in HR round.

 

My HR round was a cake walk, although my technical interviews lasted for 1:30 hours and 45 mins respectively.

HR interview was hardly 20 mins.

Best of luck!

See you in Persistent.

Persistent Company Previous Written Test Papers 2010

Test Paper :4

Paper Type     : Candidate Experiences

Test Date        : 26  December  2010

Test Location  : AECS Layout, Bangalore

Hi Friends,

 

Recently I got selected for persistent, for me it is a surprising thing, because 2 days before for our campus Infosys visited. We prepare a little bit more compared to persistent. And my expectations on persistent is absolutely nill. But luckily i got selected for it.

The things which should be necessarily required for this company was all the core subjects of cse

i.e., C, DS, C++, DBMS, OS, CN, UNIX.

Objective test:

In this it consists of all CSE core subjects and GA and its easy if we had a little bit touch on our subjects.

Written  test:

In this it contains two things

1) We should write an essay

2) We should write a program

My sincere advice for the candidates who are appearing for persistent is to concentrate more on program rather than

essay

I was surprised after seeing my name in the selected list

And then it consists of two technical HR's

1) He used to test all the core subjects and especially on DS and sorting algorithms we should thorough enough in it and in addition to these he may ask puzzles

2) The second technical interview is conducted in order to confirm that he had selected the right person or not and it is little bit easy compared to first technical HR

And then it is followed by HR

It placed a crucial thing for me, because the HR mainly focused on depressing me by asking the same question multiple times.

I got some what tensed in this part and my good luck mam has said that I got selected soon after I gone from the HR room. This make me very happy and free from tension

And better luck my dear friends. And I had a material for exclusively for persistent. Do let me know in case of any query.

Hello Friends,  

Persistent systems (PSPL) conducted a pooled campus @ SDM, dharwad on 24th & 25th December 2010.

They conduced 3 rounds.

1. Technical objective & technical subjective.

3. Technical interview.

4. HR round

1st. round: Technical objective.

60 questions, 60 mins. All technical question related to C, Cpp , DS, OS, networking, computer fundamentals

No negative marks.

 

They allowed 2 candidates to sit in a bench. Both candidates got same question paper, but questions were shuffled. 

Tip: Try to sit with a smart friend who can help you.

Technical subjective:

In this round they asked to write a program and essay (duration: 30 mins). Essay has less weight age so need not write lengthy para. Topic was Indian Media.  Just write some striking 8-10 points with some good points. Enough.

Program is the most important part of this round. You'll be asked to write 1 program on either linked list or file handling. So be perfect t in both type. They asked us to write program to indent a input C program file.

Even if you cant write program just write algorithm or pseudo code. They just want to check your logic. 

Out of  250+ candidates appeared, only 60 were short listed after 1^st round. 

2^nd  Round: Technical Interview:

This was the toughest part. Questions may be asked on anything, any topic. So perfectly prepare with C, Cpp, DS, OS, web programming. And dbms most important. Be perfect in basic concepts of every subject.

You may be asked to write a program for linked list or file handling. They love linked list. It may last for an hour or even more.

Depending on performance of this round, they may take another round.

If you clear technical round, you are almost done, HR round is just formality.

All the best Guys.
