APTITUDE
First they will give you the omr sheet,where you will have to fill in the bubbles with necessary information like name,sex,UG marks,X XII marks,history of arrears,address.There was only one questions which needed to be answered in detail "What are the qualities of a software professional and why do you think you are qualified for this interview".
2 papers were there.
paper1-analytical.It was just breeze.syllogism,coding decoding,figures,one DI,and one arithmatic reasoning which was so easy even class 4 kids would solve it.
paper2-verbal ability.2 passages were there which are fit for class 1 kids.u dnt even hav to read the whole passage to give answers.It took 10 seconds to answer 10 passage questions.but next came the jhatka.the sentence rearrangements appeared complicated.I tried to solve it by trying out each option,the one that sounded best I just tickd dat.The paper contained alternating sequence of find correct sentence and find incorrect sentence,so be very careful in reading the instruction.
The papers had individual cutoff with no negative marking.I guess the cutoff was pretty low coz 340 students cleared out of 387.
Interview started as soon as the names were declared.There were 28-29 panels in all I guess.
Guys if you have a CGPA of over 8.5 better prepare for a tough technical interview.
Mine was a stress interview.
I was the 8th candidate in my panel.by the time my turn came I had come to know that my interviewer was a shrewd nd tough person,coz one of my frnds returned crying after the interview(she cried 1 litre tears but eventually she got the job!!).
