Pattern of Written Test

There was a written aptitude test followed by a group discussion and then personal interview.
In the written test there were quant questions(easy-medium level) and technical questions mainly from
datastructures and C/C++ (multiple choice questions). For each section there was a definite period of time alloted.
There was also a section where 2 programs were asked-one was to find the angle between hour hand and minute
hand , another was on anagrams . Finally an essay type question-"Why do you want to work for Goldman Sachs
and why it should hire you"

Pattern of Group Discussion

Name of the Topic / Task : An abstract of 4-5 pages was given
Time Given : 20 Minutes
Details of the process and your contribution:
An abstract of 4-5 pages about the people on a ship which is going to sink. Around 4-5 peoples' personalities were
analysed thoroughly. We had to choose a captain and vice captain for the ship at such a critical juncture.

Technical Interview

First Interview- What is your favorite subject?
I said DS..then he asked why? Then some questions based on what I answered..Also asked about use of trees in
real life scenario..I spoke about data models -hierarchical data model follows tree structure..It was a prety cool
round..I wasn't made to write any code
Second Interview- He asked me about Polymorphism Function Overloading Virtual Functions etc. Then I was asked
to write a code for a "movie " class . And types of movies are- new , ol, medium levels and then some functions I
don't exactly remember..basically he was checking C++ class concepts.
Third Interview- He asked me about the two programs which were asked in the written round.
Final interview- He asked me about my curriculum , one question on abstract classes and then what do I want in a
job..my preferences and all

Suggestion

Hello everybody,
Placements are a difficult period and one tends to get tensed up. So start revising C/C++ concepts and
datastructures in the summer vacation itself. Technical C/C++ questions you can practice from Test your C skills by
Kanetkar. And stay cool . Be confident. ALL THE BEST :)

No. of Candidate applied And Points that Worked in Favour
