Hi, this is Bharath, Initially vote of thanks to the people who have helped me in cracking the infy by giving their experiences.

The process consists of two rounds, now a days infy is conducting three rounds which consists of one technical & hr. During my interviews some of the people have undergone 2 rounds of interview, so be prepared, u may interviewed once or twice, depending upon their requirement.

In this first thing is the written test, and during off campus short listing of candidates will be very less, and the short listing will be mainly based on the English test which is of 40 marks, & I think one should get minimum 30 marks for getting short listed, and u al well know that interview is lite.

In case of Reasoning test, there will be one hard puzzle & one easy puzzle, easy puzzle can be solved easily if one solves all the puzzles in the non verbal reasoning, easy puzzle 4 me is there are 5 teachers, each teacher teaches a subject, no teacher teaches more than two subjects and another clue stating the teacher’s subject & day of teaching and questions are which teacher teaches the subject, on which day does this teacher teaches and so on.

Coming to hard puzzle there are three frnz x,y,z. x has an amount of rs.160, y has an amount of rs.120, z has an amount of rs.80.  and  the man who have highest amount of money has to give the half of the difference between the two members, and this process stops if the difference between any two of the members is less than rs5, and questions are like wat is the final amt at x, how many iterations will it take to stop the game and so on.  In case of hard puzzles, the infy people are just copying the examples 4m the IMS material for CAT, I have said this as me and my frnz got the puzzles 4m it, and theres no even change in the numerical, so try 2 go through it once

And data interpretation do it in the last, and the calculations wil be very hard so do only rough calculations not exactly

(and u people can note the questions on rough sheet as they wil take only question papers but not the answer papers, so if u have time left out u can solve them)

And next 5 question based on series (but we cant say that every time they give only series they may also give odd man out as one of my friends got them) and the questions are very easy

And next 5 questions on syllogisms, and I can recollect just 2 questions,

1. find the area of triangle
1. height of the median is given
2. two sides are given
2. Find the length of the cord
1. If the diameter of the circle is given
2. And the angle made by the sector is 60deg
   
   
   

Coming to English, u must have strong grip on tenses as u can gain 15 marks if ur strong in tenses as u can get 5 marks 4m fill in the blanks with appropriate tenses, and 10 marks 4m correction of sentences,

And coming to pattern of the English, consists of two comprehension passages, 5 fill in blanks, 10 correction of sentences (in case of correction of sentences corrections are based on tenses, direct& indirect speech, active& passive voice) and find the logically correct sentence

And they gave the list of short listed candidates in the evening and they have selected just 92 candidates out of 900, and they scheduled interview on the next day at Infy’s corporate office

I got scheduled at 11:30 am, but I went to the interview panel at around 3’0 clock, and the interview experience is as follows, my panel consists of only one hr where as in some other panels there are two people

Hr: so can u tel me the chapters in it

Me: said some topics and said sorry sir I cant recollect properly as I have learnt it 2 years ago

Hr: k fine, and gave me a puzzle which is damn easy, 2,3,4,5,6 are the numbers u have 2 choose 3 no’s out of them and fill a 3x3 matrix in such a way that the sum must be 11 along the horizontal and vertical and repetition is allowed

Me: In tense, I have forgotten the condition and tried 2 solve and after a brief period he reminded me of the conditions again, and finally I have done it

Hr: k fine, do u have any siblings

Hr: he answered 2 my questions, and asked 2 leave

Me: said thanq and left the place

That is my whole interview experience, so guys be confident, they look ur confidence level initially and then ur communication skills.

And the guy outside the panel, wil chek ur certificates and says when wil be the results announced, he told 2 me that results wil be announced in 6 weeks

All the best, and hope 2 c u all the people at infy
