Hi friends, i am Ankush (MCA) from Panjab University, Chandigarh. Aricent came to PU on 7th July 2008 .. 
The Criteria was 70% in current degree. This time the pattern was totally different from the previous papers
The pattern of paper is as follows:
1. Written test
2. Group Interview
3. Interview (HR + Technical)

Written test:(10:00am)
Written test consists of three parts rather than seven:
1) There were 30 questions of Aptitude (30%) and Reasoning (70%) in 30 mins
they were easy only 4-5 were difficult. i attempted in 20 mins..means time is not a problem i aricent ..
2) Data structures 20 questions in 20 mins. 7-8 was very easy 6-7 average and 3-4 were very tough. i attempted in 15 mins.
3) Choice between C, C++ and Java. 60% students chose C, 35% chose C++ and rest 3 students chose Java and i was among those three students .. it was a 30 questions paper in 30 min .. java was really tough i attempted only 16-17 rest was a fluke(not Blind).
## Remember Sectional cut off was there ##
Finally the result came out and i was selected .. after this all rounds were open for us ..

Group interview:(6:00 p.m.)
then it was the GI round we were 6 students on one side and six on another ..
Topic was "Too much Cricket is killing the Game"
other Topics : "Global Warming", "Junk Food", etc ..

Interview:(1:30 a.m.)
I was the last to be interviewed at 1:30 a.m. and it was gud .. i answered almost 80%... i came out of room at 2:35 a.m.
They will ask u everything: C, DS, NETWORKING, OS, S/w ENGG. && TESTING
i was very Happy ....i thought "ab to ho hi jayega yar...". Result came at 3 a.m.and unfortunately i was not selected ...yet i have given my best Interview
i ll tell u the Reason because i attempted Java and Java paper was difficult and C was very easy and those who were selected attempted C ... Please take care of these things ...
If someone is not good in GI then he can score more in Written and vice versa ...
Wishing U "All THE BesT" ... do well in written because they count all the marks (Written + GI + Interview)
