Logica CGM Placement Paper

There were 4 sections,120ques and 60 minutes.

2. analytical ability (questions from sets, and valuation of _expression by changing * to /,+ to - etc)

3. mental ability (questions like cube to divide 729 parts and then colou it and then to count how many of them are colored both the sides, three sides or none, a puzzle)

4. its based on your option (C/C++/JAVA/Testing). I opted for c and questions were mostly from exploring c. a large part of C was from pointer and structure.
after this written there was a communication round very similar to jam session and then it was PI and then offer letter on the spot.
