▪ ▪ Software Development: - 33 marks - Data-Structures and Algorithms: o Questions based on Arrays, Linked List, Stacks, Queues, Binary Tree, Binary Search Tree , Heaps, Hashing and Recursion. o Searching and Sorting Algorithms along with their Space-Time Complexities o Tree Traversal strategies like Breadth and Depth First Search o Questions based on Data Structures with code snippets - Object Oriented Programming Concepts: Abstraction, Association, Encapsulation, Composition, Polymorphism, Aggregation, Inheritance, Message Passing - Web/Application Development: o HTML5/CSS and Javascript o HTTP/HTTPS, AJAX and REST APIs (get, post, put, delete). o Cookies o Version control systems like Git for source code management. - Software Engineering: o Software Development Lifecycle Phases (Requirement analysis, In-depth planning, Product design, Coding, Testing, Deployment, Post-production maintenance) o Basic Software Testing Concepts (Black Box Testing, White Box Testing, Unit/Integration/ Regression Testing, and UAT). o Design Patterns and SOLID principles. - Databases: o Basic Database Concepts: Relational DBMS, ER Diagram, Transactions (ACID Properties), Keys (Primary, Foreign, Candidate, Alternate etc.), Indexes, Normalization and Joins o Database related question based on: DDL, DML and TCL commands Basic of SQL Functions Views, Triggers and Cursors. - Basic questions based on different types of web application attacks like: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), Injection Attacks, DDoS (Distributed Denial-of- Service), Brute Force Attack etc. o Digital Signatures use case and importance o Public-Private Key Encryption Symmetric and Asymmetric Keys o Digital Signatures use case and importance o Public-Private Key Encryption o OWASP 10 Web-Security Risks o Monolith vs Microservice architecture. 2. Infra Support - 33 marks - Basics of Operating Systems: o System calls, processes, threads, inter-process communication, concurrency and synchronization. Deadlock. Memory management and virtual memory. o CPU scheduling Algorithms (FCFS, SJF, SRTF, Round Robin etc.). o Types of memories: cache, main memory and secondary storage. o Concept of Paging and Page Replacement Algorithms: (FIFO, Optimal page replacement, LRU etc.) o I/O Scheduling algorithms (FCFS, SSTF, SCAN, LOOK, CSCAN, CLOOK etc.) - Basics of virtual machines, storage solutions, and networking components. - Infra related concepts like processors, Clock Cycle, Cache Memory, HDD, SSD etc. - Backup and Recovery practices - Best practices pertaining to security and compliance controls. - Windows and Unix/Linux computing environments. 3.
