INFOSYS PAPER ON 21st JULY

HI FRIENDS,

   I AM SWATHI FROM GNITS , GOT PLACED INTO INFY , N I HOPE THIS PAGE HELPS U ALL

TEST PATTERN:

1. APTITUDE and VERBAL

2. HR

NOTE :(we were given an application form of infy we were asked to write it before the exam had started)

APTITUDE:

All questions were of REASONING type -----30 questions(R.S Aggarwal reasoning book is more than enough)

here time management is very important

One question was time consuming for me and

that was from the puzzle test so be prepared wid all 7 models of PUZZLE TEST

we had DATA INTETERPRETATION and as i couldnt solve the 1st question properly i had to solve this

so dont waste time for the questions u cannot solve instead do the one which is easier n refer(r s aggarwal quantitative aptitude for this)

mostly bar charts,tables and pi charts are given(we were given a table)

5 questions were from FIGURES

we were given 3 figures followed by a '?' 

in this the 1st two figures are have some relationship b/w them n based on that we hav to pick an answer figure which matches the 3rd figure

this was an easy one

5 questions were from SYLLOGISM

this was a bit different from wht i thought

they give 5 statements naming them a,b,c,d,e

then the answers choices were like 3 were paired eg:1)abe 2)dbe 3)aeb 4)dae

n we hav to find the pair which corretly matchs it if u do r.s aggarwal n r perfect wid all rules of syllogism i dont thing this would b tough

5 questions were of DATA SUFFICIENCY type

i felt this was easy

the questions i remember were from mensuration,length of train,ages of people

thts it in this part,  we were not told the cutoff but i think its better to try for atleast 20 out of 30

VERBAL:

40 questions were there

i scored 24 marks

there were 2 RCs one was of 2 pages i attempted in the last 5 min but i did it well i believe

then we had

correction of sentences

fill in the blank with correct word

around 5to 6 passages for which we had go choose the correct summary

u hav to read these very fast

time management is very very imp. here

do not waste even one min looking here and there coz tht one min costs a loooooooot

finally i was called my name for HR n i was on  the top of the world

i actually got thru wipro also but the joy of getting into a dream company is just great

one should definately experience it

HR:

One important thing is tht dont think tht its just HR

u should always remember tht there is one more hurdle to pass

in my 1st interview i hav learnt a lot "wht to do n wht not to do in the HR round" so if u hav not yet been placed then first analyze why tht has happened n try to improve on that coz there r huge oppertunities in this world

some way or the other u can get thru once u improve on ur flaws

so be confident and dont be jelous abt the ones who hav already got its a very bad thing

My HR round was coool

HR: come in swathi

me: yes sir

HR: cmon take ur seat

me: thank u sir (he had asked my resume and asked  me to sign on it n also at few places on the application form)

HR: so ur father works as so n so

me: yes sir

HR: so where does he work

me: said

HR: do u hav ny bros or siss

me: said

HR: whr did he do his scholling

me: said (so be prepared wid ur family members' details also) 

HR: so ur hobbies r travelling n music

me: yes sir

HR: whre hav u travelled

me: said a lot of places in India n i mentioned tht i like cold places

HR: k then which was the coldest place u saw

me: shillong in winter, then comes munnar

HR: so would there b snow fall fall

me: (me sadly)no sir yet to see such a place once

HR: do u like travelling coz of ur fathers transferable job

me: no sir even otherwise i never miss a chance to travel

HR: he gave me 3 topics and asked me to speak on 1

me: spoke abt supermarket (he was impressed)

HR: is there an incident in ur life whr u hav improved or had to changed ur work culture

me: said

HR: then she asked me abt my paper presentation(it was on face detection which comes under AI)

HR: how would u explain to a 7th class kid abt AI

me: i definately had an answer for tht so i answered n i think he was happy wid my answer

HR: k swathi there r 6 matchsticks here arrange them so that "each one touches one another"

me : i could make 5 to touch each other but not the 6th one

HR: then he asked me to make 4 equlateral triangles with those sticks

me: (the answer is to make a  pyramid out of it)i almost did it then he sait to leave it aside

HR: k so wht sports do u play

me: i enjoy playing badminton and these days i hav started playing TT too n i njoy tht too

HR: do u hav ny questions

me: asked 2 questions n he had answered them very patiently

HR: k then u can leave now and cal the next person and ALL the Best

Hi friends...........

                          I am Yuvraj Agnihotri from Punjab engineering college,Chandigarh. I am selected for Infosys,so i jst want to share my experience and knowledge wid u ppl ,wch will help u a lot if u r interested in joining this cmpany.

Frankly speaking, its not such a rocket science, it is only the hard work for a day or two... and u r selected.

Process:

1) Written paper

2) Interview

------------------------------------

1) Now,written paper is divided into two parts.. mainly Aptitude and Verbal ability.

    Aptitude                ------ 30 Questions------ 40 minutes

    Verbal ability(VA) ------ 40 Questions------ 35 minutes

---> Our "Aptitude" paper was above average level,I mean,it was a bit time consuming. Actually it was a good aptitude paper.

I selected easiest of questions first and answerd thm.. thn accordingly, I solved some more,in order of their increasing difficulty level. but frankly speaking,I was able to solve about 16-18 questions in the regulation time. Rest I made guesses( always do it,if negative marking is not thr). U will clear the cut off without mch difficulty,if u hv genuine understanding. Other option is read R.D.Sharma(i hd nt read it).

Then our "Apti"  paper was taken,and "VA" Q. paper ws given to us.

---> Now,this paper consist of 2 reading comprehensions & rest Sentence making & Simple grammer.

I attempted reading comp. in the end as they r generally time consuming and less scoring. So,first do the easy part,then the difficult one. This paper was comparitively easier than previous one. No need to do extra to clear this one.

**NOTE--- Each paper hs its individual cut-off.

After 1.5 hrs,our results wer out. Out of  110 students,about 73 wer shortlisted for inerviews.

2) We hd 6 panels in total. One person in each panel. Interviews r basically of HR type. Whr u will b asked to describe urself,abt the newspaper u read,something related to ur interest,may be some puzzles(not tough) etc.

My interview ws basically the "stressed" one type. Whr I ws put under sme sort of pressure(rude behaviour etc,it depends on ur luck and panel). My hobby ws music and singing,so i ws asked abt music and even to sing a song(wch i sung well..) .

overall,it ws a typical HR interview.

If u hv confidance,u will clear it easily. Be cool during interview (sp during solving a puzzle). My interview ws a stressed 15 min HR interview. (All other panals were relatively cool and calm.)

--------------------------------------------

The interviews wer ended at abt 11 pm and our results wer out at 11.30 pm. We wer called in audi,and names of selected candidates were announced. Out of 73,abt 62 wer selected. I ws one of them.

So friends, it is not a difficult process,bt requires confidence and faith in urself.
