Morgan Stanley On campus Placement Process @KJSCE

Hi,

I am sharing my on-campus Morgan stanley interview experience-questions here.

  • The placement process in college is as follows:
    1. Based on your preference( C / C++ / Java ) it will be an objective exam. ( only MCQs). Time will be approximately 1 hour.
      1. 30 question of any of the above mentioned language.
      2. nearly 10 questions of Basics Of Computer Science , OS and Data structures. (This is what we had, very high chances that youll may have some modifications.)
    2. After which all of us had a break of 10 minutes followed with online coding round. Depending on which language you selected , you had to code in that language. We had 2 coding problems which were given. I faintly remember one of them which was on car parking, you had to design a solution such that there are 5 floors and each floor had specific limited for number of cars parked. We need to display all the vacant spaces available in each floor and compute cost for each of the car duration it was parked.  
After a few days they will inform who all were selected and usually two to three colleges have further rounds together at thier premises.
    1. After clearing 1st round there will be 1st technical interview.
      1. Questions in this interview will be from your resume ( your projects, tell me about yourself, achievements and every important things mentioned in your resume ). Moderate Difficulty.
    2. 2nd technical interview. (white board coding or writing algos usually there)
    3. HR round
      1. They checks your confident and judges whether candidate will fit in their organization well or not.
    4. Group Assignment.
      1. Different kind of GD
      2. You will be given an assignment that you have to carry out in a group.
        1. TIPS
          1. Be attentive to the details
          2. Take decisions which you can justify
          3. Be Honest
          4. Give everyone fair chance to express their views
          5. Don't dominate
          6. Be gentle.


Additional Comments:
There is some luck involved mostly in the coding part and mcqs some may get an easy code and difficult mcqs or other way round,but you can only blame yourself if you loose it in the interview.and try to be truthful if you dont know a question say that you dont know it.dont try to manage it with what you know.

Start practicing on Codechef.com and solve as many questions as possible.

some companies dont expect you to know everything.but you should be good at some things and should be able to answer questions from it.during interviews your body language matters so be relaxed and go in confident.I think a good month’s preparation will do.

ALL THE BEST. :)

ED Tips : Dimensions for orthographic view


A dimensioned drawing should provide all the information necessary for a finished product or part to be manufactured. An example dimension is shown below.
 
                                                                                                                                                                                          
Dimensions are always drawn using continuous thin lines. Two projection lines indicate where the dimension starts and finishes. Projection lines do not touch the object and are drawn perpendicular to the element you are dimensioning.
All dimensions less than 1 should have a leading zero. i.e. .35 should be written as 0.35 

Parallel Dimensioning
Parallel dimensioning consists of several dimensions originating from one projection line.




Superimposed Running Dimensions
Superimposed running dimensioning simplifies parallel dimensions in order to reduce the space used on a drawing. The common origin for the dimension lines is indicated by a small circle at the intersection of the first dimension and the projection line.
 
Chain Dimensioning
 
Dimensioning of circles

 
(a) shows two common methods of dimensioning a circle. 
 One method dimensions the circle between two lines 
projected from two diametrically opposite points. The second 
method dimensions the circle internally.

(b) is used when the circle is too small for the dimension to be easily read if it was placed inside the circle.

Engineering Drawing Tips : Orthographic projection

Conventional Orthographic Views



Lines on an engineering drawing signify more than just the geometry of the object and it is
important that the appropriate line type is used.
Line Thickness
For most engineering drawings you will require two thickness', a thick and thin line.
The general recommendation are that thick lines are twice as thick as thin lines. 


                                 
A thick continuous line is used for visible edges and outlines.
                                               

A thin line is used for hatching, leader lines, short centre lines, dimensions and projections.


Line Styles
Other line styles used to clarify important features on drawings are

                    
Thin chain lines are a common feature on engineering drawings used to indicate centre lines. Centre lines are used to identify the centre of a circle,cylindrical features, or a line of symmetry.




Dashed lines are used to show important hidden detail for example wall
thickness and holes..


Visible lines takes precedence over all other lines
Hidden lines and cutting plane lines take precedence over center lines
Center lines have lowest precedence







 Example is as shown above.
