INFOSYS PAPER ON 1st MARCH AT BHUBANESWAR .

The criteria was any two 60% and one 65%. ( generally it is 10th and B-tech 65% and 12th 60%)

Important Tips:-

1. Start from easy questions and then proceed towards the difficult ones.
2. Make a mindset that the questions which are difficult for you, will be difficult for others too.. But the question which is easy for you may not b easy for others.

The written exam was divided into two sections:

1) Aptitude (30 ques 40 min)

2) English (40 ques 30 min)

we were firstly asked to fill up a simple form.. ( do not forget to carry a passport sized photo with you).. the aptitude paper was given first…then the English Paper…

APTITUDE
The paper was not tough but needs practice and proper time management…for aptitude section follow R.S. Aggarwal “Verbal and non Verbal reasoning”...

Chapters to be followed:-
Section 1

1. Series completion

2. Blood Relations

3. Puzzle Test

4. Number, Ranking & Time Sequence Test

5. Data Sufficiency

Section 2

1. Logic ( This is also known as Syllogism)- Very Important

Section 3

1. Series

2. Cubes and Dice.

Some of the ques I remember are-

Ques (1-5) – Ranking

The questions were very easy.

1. Ram is 10th from front and Shyam is 10th from back. if both interchange their positions then Ram is 27th from front, then Shyam’s position from back is
(1) 25 (2) 26 (3) 27 (4) 28

2. Hari stands 10th in the class and mohan stands 17th from back and there are 4 students in between them then the total strength of the class is…..

Ques (6-10)- Next figure i.e. the 6th figure in the series..

Here five figures were given and we had to find out the next figure in the series from the five figures given as options. These were easy too..

Ques (11-15)- Data sufficiency problems
Ques (16-20)- Graph

Here one graph on Solubility Vs temperature for 6 different compounds like calcium sulphate, calcium chloride, etc.. was given.. 5 ques followed it… this was little tough as there were 6 different lines in a small graph ..

Questions were like- which has the highest solubility… (1) calcium chloride at 29deg (2)calcium sulphate at 15deg (3)sodium chloride at 22deg (4)potassium chloride at 20deg.

Ques (21-25)- Puzzle Test

I don’t remember the whole ques ..it was something like-

There are six persons A,B,C,D,E,F…each person wore a cap and a tie. No person wore same colored cap and tie..caps colour were red,black,brown,yellow,green,white. Tie colors were red,blue,yellow,brown,orange,green… E wore cap as the colour of the F’s tie. C wore cap as the colour of the D’s tie……….

Five questions followed it…

Ques (26-30)- Syllogism

These were really tough…follow the nine rules given in R.S. Aggarwal or follow the rules tought by ur PPT teacher…For Bhubaneswar students follow Nanda Sir’s notes…

ENGLISH
The English section was a tough one…for this prepare from Baron’s guide or revise your basics from Wren and Martin…look for the section in the paper which is easy for you and attempt
1. 2 long passages followed by 5 ques each…these passages were very tough…one advice- read the passage once then from the questions try to find out the answers from the passage…this might help you in completing ques (1-10) much faster.. don’t give too much time reading the passage..
2. ques (11-17)- choose the correct sentence out of the four …
3. ques on fill in the blanks with the correct word or phrase
4. choose the best suited words or phrases for the underlined words

By 1 p.m the written exam was over …the results were out by 3p.m. the cut off was around 13 each in Aptitude as well as English section……within 10 min the HR Interview started…

HR INTERVIEW
The most important thing to crack the interview is that you have to be well prepared about what is there in your CV…Confidence counts a lot…keep smiling but don’t show your teeth…if you don’t know the answer say politely that you don’t know the answer do not bluff.. the HR will catch you… a person with the above qualities and a good communication skill (in English) can crack the HR interview easily..

The interview was for around 18-20 min…the HR person was very friendly…his questions followed from what I spoke…my questions were-

1. tell me about yourself…

2. where do your parents live?

3. how come you have done schooling from Jamshedpur rather than your native place?

4. you must be leaving in the hostel?

5. you from which branch?

6. do you have exposure to computers?(while answering this ques I spoke about my summer course i.e. Network Management in “Linux” environment….so the next questions were from this)

7. what was the course all about?

8. what is a switch?

9. what is routing?

10. name a company which produces switches..(I didn’t knew the answer so I said “I don’t know the answer)

11. then he asked don’t you watch KBC…I replied – “Sir, for the last 3yrs I don’t have access to the television as I stay in the mess..

12. what is Oracle?

13. do you have any interest in sports?(my answer was cricket)

14. are you there in the college team?

15. have you played cricket for your college?

16. then he gave me a Maths ques.- there are X no of students in the class..you have Rs6500..you distributed 6500 among all the students..if 15 more students are included and the same amount is distributed among all then the new share for each gets reduced by Rs30 than the previous one..can u find out the actual no of students(X)? Here he wanted to see that whether I was ready to accept new problems and how I proceed…never say no to these questions.. always give it a try.try until he/she stops you.. then explain him/her what you have done..i gave him the answer and explained what I had done..

17. again he asked me question on cricket- What is China man? – I didn’t knew the answer so replied- “Sorry sir I don’t know the answer

Some other ques which were asked to my friends were like-

1. what is the meaning of your name?

2. who invented zero?- Aryabhata

3. what is the loss in a line? – I^2R loss

4. why should I hire you?

5. why Infosys?

6. tell me about your strengths?

INFOSYS PAPER ON 1st MARCH AT GHAZIABAD

INFOSYS pattern:

1) Reasoning Ability (30 questions ,40 minutes)
English Aptitude (40 questions,35 minutes)

2) HR round

They eliminated most of us in written so I would suggest you to prepare well for it..

Only 66 of us got selected for written out of 250..

The most important thing is TIME MANAGEMENT….

I don’t remember the questions well.. but what all I can recollect is here..

1) PUZZLE

A DI ques has to pass through three stages A,B,C.. there are 4 men to check at stage A, 10 men at stage B and 4 men at stage C.. each man works for 10 hrs a day.. A DI ques takes 1 hr at Stage A,2 hrs at Stage B and 1 hr at Stage C and an apti ques takes 45 mins at Stage A,2hrs at stage B and 1 hr at Stage C.
There were 5 ques based on the data provided.. like…

At most how many DI ques could be solved in a day..

If 3 more men get involved in stage A then at most how many ques can be solved in a day..

They were pretty easy..

2) LOGIC

5 ques were there to find the odd one among the 5 pictures given for each..

they were a little tricky..

You can find these type of ques in VERBAL AND NON VERBAL REASONING, R.S Aggarwal

3) DATA SUFFICENCY(5 ques)

one of then which I remember is:

find the angle ADC in cyclic quadrilateral ABCD

1. angle BCD + angle ADC = 77

2. angle BAD= 55

Remember you don’t have to solve the ques but to find out whether

a) 1 alone is sufficient to answer the question.
b) 2 alone is sufficient to answer the question.
c) either of 1 or 2 is sufficient to answer the question.
d) both are insufficient to answer the question.
e) both are required to answer the question.

Ans to above is e

4) DATA INTERPRETATION

A table of imports from diff countries to India was given and 5 ques were based on it.. there were very lengthy calculations and I would suggest to apply hit and trial here otherwise you’ll end up wasting most of your time.
Practice DI ques from QUANTITATIVE APTITUTE by R.S aggarwal

5) A PUZZLE again

It was like there were six people A,B,C,D,E sitting in 2 rows..

B and C can not sit in corner and other relevant data and then 5 ques based on it..

It was very easy..

Practice the puzzles from VERBAL AND NON VERBAL REASONING, R.S Aggarwal

6) SYLLOGISM

This is again there in VERBAL AND NON VERBAL REASONING, R.S Aggarwal

I would sugguest you to go through examples of

Blood relations
Puzzle test
Logical Venn Diagrams
Ranking and time sequence Test
Data Sufficiency
Logic (Just learn those 9 rules)
Series
Cubes ( go through the ques like a painted cube was cut and then you have to find the no. of find 1 side painted cubes… and so on..)
from VERBAL AND NON VERBAL REASONING, R.S Aggarwal.. n do about 10 examples from each chapter.. n if can arrange for any CAT material then plz do that… it really helps.. the paper is usually lengthy so go for easier first like puzzles, DS and SYLLOGISM.. DI can be tough so do it at end..

At the end of the day its all luck.. so give your best but be prepared for the worst..

The English paper had

1) 2 Reading Comprehensions.. DO them at the end.. they are quite lengthy..

and if you don’t get enough time to read them then try to make out answers by going through glimpse of the comprehensions

2) Argument-Conclusion type.

3) Sentence Correction.

4) Choosing grammatically correct sentences.

English is easy if you are go at spoken English.. you can not learn English in few days but i would suggest you to go through IMS material on English.. it’s good..

My HR was really cool..

In HR they judge your analytical ability.. They check for how you handle stress.. your confidence, communicational skills,

presence of mind, overall personality..

me: GOOD AFTERNOON ma’am..

intr: GOOD AFTERNOON.. Have your seat..

me: thank you ma’am…

(then she asked me to sign a paper)

intr: tell me abut your background , your achievements, your education…

me: told (be cool.. don’t get nervous.. they will make it out.. be natural when you answer even if you have prepared the answer before.. relate your strengths with their requirements.. )

intr: tell me about your family background

me: told ( tell how you have learned from your parents.. they don’t want to know whether your dad is a doctor or an IAS.. they want to know more of you, so don’t boost about your family but tell them what you learned from their experiences)

intr: what sacrifice your parents have made for you..

me: told..

intr: then she asked me to make 8 equilateral triangles from 12 matchsticks..

me: (they don’t want your answer, they want to judge you presence of mind and how you handle stress.. jst keep trying until she/he asks you to stop)

intr: tell me about your close friends..

me: told..

intr: how do you update yourself..

me: I’m not that good newspaper reader but I do keep record of what is happening around me through internet and television.. ( Don’t lie, if you don’t read newspaper it’s perfectly fine.. )

intr: If fire catches your house and you have a 20*20 box, what will you take in it..

me: I’ll take my certificates and some money in it..

intr: where do you keep all your certificates..

me: told..

intr: if your two close friends utter all bad about you to your project head and you came to know about it from a very reliable source then how will you react..

me: told ( see, they do check how you handle situations… don’t mix up professional life with your personal life.)

intr: okay.. BEST OF LUCK..

me: thank you ma’am.. It was nice meeting you…

Important is to be confident, calm, and to impress the panel...

You should know about the capital of all states in India and major countries.. go through headlines (Budget, elections(newly elected chief ministers..), IT sector.. TATA-chorus) they can ask you to mention 25 news.. You should be well aware of names of all ministers..

All questions are from your CV so be through with it.. always back up your strengths and weaknesses with examples..

I do not remember all the questions that were asked in the Interview, but some are here; The new patter is as follows;

40 Minutes for Data Interpretation, Data Sufficiency, Aptitude, Logical, Odd man out, what is the next figure, Venn Diagrams, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

18 Questions – 15 One mark + 3 Five marks (that is 3 questions with Five Sub-divisions).
All questions will have Four Choices and you will have to select one. No negative markings.
So totally 30 * 1 mark = 30 Marks. B. 35 Minutes for English – Correct the Sentences, Fill in the blanks, Reading comprehension etc.

INFOSYS PAPER ON 7th JANUARY AT DELHI

The English section was pretty simple...it had sentences with missing phrases....n also the basic sentence correction....it had two 200 words passages with 5 Q each on them! Also it had Qs asking us to choose the best grammatically correct sentence out of given options!

I had attempted 25-16 Qs out of 30, and was quite sure abt all of them! I fell short of time to b able to attempt remaining 3-4 Qs.....

The Aptitude section basically constituted of Arithmetic reasoning Qs and lots of Qs on analytical reasoning...that is guessing the figure which shud fall next in series! It had an Easy Qs on Family tree and Qs on finding out the most logically correct sequence of sentences out of 4-5 given sentences.....
M clearly able to recall the 1st Q....here goes....
There is a cube with dimension 15cm(each side, obviously) with opp sides painted with same colors....two sides are painted with red,two opp sides are painted with blue and the rest of the two painted with yellow!
the cube is cut into cubes with dimension 3 cm.....
1. How many cubes have single side painted?
2. How many have 2 side painted?
3. How many have 3 sides painted?
4. How many have 3 sides painted with diff colors?
5. How many have no side painted?

INFOSYS PAPER ON 7th JANUARY AT CHENNAI

Here is the Critical reasoning!

1) Most of the series of question paper has the CUBE problem as first question. Never get pissed off, its always 3*3 ,4*4 ,5*5 rarely 10*10 cube given. My question was this

A CUBE OF 15M IN LENGTH IS CUT INTO FEW SMALLER CUBES IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE CUBES ARE EQUALLY 3M IN SIDE, AND THE CUBE IS PAINTED GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW ON ALL THE PAIR OF OPPOSITE SIDES,

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS.

A) How many cubes are no side painted?

B) How many cubes 1 side painted?

C) How many cubes 2 sides painted

D) How many cubes 3 sides painted?

E) How many cubes painted 3 sides with 3 different colors?

Solution: Please have ref to cubes and dices topic from verbal and non-verbal RS.Agarwal

Approach can be like this.. What ever the cube is given take it into layers. Top layer, bottom layer and the middle layer(s). Since this cube is 5*5 u have 3 middle layers. Draw down the cube immediately and use pencil, blue pen and black pen to isolate the 1 side painted, 2 side painted, 3 sides painted . This is how u can approach. Cube problem always consumes time. So my suggestion is to have it as a last option.

2) This was picture oriented problems.

My question paper had missing fig identification. So picture problems can be of

àContinue the series

àMissing one (the third missing ll b asked)

àOdd one out

It took 5mins completely. U need to have concentration more and your observing needs to b fixed on to the paper. Clues are.. first check for the shapes, then direction, then fig in fig out combinations, addition of new fig will b little complicated don get screwed up. If there is a elimination of a part in the fig jus check out if there is addition of a new fig. this is the approach. You need to spend min 5 mins max of 10 mins. Never ignore the RS Agarwal pictures problems.

3) Data sufficiency. RSAgarwal doesn’t help much in this section. so please go thro any cat materials for this particular section. Coz it always analytical or geometrical checks for solution. RSAgarwal has jus the theory-based questions.

1) PNR calculation, find P. Data given were n separately and are separately
2) a square with diagonal was given, and the data were measure of the side and the value of the diagonal. Question was to say if it is a square or not.

3) A theoretical question to find if ravi is an engineer or not data were a) all ram’s friends are engineers b) ravi is not ram’s friend.
4) An equation was given and the constant was asked algebraically calculation. Both the data were required.

5) This was again a theory .i forgot the question.. Sorry

The other possibilities are linear equations also

4) Data interpretation this section was really a mind blowing one. Consumes 15 mins at least, a stock market bar graph was given and 5 questions followed. Out of which 3 questions were based on the average calculation. Even the difference was with decimals so you need accurate calculation. But don’t waste time. Look for 2 direct questions and answer them first and calculate average and if have patience to do that do it else ignore the 3 questions.

It took more than 15 mins for me..

5) Now again comes the logical based critical, here u need to concentrate on all the topics given in puzzles and misallanous puzzles from RSAgarwal. Puzzles are not literally puzzles like shakunthala Devi or George summers they are like how its given in RSAgarwal verbal n non verbal

Five to six topics are there please don ignore any topic coz they ask from any of the six. They can be from committee formation, sequential problems (Monday thro Saturday and timings based) ,seating arrangement or Venn diagram based and what was asked for me was from blood relations. It was very simple but don ignore any section.

6) Logical sequence.

The options were more logical indeed unlike cats are humans, bats are balls.. Nothing like that it was very logical

For ex:

a) All the detergents are chemicals

b) All the detergents are harmful

c) Brand x is a detergent

d) Brand x is not harmful

e) Brand x is harmful so if u understand the sense in it u can logically arrange it.

VERBAL COMPREHENSION:

There are 2 comprehension asked out of which one will be sequentially questioned,. Ur first question will have the answer in the first Para the second in the second like that the other comprehension will be ant sequential first questioned at the last so the tip I can give is.. read the questions have the questions behind the mind then start reading the Para and the second tip is never do comprehension first keep it for the last 10 mins.

One compre would take 7 mins and the other 3 mins. So plan accordingly

2) Comprehension (anti sequential)

3) Pick out the right sentence from the given 4 sentences.

The concentration is more into prepositions. So check for the words like, of, off, for, from ,by and all preposition word. Don keep reading the entire sentence coz the sentence is lengthy, trace out where the difference is made and check which would be apt one.

4) fill in the blanks with suitable phrases, very very simple

eg: -------------------- lost my wallet I had to go back home to get the money

a) as I had

b) though I

c) even when

d) because

Sir: why was the one decision denied?

Madam: have u inrecated with all the employees at office?

Madam: any questions to us.. ( I jus asked about what kind of projects will be assigned and about the training place why is it always my sore )

While u r asked to work the puzzle they observe ur dressings, body language,, expressions.. so keep ur face cool and sit erect jus bending the head and don strike and scribble and work out put it as steps and show them jus the approach is what they want . Never lie never use any negative terms.
