Answer / shadow

Hi everyone,
when i gave the exam last year i didn't get any help on net
regarding this NIC exam and performed badly. as i didn't had
anything to kill time i noted down the questions for all u
people's help.
the paper was objective and i have noted down the area from
which questions were asked
sorry but it is random order, but they are always asked from
these areas as these are all the areas available in computer
stream haha.
here it is
-van neuman archi.
-addressing of 8085
-spool device
-concurrency control protocol
-normal form
-transitive dependency
-FDDI
-topology
-Metadata
-ethernet
-multiplexing
-quadrature
-loop back address
-encryption
-OFDM
-integration testing
-3,4-D array in assembly
-B-tree
-paging
-functional cohesion
-standalone in LAN
-LAN intrinsic
-LAN aware
-LAN ignorant
-WEP
-algo---> RC4, RSA, DES
-boundary value analysis
-IDE
-infix and all
-vocabulary of program
-RAID
-high speed USB
-shareware
-processes--> kill, children, identity
- masking - subnet
-segmentation
-Semaphore- wait and signal
-priority scheduling
-binary tree
-hash function
-BFS, traversal, DFS
-signal handler
-merge sort
-spiral model
-COCOMO model
-RSA algorithm
-buffer overflow
-hit ratio
-SQL queries
-dependencies and canonical cover
-relational algebra
-serial and serializability
-SNR
-sampling rate, quantization
-DTE
-routing---> random, directory
-packet flooding
-message switching
-bit error rate
-size of data download, test cases
-Mc Cabe's cyclomatic complexity
-Non-preemptive scheduling
-synchronizing processors
-page replacement algo
-layers
-back up types--> LAN SAN NDMP
----------------------------------
believe me, there were no subjective questions, this was the
almost sequence of questions, and if there is overlapping it
is because repetition of topic.
i assure u prepare this and u'll be through
get in NIC and go make some good govt. sites man

Answer / nidhi agrawal

Hi Everyone,

I am Nidhi Agrawal. I have appeared for the NIC written Test
today- 14th Nov, 2010. So, I am sharing my memory of
questions, their options and their probable answers with
you.

The paper was quite simple and basic. I did MCA, and its
been around 2 years. So, I do not really remember what I
studied. But, if I could have given this paper just after
completion of MCA, so could have performed better.

Now, let me come to the point.

The paper was completely Objective.
Part-A: 75 Qs- 1 mark each
Part-B: 25 QS- 3 mark each
Negative Marking- 1/3 of the marks allotted to each Q for
every wrong answer.

- Only Qs from computer science subjects were there.
- The Subjects from which Qs were asked:
- Software Engineering
- COCOMO Model Practical Qs (2-3 Qs)
(KLOC, Person Year, Effort Estimation)
- What is done, after coming in Implementation phase:
a) Declare Implementation
b) Implementation Planning
c) Select Tools
d) ...
I chose c option.

- DBMS
- Which of the following SQL statement is correct?
a) SQL query automatically eliminates duplicate
b) …

- C++
- Output Q
class A {
public:
int i;
void run() {
cout<<”run of A”;
}
void fun(){
run();
}
}

class B {
void run() {
cout<< “run of B”;
}
}

main()
{
B b;
b.fun();
}
what will be the output?
1) run of A
2) run of B
3) run of A run of B
4) run of B run of A

- If classA is friend of classB, classsB is friend of
classC, then-
a) classA and classC are friends
b) classA and classC are not friends
c) …

- C language
- Output Qs ( a ++ + b--) (2-3 Qs)

- Data Structures
- Graphs, trees, sorting complexity
- Prepare B tree of order 3
- Cyclomatic complexity

- TOC

Q. Which of these is a object based language?
a)Visual Basic
b)C
c)C++
d)Java
Ans- Visual Basic

Q. If (123)5 = (A3)B, what is A?
a) 4
b) 3
c) 2
d) 1

Q. Related to AES- Encryption algorithm

This is all what I can recall.

Best of LUCK to all of you for the written Test and
Interview !!!

Answer / alpana negi

Hi aspirants,
Gave NIC paper yesterday on 14th Nov 2010. D paper was quite
tough. It seems dat dey expect u to be an expert in CS. The
paper was completely objective containing 100 questions. In
2008, it was both objective n subjective but changed d
pattern dis year. The pattern was:

Part-A: 75 Ques- 1 mark each
Part-B: 25 Ques- 3 marks each
Negative Marking- 1/3 of the marks allotted.

The questions were from these subjects:
-Cryptography
-Networking
-Software Engineering
-Linux
-DSA
-Operating System

Don't rely on C, C++, java. There weren't even 7-8 questions
from these 3 languages.

The questions were related to following topics:

--AES
--Stegnography
--RSA(calculate Private key while Public key is given)
--Semaphore, deadlock
--Linux Commands(Differ b/w pwd n PWD, how to remove a
non-empty directory, what is use of cd../..)
--topology
--multiplexing
--B-tree n B+ tree
--infix, prefix, postfix
--RAID
--binary tree
--best sorting algo( options were merge sort, selection
sort, insertion sort...)
--virtual keyword in C++
--friend keyword in C++
--pre increment n post increment in C
--Software cost estimation
--ROI in s/w development
--Vertices in Graphs
--SQL statement(Select True statement, no query related
question)
--JPEG image format
--COCOMO model

Thats all what i can recall. Posted this coz while preparing
for dis exam itself, didn't find any help from anywhere.

Anyways Good luck for ur exam.
