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:

Lexical analysis, Parsing, Syntax directed translation
, 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:

Relational model (ER-model, relational algebra, tuple
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
and secondary storage.

All the best in Advance

Ten Practical Steps to Keep Your Innovation System Alive & Well

Thursday, October 16, 2008 balaji No comments

1. Remove fear from your organization. Innovation means doing something new, something that may fail. If people fear failing, they will not innovate.

2. Make innovation part of the performance review system for everyone. Ask them what they will create or improve in the coming year and then track their progress.

3. Document an innovation process and make sure everyone understands it as well as his or her role in it.

4. Build in enough looseness into the system for people to explore new possibilities and collaborate with others inside and outside the organization.

5. Make sure that everyone understands the corporate strategy and that all innovation efforts are aligned with it. However, also create a process for handling the outlier ideas that don't fit the strategy but are too good to throw away.

6. Teach people to scan the environment for new trends, technologies and changes in customer mindsets.

7. Teach people the critical importance of diversity of thinking styles, experience, perspectives and expertise. Expect diversity in all activities related to innovation.

8. Good criteria can focus ideation; however, overly restrictive criteria can stifle ideation and perpetuate assumptions and mindsets from the past. Spend the time necessary upfront to develop market and success-related parameters that will take you into the future.

9. Innovation teams are different from “regular” project teams. They need different tools and different mindsets. Provide enough training and coaching so that when people are working on an innovation team, they can be successful.

10. Buy or develop an idea management system that captures ideas in a way that encourages people to build on and evaluate new possibilities.
