INFOSYS PAPER ON 15TH FEBRUARY,2008 AT BIDAR
Hi, I am Shilpa and I had appeared for Infosys campus drive in GND College of Engineering, BIDAR on 15th feb,2008.
I am very thankful to Freshersworld.com ,placementweek.com and all the students whose valuable feedback helped me tremendously in my preparation for Infosys.
Written was quite easy which focussed mainly on Reasoning and English. I could answer most of them. Remember that there is sectional cutoff which may vary from 60% to 70%, so be careful. There was no negative marking.
There were more than 630 students who appeared and out of which 18 were short listed after written. After that there was a PI. Here are some questions asked in my PI.
THERE ARE TWO ROUNDS FOR SELECTION :-
1) APTITUDE TEST

PI:
Me: (knocked on the door) Excuse me sir, may i come in?
HR: yes please.
Me: (before the chair) good evening sir. (with a firm handshake)
Hr: Good evening. ( then he shook hands with me. Remember to give a firm handshake. They r looking for confidence). give me your CV. Please sit down.
Me: thank you sir.
HR: (After having a glance at my resume) So tell me something about yourself apart from what u have written in your cv.
Me: (I did not repeat my name because he already knew my name. I said about myself. Please focus on the qualities which they require & which they usually describe in pre placement talk and please do not look rehearsed.)
HR: tell me something about your family.
Me: i answered.
HR: what are they doing?
Me: (I said).
HR: How do u update your self?
Me: told (newspaper, internet, technical magazines, etc).
HR: what do u do in your leasure time?
Me: told .
HR: shilpa, can u sing a song of your choice (as I had said one of my hobby was singing)
Me: (sang)
HR: (then he gave me a puzzle )
Me: I did not get the answer. ( 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. this was what I had done.dont lose the eye contact while explaining.)
Hr: do u have any major illness history?
Me: no sir. (as I had no such history. please tell the truth as far as possible)
HR: Do u have any problems for relocation?
Me: no sir (avoid saying yes as far as possible)

HR: he answered.
Thanks you shilpa. this is all i would like to know about you.
Me: Thank you sir, it was nice talking to you. have a nice day sir (again a firm handshake) .
During the interviews HR asked me to have snacks. I calmly replied that I had my lunch.
please make a point that u donât eat or chew something in front of the HR. it gives a very bad impression.
The results were declared 1 and half hours after i was interviewed. I was one among 12 who got through the Interview. A lot of credit goes to Freshersworld.com for providing such a wonderful forum for students to share their experiences. Best of Luck guys and gals. and if you get selected then do write your feedback, this will definitely help others.
See u at INFY.
