INFOSYS PAPER ON 5th FEBRUARY AT BHUBANESWAR

Hi, i am Ranjit and i appeared for Infosys campus drive in College of Engineering, Bhubaneswar on 5th feb,2008. To be frank i was not at all prepared for the campus drive. i expected infosys to visit our campus around 15th feb, but it visited on 5th which created a lot of tension.

I am very thankful to Freshersworld.com and all the students whose valuable feedback helped me tremendously in my three days preparation for Infosys. 

Written was quite easy which focussed mainly on Reasoning and English. I could answer most of them. Remember there is sectional cutoff which may vary from 60% to 70%, so be careful. 

There were more than 350 students who appeared and out of which 73 could clear the written. After that there was a PI. Here are some questions asked in my PI. 

Me: (knocked on the door) Excuse me sir, may i come in?
HR: yes please.
Me: (before the chair) good evening sir.
Hr: Good evening. (then he shook hands with me. Remember to give a firm handshake. they r looking for confidence).        give me your resume. have a sit.
Me: thank you sir.
HR: (After having a glance at my resume) So Ranjit tell me something about yourself.
Me: (I didnot repeat my name because he already knew my name. I said about myself)
HR: how many siblings do you have.
Me: i answered.
HR:  what are they doing?
Me: (I said).
HR: What is your favourite subject?
Me: I like Microprocessor.
HR: Apart from this do you have another favourite subject.
Me: Transmission and distribution
HR: Tell me how power is distributed?
Me: ( I said)
HR: what is a capacitor? (i am from electrical branch so these questions were asked to me).
Me: ( answered)
HR: what is a transformer?
Me: I answered.
HR: How does an escalator work?
Me: (I answered).
HR: Do we use any electronics devices in escalators?
Me: ( answered)
HR: (then he gave me a puzzle about a train stuck between two stations and it is flooded outside. i have no means to communicate outside the train, what will i do in such a situation)
Me: I answered. ( Not all the questions have a perfect answer. remember while answering just speak about whatever is going on inside your mind. they just want to see your approach towards the problem.)
HR: do you have anything to ask to me?
Me: What kind of prpaparation do i need to make before joining Infosys, if i get selected?
HR: He answered. ( just listen to what he says).
Thanks you Ranjit. this is all i would like to know about you.
Me: Thank you sir, it was nice talking to you.
