INFOSYS PAPER ON 1st MARCH AT BHUBNESWAR

Hi friends,

It was an awesome experience to get selected on the very 1st attempt in an on-campus interview of infosys. The written part was a bit tough owing to the constraint of time limit,but believe me friends, once the written part is cleared ,the PI of infy is just a cakewalk.

The written part consists of 2 parts:
1.REASONING:    (30 ques.,  40 mins)

For reasoning part, take up R S AGGARWAL book and solve the following chapters;
series
blood relations
data sufficency(follow M TYRA)
data interpretation(follow M TYRA)
syllogism(logic)
cubes,dice,and venn digrams
puzzle test

but be prepared to overcome the constraint of time limit. Its not possible to solve all the ques correctly within the stipulated time but u hav to go for maximum correct ans..One more advice:"Go for wise guesses not wild guesses

2.ENGLISH:    (40 ques,  30 mins)

If u r from a CBSE affiliated school, then u shuldnt have any problems in the english part otherwise follow the rs aggarwal text book for english.

Ques are:
1. 2 Passages(5 ques frm each passge).
2.  error detection in sentences.
3.  fill up the blanks.
4.conlusions
5. arranging of sentences.

Frankly speaking friends,i didnt prepare anything for the english part.But one advise :"Dont go for the passage first, start ur attempt from ques 11 to 40. ".These ques r damn easy and can be solved in about 20 mins.. T hen go for the passges.

One important thing to be noted:  There is no technical round in infy.Also u need not prepare any quantitative aptitude fr infy. Then coming to the PI part:  Ques are very easy.But u need to be very confident in ur answers.and u should have good communication skills.

1st ques asked was: y u want to join infosys?
2:then a few puzzles lik:   8 monkeys eat 8 bananas in 8 mins---how many monkeys eat 6 bananas in 6 mins?
3. y iron gets heated earlier than wood?
4. a few ques on hobbies:
5. some political or general knowlege ques lik:    wts d name of the congress allied govt.?
6. name of IT minister.

PI is generally of 15-20 mins.

Then i waited for the result till 9.30. and then my joy knew no bounds when i found myself to be a part of IT brand"INFOSYS".
