It's every one's dream to achieve big, but not everyone venture into doing so.
One obvious thing is that all great men were VORACIOUS READERS. So read every book you get, whatever be the field and develop your skills. Try to participate in everything. Don't shun away from anything. Develop leadership skills by reading and taking responsibilities...LEARN FROM THE LEADERS!!!

I am a final yr. IT engg. student and currently preparing for campus palcements.
Can we also ask for the solution of questions of company's previous question papers as we generally cant find out their answers on the net and some of them are just too tough for people like me.

here is an example of such question:

A cow is standing 5 feet from the middle of the bridge. A train is coming towards the cow at speed of 90 miles per hour from the near end and the train is twice as long as the bridge. If the cow had tried to move forward in the same direction as of the train then the cow would have got hit be three feet. But it moved in opposite direction to the train and saved by one feet. Then What is the length of the bridge?

[damnthenet]

Good ~Phenom~, you really got what I meant. This thread can be very useful even in discussing issues like that...
As for the problem, I should think...
But here's my humble request, please make the qusestion as clear as possible
And here's a link which might be useful...
Infosys' QP (a few answered) http://www.recmadras.com/Department/...fosys-2006.doc

No offence but I feel what Ishan has said was the right answer, its all mostly aptitude questions.

Here's the CORRECT ANSWER for the question
I've sent it as an attachement in GIF format
The answer that I gave FIRST in this thread is not appropriate... there was an error in the units and an equtaion...
I didn't read the question properly first... Now, I have edited it and given the correct answer. Sorry for the mistake.
Hope the answer is fine now...REPLY!!!

[Ishan]

@Phenom...Sorry if u felt bad...and i am not offending right now, so pls we are good friends OK...I wanted to tell that...even my friend replied the same as me when I asked him this ques...

See i gave gave him the ques in written..so the ans has took this direction...
but if the ques is asked orally to u....u cant get such an ans...So this the differece....
Well I stop this here...so that the thread doesnt goes to wrong direction.Sorry once again if u felt bad!

[damnthenet]

Please do answer for the questions...

I have done my COmp engg this year and cleared out with 1st class.
But according to me Engg is JUST and degree and it in no way can help in job feild...the syllabus sucks..which stresses more on theory....and irrelevant subjects.....every enng has to get additional knowledge ...say programming language, h/w knowledge, MBA etc.
The Companies aslo do not trust Engg degrees so tehy get in to training 6months to the candiates they have recruited.....they only to have to find QUICK learners through marks.....
Only few r capable of applying knowledge of engg feild in job env....
So what all enng ghave to say abt this

It's absolutely true. But the guys now (including me) have more exposure to many stuff (of course, bcoz of the flourishing IT industry) which makes things easier. So, it's left in the hands of students (no pun intended) to get equipped with the necessary know' and skills and get going. But anyway, it's only the "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST"

[wizrulz]

After getting out of college......i am learning that only until we get 1st job the marks matters..after that the experience u get and according to ur expertise u get the future jobs..so y the hell poeple stress so much on theory and marks......professional studies should be pratical (industrial) based........
So selecting a career what u enjoy the most shoudl be picked...or u can say what u can MASTER is BEST path....

There are multiple ways and I'll write about one of them.
You can take up engineering (Obviously a branch heavy in electronics) in your U.G and do M.E. in your preferred field (like VLSI design).
You can also master electronics taking a U.G. in the field and then go for advanced topics of your interest in P.G.

[the_technovice]
