NIC Scientific Officer/Engineer-SB (Programmer)

Hi all

I am writing this blog after some verifications with my friends which might be useful to some one .

This time it is completely objective type

One of my friends has written this exam last year and he told me that we can except questions from

the following subjects

• Java
• C++
• Database
• Linux
• Unix

As far as I know NIC Does lot of Maintenance/Creating Govt. Websites . So we can except questions in Web technologies and Databases.

I also Took syllabus from another link . Which might be helpful too

Data structures:

Notion of abstract data types, Stack, Queue, List, Set,
String, Tree, Binary search tree, Heap, Graph;

Programming Methodology:

C programming, Program control (iteration, recursion,
Functions), Scope, Binding, Parameter passing, Elementary
concepts of Object oriented, Functional and Logic Programming;

Algorithms for problem solving:

Tree and graph traversals, Connected components, Spanning
trees, Shortest paths; Hashing, Sorting, Searching; Design
techniques (Greedy, Dynamic Programming, Divide-and-conquer);

Compiler Design:

, Runtime environment, Code generation, Linking (static and
dynamic); Operating Systems
: Classical concepts (concurrency, synchronization,
deadlock), Processes, threads and Inter-process
communication, CPU scheduling, Memory management, File
systems, I/O systems, Protection and security.

Databases:

calculus), Database design (integrity constraints, normal
forms), Query languages (SQL), File structures (sequential
files, indexing, B+ trees), Transactions and concurrency
control;

Computer Networks:

(Ethernet, Token ring), TCP/UDP, IP, Basic concepts of
switches, gateways, and routers
COMPUTER HARDWARE

Digital Logic:

Combinational and Sequential circuits; Number representation
and Computer Arithmetic (fixed and floating point);

Computer Organization:

Machine instructions and addressing modes, ALU and
Data-path, hardwired and micro-programmed control, Memory
interface, I/O interface (Interrupt and DMA mode), Serial
communication interface, Instruction pipelining, Cache, main

All the best in Advance
