Round 2 (Competitive coding): It was a offline test on our campus lab . it consists 5 questions. Even if you solve 3 you will get into next round. They want Clarity, Quality, Boundary Condition, Efficiency (Any Language you can use its on you).(Duration-3 hrs) 1 : https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/job- sequencing-problem-set-1-greedy-algorithm/ 2 :https://www.geeksforgeeks.ore/longest- increasing-subsequence-dp-3/ 118311115123, 146M 3: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/search-a-word- 2d-grid-of-characters/\ 4: ATM Machine Problem given notes of 1000, 500, 100, 50, 20, 10(Number of notes given at the starting point and we have to N transactions if amount present return the amount present in ATM decrease count of notes and if not present then display “no sufficient amount”) 5 : Given the Text and we have to find the Pattern ? ->means one characters are missing -> means multiple characters are missing Example: Text Pattern Output baaabab baaa?ab TRUE baaabab btab TRUE baaabab tab TRUE baaabab ba?ab FALSE *Note: Try to avoid bu approach in function, try to use best Round 3 (Advanced Coding Round): My task was to implement “Chess Tournament” in which they gave four modules. implementation of all four modules are important. Given the number of players we have to conduct matches in pair we have to create a random method for match if ‘player 1’ wins gave 1 point else gave it to ‘player 2’ if there is a Tie then both ‘player 1 ‘and ‘player 2’ got 0.5 point if nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor number of players are odd then the last one gets bonus point 1 we have to display the winner of each match with both player at every round we have to display score of every player, and we have to assign match according to there score and once two player played a match they are not allowed to play match in the same pair we have to display the winner of the “Chess Tournament” and also the cumulative score (bonus points are not allowed to add).(Duration-3 hrs) Technical team Member is there you can discuss if you have any problem they can explain problem to you if require. ‘They can ask anything from your code so prepared with all your concepts.” Once i completed all modules i shown it toa Technical team Member, he asked me some questions from code, he wants me to explain the code i explain full code step by step with ‘mentioning all the Object Oriented Programming Concepts. Then at the same place he asked me some question related to my Projects that done in my academics.some other questions from my resume, and also some HR Questions like (about family member, about parents occupation, native place) *Note‘Try to use Object Oriented Programming Concepts and Data Structure. your code should be clean can be easy to understand. try to show every module once you complete it, Intersection with member is very useful Round 4(HR Interview): It was a very short interview round a HR member was there in the panel he asked me some questions about family and why choose MCA after B.Sc., My Dream Company, where i want to see my self after 5 years, and are you comfortable in South India because i am from north, have you visited Chennai, What is service based company and what is product based company, then he asked if i have any question i asked few questions then he asked me to wait out side . (Duration- 15 minutes) Zoho Interview Experience (On-Campus) 218311115123, 146M Round 1: Pen and Paper test on Aptitude and C, (C+ Fill in the blanks ( mainly focused on tracing Recursions and Pointers ). Duration ~ 1:30 hrs Cand C++ 10 questions 1 mark each ‘Advanced C and C++ 5 questions 2 marks each Aptitude 10 questions 1 mark each ‘Around 1500 students appeared out of which only 250 got selected for next round. Round 2: Competitive coding in our campus labs offline. Duration ~3 to § hours There are five questions to solve.Even if you solve 3 you will get into next round.Anyone can solve 2 questions so question selection is important here.They observe the following in code : Quality Modularity Boundary test cases Efficiency The questions range is hacker-rank’s medium level and some are easy.No language restriction but Java, is preferred.Some invigilators won't accept to use inbuilt functions and libraries. Round 3: System Design and Development.Duration ~ 3 to 5 hours Our task was to implement Kanzo Interpreter .It’s basically 5 Levels, in each level we have to build a module which leads to final task. Modularity of code is very important Cleanliness of code Boundary Conditions They won't expect complete implementation, they observe the approach.Chances for next round are very high if the mentor likes your code. Again language is not a restriction but Java is preferred and expected by them. Zoho Interview | Set 1 (On-Campus) First Round: (Aptitude written round) This round consisted of two sections “Reasoning Aptitude” and “Technical Aptitude”. Reasoning section was more like puzzles so do concentrate on nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor logical puzzles. Technical Aptitude dealt more with “operator precedence”, “pointers”, “iterations”, “dynamic memory allocations”. Second Round: (Normal Programming round) 1. Print the word with odd letters as Pom RA OR G uM Given a set of numbers like <10, 36, 54,89,12> we want to find sum of weights based on the following conditions 1.5 if a perfect square 2.4 if multiple of 4 and divisible by 6 3.3 if even number OR RA Pp 2 And sort the numbers based on the weight and print it as follows <10,its_weight>,<36 ts weight><89,its weight> Should display the numbers based on increasing order. 3. Save the string "\WELCOMETOZOHOCORPORATION” in a two dimensional array and search for substring like "too" in the two dimensional string both from left to right and from top to bottom maOO PONO w M ° R T -vime ooode And print the start and ending index as Start index : <1,2> End index: <3, 2> 4. Given a 9x9 sudoku we have to evaluate it, for its correctness. We have to check both the sub 315311115123, 146M matrix correctness and the whole sudoku correctness. 5. Given a two dimensional array of string like <"luke”, “shaw"> <“wayne”, “rooney”> <"rooney”, “ronaldo”> <"shaw’, “rooney”> Where the first string is “child”, second string is “Father”. And given “ronaldo” we have to find his no of grandchildren Here “ronaldo” has 2 grandchildren. So our output should be 2. Third Round: (Advanced Programming Round) Here they asked us to create a “Railway reservation system” and gave us 4 modules. The modules were 1. Booking 2. Availability checking 3. Cancellation 4, Prepare chart We were asked to create the modules for representing each data first and to continue with the implementation phase. Fourth Round: (Technical Round) Technical question which revolved around “data structures” and “OOPS” Fifth Round: (HR round) Some general hr questions asked mainly about our projects and about certifications if we had one. Zoho Interview | Set 2 (On-Campus) Recently Zoho visited for the campus placement. | would like to share my experience to geeksforgeeks because of which | got this offer. Thank you geekforgeeks & Zoho On Campus Placement Process 1) First Round : Written 40 C output questions. 2 Hours. 30 1Mark and 10 2Mark questions. IT WAS NOT MCQ. The questions were challenging and covered all C concepts. 2) Second Round : Coding nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor Around 150 students shortlisted for this round. It was a local machine coding round. A staff will be assigned to a group of 5 students. He made note of the time took for solving each question. There was totally 7 questions and | solved 4 questions and did not complete the Sth question. 1) Alternate sorting: Given an array of integers, rearrange the array in such a way that the first element is first maximum and second element is first minimum, Eg.) Input : {1, 2,3, 4, 5, 6, 7} Output : {7, 1, 6, 2, 5, 3, 4} 2) Remove unbalanced parentheses in a given expression. Eg.) Input : ((abc}((de)) Output : ((abe)(de)) Input : (((ab) Output : (ab) 3) Form a number system with only 3 and 4. Find the nth number of the number system. &g,) The numbers are: 3, 4, 33, 34, 43, 44, 333, 334, 343, 344, 433, 434, 443, 444, 3333, 3334, 3343, 3344, 3433, 3434, 3443, 3444 4) Check whether a given mathematical expression is valid Eg.) Input : (a+b)(a*b) Output : Valid Input : (ab)(ab+) Output : Invalid Input : ((atb) Output : Invalid I don’t remember the Sth question. 3) Third Round : Advanced Coding A matrix game was given with 5 rules. We were asked to implement each of the rules separately. R3|-- =| R2|- - =| 415311115123, 146M R1]- - -1 ca Each of the 9 cells can either be empty or filled with an atom. R3, R2, Ri are the rays that originate from the left. C1, C2, C3 are the rays that originate from the bottom of the box. Input : Position of the atoms and the rays that gets originated from the outside of the box. Eg.) 3 31 22 13 3 RBC1C3 Output : Print the box. Rule 1: A ray that has an atom in its path should print ‘H’ (Hit) If it does not have any atoms in its path, the ray should pass to the other side. a 3 R3|- - -| R3 HI- xX =| Ri|- - -[R1 clH 3 Rule 2 & 3: A ray that has an atom in its diagonal adjacent position should refract. Input rays: R1, R2, C3 HI- xX =| R2|- - -|C3 [==] R23 Rule 4: A ray that has atoms in both of the diagonal adjacent positions should reflect back. Input ray: C2 nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor Input ray: R2 Ilex RI-- [ex - Rule 5: The deflection of rays should happen in the order of the input rays. Input Rays: R3, R2, C1, C3 HI- xX -1 R2|- - -| 3 I= =] R23 The final task was to implement these rules for dynamic matrix size Input : no of rows, no of columns Eg.) 4.4 (row & column) 2 (No of atoms) 4.4 (Position of atom) 22 (Position of atom) 2 (No of rays) Rd C2 (Ray number) The final task was very confusing and it had to handle all the cases. There are chances for a ray to end at the starting position if the number of rows and columns are more than 5 4) Fourth Round : Technical Interview Basic questions fram hashing, searching, sorting, JVM, OS, Threads. In-depth questions from the projects that | mentioned in my resume. So don’t just add projects that you are not thorough enough to answer all questions. And a simple puzzle : (x-a)(x-b)(x-c)....(x-z) = ? 515311115123, 146M 5) Fifth Round : HR General HR questions like why zoho, how do you see yourself after 5 years, why did you choose CS/IT stream, tell me about your leadership skills ete, Zoho Interview | Set 3 (Off-Campus) Hil!

The next round took place on the next day ROUND 3: COMPLEX CODING(3 hours) 1) Design a Call taxi booking application -There are n number of taxi’s. For simplicity, assume 4. But it should work for any number of taxis, The are 6 points(A,B,C,D,E,F) -All the points are in a straight line, and each point is 15kms away from the adjacent points. -It takes 60 mins to travel from one point to another -Each taxi charges Rs.100 minimum for the first S kilometers and Rs.10 for the subsequent kilometers. -For simplicity, time can be entered as absolute time. Eg: Shrs, 15hrs etc. -All taxi’s are initially stationed at A. -When a customer books a Taxi, a free taxi at that point is allocated -lf no free taxi is available at that point, a free taxi at the nearest point is allocated. -If two taxi’s are free at the same point, one with lower earning is allocated -Note that the taxi only charges the customer from ‘the pickup point to the drop point. Not the distance it travels from an adjacent point to pickup the customer. -If no taxi is free at that time, booking is rejected Design modules for 1) Call taxi booking Input 1: Customer ID: 1 Pickup Point: A Drop Point: B Pickup Time: 9 Output 1; Taxi can be allotted, Taxi-1 is allotted Input 2: Customer ID: 2 Pickup Point: B nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor Drop Point: D Pickup Time: 9 Output 1: Taxi can be allotted. Taxi-2 is allotted (Note: Since Taxi-1 would have completed its journey when second booking is done, so Taxi-2 from nearest point A which is free is allocated) Input 3: Customer ID: 3 Pickup Point: B Drop Point: C Pickup Time: 12 Output 1: Taxi can be allotted. Taxi-1 is allotted 2) Display the Taxi details Taxi No: Total Earnings: BookingIO CustomerID From To PickupTime DropTime Amount Output: Taxi-1 Total Earnings: Rs. 400 1 1 AB 9 10 200 3.3 BC 12 13 200 Taxi-2 Total Earnings: Rs. 350 2280 9 11 350 These were just sample inputs.

And also need to solve the constraints very fast, since you know what you have done in your program. After finishing the program always explain the logic, behind it and the constraints about the processing and how you solved those constraints to the technical people. 1) To form a structure which has few elements: struct product { char productname[20]; int product_price: int product_id; } Get the product name, price and id and display the product name and price in descending of the price. 2) For the same above structure, now add another structure which is the category. That category will have products in it. Struct category { char category_name|20]; int cat_id , According the category get the product name, product price and id, then display all the products category wise in descending order. 915311115123, 146M 3) For the same structure which as category and product, get the category id from the user in the product structure and save to the category list. Then display them all in category wise. 4) A sheet full of data will be given with inventory stock list, which as different categories and different products as input with category capacity and product availability in the structure. Now we need to add a new category or new product with capacity and availability. Need to check whether the product availability is exceeding the category capacity, if yes the output rack is full or else tell how much free space is available and add the product to list 5) Constraints in the above in question will be given, need to solve all the constraints, so that the Technical HR gets satisfied. After these rounds, if they get satisfied, they will call you for Technical HR, followed by General HR. If you solved every single question and you were really fast in problem solving, then HR interview will be easy. Or else HR interview will be very tough especially the Technical HR (The Technical HR round as lots of logical questions) Zoho Interview | Set 5 (On-Campus Drive) Round 1: Questions based on aptitude (10) and ¢ program output (20) Time 2hr.

Round 5: General hr: As usual stuffs like personal info and about projects and why zoho? Zoho Interview | Set 6 (On-Campus Drive) Zoho visited our campus in the month of July. First round: 15 apti and 15 c output questions. No negative marking and no multiple options. Believe me, this is the only way to avoid people coming into the next rounds based on luck Second round: 5 programming questions, they were easy Q1. Given dates in day,month, year order sort them, nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor Q2. Given a string of integers find out all the possible words that can made out of it in continuous order. Eg: 11112 ans: AAAAB AKAB AAKB AAAL ete, Q3: Find whether a given number is magic number or not. It is something which gives same digits even after cubing it Q4: something related to rotating an array. 5: Given two numbers and an operation either + or —, perform the operation. Now remove any zeros if present in the two numbers and perform an operation. See if the result obtained is same or not after removing zero’s in the original result. Third round: 5 questions based on maze. Q1: Given a matrix dimension find the shortest path between two points. Q2: shortest path between two points and a ‘monster is present. So we have to avoid the monster and take a shortest path or die. Q3: print the maze step by step. Qa: same as Q2 but trigger is present so we can take the trigger to shoot the monster anywhere in the maze. QS: this is the tricky part. There are many holes in between. we should avoid them and take the shortest path. Fourth Round: Tech interview. Mostly who got selected to the interview got placed. Simple questions, puzzles, oops concepts, some general os and other computer science related questions. 1118311115123, 146M Fifth round: Tech interview. Questions on projects, internship and again simple questions on oops, dbms etc. HR round: This is just a formality. Zoho Interview | Set 7 (On-Campus Drive) Here is my experience in zoho campus drive. It was a two day process Day 1 Round 1: Written Test One and half hour time containing 15 aptitude questions and 15 c programming questions. In aptitude all topics like time and work, ratio proportion, mixtures, work , boats and streams, number sequences were touched. They were pretty easy. When comes to C.. the questions were basically on finding the output of the given code.. u need to have strong fundamentals on pointers, strings, preprocessor directives, enums, unions and structures. Round 2: A 3 hour programming round. (offline method) Once u complete a question, it shall be verified for given sample test cases and 4 or 5 pre verified test cases. To get the next question every test case has to be solved. The questions were challenging and explanation was good the various questions were 1. Cyclic number verification 2. Sorting dates 3. write a code to solve given mathematical expression 4. generation of unique number from any random number 5. given a number u need to print all combination of aphabets for that number the results were announced around night nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor Day 2: Round 3: pure programming round, We were asked to design a code (its almost a game without any graphics) the question shall be divided into modules and each shall be verified for 7 to 8 test cases. when first module is done only then u can get the second and important thing is all the modules are inter related our question was a dungeon game. An adventurer, A monster, A trigger, A treasure, Pits these are the components. The size and location shall be given in run time. Adventurer must reach treasure fast than monster else he dies (Hint: use absolute of distance) around 5 to 6 modules were present and 3 hour time. Round 4: Abr interview along with 2 technical interviews the unsolved questions related to apti or program in previous rounds shall be asked along with some puzzles, areas of interest, why zoho ? once u clear third round there is a 75% probability that u are in. Zoho Interview | Set 8 (On-Campus) ROUND 1: Aptitude questions — both Quantitative aptitude and in programming. they were NOT cas ROUND 2: 1. Arrange the numbers in descending order depending on the no. of factors available for each number, VP: 6,8,9} O/P: {8,6,9} or (6,8,9} Reason; factors of 8 (1,2,4,8), factors of 6 (1,2,3,6), factors of 9 (1,3,9). 1215311115123, 146M 2. Two strings of equal length are given print the mismatched ones, ye:abcdefghi abdeeggii 0/P: cd , de //when two char are mismatched they should be printed together. fe hii 3.

The candidate has to write the output for C programs and basic aptitude questions. Total 30 questions. Test duration was of 3 hours. nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor Description: There were altogether 20 questions from C programs and 10 questions from logical aptitude. Questions from ¢ programming basically focus on pointers (single pointer and pointer-to-pointer) manipulation, 75% of questions from pointers and rest from arrays and strings manipulation. The questions from logical aptitude was of moderate level difficulty ranging from probability to speed distance time calculations. Both section same marks weightage. | solved 13 from C and 7 from apti. Second Round: They shortlisted approx 40 students for the second round. The mail came after 15 days from first round, It was coding round, programming questions on their laptops in groups of 10 students in each room. Test duration was of 3 hours. The test was on 1 Feb 2016. Description: There were 5 questions. The instructor will check the code after solving each question, they may ask for reducing time/ space complexity, be ready for it. 1. Spiral printing. oye 4aaaaaa 4333334 4322234 4321234 4322234 4333334 4agaaaa 2. Sort the array alternately i.e first element should be max value, second min value, third second max, third second min. Eg: arr[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7} O/P: {7,1,6,2,5,3,4} Note: no extra space and time complexity should be less; 3. Print all the substring of the given string. 4, Print the numbers which are mismatched from two array. Arr1 = {abcdefghi} arr =(abde eg gill, O/P-cd, de, f, 2, hi 1395311115123, 146M 5. Print all possible combinations from the given string The candidate who solved at least four out five are selected for next advance coding round. Third Round: Third round was followed immediately after completion of second round. 50% candidates were selected for this round which consists of advance programming question. One full fledge project consist of 7 modules which has to be done on their laptops. Test duration was of 3 hours. Test was on 1 Feb 2016 Description: There was one question for each candidate. 1. Develop a railway project which consist of 7 requirements modules. The modules includes booking of railway tickets, cancellation, route option, fare calculations, allotting/dealloting berth, coach position. Some other questions given to students were online billing and shopping. The instructor may ask to change the requirements run time, you should be ready for it. Fourth Rount Fourth round was followed immediately after completion of third round. It was face to face interview round in which technical and HR questions were asked. Interview duration was of 20 mins for each student. It was on same day. Description: This round consist of face to face interview, they asked questions from Java collection framework and core java. Questions related to course project was also asked, Finally, all the round were finished at 8 pm. Zoho Interview Experience | Set 9 The interview took place for 3 days, consisting of S rounds, The procedure is as follows: Round I: This round is a basic round as usual for any interview. It is an offline written test consisting of 40 questions i.e. 30questions related to c language and 10 on aptitude. The round was taken by nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor around 600 students. Only 72 got selected for the next round Round Il & Ill: The next two rounds have a set of questions to be coded in c language. Round Il has 11 questions i.e. 1(a)-1(f), 2, 3(a), 3(b), 3(c), 3(d). | did my best to reach up to 3(b) and qualified for the third round. Out of 72, 22 selected for the next round. Round lll is yet another round of coding. It started at 9:30am and continued till 9:30pm with a break of 1 hour for lunch. The total number of questions are not known but I finished till Sth question when | got a call for my TR round. Round IV: This round is a typical technical round wherein I'm interviewed about my project details, my coding skills as well as my web designing skills. The questions were on Java, C, HTML, CSS, basic PHP. Round V: It’s a typical HR round where I'm asked to solve some logical puzzles. Some basic HR questions are asked along with few questions on Java. Zoho Interview Experience | Set 10 (Off-Campus Drive) The Following rounds were held. Round 1: The first round was held on Jan 10, 2016. ‘The round one contained 30 questions with a duration of 3 hours. There were 20 c apps and 10 logical apps. The ¢ apps consisted of mostly of pointers. The remaining were questions from arrays loops and macro definitions and function calls Round 2: The remaining rounds were held on Feb 1, 2016. The round 2 was programming round with S questions, Question 1: Given two sorted arrays output a merged array without duplicates. Arrayl: [1, 2, 3, 6, 9] Array2: [2, 4, 5, 10] Merged Array: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,9, 10] 1415311115123, 146M Question 2: Given a sliding window of size k print ‘the maximum of the numbers under the sliding window. Example: Consider a sliding window of size k equals 3. Let the array be [3,2,7,6,5,1,2,3,4] the output should print 7 as the first output as first window contains {3,2,7} and second window contains {2,7,6} and so on and the final output is {7,7,7,6,5,3,4} Question 3: Given a array with n elements print the number of occurrences of that number each number in that array. The order of number doesn’t matter. You can reorder the elements. Example : [2,1,3,2,2,5,8,9,8] Output: 23 a4 B41 51 82 91 Question 4: Enter two strings from command line and check whether any substring present in first string that follows the pattern of second sting.. They asked to implement regular expressions for * and backslash without built in functions. “abcd” “a*ed” answer : yes "aaa “a*” answer : yes “atc” “a\*c” answer:yes “adsd” “ad” answer:no Question 5: They gave a passage and the output should be printing out the number of occurrence of each word and the indices it occurs without using string matching The passage given was “jana Gana Mana” and so on.. and we have to print number of jana and it’s indices.i.e at which position it occurs. J have completed first and Sth program. The programs were not of equal weight-age. 4th and Sth were given more weight-age. They gave importance with the way of approach. Another guy solved the first 4 programs but he is not selected because of his inefficient code. And | got selected nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor to the next round just because of the appropriate data structure and logic the applied. Round 3: This round contained of advance programing but the logics were easy but they gave more importance to the modularity, Object oriented approach and things like that. They asked to create a simple console based application for e commerce. Two user's admin and customer with different functionalities were given. The Customer has to buy items then if discount is applicable for that product he can redeem it and he can also view the Order history. The Admin can add new items and so on. Round 4: This round concentrated on technical interview and tested how deep you are goo in the subject. They tested whether | am good at what | have put on my resume. Two staffs interviewed me separately and it lasted for approximately 1 and a half hours. Round 5: This round was HR round and just the background details about myself were asked. It lasted for ten ‘minutes. Zoho Interview Experience | Set 11 (On-Campus) It was an on campus recruitment. Round 1: It had 30 MCQ questions. (20 questions from C aptitude and 10 from general aptitude). It was a written round, which lasted for 2 hours. Round 2: It was a programming round, which had 6 questions. The questions were solvable if one has, some basic knowledge on fundamentals of programming. It was not conducted in any online judges/tools, The code/output were verified manually. Those who solved 4 questions were selected. Also those solved 3 questions and got the approaches right for any other question were also selected Round 3: 1515311115123, 146M It was application development kind of programming round where we were asked to develop any application which supports some list of use cases. We were asked banking application with 12 use cases. In this round, the design which we create and the object oriented concepts which We use were monitored. Preferably we were asked to use an object oriented language to code, but those were not good in C+ or java, were also allowed to use procedural language like C. Round 4: It was a face to face technical interview where the rerviewer will test your understanding on basics of core subjects of CS. For those who were not from Computer science or Information technology department, they asked only fundamentals of programming and general aptitude, logic questions. Round 5: It was HR round. It was concluding round for formality. It was more like a friendly chat for me. Zoho Interview Experience | Set 12 (On-Campus) Recently ZOHO visited our campus for recruitment and i would like to share my experience. Thanks to geeksforgeeks which contributed to ‘most of my preparations. Round 1: TIME : 2hrs | was expecting an aptitude written round .But they gave us 30 flowchart and asked us to go through each flowchart and the questions were based on the flowchart. Questions included finding the o/p of the flowchart , find the missing statement which when added produces the given o/p..if you concentrate and go through the flowchart it should be easy to crack the first round. Round 2: TIME : 3hrs They shortlisted 150 candidates from the first round..This was a programming round and consisted of straightforward questions.. L.Given two numbers a and b both < 200 we have to find the square numbers which lie between a and b(inclusive) nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor eg) i/p a = 20;b = 100; o/p 25,36,49,64,81,100 2.Alternately sort an unsorted array. eg) i/p {5,2,8,7,4,3,9} o/p {9,2,8,3,7,4,5} 3. Given an array and a threshold value find the o/p eg) i/p {5,8,10,13,6,2};threshold = 3; o/p count = 17 explanation: Number parts counts 5 3,2) 2 8 {33,2} 3 10 3331) 4 B 33,331) 5 6 {3,3} 2 2 {2} 1 4.2. Given two binary numbers add the two numbers in binary form without converting them to decimal value. eg) a= 1010 b = 11001 o/p 100011 b.The two numbers were given in basen eg) a= 123 b=13 n=4 o/p 202 5.Write a program to print the below pattern forn=6 2 8 13 17 20 20 9 14 18 4 10 15 5 it 6 6.Given bigger NxN matrix and a smaller MxM matrix print TRUE if the smaller matrix can be found in the bigger matrix else print FALSE 7.Given two matrices a and b both of size NxN find if matrix a can be transformed to matrix b by rotating it 90deg , 180deg , 270deg if so print TRUE else print FALSE 8 In addition to the above question you have to check if matrix a can be transformed by mirroring vertically or horizontally to matrix b. 1615311115123, 146M | solved 7 questions .. Those who solved more than 5 were selected for the next round. Round 3 : TIME : 3hrs About 50 - 60 were shortlisted .. T also a programming round.. Questions were based of matrix transformation.Each question was an extension of the previous question in some way..There were 5 questions .. | solved only 2 fl But got selected for the next round , | think it was based on my performance on all previous rounds.. round was Round 4: We had both HR and technical HR. In technical HR if they found out that a candidate was not sure on some topic the candidate was asked questions on that topic for the rest of the round even after the candidate said he does not know that concept . In my case it was DBMS E The round also consisted of 3 puzzles ..they were easy to solve, i solved all of them.. In HR round we had a friendly chat ..They didn’t want candidates who were willing to quit the job after a few years and go for higher studies( obviously )..| was asked about my family and my hobbies. After round 4 we had to wait for almost 5 hrs before the results were announced..There were 2 packages x and xty... was offered the x package mostly because i didn’t do round 3 well but they said that if we prove ourselves during the internship they would change the package to x+y so looking forward to that & Overall it was a good experience and i really appreciate ZOHO team for the amount of effort they invested in the interview process each round was both challenging and enjoyable in its own way Zoho Interview Experience | Set 13 (On-Campus) The selection process is based on S rounds which lasted for 2 days. Round 1 and Round 2 held on the nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor first day and the remaining rounds held on the second day. Round 1. It contained 30 questions (20 C aptitude + 10 general aptitude). All the questions are in fill the blanks format. No MCQs. Round 2 It contained 5 programming problems You're given an array. Print the elements of the array which are greater than its previous elements in the array. Input : 2,-3,-4,5,9,7,8 Output: 25 9You should solve this question in O(n) time. You're given an even number n. If n=4, you have to print the following pattern 44444334 4334 4444 If n=6, then the pattern should be like this : 666666 655556 654456 654456 655556 666666 You're given a number n. If write all the numbers from 1 ton in a paper, we have to find the number of characters written on the paper.For example if, n=13, the output should be 18 if n= 101, the output should be 195 A number is called as binary-decimal if all the digits in the number should be either ‘1’ or ‘0’. Any number can be written as a sum of binary- decimals. Our task is to find the minimum number of binary-decimals to represent a number.Input : 320utput : 10 11 11 1715311115123, 146M Input : 120 Output: 10 110 You're given a string as an input. You have to reverse the string by keeping the punctuation and spaces. You have to modify the source string itself with creating an another string. Input :A man, in the boat says : | see 1-2-3in the sky Output : ykse, ht ni3 21ee sisy : a sta o-b-e ht nin amA, Level 3 : (Advanced programming) We were asked to develop a mini-project ‘Invoice Management’ with the following modules 1. Add a customer 2. Add an invoice 3. Add items to an invoice 4, List all customers 5. List all invoices 6. List all invoices of a customer 7. Display the full details of an invoice Level 4: (Technical HR) Questions were mostly based on Database Management. The other areas include Data Structures and Operating Systems. Some of the example questions are : What is referential /, Explain outer joins : Left outer join and right outer join, What are holes in OS etc.., Level 5: (General HR) Some blah blah questions. They also give me puzzles while | was solving level 2 programming questions. After all these rounds nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor only 2% of people survived. Hope it helps all. Good luck. Zoho Interview Experience | Set 14 (On-Campus) The selection process consists of 5 rounds and there were almost 350 people came for the process. Round 11 This round consists of 15 c questions and 10 aptitude questions and won't be in MCQ format. Questions from c will be bit more difficult and it takes extreme understanding of c concepts to solve it. They will cover arrays, strings, pointers and functions mostly (90 % of questions). Focus on “output of c programs” in GeeksForGeeks and GeeksQuiz. There will be 28 sets and if you go through all sets then it is more than enough to clear the test. When it comes to aptitude questions, they will ask basic questions and basic hands on at quants and logical will get you through. They will give more priority to c questions rather than aptitude questions. So, focus on ¢ part more. | cleared 11 c questions and 3 aptitude questions. They called me after 1 week and believe me there were only 27 people cleared this round. Round 2: This round consists of 6 competitive coding questions and you need to solve at least 4 to get you through 1) Given a number, convert it into corresponding, alphabet. Input Output 1A 2% 2 27 AA 676 Zzz 2) Given a Roman numeral, find its corresponding decimal value. 1815311115123, 146M https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/converting-roman- numerals-decimal-lying-1-3999/ 3) Write a program to print all permutations of a given string. Note here you need to take all combinations as well, say for the input ABC the output should be as follows: Input: ABC Output: A BC AB AC BA BC CA CB ABC ACB BCA BAC CBA CAB 4) Write a program to rotate an n*n matrix 90,180,270,360 degree. https://www. geeksforgeeks.org/inplace-rotate- square-matrix-by-90-degrees/ is the solution for rotating a matrix 90 degree. For rotating the matrix 180,270,360 degree, uneed to call the same method 2,3,4 times based on the input. 5) https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/reverse-words- in-a-given-string/ 6) Write a program to convert a number into a mono-digit number. Conditions: a) You are allowed to add and subtract the consecutive digits (starting from left). b) You are allowed to do only one operation on a digit. ©) You cannot perform any operation on a resultant, digit of the previous operation. d) Your code should also find if a given number cannot be converted to a mono digit number. Input Output 72581 7(2+5)81 778-1) 7 3962 cannot create a mono digit number 8 people cleared this round. They didn’t see any optimization in this round. Simply, completing 4 or more questions will get you through to the next round, The interviewers helped us to find some rare corner cases too if we miss anything nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor Round 3: We were asked to design an application program for n*n tic-tac-toe game. Here, you are expected to code with proper standards and in a most optimized way. And, in this round you need to find all the edge cases and corner cases yourself. The interviewers won't help you if you miss anything So, make sure you covered all the cases before showing output to the interviewers. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/implementation- ofttic-tac-toe-game/ Only 2 people cleared this round. Round 4: First of all, they asked me to explain the logic | have implemented for the previous application programming. Then, they asked me some oops questions, static keyword, difference between array list and linked list. Then they asked me to write 2 query for inner join, left join and right join, Finally, they asked me 2 puzzles to solve which are as follows: Uhttps://www.mathsisfun.com/puzzles/hourglasse s-2-solution.htmlz 2) http://www geekinterview.com/question_details/4 6800 Itwas only me who cleared this round and the other one didn’t make it. Round 5: HR round is just for formality and they asked me some typical HR questions like tell me about yourself, why zoho, will you go for higher studies, your salary expectation and finally they selected me. Zoho Interview Experience | Set 15 (Off-Campus Drive) It was an off-campus drive. More than 1000 people appeared for the drive, ROUND 1: 1915311115123, 146M This round had 15 aptitude questions which were easy. The hint is you have to think logically and apply basic maths. And also 10 C output questions which were tough. Only 1596 of people survived for programming round Those who didn’t clear first round went for Content Writing role. ROUND 2: This round had 5 easy programming questions. 1) Given an array, find the minimum of all the. greater numbers for each element in the array. Sample: Array : {2, 3, 7, -1,8, 5, 11} Output: (253,35, 708 >2, 8-211, 57, 11>} 2) Find the largest sum contiguous subarray which should not have negative numbers. We have to print the sum and the corresponding array elements which brought up the sum. Output: Sum : 14 Elements: 3, 2,9 3) Given a string, we have to reverse the string without changing the position of punctuations and spaces. Sample: house no : 123@ cbe Output: ebc32 10: nes@ uoh 4) Given a 20 grid of characters, you have to search for all the words in a dictionary by moving only along two directions, either right or down, Print the word if it occurs. sample azol nxho nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor vyiv orse Dictionary = {van, zoho, love, are, is} Output; zoho love Is 5) Given a string, change the order of words in the string (last string should come first). Should use RECURSION Sample: one two three Output : three two one Should solve atleast 3 problems......Around 30 students cleared this round ROUND 3: This was an application development round. The application was TOLL PAYMENT PROCESSING They insisted us to do it in a object oriented language. First they asked the design( what are all the classes and objects & what data structure do you use). Application description: There are ‘n’ number of points in a highway out of which some points collect toll. Each toll has its own charging scheme according to the vehicles and whether or not they are a VIP user. If they are VIP user, 20% discount apply. If the vehicle passes 3 toll gates, it has to pay in all the 3 toll gates according to the scheme of respective tolls. There were 4 modules. 1. Given the details of vehicle type, start and destination.....display the total toll paid during the journey and print the amount after applying the discount. 2. Display the details of all the tolls....ike what are all the vehicles(vehicle number) passed that respective toll and the amount each vehicle paid.....and the total amount charged in 2083,11115123, 146M that toll 3. Display the details of all the vehicles .....like what are all the journeys did it take....the start and destination of the same....tolls it passed during that journey....amount paid in that journey.....and the total amount paid by that vehicle. 4, Assume the highway as a circular path.....We have to find the short route and identify the tolls between that route and calculate the amount. After this round , only 7 students survived for the next round. ROUND 4: it was a technical round. It was more than an hour for me and it was very tough. Questions were mainly on Java and DBMS. How jdbe connects with database(steps)....why we need a driver to do that...and also he asked me to design that driver.....how Resultset processes the result. How will you query to get all people details from aadhar database....what are all the challenges? And some queries on JOINS. Asked me to solve some first round aptitude questions.....and asked me about the previous programming rounds, ROUND 5: GENERAL HR 1 Asked about my family, my project, my previous interviews i attended, my cutoff in HSC, do you smoke?, what is the salary of your father, what is your strength and weakness character-wise. nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor ROUND 6: GENERAL HR 2 Asked the same questions asked in HR 1....what went wrong in all the previous interviews....are you interested in higher studies....if not why?.....what is your long term goal. Any finally 6 of us got selected Zoho Interview Experience | Set 16 Round-1 (aptitude test) This was unlike other aptitude tests. It contained output based questions. Questions were mainly based on logic and loops. Round-2{coding) ‘They gave questions one after the other. Initially it was easy, then ,the difficulty level increased. The first one was to check whether a year is leap year and the last one was to sort numbers based on digits starting from most significant numbers. Eg input-100 1 11 2123. Output-1 100 112213 Each question was a continuation of the previous one, so its good if code is written as function. Round-3 This was also coding round. They asked us to develop a train reservation system. Here also each question was continuation to the previous one(better to write code as function), The task was to write a program to book a ticket, cancel, add to waitlist.... Some constraints were also given, Round-4(personal interview) They Asked about classes, private constructors, garbage collections, sql , puzzle(1,7,26,?) Round-S In this round, they asked about kernel, some puzzles , print letter ‘X’ using ‘An array contains values between 0 to n-1. Task is to find the duplicate numbers with time complexity ‘o{n) and space complexity o(1). (Use hashing on the same array- add n to a value if the index has already been visited). Zoho Interview Experience | Set 17 Round 1. 2118311115123, 146M First round is a written test. This is different from the other company written tests which | had faced till now. This round consists of 20 C output questions and 10 aptitude (logical) questions. To clear this round one should have a deep understanding about the concepts of C programming language; mainly pointers, array and string manipulations, loops. We have 28 sets of C output questions available in the given link httos://www.geeksforgeeks.org/category/program -output/. The other 10 questions not only consists of aptitude but also logical questions. To attempt the aptitude questions, we have http://www.indiabix.com/aptitude/questions-and- answers/. | think these two links is good enough to clear the first round, Round 2: This is a coding round. We are given 4 programming questions which have to be done in a very optimal way. To clear this round, one should attempt at least 3 programs 1. Given an odd length word which should be printed from the middle of the word. The output should be in the following pattern Example: Input: PROGRAM. Output: G GR GRA GRAM GRAMP GRAMPR GRAMPRO 2. It isa program to implement Least Recently Used (LRU) concept. Given a key, if it is already existed then it should be marked as recently used otherwise a value should be stored which is given as input and marked as recently used. The capacity is to store only 10 key, value pairs. If the table is full and given anew key; the key, value pair which is not recently used should be deleted which gives feasibility to store the new key, value pair. 3. Given a few pairs of names in the order child, father. The input is a person name and level nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor number. The output should be the number of children in that particular level for the person given. Example: Input U {Ram, Syam}, {AKil, Syam}, {Nikil, Ram}, {Subhash, Ram}, Syam 2 Output: 3 (Syam has Ram and Akil in level 1. and in level 2 he have Nikil, Subhash, Karthik. So the answer is 3), 4. Given an array of positive integers. The output should be the number of occurrences of each number. Example: Input: {2, 3, 2, 6, 1, 6, 2} Output: q-1 2- 3- 6- Round 3: This is an advanced programming round. The task is to develop an Invoice Management. The main focus in this round is in designing part. We should mainly focus on the data base part. How we are going to design the tables to store data and how we are going manage the data plays an important role. Itis better to refresh DBMS concepts before attending the ZOHO placements. Techtud videos on DBMS in youtube helped me a lot to understand basic concepts of DBMS. Particularly, in this round think in the aspect of ER models (Tables, attributes, primary and foreign key etc). After designing part they gave us two queries. Here, the coding part should be done in a very optimal way. Based on the query, from the data we stored, the result should be printed. I did in C 2218311115123, 146M language but better to implement in any OOPS language. Round 4: This round is a face to face interview. | had been interviewed nearly one and half an hour. Nearly 45 minutes, they asked about my project which is done in Java using servlets. They asked to design all, the database tables which | have used in my project. They asked about the extensions of my project and asked how I'm going to implement. They also raised a problem in my project and asked which concept I will use to solve the problem. Another 45 minutes they asked about some other TR questions, my family background and some HR questions. Round 5: This is just a formality round. They asked about the relocation, why you prefer ZOHO and some other basic HR questions. At last, only 4% of the people survived. Zoho Interview Experience | Set 18 (On-Campus) Number of days ~2 Total number of students applied - 250 Round 1: 15 C Output and 10 Normal Aptitude. 10 C Output- 1 Marks 5 C Output- 2 Marks 10 Normal Aptitude — 1 Mark 28 sets in geeks for geeks is more than enough for getting through this in addition to basic general aptitude competence. MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL THE 28 SET. Thats all i did and | found the test very easy. Question were mostly pointers, arrays, loops and strings. No questions had any sort of compile errors and most likely answers will be a single number or a string or a character. General aptitude consisted of age problems, speed, ratios etc. Normal level of competence would be enough to get through this. POINT TO NOTE :- The 2 mark C questions attend them first and double check them they will save your life and dont even’ nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor skip one set from geeks for geeks they are very very good, cant stress this enough.

Its tagline for intake is also that the candidate should be passionate about coding(programming). Everyone from our college could attend, even with backlogs also. The only thing is he should be good at programming. nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor They said us to assemble at 9:00 AM ROUND-1: | expected to write the outputs of the program but the scene was different. They gave every question on loops and control flows. They gave us Ihr 30 min to solve 45 ques. 22 ques were on loops and we should write the output from the program, each ques is the same routine. Next 23 ques were the flow charts and we need to write the output. We are given rough sheets and they are taken back. they gave us the results in the afternoon. ROUND-2: | was not selected for round 2, but of my friend shared his experience. This round was coding round we are given systems and a C IDE. the invigilators give us the ques and we need to solve them one by one, after solving one we are given the next ques. each ques is. interrelated somehow. after solving around 6 to 7 ques we are announced qualified fr the next round. ROUND-3: This round is an application development one of my friend was asked to develop an program such that accepts all the cases of the railway reservation. We need to handle booking, cancellation, user priority and no of seats left etc. almost we have 2 hrs or more to deal with that. my friend was unable to deal with it. all our program will be visioned by the members of Zoho. ROUND-4: They ask us several ques and test our programming knowledge. ROUND-5: After our 4th round they asked us to come to Chennai. there they take one more filtration and give us the call letter with a package of 6.5lakhs.

Zoho Interview Experience | Set 20 First, | would like to thank geekforgeeks for providing me with the previous inten questions. \ applied through employee referral. First round was held at a college in Thirunelveli on 8th January, 2017. It consisted of 20 C aptitude questions and 10 general aptitude questions. These questions concentrated on control flows. Good knowledge in loops and recursions is enough to clear this round. Since the questions were in C, We need to know the basics of pointers as well. Around 5000 people attended this round, And only around 50 people were selected for further rounds. Second and third round, We were asked to solve simple algorithm questions. People who didn’t do well were sent out on the spot. Questions were from Arrays and String manipulation. Around 10 people cleared this round. Fourth round was technical HR. Since | am from Automobile Stream, He didn’t ask many questions in coding. He asked a few puzzles. He was nice and helped me solve the puzzles. Then | was sent to general HR. She asked why Zoho? Why didn’t | try to get a job in the past 8 months after the completion of my degree? And salary Expectations. After this round They told me that they will contact me in two days.

Some of them were sent to incubation if, they weren't convincing for the HRs. Questions were from Java, Data structures, approach for the given scenario, databases, and logical apps. General HR Simple questions like why Zoho, any other current offers, about Zoho, about family, why did you choose CSE, higher studies,... Zoho On Campus Drive | Set 24 (Software Developer) Zoho had visited our college to recruit software developers. There were two types of salary package offered and also internships. 3115311115123, 146M These were the rounds: Round 1 — Online Test There were 30 questions. 15 aptitude and 15 coding related (from C) Aptitude was quite simple but the coding questions were really challenging. ‘The cut-off was pretty high as this was a round meant for mass filtering, Round 2 Coding This was a hands-on coding round with 8 questions. You could use C, C+ or JAVA Most of the questions were easy: Given 4 integers as input. Find whether they would form a rectangle, square or none. Insert an element at a particular index in an array. Some were average: Given a large number convert it to the base 7. Given an IP address validate it based on the given conditions. Sort parts of an array separately using peak values. Some were a bit challenging: Given an input array, find the number of occurrences of a particular number without looping (use hashing) Diamond pattern printing based on some conditions Given an array of characters print the characters that have ‘n’ number of occurrences. If a character appears consecutively it is counted as 1 occurrence Eg:abaabccded Here a has only 2 occurrences Round 3 & 4— Advanced coding: In these rounds we were asked to implement the logic for 2 games - Minesweeper = Breakout a.k.a. Arkanoid a.k.a, Brick-Breaker (you'll find it online) nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor The game was split into various stages and we were asked to implement the logic stage by stage. Interviews: A few interviews followed. Some of which was just to get to know you. One interview had a few puzzles. And one was an official interview with a lead HR fram Zoho Those who did really well got the higher package and those who just missed it also got the job with a lower package Some were offered internships. Overall it was a challenging process. Those with strong logical and coding skills would make it Zoho On Campus Drive | Set 25 (Software Developer) Zoho visited our college to recruit people for software developer role in September 2017.

Example: if user request to move from 4 to 2 ,and if LBis in Sth floor & LS is in 3rd floor, then we should assign L3 because user requested for downward motion so L3 ill move down from Sth floor 5. Restrict L1 & L2 for 0-Sth floor , L3 & L4 for 6- 10th floor , LS for 0-10th Initially all lifts are at Oth floor. 6. Assign lift with least number of stops Example IFL3 is in 9th floor And LS is at 8nd floor If user wants to move from 8 to.0 We should assign L3 because L3 ill stop at 8,7,6 and then 0 NumberOfstops = 3, but Ls ill stop at 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 and NumberOfStops = 8 so we should assign 13 7. Assign capacity (Number of people capable to travel) to all lift and assign according to the capacity 8. If any lift is under maintenance then their current position should be marked as “-1” and that lift should not be assigned at any cost. Round 4 and 5: Interview (technical and HR) In technical interview some puzzles and programming questions were asked. In HR interview some basic HR questions were asked, Zoho Interview Experience | Set 28 (Off Campus Drive The whole process took 5 Rounds and 2 days. Round 1: The first round was the pen paper based round, It had 15 Technical questions and 10 Aptitude Questions. In technical question they asked questions on code output generally from C and a bit from Java too. 3515311115123, 146M Question were based on different topics like Loops, Pointer/Double pointer, Arrays etc. Aptitude is not as easy as some mass recruiters you will have to dig in a bit to get the answers. My Aptitude went really bad but Technical went really awesome. And was luckily shortlisted for the next round. Out of some 1000 people some 100-200 people were selected for the next round. Round 2: So this is the phase where actual hands on coding begins. | was given one string based question pretty easy for someone who is good with competitive programming, Few were again filtered out in this round Round 3: Now this is the one of he most challenging round in Zoho process. They asked to programme three questions, and all three were of really good standard. At first look | thought Ok, this is where my journey to zoho ends. But somehow after thinking about the questions and writing numerous cases and algos over and over again. | got output for all three questions. This round went for about 3-4 hours. Many people again got filtered in this stage again. Round 4: Now this is the final coding round where everyone was given one big coding question which they had to implement using OOPS concepts(Just the basics) People were given ample amount of time to complete this coding round. | got and Employee management system. It was distributed in 5 different stages in which you have to implement each stage one after the another. A peron from zoho will be monitoring you from the beginning till end, he also asked me to implement 6-7 extra functionalities in the system apart from the ones that were mentioned in my question.d Round 5: So this was the Technical interview It generally revolved around my resume. So whatever you write on your resume some questions will be designed on that and also nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor Zoho Interview Experience | Set 29 (Off-Campus for Software Developer) Round 11 First round was technical aptitude with 40 questions ~ 20 programs and 20 flow charts (Time 2hrs). | was shortlisted for the second round and got a mail. Round 2: Second round was programming round . It was an offline programming round for the entire day. We get the next program only if we finish one. They had their own test cases. We can code the programs in C, C++ or Java. They had programs related to prime number ~ print n prime numbers prime factor ~ sort the array based on the minimum factor they have. adding a digit to all the digits of a number eg, digit=4, number = 2875, o/p= 612119 form the largest possible number using the array of, numbers. lexicographic sorting. given a set of numbers, and a digit in each iteration, if the digit exists in any of the numbers, remove its occurrences and ask for the next digit till the list becomes empty. Check if a number ‘a’ is present in another number ’, | forgot the other 4. Complexity is not an issue. ‘As soon as | finished 11 programs, they told me to come the next day for third round, Round 3: It was again @ whole day of coding . This time all the questions were based on matrix. | got 6 programs, again you get the next program after you complete the current program. All the 3615311115123, 146M programs were just an addition to the previous one. Here the concepts to be strong about were logic for diagonals ( all the four, top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right), finding the path in a matrix from source to destination. Make sure that the design of your code is good so that iterative additions become easy. After this on the Round 4: The HR team was really good. They make you fee! comfortable. The HR asked me some puzzles related stuff and one algorithmic question. He wanted to see how i could optimize the complexity. Then i was told to wait and again was called for the next Technical HR immediately, Round 5: Here i was told to print a pattern, puzzles, and some questions about myself were asked Then i was called again by another Technical HR. Round 6: Here i was asked about data structures . | was told to implement a binary search tree in C. After this | was told that if iam selected, | will get a call for the HR round | got call the next day and was called at the office for HR. Round 7: The HR was very cool and he wanted me to be comfortable . He asked me questions from the resume and i was told that i would receive a mail if i get selected. nipstoszinfoldoc-view-2 PDFs vewor Zoho Interview Experience | Set 30 (Off-Campus for Software developer) Round 1: Pen and paper round having 40 technical questions including flowcharts and output prediction for C Programs with no choices. No negative marking and I’ve attended only around 30 questions. Round 2: | was called for round 2 after some days. It’s a full day coding round. | was given a paper having the problem,test cases and i need to implement them in c. Questions were given one after another after i implement each problem. After solving each problem they tried all possible test cases. For me all the questions were from linked list counting around 14 at the end of the day.some of them are, Finding middle element, Sorted insert, reversing LL, merging 2 LLs in sorted, removing duplicate elements and so on. All of the above should be optimized in terms of, time complexity because they will also check the logic behind our code, Round 3: | was asked to come to next round on the end of round 2 itself. Yet another full day of coding. In this round i need to implement a game in C, that’s well known as ‘Tetris blocks’. It involves full of matrix operations. | completed nearly around 75% of the game. After this | was asked to implement the Binary Search tree-insert,search,delete Technical interviews: While implementing the 3rd round game, i was called for 2 technical interviews. | was asked to write algorithms and also some technical questions,puzzles were asked. some of them are, Separate Os and 1s in single array traversal Finding the largest palindromic sub word in a given word 3715311115123, 146M Finding height of a binary tree Java oops concepts including abstract classes, interfaces,inheritance tree/graph traversals How arrays are working at system level in ¢ Puzzles on probability, number digits HR round: After one week, i was called to their office for the general HR round, | received my offer after one week and now | am doing my internship at Zoho. Zoho Interview Experience | Set 31 (Off Campus) Nothing hard as such was asked in ZOHO off campus recruitment held in January. Most of the question are from pointers and arrays types. For this c output questions have to be prepared well from geeks section itself. For the second part that is the aptitude part mostly the questions were from puzzles that are their is geeks puzzles section, problems on ages, probability, time and word. Study hard the questions are such that if you are familiar with all the concepts of arrays, string and pointers then any one can crack the first round. Zoho Interview Experience | Set 32 (On-Campus) Round 1: Zoho CRM team visited for on-campus.There were questions based on c apps (15), general apps (10).Test for about 1 and half hrs.
