ATOS ORIGIN PAPER ON 2nd AUGUST

hello friends myself  praveen  pursuing mca from nit jamshedpur. atos origin visited our campus on 2 august 2007 this company was my 11th company and i got selected in this company. after being rejected by tcs , wipro, accenture, ibm, aricent, keane india(caritor), satyam, patni, itc, globallogic. so never be hopeless one day must come for u.

written exam pattern:-
1. there are three sections (a) quantative apptitude = 30 ques.
                                        (b) logical reasoning = 40 ques.
                                        (c) english = 30 ques.

2. there is negative marking 1/2 (0.5) so be careful
3. there is sectional cutt off in each section. so time management is very important try to solve at least 50% question of each section.
some questions.
(a) quantative apptitude :-(30 question)
quanti questions are easy one r.s. agarwall is more then enough some questions are from percentage, profit and loss etc

e.g 1. two successive discounts are 20% 40% then its equivalent discount
2. if radius of cylinder is incresed by 30%  and height is decresed by 40% then what will % effect on volume of cylinder.
3.The total expense of a boarding house are partly fixed and partly variable with the number of boarders. The charge is Rs.70 per head when there are 25 boarders and Rs.60 when there are 50 boarders. Find the charge per head when there are 100 boarders.
      a) 65
      b) 55
      c) 50
      d) 45
    soln.
a = fixed cost and
k = variable cost and n = number of boarders
total cost when 25 boarders c = 25*70 = 1750 i.e. 1750 = a + 25k
total cost when 50 boarders c = 50*60 = 3000 i.e. 3000 = a + 50k
solving above 2 eqns, 3000-1750 = 25k i.e. 1250 = 25k i.e. k = 50
therefore, substituting this value of k in either of above 2 eqns we get
a = 500 (a = 3000-50*50 = 500 or a = 1750 - 25*50 = 500)
so total cost when 100 boarders = c = a + 100k = 500 + 100*50 = 5500
so cost per head = 5500/100 = 55

4.Amal bought 5 pens, 7 pencils and 4 erasers. Rajan bought 6 pens, 8 erasers and 14 pencils for an amount which was half more than what Amal had paid. What % of the total amount paid by Amal was paid for pens?
       a) 37.5%
       b) 62.5%
       c) 50%
       d) None of these
     soln.
Let, 5 pens + 7 pencils + 4  erasers = x  rupees
so 10 pens  + 14 pencils + 8 erasers = 2*x rupees
also mentioned, 6 pens + 14 pencils + 8 erarsers = 1.5*x rupees
so (10-6) = 4 pens = (2-1.5)x rupees
so 4 pens = 0.5x rupees => 8 pens = x rupees
so 5 pens = 5x/8 rupees  = 5/8 of total (note x rupees is total amt paid by
amal) i.e 5/8 = 500/8% = 62.5% is the answer

(5) 2 oranges, 3 bananas and 4 apples cost Rs.15. 3 oranges, 2 bananas, and 1 apple costs Rs 10. What is the cost of 3 oranges, 3 bananas and 3 apples?
a) 10 b) 20 c) 30.45 c) 15
soln. of 5.
2x+3y+4z=15
3x+2y+z=10
adding
5x+5y+5z=25
x+y+z=5 that is for 1 orange ,1 bannana and 1 apple requires 5Rs.
so for 3 orange ,3 bannana and 3 apple requires 15Rs.
i.e. 3x+3y+3z=15

(6) age of mohan,s sister is thrice of mohan,s age then what will be sister,s age if mohan,s age is 4 year at present. some questions are also from data interpreation. i can,t remember other questions but these question certainly give you some ideas. about question level

ATOS ORIGIN PAPER ON 22nd JUNE

Hi guys this is Mahesh from F.R.C.R.I.T.(VASHI) I have attended ATOS ORIGIN placement on 22nd of June at our college. There were about 75 students appeared for this. The rounds of atos placements are as follows:

ROUNDS:  

1: Aptitude test

2: Technical cum HR interview

1: Aptitude test
The aptitude test was bit difficult, but if u r done with R.S.Aggrawal then u don’t have to worry at all. Bcoz all the qns are from time & work, time & distance, profit & loss, probabilities section.

Only 28 student’s r selected from the aptitude round and I was the 28th.  

The next round was of interview.

2: Technical cum HR interview  

The technical cum HR interview was taken by the two people together

The interview was dam cool. It goes as follows:

Int: Hi, tell me something about urself.

I: told

Int: Tell me something about mini projects that u have mentioned in ur resume.

[* This is most certain question so study Ur resume properly and only mention those things that u really know well enough. They will ask u that in depth. Don’t just write stupid hobbies like reading, dancing unless u r really dedicated to those. *]

I: explained  

Int: Tell me the difference between ASP and AWT

I: Told

Int: How can u get the label of the button pressed in java?

I: Tried to explain [ans: using ae.getActioncommand () function].

Int: Tell me your strengths and weakness

I: Told

[* The most obvious weakness is: I hardly say no to anyone Strengths: punctuality, positive approach, I never give up.*]

Int: Tell me any recent example of ur last strength.

I: Told him about how I reach college just two days ago through heavy traffic by taking lift from several guys.

Int: Tell something about our organization

I: Told the annual turnover, branches, their clients etc.

Then he told me to add two zero’s to the turnover told by me.

Int: Then ask something similar qn but I didn’t understood.

I: I don’t know sir.

Int: Why? U was not listening to our ppt in the morning.

I: Yes sir, I was there, but the AC was so high so I couldn’t concentrate.

Int: So what u r going to do in our organization .We have centralized AC in all our offices.

I: Sir, I will ask my father to get an AC right now at our home.

All three of us start laughing. At that point I felt I got a good chance of getting selected. Then he asks me if I want to know anything about their organization. If they ask u this question, believe me u r 95% selected.

I asked couple of qns. Then he just said best of luck.

ATOS ORIGIN PAPER ON 19th JULY AT MUMBAI

This site has helped me a lot so I had to do this!!!

3 sections are logical, quant ,verbal...
for logical section do puzzles frm rs agarwal verbal non verbal........assertions, data suffeciency,
go through GRE tutorial sites on net(one of my questions(puzzles 5 marks)
there are 45 questions in logical section--Cutoff might be 10(just a guess)

Quant-- keep it for the last section to be solved it is tugh........but rs agarwall is enough....do percentage, numbers, diatance time speed stuff, simple intrest and compound intrest and any thing u find important.
there 25 questions.sectional cutoff was 5-6 i think cause i had solved only 7

Verbal....... dont do the paragraph stuff in that cause its time consuming.....normalyy they ask...antonyms synonyms...fill in  the blanks...meaning of underlined phrase .......and there  was somthing like this
worship::sacrifice
find  word pair  having similar  relationship from the options given....(there were 5 such questions)
flash cards and baron might be enough but if u have good vocb this is the esiest section..
