“QUEST” (Qualifying Employability Skills Test) :

The Concept:

Finding a good employment opportunity is a great challenge for students.

Furthermore,

students also need a platform to differentiate them in order to get better profiles. On

the

other hand, finding Employable talent at the entry level is a big challenge for the

Employer

Organizations. In order to address these concerns, Timesjobs.com has launched a

program

QUEST to help the Employers hire, pre assessed final year Engineering and MCA

students from

campuses.

QUEST currently assesses students to determine their Learn ability (Aptitude) and Core Domain (Branch) skills. The branches covered through QUEST are Computer Science,

Civil

Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Electrical

Engineering,

Information Technology, and Master of Computer Applications (MCA). For instance a

Computer

Science student will go through a Learn ability Assessment and an assessment on

Computer

Science. Likewise, a Mechanical Engineering Student would undergo an assessment

on Learn

ability and Mechanical Engineering. QUEST is approved and recognized by

Timesjobs.com’s

select clients that have manpower requirements of Engineering and MCA

students.

Timesjobs.com would share QUEST’s scores of the pre assessed qualified students

with its

clients, to help source the desired talent that matches clients’ hiring criteria.

Timesjobs.com has collaborated with S Quotient Analyzers Pvt. Ltd a Noida based

organization

that focuses on Competence Benchmarking and Assessments for conducting these

assessments.

S Quotient comes with a vast experience of having conducted Assessments for

various

organizations in the IT, ITES, Financial Services, Telecom, Retail and Education

Segments.

QUEST would assess students of colleges pan India. Colleges and universities would be

chosen

pan India. Database of the pre assessed students would be available on

Timesjobs.com.

Timesjobs.com would help its clients, which would agree to hire students pre

assessed

through QUEST, with multiple modes of interfacing with qualified students of their

choice.

Clients would have the option of interfacing with students in college or at their

(client’s)

premises.

1. QUEST would be conducted online on Timesjobs.com. 2. Timesjobs.com would store QUEST scores in its database for 2 years from the

date of

conducting QUEST.

3. Timesjos.com would explore interview opportunity with its clients for students

short

listed through QUEST, only during the 1 month from the date of conducting

QUEST.

After the 1 month period, if Timesjobs.com clients wish to interview any short

listed

student (s), Timesjobs.com clients would contact them directly.

4. Timesjobs.com will ensure that minimum two organizations (Cybertech and

Socioffice) will visit campus on 23rd/Sept/2011. The criteria for students as well

as the company profile are

as shared with college in annexure 2.

Role & Obligations of: College/Institutions 1. Student Details of those who are registering to the event will be given

to Timesjobs.com team, well before for execution requirements.

Other terms and conditions: 1. It will be Times jobs Execution team who will collect the payment by DD only

drawn on the mane of “TIMES BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LTD. Payable at Delhi” of

the

amount of Rs. 500/- (Rupees Five Hundred only) from individual candidate

before

allowing them to participate in QUEST.

2. No cheque or cash will be entertained. No credit to participating candidate or

college

will be granted.

3. Cases where college (s) or students are found to be involved in using unfair

means

during the assessment, Timesjobs.com or S Quotient reserves the right to

cancel the

assessment and forfeit any assessment fee paid. 4. The details of the test construct along with the sample questions are as

given in

annexure (A).

5. The sample questions are just to give an idea about the type of questions that

might

be asked during QUEST. They are not necessarily the exact type of questions

that will

be asked during QUEST.

6. QUEST’s results would be stored and displayed on Timesjobs.com after 2

weeks of

conducting QUEST.

7. To qualify in QUEST and to be eligible for interviews with Timesjobs.com’s

clients,

students need to score minimum 50% on QUEST.

8. QUEST scores would be valid for 3 months from the date of taking QUEST. Any

student

who wishes to retake QUEST to improve his/her score can take it only after 3

months

of taking QUEST initially.

9. Cases, where participating organization (s) asks short listed students to appear

for final

recruitment process at their office (s), it would be short listed students’

sole

responsibility to appear for the same on their own. 10. Participation in QUEST does not guarantee employment on its own. It is just

the initial

screening done on behalf of participating organization (s).

11. Timesjobs.com or S Quotient would not be responsible if any participating organization (s) decides to withdraw its participation for any reason at any time before,

during or after QUEST.

12. It would be prerogative of Timesjobs.com and S Quotient to specify the number

of

students to be assessed and the eligibility criteria for QUEST.

4. Take a look at the following piece of code snippet:

char *mystr = (char*)

malloc(100); free(mystr);

strcpy(mystr, ‘helloworld’);

The above code does the following:

Declare a character string variable ‘mystr’ and allocate 100

bytes Release the allocated memory

Copy a string literal to the variable ‘mystr’

Indicate what would be the output of the code given above, given that the ‘free’ function executes successfully and completely de-allocates the memory

allocated to ‘mystr’?

a) malloc is implicitly called and 100 bytes is allocated again, so code executes fine b) Even though ‘free’ function executes fine, it will keep aside 10% of

memory ( 10

bytes) for future, hence code works fine

c) The code will work fine provided the RAM in the programming environment

has got

some space left
