Zoho Interview | Set 1 (On-Campus)

First Round: (Aptitude written round)

This round consisted of two sections Reasoning Aptitude and Technical Aptitude. Reasoning section
was more like puzzles so do concentrate on logical puzzles. Technical Aptitude dealt more with operator
precedence, pointers, iterations, dynamic memory allocations.
Second Round: (Normal Programming round)
1. Print the word with odd letters as
P M

R A

O R

O R

R A

P M

2. Given a set of numbers like <10, 36, 54,89,12> we want to find sum of weights based on the following
conditions
1. 5 if a perfect square
2. 4 if multiple of 4 and divisible by 6
3. 3 if even number
And sort the numbers based on the weight and print it as follows
<10,its_weight>,<36,its weight><89,its weight>
Should display the numbers based on increasing order.
3. Save the string WELCOMETOZOHOCORPORATION in a two dimensional array and search for
substring like too in the two dimensional string both from left to right and from top to bottom.

w e L C O

M E T O Z

O H O C O

R P O R A

T I O n

And print the start and ending index as

Start index : <1,2>
End index: <3, 2>
4. Given a 99 sudoku we have to evaluate it for its correctness. We have to check both the sub matrix
correctness and the whole sudoku correctness.
5. Given a two dimensional array of string like

<luke, shaw>

<wayne, rooney>
 <rooney, ronaldo>

<shaw, rooney>

Where the first string is child, second string is Father. And given ronaldo we have to find his no of
grandchildren Here ronaldo has 2 grandchildren. So our output should be 2.
Third Round: (Advanced Programming Round)
Here they asked us to create a Railway reservation system and gave us 4 modules. The modules were:
1. Booking
2. Availability checking
3. Cancellation
4. Prepare chart
We were asked to create the modules for representing each data first and to continue with the
implementation phase.
Fourth Round: (Technical Round)
Technical question which revolved around data structures and OOPS
Fifth Round: (HR round)
Some general hr questions asked mainly about our projects and about certifications if we had one.

Zoho Interview | Set 2 (On-Campus)

Recently Zoho visited for the campus placement. I would like to share my experience to geeksforgeeks

because of which I got this offer. Thank you geekforgeeks

Zoho On Campus Placement Process
1) First Round : Written
40 C output questions. 2 Hours.
30 1Mark and 10 2Mark questions. IT WAS NOT MCQ. The questions were challenging and covered all C
concepts.
2) Second Round : Coding
Around 150 students shortlisted for this round. It was a local machine coding round. A staff will be
assigned to a group of 5 students. He made note of the time took for solving each question. There was
totally 7 questions and I solved 4 questions and did not complete the 5th question.
1) Alternate sorting: Given an array of integers, rearrange the array in such a way that the first element is
first maximum and second element is first minimum.

Eg.) Input : {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

Output : {7, 1, 6, 2, 5, 3, 4}

2) Remove unbalanced parentheses in a given expression.

Eg.) Input : ((abc)((de))

Output : ((abc)(de))
 Input : (((ab)

Output : (ab)

3) Form a number system with only 3 and 4. Find the nth number of the number system.
Eg.) The numbers are: 3, 4, 33, 34, 43, 44, 333, 334, 343, 344, 433, 434, 443, 444, 3333, 3334, 3343,
3344, 3433, 3434, 3443, 3444 .
4) Check whether a given mathematical expression is valid.

Eg.) Input : (a+b)(a*b)

Output : Valid

Input : (ab)(ab+)
Output : Invalid

Input : ((a+b)

Output : Invalid

I dont remember the 5th question.

3) Third Round : Advanced Coding
A matrix game was given with 5 rules. We were asked to implement each of the rules separately.

R3 | - - - |

R2 | - - - |

R1 | - - - |

C1 C2 C3

Each of the 9 cells can either be empty or filled with an atom. R3, R2, R1 are the rays that originate from
the left. C1, C2, C3 are the rays that originate from the bottom of the box.
Input : Position of the atoms and the rays that gets originated from the outside of the box.

Eg.) 3

3 1

2 2

1 3

R3 C1 C3

Output : Print the box.

Rule 1:
A ray that has an atom in its path should print H (Hit) If it does not have any atoms in its path, the ray
should pass to the other side.

C1 C3

R3 | - - - | R3

H | - X - |

R1 | - - - | R1

C1 H C3

Rule 2 & 3:
A ray that has an atom in its diagonal adjacent position should refract.

H | - - - |

H | X - - |

R | - X - |

R H R

Input rays: R1, R2, C3

H | - X - |

R2 | - - - | C3

| - - - |

R2 C3

Rule 4:
A ray that has atoms in both of the diagonal adjacent positions should reflect back.

Input ray: C2

| - - - |

| X - X |

| - - - |

Input ray: R2

| - X - |

R | - - - |

| - X - |
Rule 5:
The deflection of rays should happen in the order of the input rays.

Input Rays: R3, R2, C1, C3

H | - X - |

R2 | - - - | C3

| - - - |

R2 C3

The final task was to implement these rules for dynamic matrix size.

Input : no of rows, no of columns

Eg.) 4 4 (row & column)

2 (No of atoms)

4 4 (Position of atom)

2 2 (Position of atom)

2 (No of rays)

R4 C2 (Ray number)

H | - - - X |

| - - - - |

| - X - - |

| - - - - |

The final task was very confusing and it had to handle all the cases. There are chances for a ray to end at
the starting position if the number of rows and columns are more than 5.
4) Fourth Round : Technical Interview
Basic questions from hashing, searching, sorting, JVM, OS, Threads. In-depth questions from the
projects that I mentioned in my resume. So dont just add projects that you are not thorough enough to
answer all questions.
And a simple puzzle : (x-a)(x-b)(x-c).(x-z) = ?
5) Fifth Round : HR
General HR questions like why zoho, how do you see yourself after 5 years, why did you choose CS/IT
stream, tell me about your leadership skills etc.

ROUND 3: COMPLEX CODING(3 hours)
1) Design a Call taxi booking application
-There are n number of taxis. For simplicity, assume 4. But it should work for any number of taxis.
-The are 6 points(A,B,C,D,E,F)
-All the points are in a straight line, and each point is 15kms away from the adjacent points.
-It takes 60 mins to travel from one point to another
-Each taxi charges Rs.100 minimum for the first 5 kilometers and Rs.10 for the subsequent kilometers.
-For simplicity, time can be entered as absolute time. Eg: 9hrs, 15hrs etc.
-All taxis are initially stationed at A.
-When a customer books a Taxi, a free taxi at that point is allocated
-If no free taxi is available at that point, a free taxi at the nearest point is allocated.
-If two taxis are free at the same point, one with lower earning is allocated
-Note that the taxi only charges the customer from the pickup point to the drop point. Not the distance it
travels from an adjacent point to pickup the customer.
-If no taxi is free at that time, booking is rejected
Design modules for

1) Call taxi booking

Input 1:

Customer ID: 1

Note: Showing output does matter need to show the output as soon as possible. And also need to solve
the constraints very fast, since you know what you have done in your program. After finishing the program
always explain the logic behind it and the constraints about the processing and how you solved those
constraints to the technical people.
1) To form a structure which has few elements:
struct product {

char productname[20];

int product_price;

int product_id;

Get the product name, price and id and display the product name and price in descending of the price.
2) For the same above structure, now add another structure which is the category. That category will
have products in it.

Struct category

char category_name[20];

int cat_id;

According the category get the product name, product price and id, then display all the products category
wise in descending order.
3) For the same structure which as category and product, get the category id from the user in the product
structure and save to the category list. Then display them all in category wise.
4) A sheet full of data will be given with inventory stock list, which as different categories and different
products as input with category capacity and product availability in the structure. Now we need to add a
new category or new product with capacity and availability. Need to check whether the product availability
is exceeding the category capacity, if yes the output rack is full or else tell how much free space is
available and add the product to list.
5) Constraints in the above in question will be given, need to solve all the constraints, so that the
Technical HR gets satisfied.

Zoho Interview | Set 6 (On-Campus Drive)

Zoho visited our campus in the month of July.
First round: 15 apti and 15 c output questions. No negative marking and no multiple options. Believe me,
this is the only way to avoid people coming into the next rounds based on luck.
Second round: 5 programming questions, they were easy

Q1. Given dates in day,month, year order sort them.

Q2. Given a string of integers find out all the possible words that can made out of it in continuous order.
Eg: 11112
ans: AAAAB
AKAB
AAKB
AAAL etc.
Q3: Find whether a given number is magic number or not. It is something which gives same digits even
after cubing it.
Q4: something related to rotating an array.
Q5: Given two numbers and an operation either + or , perform the operation.
Now remove any zeros if present in the two numbers and perform an operation. See if the result obtained
is same or not after removing zeros in the original result.
Third round: 5 questions based on maze.
Q1: Given a matrix dimension find the shortest path between two points.
Q2: shortest path between two points and a monster is present. So we have to avoid the monster and
take a shortest path or die.
Q3: print the maze step by step.
Q4: same as Q2 but trigger is present so we can take the trigger to shoot the monster anywhere in the
maze.
Q5: this is the tricky part. There are many holes in between. we should avoid them and take the shortest
path.
Fourth Round: Tech interview. Mostly who got selected to the interview got placed. Simple questions,
puzzles, oops concepts, some general os and other computer science related questions.
Fifth round: Tech interview. Questions on projects,internship and again simple questions on oops, dbms
etc.

Zoho Interview | Set 7 (On-Campus Drive)

Here is my experience in zoho campus drive. It was a two day process
Day 1:
Round 1: Written Test
One and half hour time containing 15 aptitude questions and 15 c programming questions.
In aptitude all topics like time and work, ratio proportion, mixtures, work , boats and streams, number
sequences were touched. They were pretty easy.
When comes to C.. the questions were basically on finding the output of the given code.. u need to have
strong fundamentals on pointers, strings, preprocessor directives, enums, unions and structures.
Round 2:
A 3 hour programming round. (offline method)
Once u complete a question , it shall be verified for given sample test cases and 4 or 5 pre verified test
cases. To get the next question every test case has to be solved. The questions were challenging and
explanation was good
the various questions were
1. Cyclic number verification
2. Sorting dates
3. write a code to solve given mathematical expression
4. generation of unique number from any random number
5. given a number u need to print all combination of aphabets for that number
the results were announced around night
Day 2:
Round 3:
pure programming round.
We were asked to design a code (its almost a game without any graphics)
the question shall be divided into modules and each shall be verified for 7 to 8 test cases. when first
module is done only then u can get the second and important thing is all the modules are inter related.
our question was a dungeon game.
An adventurer, A monster, A trigger, A treasure, Pits these are the components.
The size and location shall be given in run time. Adventurer must reach treasure fast than monster else
he dies (Hint: use absolute of distance)
around 5 to 6 modules were present and 3 hour time.
Round 4:
A hr interview along with 2 technical interviews
the unsolved questions related to apti or program in previous rounds shall be asked along with some
puzzles, areas of interest, why zoho ?
once u clear third round there is a 75% probability that u are in.

Written, pen paper based. The candidate has to write the output for C programs and basic aptitude
questions. Total 30 questions. Test duration was of 3 hours.
Description:
There were altogether 20 questions from C programs and 10 questions from logical aptitude. Questions
from C programming basically focus on pointers (single pointer and pointer-to-pointer) manipulation, 75%
of questions from pointers and rest from arrays and strings manipulation. The questions from logical
aptitude was of moderate level difficulty ranging from probability to speed distance time calculations. Both
section same marks weightage. I solved 13 from C and 7 from apti.
Second Round:
They shortlisted approx 40 students for the second round. The mail came after 15 days from first round. It
was coding round, programming questions on their laptops in groups of 10 students in each room. Test
duration was of 3 hours. The test was on 1 Feb 2016.

Zoho Interview Experience | Set 9
The interview took place for 3 days, consisting of 5 rounds. The procedure is
as follows:
Round I: This round is a basic round as usual for any interview. It is an offline
written test consisting of 40 questions i.e. 30questions related to c language
and 10 on aptitude. The round was taken by around 600 students. Only 72 got
selected for the next round
Round II & III: The next two rounds have a set of questions to be coded in c
language.
Round II has 11 questions i.e. 1(a)-1(f), 2, 3(a), 3(b), 3(c), 3(d). I did my best
to reach up to 3(b) and qualified for the third round. Out of 72, 22 selected for
the next round.
Round III is yet another round of coding. It started at 9:30am and continued till
9:30pm with a break of 1 hour for lunch. The total number of questions are not
known but I finished till 5th question when I got a call for my TR round.
Round IV: This round is a typical technical round wherein Im interviewed
about my project details, my coding skills as well as my web designing skills.
The questions were on Java, C, HTML, CSS, basic PHP.
Round V: Its a typical HR round where Im asked to solve some logical
puzzles. Some basic HR questions are asked along with few questions on
Java.
Really, it was a tough interview as only 7 out 600 were hired.

Zoho Interview Experience | Set 10 (Off-Campus

Drive)
The Following rounds were held.
Round 1: The first round was held on Jan 10, 2016. The round one contained 30 questions with a
duration of 3 hours. There were 20 c apps and 10 logical apps. The c apps consisted of mostly of
pointers. The remaining were questions from arrays loops and macro definitions and function calls.
Round 2: The remaining rounds were held on Feb 1, 2016. The round 2 was programming round with 5
questions.
Question 1: Given two sorted arrays output a merged array without duplicates.
Array1: [1, 2, 3, 6, 9]
Array2: [2, 4, 5, 10]
Merged Array: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10]
Question 2: Given a sliding window of size k print the maximum of the numbers under the sliding
window.
Example: Consider a sliding window of size k equals 3. Let the array be [3,2,7,6,5,1,2,3,4] the output
should print 7 as the first output as first window contains {3,2,7} and second window contains {2,7,6} and
so on and the final output is {7,7,7,6,5,3,4}
Question 3: Given a array with n elements print the number of occurrences of that number each number
in that array. The order of number doesnt matter. You can reorder the elements.
Example : [2,1,3,2,2,5,8,9,8]
Output:
2-3
1-1
3-1
5-1
8-2
9-1
Question 4: Enter two strings from command line and check whether any substring present in first string
that follows the pattern of second sting.. They asked to implement regular expressions for * and
backslash without built in functions.
abcd a*cd answer : yes
aaaa a* answer : yes
a*c a\*c answer:yes
adsd ad answer:no
Question 5: They gave a passage and the output should be printing out the number of occurrence of
each word and the indices it occurs without using string matching
The passage given was jana Gana Mana and so on.. and we have to print number of jana and its
indices.i.e at which position it occurs.
I have completed first and 5th program. The programs were not of equal weight-age. 4th and 5th were given
more weight-age. They gave importance with the way of approach. Another guy solved the first 4
programs but he is not selected because of his inefficient code. And I got selected to the next round just
because of the appropriate data structure and logic the applied.
Round 3:
This round contained of advance programing but the logics were easy but they gave more importance to
the modularity, Object oriented approach and things like that. They asked to create a simple console
based application for e commerce. Two users admin and customer with different functionalities were
given. The Customer has to buy items then if discount is applicable for that product he can redeem it and
he can also view the Order history. The Admin can add new items and so on.
Round 4:
This round concentrated on technical interview and tested how deep you are goo in the subject. They
tested whether I am good at what I have put on my resume. Two staffs interviewed me separately and it
lasted for approximately 1 and a half hours.
Round 5:
This round was HR round and just the background details about myself were asked. It lasted for ten
minutes.

Zoho Interview Experience | Set 11 (On-Campus)

It was an on campus recruitment.

Round 1:

It had 30 MCQ questions. (20 questions from C aptitude and 10 from general aptitude). It was a written
round, which lasted for 2 hours.

Round 2:

It was a programming round, which had 6 questions. The questions were solvable if one has some basic
knowledge on fundamentals of programming. It was not conducted in any online judges/tools. The
code/output were verified manually. Those who solved 4 questions were selected. Also those solved 3
questions and got the approaches right for any other question were also selected.

Round 3:

It was application development kind of programming round where we were asked to develop any
application which supports some list of use cases. We were asked banking application with 12 use cases.
In this round, the design which we create and the object oriented concepts which we use were monitored.
Preferably we were asked to use an object oriented language to code, but those were not good in C++ or
java, were also allowed to use procedural language like C.
Round 4:

It was a face to face technical interview where the interviewer will test your understanding on basics of
core subjects of CS. For those who were not from Computer science or Information technology
department, they asked only fundamentals of programming and general aptitude, logic questions.

Round 5:

It was HR round. It was concluding round for formality. It was more like a friendly chat for me.
Overall it was a good interview experience

Zoho Interview Experience | Set 12 (On-Campus)

Recently ZOHO visited our campus for recruitment and i would like to share my experience.
Thanks to geeksforgeeks which contributed to most of my preparations..

Round 1 : TIME : 2hrs

I was expecting an aptitude written round .But they gave us 30 flowchart and asked us to go through each
flowchart and the questions were based on the flowchart..Questions included finding the o/p of the
flowchart , find the missing statement which when added produces the given o/p..If you concentrate and
go through the flowchart it should be easy to crack the first round..
Round 2: TIME : 3hrs
They shortlisted 150 candidates from the first round..This was a programming round and consisted of
straightforward questions..
1.Given two numbers a and b both < 200 we have to find the square numbers which lie between a and
b(inclusive)

eg) i/p a = 20;b = 100;

o/p 25,36,49,64,81,100

2.Alternately sort an unsorted array..

eg) i/p {5,2,8,7,4,3,9}

o/p {9,2,8,3,7,4,5}

3. Given an array and a threshold value find the o/p

eg) i/p {5,8,10,13,6,2};threshold = 3;

o/p count = 17

explanation:

Number parts counts

5 {3,2} 2
8 {3,3,2} 3

10 {3,3,3,1} 4

13 {3,3,3,3,1} 5

6 {3,3} 2

2 {2} 1

4.a. Given two binary numbers add the two numbers in binary form without converting them to decimal
value.

eg) a = 1010 b = 11001

o/p 100011

b.The two numbers were given in base n

eg) a = 123 b = 13 n = 4

o/p 202

5.Write a program to print the below pattern

for n = 6

1 7 12 16 19 21

2 8 13 17 20

3 9 14 18

4 10 15

5 11

6.Given bigger NxN matrix and a smaller MxM matrix print TRUE if the smaller matrix can be found in the
bigger matrix else print FALSE
7.Given two matrices a and b both of size NxN find if matrix a can be transformed to matrix b by rotating it
90deg , 180deg , 270deg if so print TRUE else print FALSE
8 In addition to the above question you have to check if matrix a can be transformed by mirroring
vertically or horizontally to matrix b.
I solved 7 questions .. Those who solved more than 5 were selected for the next round.
