Aptitude - General
Hello Everyone,
Infosys Paper (for Freshers)
We had pool campus at EAST point college of engg. 3 colleges had participated. (east point,CIT and KIT) Out of 109 from our coll CIT, 16 cleared written and also got placed. This time once again they had the same selection procedure, with written exam being the main filter. With just over 200 (from all 3 colleges) candidates appearing for the exam only around 40 made through it and then 37 got placed.
Test date: 7th Jan, 2011
Test Venue: east point college of engineering.
- Eligibility Criteria: 60% in 10th and 12th
- 65% in Graduation
(Friends be careful about the eligibility criteria, Infosys people are very strict and specific about it (like even 64.999 % is not at all acceptable ))
The placement process started at about 9:00 am. but the schedule was late by 45 mins, so started at 9:45 am. 2 people from company gave ppt till 10:00am.
- First of all they would give a sheet to collect general information about you. Be sure to have 2 passport size photographs with you. Then after filling of the form the OMR sheet is distributed. You have to encircle the option and write the option in box.
- Aptitude paper was distributed. It was an easy paper 30 questions 40 minutes. Be sure to touch the mark of 18 correct. Though 18 questions is the upper limit. Infy people don’t tell the cut offs. But its good to be on the safe side, by getting minimum 18 questions correct.
- First five questions on visual reasoning (very easy).
- Next five questions on Data interpretation.
I don’t remember the exact set and values, but set was as such.

(A) Any one statement alone is sufficient to answer
(B) both statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient
(c) each statement alone is sufficient
