INFOSYS PAPER ON 22nd FEBRUARY AT KOLKATA

Test Location: TICT Rajarhat AndTechno India Saltlake

Hi,friends this is rajdeep banerjee from netaji subhash engineering college,kolkata. here am going to describe my experience in INFOSYS CAMPUS RECRUITMENT DRIVE that was held on 22nd of feb 2008...n i was one of the lucky ones to get selected...

any way first of all friends i wud like to say that don't be tensed about infosys ..bcoz i personaly think that there on-campus recruitment procedure is easier than that of other companies...

Our aptitude test was held in Rajarhat technoindia college...we arrived there at 8a.m from 9-15 the p.p.t(pre-placement talk)started..the person from infosys conducting the ppt was very jolly n smart ..he told us abt infy..its projects n all ...he also asked everyone to say thelogo color of infy ..n told usthat wh'wud give the right answer wud definitely get worth Rs.500...

anyway none of us answered correctly...friends the color is "PANTON 285C"..then we wereasked to go to respective rooms to sit for aptitude test...friendsits consists of two parts one is verbal reasoning n logical ,the other is english..anyway friends be prepared 4 the apti..u can follow verbal n non-verbal reasoning by r.s.agarwal..nu can follow the recent mba entrance papers too...it was easy..the puzzles n quantative reasoning given was not at all difficult..if u ave theability to solve the puzzles ,,then u can do the trick...now in english my advice is to solve cat papers or other mba papers..there were two passages n u have to answer from those..also others were correcting sentence structure..etc..but no synonym or antonym was given i think it's not required 4 infy to practise those stuffs..if u r good in english ..then the the paper was dump easy 4 u..as far as i can remember i correctly answer each one..totally 70 marks apti it was..n 40 marks was 4 english...so practiseit ...anyway timemight be the factor of someone..there was no negaive markng...then the result wasdeclared n i was there...we all then went to Techno India ,Saltlake...honestly speaking i was a bit nervous at that time..though i desparately wanted Infy..4 some reason ....

note that in Infy there's no technical interview...only H.R. interview is there....

when my turn came..i was absolutely tensed.. really my palms were sweating n my heart beatwas growing fast...then i entered. .n hereis the conversation....

Me: Good Evening mam,Madam :thank u rajdeep ..pls be seated..Me: thank u..(n sat with a smile on my lips..)Madam: here i see u have passed from mahesh sri ramakrishna ashram..is it a branch of belur math..?Me: actually it's not directly connected to it..bt it's connected to other missions..n exlained plainly..Madam: tell me abt yourself.... my god that was my question i was very much prepared..told about my qualities..,my participationin cultural progarmmes..how i worked as a team..n how i inspired others..myhobbies at last...frnd don't sayur c.v ..say abt urself ...think about urself ..ur achievements...n say everything good abt urself...Madam: do u like to work as a team member or a team leader..??me: it's always been a pleasure to be a part of the team...n if i can be leader then it'll be cherry over cake...n explained how i worked in local book fair...etc...friends just try to convince them that u r in a position to be a part of the company..uhave the dedicated soul ...etc ...Madam: have u evergot angry...

Me: don't try to fool, them n be honest..alsogive an example how uot angry at a particular situation n for that reason u did a better job..so that negativity of u 'll reflet ur positive personality..that's the trick...Madam: do u read story books..ur fav author...Me: rabindranath tagore...

that was all at last she sighned me a paper nthanked me..irepliedmy thanks...don't shake ur hand..unlessthe interviewer shakes..anyway fortunately i wasnot asked puzzles...bt friends my advice is to get ready 4 the puzzles..those cud be asked any time...

then after 2 hrs of waiting our name was declared..n i was one of thelucky ones...frm our stream(cse)10 were selected... that's all over..absolutely i was very happy.... that'sit..my friendsgetting infy is not the toughest job...u have to believeurself...try to focus on what u r saying..n be positive ..don't show over-smartness ....best of luck to all of the future INFOSCIONS.....HOPE THIS WILL HELP U TOREACH UR GOAL...TAHNK U.

INFOSYS PAPER ON 5th FEBRUARY 2008

Hi friends..this is Ranjan Prakash…BMAS Engineering College, Agra…EC Branch...I attended Infosys on pool campus in HCST, Mathura....and I got through it.....finally....but first of all I wud like to thank freshers world that has helped me a lot to go through the pattern.......there were around 800 students appeared for written and around 120 selected out of which 90 made it for HR…(12 cleared written n 8 got through HR from BMAS Engg.

The logical section consisted of the following question....1.2 puzzle tests of 10 marks… (Just go through QUESTION its more than enough.....)2.5 series figure question of 5 marks (go through QUESTION...NON VERBAL SECTION more than enough3.5 questions on data sufficiency (again prefer question)4.5 question on logical reasoning or syllogism... (Go through question also go through the the cat material).5. Data interpretation of 5 question (Just go through the question aptitude book......it is best as I preferred the same)

English section....... it is as follows1. 2 paragraphs based questions very easy ( try to do it in last minutes as it is very easy u have to just go through it once it is of total 10 marks )2. Correction of underlined sentence very minor difference…5 question3. Theme detection 5 question4. Choose the correct sentence of 5 marks, and5.

INFOSYS PAPER ON 22nd FEBRUARY 2008

Hi, I am Saion Chakrabarti from Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology(TECHNO GROUP) and participated in the Campus recruitment drive by Infosys at Techno India .

The campus recruitment drive consisted of three parts:

i>a ppt presentation ii>Written test iii>HR interview

The Infosys written test consisted of two parts:

1>Arithmetic and Logical reasoning2>English

1>ARITHMETIC AND LOGICAL REASONING1.A cube of 10 cm side was painted with a black border of width 1 cm on all its sides…the rest of the part on the surface of the cube was painted blue…now the cube was cut into 1000 parts…a>how many cubes were uncoloured{options were given}nd likewise questions followed{sorry am not able to remember thm}

2.Figure out the odd figure: simple ones {refer:RS AGGARWAL ,non-verbal reasoning,chapter:SERIES,yeah the pictorial ones}

3.a table consisting of the production of rice nd wheat from 1986 to 1996 was given nd questions followed like:a>ratio of rice production in the year 1989 between the North zone and the west zone.b>find the max. percentage increase in wheat production compared to previous year. Nd likewise questions followed.

4.The question was a PUZZLE….it was something of the genre:-“There r 6 houses on both sides of a road.3 in each row.House A is of green colour nd is beside house F which is just opposite to B……..” now questions followed like: which house is the yellow house,which house is located in the middle nd so on..{Practising the the first two chapters on PUZZLES frm RS AGGARWAL is more than needed}

5.The questions were on syllogism.we had to find out which were logically correct.{My suggestion is not to mug up those laws or even go for those venn diagrams..just go by ur gut feeling nd use common sense}

2>ENGLISH1.There were two big paragraphs,nd questions were asked from them..try them at last bcause they r easy but time consuming.

2.rest were on basic grammar like sentence correction,choosing the right option tht makes the sentence grammatically correct nd so on…{wht I feel is that U don’t need to practice this section,it’s just a test of the English tht u hve learnt frm ur nursery classes}

HR INTERVIEWWell 52 students frm our college cleared the aptitude test..nd the HR was held soon after. Heres an excerpt of my Interview:ME: May I come in Sir.INTERVIEWER: yeah Saion come in nd sit down.Now tell me something about urself, ur background etc.

ME: said.INTERVIEWER: so U were into a lot of xtra curricular activities.wht were u into?ME :sports ..specially long jump nd 100 m nd did a lot of stage-acting at inter-school level.INTERVIEWER: so how many minutes u used to take to run 100m.ME: around 11sec.INTERVIEWER: wow,thts good u could easily go for the Asian record,by the way whts the Asian record?

ME: well,the world record is about 9.74 sec,but sorry sir I don’t remember the Asian record.INTERVIEWER: wht abt the acting? ME: sir it was nothing much serious,it was more pomp than acting,we had a dramatic club in school nd we enacted topics tht were given to us nd we also did a play called “Saving Private Gyan” whch was a spoof on “Saving Private Ryan”INTERVIEWER: U also said tht u love reading books,wht was the last book tht u read?ME: all quiet on the western front.INTERVIEWER: aaaah,All Quiet on The Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque…so is it on World War 1 or World War 2?Me: World War 1 sir!!Interviewer: so how does the book start.Me: saidINTERVIEWER: does it start that way??or does it start “he had fallen forward and lay on the Earth as though sleeping…”ME: it’s the last line sir.{with a smile}INTERVIEWER: Ok,u have read it.Now I have a small problem for U..say if u take a gas balloon to moon wht will happen to it?ME: since theres no atmosphere or air in moon the balloon is not going to rise,but since theres gravity,less than tht compared to Earth, the balloon will start falling at a brisk pace compared to earth.Interviewer: If theres no air or pressure on moon then why will the ballon not keep on xpanding? ME :then the membrane of the balloon will burstINTERVIEWER: let it burst.. why will it not burst? {nd an argument followed}INTERVIEWER: ok leave the balloon..U come frm a civil engineering background,why do u want to come to the IT sector?ME: gave a short speech whch I had prepared with things like “who doesn’t want to join Infosys”…..”I want to b a part of the IT revolution tht has placed India back on the world map as a economy” nd so on..INTERVIEWER :is the IT industry still growing as it used to b?ME: No,everything is not good in the IT sector bcause of the rising rupee but every industry has its ups nd downs nd I believe tht the IT industry will b able to triumph over the difficulties. INTERVIEWER: so tell me wht subjects did u have?ME: saidINTERVIEWER: so whats a rebar?ME: the iron rods used in RCC r called rebars.INTERVIEWER: whts the full formME: reinforcement barsINTERVIEWER: why do asbestos sheets have a wavy structure?.ME: saidINTERVIEWER: say u were to find out how many razors r used in India ,what will u do?ME: Iwill send some ppl to the razor factories nd get the data of how many razors they r sellingINTERVIEWER: say if they don’t provide the data.ME: hmm..then I will hve to conduct a survey by taking a small sample space nd how many razors r being used nd the population of tht area..now I multiply it by the total population nd get an estimated data by taking into consideration various socio-economic factors J{he he}INTERVIEWER :any other way u cud do it?ME: I don’t think it could be done in any other way in a vast country like India .INTERVIEWER: ok correct this form nd sign it.{I wrote same as above in my permanent address section}…now as I was correcting he asked me to name some African countries simultaneously while correcting the form….I started with Nigeria,Kenya….nd ended with Zaire nd Zimbabwe.

INTERVIEWER: wht was the previous name of Zimbabwe ?Me: Rhodesia Interviewer: of Zaire ?ME: Tanganika JInterviewer.. TANGANAIKA…r u sure…??ME: No,sir tht was a guess.{for the ignorants like me:the answer is Congo }

Now he gave me a puzzle of some container containing 3 litres of water nd another 5 litres of water..which I was unable to solve but showed a lot of zeal to solve J

Now he started asking me questions on my school..like wht was the motto of ur school{whch I didn’t remember} nd so on.

And then he asked me wht newspaper do I read..nd cite some news of the last few days…nd then we had a discussion on the mob brutality in Asansol.

Last question was:INTERVIEWER: how was the English paper ?ME: Easy sir!!Interviewer: So wht do u mean by “cold shouldering a person”ME: Ignoring a person.Interviewer: OK,Best of Luck Saion.ME: Thank U sir.

Now there was long wait of 4hrs till our results were declared…about 34 from our college got selected{including me of course}..nd we were asked to get a passport,nd not get a backlog nd not get involved in some criminal offence before joining Infosys.

OK thts it…. best of luck to everybody..nd thnks for going through this long article.{whch also improved my typing speed}.

INFOSYS PAPER ON 26th FEBRUARY 2008

Hello friends!! I am Ankit Dikshit of MIET, Meerut . Infosys, the best IT company visited the campus of GLA, Mathura on 26th feb, 2008. Five colleges including GLA, Mathura as a host, MIET, Meerut, KIT Kanpur, BSA Mathura n one more collge. I didn’t remember the name were invited for pool campus with their approximately 1000 candidates.

The criteria for eligibly of the candidates was 60% through out ( at least 60% in 10th, 12th and Btech agg.). Now I m sharing u my experiences wid infy initialising it with my feeling when I was not selected in the company visited MIET on 10th, I guess.

Just Don’t Forget:1. Believing ur God and urself is best key for success2. Visiting Freshersworld, as I m really thankful to it for reencrypting my success story.3. Spend proper time on resume making, collecting correct information about the selection procedure of the company, as sometimes u might of following old patterns of the company.4. I always say “ It only depends on your single Good Day, Luck Matters Alott!!”We encountered with two rounds at infy, first was written and second HR Round. Written round is basically a rejection round, as only 73 out of 1000 were selected in written, just 7.3% my frn. While HR is the selection round, have selected 60 (50 from MIET, yippy!!!) and even give second chance to remaining 13 those who did not perform well in first HR (acc. To infy ).

Round#1: Written (two sections logical reasoning: ques: 30, time: 40 min And verbal reasoning(english): ques; 40, time: 35 min.) Books: RS Aggarwal Verbal Non Verbal, RS Agg. Apti for Data Interpretaion only, GMAT Barron 10th edition, for English section Not much requirement of shakuntala devi for written, it may sometimes be asked in HR only. Subjects: Logical Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, Topics: Puzzles: In this paper of infy, I encountered with two puzzles in writtenQuestion 1-5. there were 4 girls, A, B, C, D. they decided to divide any of the gift in 4 equal parts. So when uncle of A, bring some cookies for A, she divided them in four equal parts. Then she decided to eat her share, as she was hungry that time. Just after that, B arrives, then she divided the remaining cookies in four equal parts. Then A, B decided to eat their shares, By keeping C and Ds share. After that c arrives n divided that remaining share, again into four parts and eaten their respective shares. Finally wen D arrives, n divided it into four parts and d gets 3 cookies.From this puzzle we get five questions like how many cookies A’s uncle brought? Etc.5 more questions from Another puzzle which was on relation, point to remember is they provide the information in question directly, but many frnz of mine got confused tht how it could b happen?. For example, A, B, C is engineer, doctor and teacher respectively. A’s wife is (bla, bla, bla), so look the word respectively, which was proven excellent for my selection.(practice chapter 6, puzzle test of RS Agg, v-nv reasoning )Five questions on data interpretation pie chat which was on import and export, two pie charts were given (practice RSA Apti, DI section)5 questions on Syllogism, really a scoring and easy section don’t ever think of not practising syllogism. Just go though nine rules of solving these questions from RSA verbal non verbal.5 questions from data sufficiency, I donno from where to prepare it, but prepare this section also, if u can…this was my worst attempt.5 questions from series (picture series), practice It from chapter 1, part 2, of RSA verbal non verbal. It was my best attempt, my funda was just compare the step by step changes in the given figure and put ur logic.Believe me the sections of the reasoning part was easy, u have to be serious for infy’s written coz, written is the round, wher they requires the leat.Now for verbal section u have to make ur basic grammar strong, attempt the given passages in the end. They are time consuming. I found ten questions on two passages, while 10 questions on sentence correction where you have to go through barron, you should an idea of parallism, clauses, tenses and above average vocabulary.10 questions on fill in the blanks, sinlge question on vocab, 5 questions on theme detection (the level was gud, no use of reading the chapter given in RSA, just read Barron for this also).

After this written, I been to my frnz (nigam) place in vrandaban, where I came to know that my written is clear.

Here, I m sharing my tête-à-tête with HR,Me: may I come in sir?Hr: yes, please.(I move inside and simply sit on chair bindass!!)Hr: have I asked u to sit?Me: sorry, sir, my faux pas (really apologize for my this negative decorum and stand on my position)

Test Location : Lovely Professional University, Jallandhar Posted By : Rupinder Pal Singh

Hello everyone... no wasting time on beating about the bush... coming to point, the aptitude paper of Infosys IT sector was NOT tough, the English section WAS.. almost everyone whom i talked after the exam was telling me that apti paper , they cud do. but no one was sure bout english paper the pattern was the one followed more recently in december 2007 and jan feb 2008

they gave 30 ques of apti in 40 mins and 40 ques of eng in 30 mins

apti paper :ques no 1 - 5ques was regarding some sign language, then a sentence was to be translated in that language, very easy ques, no prep for this required

ques no6 - 10sylloligsm based but not the one given in R.S . aggarwal reasoning book.. but practice those questions of logic from this book n u ll be able to solve those ques

ques no 11 -15puzzle based on who teaches which subject and on which day ... relatively tough compared to one given in RS ( i assume everybody is preparing from this book, coz i did and i can say its enough for this test)

ques no 16-20ques on pie chart i recommend , do this one first.. coz its very easy mayb lenghty but in the end u get the accurate result, which is required to build confidence at start of paper..

PS - there is hardly any long calculation involved, just keep on writing percentages like 40% of 30% of 3/12... now this is just a small example, but i hope u got the idea... 300 ;-)

for pie chart ques, do atmost 5 ques from RS but solve each step of those 5 ques and u will master them

ques no 21 -25ques of data sufficency do RS , that will be sufficent...

ques no 26-30choose the next figure, practice atleast 20 to 40 from RS reasoning, understand the logic by reading the answers to those questions

The order of questions may vary coz i got the time to write all this after a long gap and i dont remember the sequence....coming to english paper.... ques no 1-5 and ques 6 -10

comprehension reading....some guys out here feel it should be done at the end but i will say do it first of all because the questions that will follow will kill ur time , because u will just keep on thinking bout those questions and in infy english paper TENSE FILLING questions have almost same options so u will waste a lot of time thinking bout them, and if u will do these at end, u will have less time to think, dont worry .. less time or more time u will arrive to same answer because perception about tenses remain same no matter how much time we spend reading them

In comprehension ques, search para graph wise, like the answer to first question will be in 1st paragraph or atmost in 2nd para... so dont read the whole comprehension, search for KEYWORDS and that also paragraph and question wise..

ques 11 -15give the best sentence to above para which either supports the para or means the same as the para

ques 16-20fill words like "will go/ would go", i mean the most appropiate one

ques 21 -25correct the sentence like a sentence will be given and four options will be given the options will have the above sentence in different forms, u will have to select the one which is technically the most accurate rest ques i dont remember now

LETme give some tipsdo pie chart first of allthen do figure questhen languageand choose the rest order by looking at question paper.

do both the comprehensions at first tick the option in english paper which u think sounds correct, believe ur intutiveness attempt all questions as there is no negative marking

PRAY TO GOD BEFORE STARTING PAPER ( ATHIESTS CAN ALSO TRY )

believe in urself even if u have failed in first 10 companies, its very difficult to do i know but just believe that today is ur day , no matter whathas happened in the past.

after u finish ur paper, the result will be announced in 3 to 4 hours , so relax and cool down ur heels in this time, talk to ur gf, bf in bw or move around with ur friends.... i m not telling this for making this paper funny, it will help u relax a lot, forget the paper and dont discuss the questions... be busy eating or whatever changes ur focus...

but be prepared with ur resume and ur formal dress coz the interview will start shortly after the announcement of the result

i wsnt prepared with my formals , and one of my friend was without a resume and he gave the interview without the resume and he got selected, sincere advice still, take a copy of resume with u

the result came about at 6 pm that day and i was more than delighted to hear my name.In all 250 odd students were selected out of 1300 ppl for interview, from our college 24 managed to go through ...

they will announce the result in decreasing order of marks obtained and IF UR SCORE IS GOOD, the interview is mere formality

well the my interview was at 8 pm , let me tell u my rank in that list was 7th or 8th, so i wasnt the best scorer..

my interviewer was the coolest , among all panel interviewers

INTERVIEW EXPERIENCEI entered the room, asked for a seat and He gave me a attendence sheet to sign he asked me to sign my resume and give it to him then while he started reading my resume, he casually asked me, " tell me something bout urself"

now prepare it well... i said my name is... i m frm .... my branch is .... and then i told him some of my strong points like i m cool and composed under pressure situations when everyone around starts to panic and few other strong points

then he asked me every question based on my resume so i wont mention again n again he asked me what have i done in my 2 months training and interrupted me with a technical basic question then he asked me y i have choosen handball while ppl normally play ckt...then he asked me y i hav so weird hobbies of reading psychology, analysing ppls behaviour , interpreting dreams and being a gadget freak

we had a very long discussion on this topic , for around 8 mins the main point here to tell is that have a resume that says something of u... also u should know every single detail of ur hobbies because they normally concentrate on hobbies show good comm skills, be calm and think before u answer, dont rush for an answer

after our discussion, ( he knew a lot more than me about psychology and dreamsso we had a long chat on it) then he asked me to solve a puzzle, make 100 with 69's ie 999999

even if u know the answer, it is advisable to wait few seconds before u answer... i solved it this way 999/9.99

he was impressed by the simplicity of answer

then he said , ok it was nice talking to u, i would definately like to talk to u again , then i stood up and shook hands with him ... then he asked me while holding my hand, who is the CM of bihar, i answered then he asked, and of rajasthan , i honestly did not know so i said sorry sir, he said its a lady , i again thought for a sec and said sorry again, he said she will love to be analysed by u, icud not answer because i didnot know she was vasundra raje, i never heard of her , to be honest. then he said, ok thank u, and with thank u , i left the room

and i cud guess that i was selected.

when the result came out at aroun 12.40am , those moments were the most memorable ones

18 out of 24 of our college got placed

hope this writing will help more of uto get selected and when u do,dont forget to come up and meet me in mysore.. because i love making friends and helping ppl

this writing is my way of paying back what freshersworld.comowe to me because i read a lot of papers of infy b4 my paper and they helped me a lot, hope this one helps a lot of ppl

my good wishes r with u

INFOSYS PAPER ON 21st FEBRUARY 2008

Myself is Sourav RoyChaudhury,persuing my 3rd yr B.tech from Techno India College of Technology,Rajarhat New Town...and have recently got through INFOSYS.Before I share my experience i like to thank all those who shared theirexperiences in the prvious columns,my parents and to all my well-wishers.

From the very PPT u will learn dat INFY z a very strict and disciplinedcompany and they always demands quality and not quantity...they generally do no cum wid specific number of offer letters.It was around 9:30am (21st feb) our PPT started...it was followed by APTITUDE TEST...around 11am........the results came out in two slots.4 colleges participated in the process(our colg,techno india(saltlake),asansol engg colg and siliguri insti of tech)....We got our results at about 4 pm or so and headed for the interview.1168 participated in the process,206 cleared apti and finally 137 got through(36 from my colg).

APTITUDE TEST: Well its the most difficult section of the whole process,a major eliminating round you can say !! The aptitude test consist of two sections 1.LOGICAL REASONING( 30 QUESTIONS 40 MINS)2.VERBAL ABILITY(40 QUESTIONS 30 MINS)

Der z sectional cut-off in each section its around 60% in LR part and 50% in VA.......no negative marking but there is hit-ratio cut off so never do any kind of blind guessing becuse many many of my frnds got rejected for dat.Put right information on the HR form given at the time of ur apti,I personally found it very confusing.

1. LOGICAL REASONING:Series completion,data sufficiency,data interpretation,1 puzzle,syllogisms,1 problem ( no quanti in INFY)

2.VERBAL ABILITY:logical fill in the blanks,grammar,correct the sentence,sentence ordering,2 huge paragraphs......time management is most important in this section.

GENERAL INTERVIEW:ME:Sir,May IHR : yes cum in,take ur seatme: gud evening sir !!hr: he was an old gentleman about 65 yrs old,he looked at my HR form for about 30 secs and then asked me okk sourav,wat does ur name mean?me: it means fragrance.hr : tell me sumthing abt you which is not mentioned in the hr formme: I am an amicable person,wid a good sense of humour....luv to interact wid people and i m ready to accept any kind of challenges thrown before me.i blv in d principles of honesty and dignity and aspire to make it big in my life ahead.hr: (impressed) well,so why do u think dat u r amicable?me: becuse i hav very good public relationships and i m loved by all in all sphere.....in locality,school,colg etc...hr: he again looked at my hr form n asked is PATHA BHAVAN( I did my +2 frm der) an english medium school?me: yes sir.hr: is it in santinikatan,the famous patha bhavan founded by rabindranath tagore...me: no sir,its in kolkata and its a purely english medium school,it has nothing to deal wid santinikatan.

(rs agarwal type, but more ticky rather than difficult) 6-10, figure probs (too easy, practice some frm rs) 11-16, data sufficiency prob. (rs agarwal sufficient, very easy) 17-20, data interpretation based on bar graph (simple but involves lengthy n precise calculation, better to attempt at last) 21-24, another puzzle (rs type, but try to be attentive for d clues given. It can b a bit tricky n lengthy) 25-30, syllogism ques (too easy, follow d venn diagram method) Time management is very important, many of friends were not able to solve ol d ques. then d ques paper was taken, generally all of u will be able to crack this paper particularlyWithin time given……..u just need to be a bit quick. 2. Englishn english ques paper was given..PLEASE Refer to some CAT material coz its level is really very high n it’s a real time game coz u need to do 40 ques in 30-35 mins the question pattern was ::1-5 , reading comprehension (particularly in my paper it was very tough n lengthy so be prepared) 6-10, reading comprehension (the level in my paper was as for first one but generally second one is given short n easy….n ques given on rc r not direct rather than theme detection type) 11-20, fill in the blanks (pls refer BARRON’s GRE) 21-30, choose correct sentence from 4 given sentences (not easy 1`s so b carefull as there is only a slight difference n u hv to select which is more grammatically correct pls refer WREN n MARTIN) 31-40, u have to choose wich title suits best for d above given paragraph. Be careful for english part coz most of the candidates get rejected here only.. Time management is must!!! Solve RC`s at last..Though I did 2 rc’s in initial13mins (as I hav alwez been strong in comprehension ) & hence got 22mins to solve the rest 30 ques from grammar wich i did at last!!so plan the paper according to your strength!! after d test results were announced in 2 hours, i was very glad to note tat i was selected.. As dere was sectional cut-off which is around 60% for reasoning & 50 % for english, very less students from my college get selected.. After written results, with no time delay HR interviews started. A panel of 6 HR`s came who were taking interview in 6 different interview rooms. Mostly of dem were aged between 40-55. But dey were too gentle to d candidates..but interview of our college students took place next morning in college campus……Mine was a person of around 50. he was nice n asked me some common ques. he gave me 3 puzzles,I am giving ques as wre asked for ur interest…… HR INTERVIEW ME: may I come in sir? HR: yes come in…….hav d seat.

ME: thank you sir. HR: are you having any backlogs? ME: no sir (then he gave me 2-3 forms to write name n sign on) HR: so tell me about yourself? ME: told (in between he asked about my native place n generally there is no technical but he may ask basics of core subjects or summer training or project as frm mine……) HR: what is embedded system? ME: told HR: what are its applications? ME: told HR: what are its advantages? ME: told HR: so your hobby is reading …..which type of books do you read? ME: told HR: which book do you find to be best? ME: ‘WINGS OF FIRE’ by Mr. Abdul Kalam HR: why? ME: told (he gave me puzzles to find volume of a stepler,surface area of spects case n a ques about dice’s edges just try to apply some approch to it.) After then HR: who is president of India? ME: told HR: her husband? ME: sorry sir HR: who is defence minister? ME: (I told it wrong) HR: who is president of Bangladesh? ME: told HR: which type of govt is there in Nepal? ME: told HR: what is going on in America?

ME: sorry sir I don’t know as I couldn’t read newspaper properly for last 3 days preparing for infy. HR: ok fine…..you may leave now ME: thank you sir….hav a nice day.. (n I came out) My interview lasted for around 15mins. All dey chk for is ur communication skills n confidence.. They want persons with excellent communication skills.. N one more thing once u hav cleared d written, almost 75% of ur selection is confirmed. Rejections at HR is less.. So focus well on written part coz its the biggest barrier & once u cross it, u r almost through!!!After the interviews got over, in about 30mins, final results were announced, i was veryyyyyyy glad dat i was selected..Celebrations were ol around as this was d 2nd company in which i sat & cracked it !!!So friends cracking infy is not a difficult task..

Q 1-5 ) this was a simple puzzle ( just go thru d puzzle section of RS AGGRAWAL VERBAL N NONVERBAL )

Q 6-10) these r d figure problems .. very simple ones ...if u hv ever gone thru this kind of probs .. then i belive dat there is no need to practice for it .....o\w do RS verbal n non verbal

Q 11-15) Data sufficiency problems ....refer RS AGGRAWAL QUANTATIVE . this is more than sufficient

Q 15-20) Data interpretation ...... EASY but leghty one ... attemp it in last ...

Q 20-25) problem on syllogism .. practise wid RS verbal n non verbal .....

Q 25-30) it was another puzzle

English ;- It will b quite typical if u r not gud @ basic grammer ... o\w its also simple one ....

Q1-5 n 6-10 ) in this section der r 2 RC'S which r simple ones but time consuming ..... so better to attemp them in last ...

==> After that der were some question on Sentence Completion (8 questions)a sentence beginning will be given u need to choose the correct ending sentence from 4options depending upon tense, singular, plural, articles..
