HOW TO CRACK INTO AMDOCS

I would like to share with you my interview experience with one of the most reputed IT firm in Telecom sector i.e."Amdocs"

To start off it was in  Aug 2010 end and after the major recession hit the market and economy had started gathering some pace and which in result did created

some opening in the slump market after almost a year. It wae a open campus in Amdocs and after few days I got mail from Amdocs that I have to attend the

apptitude test in Magarpatta City,Pune where they have there office and they did communicate me about the rounds and the process. There were atleast 4000

students that day for the drive.

That Saturday I had my first round i.e. written round, the office is build up in a very nice location and the infrastructure if the office is very good.
We were seated in a cafeteria and we were to complete our 6 section online written test conducted by some third party for Amdocs. We have to complete our

test in stipulated time of 120 minutes (2hrs.)
The test consisted of the following:

1) It had 6 sections in all and each section has particular time limit and marks.
2) In the entire 6 sections there were around 105 questions
3) You have to complete the test in the time frame allocated to that particular test.
4) There were no negative marking.
5) You cannot come back to the previous section of test as it is time frame compliant.
6) You need to score minimum of 50+% in order to clear this round.
7) It had various sections viz :
a. Aptitude
b. Maths
c. English Comprehension
d. Testing
e. SQL
f. Unix

My personal Advice is that please don't apply for Amdocs if you are not clear with your SQL and UNIX as it is pre condition if you want to be part of Amdocs

as all or major of there projects require these skills.

My results were mailed to me in next 2 weeks (it took this long because of this large number otherwise it takes less) as I was short listed in this round

then I had to go for the second round which was technical interview round. My interview was scheduled at 11am and it almost started on time with two

interviewers starting it off with their introduction and then drilling deep and trying to capture my knowledge about Testing, Unix and SQL. . Please do study

SQL and UNIX as they would not entertain you if you are weak in these areas as it's a precondition to join Amdocs. After that we had 1st round of technical

interview and my interview lasted for almost 45minutes in that they asked me almost everything about C, C++, Testing, Unix and SQL. I think that there was

nothing left to ask about that more in c,java,DBMS. I waited outside and was eager to hear the good news as I was almost certain that I would be able to

clear this as my interview went of pretty well..

Now just one round was left to crack which was HR and Negotiations round my HR round was scheduled in next half an hour and they asked pretty obvious

questions such as :

1) What do you know about Amdocs ?
2) Tell about your few quality traits that can let the organization grow?
3) What all appreciations you have got and for what ?
4) How is it better from your previous organization?
5) Why do you want to join Amodocs?
6) What is your expected salary?
7) Where do you see yourself after 5 years?

And few other HR related questions the HR told me to fill a form and congratulated me for being a part of AMDOCS . One week later they mailed me my offer

letter.

Thanks.
