Placements and the Stress...DeShaw at PSG-7th july 2010

The companies are finally here at PSG looking for the brightest talents .. I have been getting chances to attend for them .. Not yet placed but I am definitely exposed to a lot of things by now..
Listing the companies i attended for,
7th July 2010- DeShaw
The first "real" company i have ever attended.. The atmosphere at the campus was amazing..It was the first company that visited the campus.. All the nine pointers alone were elligible.. Luckily I was one among them..
The pre placement talk started on time and we were taken through the various products and processes of the company..
This was followed by a written test..
The paper was didvided into three sections..
First was apptitude having 20 ques for 20 minutes.. The questions were really tough and required a lot of skill..
Next was a technical paper, again 20 ques and 20 mins.. Questions were on C,C++, pointers, arrays , Operating System and data structures.. Tough again
The third section required us to write a program in any language. to schedule tennis matches with N players and N/2 tennis courts. The constraints were that each player should play all the other players and no player should play more than one match..

Results were declared and as expected i did not make it..
Few students were selected to the next round of interview and finally 2 of them were recruited..
