INFOSYS PAPER ON 1st MARCH AT
Hello friends,
I am Sudhir Kumar Gupta, from GITA,
To start up with INFOSYS was the first company to start the campus season in Orissa . To boast off GITA (Gandhi group) was the first Institution to have INFOSYS at its campus....
About 292 students appeared from GITA,
At our campus the INFOSYS people were very time bounded...they had informed that ppt talk would start at 9.00a.m
.so did the ppt talk started at 9a.m sharp
the ppt talk was for two hours
do attend this talk with a pen and paper and note down some key points because the HR might ask question related to these
The criteria was any two 60% and one 65%. ( generally it is 10th and B-tech 65% and 12th 60%)
Important Tips:-
The written exam was divided into two sections:
1) Aptitude (30 ques 40 min)
2) English (40 ques 30 min)
we were firstly asked to fill up a simple form.. ( do not forget to carry a passport sized photo with you).. the aptitude paper was given first
then the English Paper
APTITUDE
The paper was not tough but needs practice and proper time management
for aptitude section follow R.S. Aggarwal Verbal and non Verbal reasoning...
Chapters to be followed:-
Section 1
1. Series completion
2. Blood Relations
3. Puzzle Test
4. Number, Ranking & Time Sequence Test
5. Data Sufficiency
Section 2
1. Logic ( This is also known as Syllogism)- Very Important
Section 3

2. Cubes and Dice.
Some of the ques I remember are-
Ques (1-5) Ranking
The questions were very easy.
1. Ram is 10th from front and Shyam is 10th from back. if both interchange their positions then Ram is 27th from front, then Shyams position from back is
(1) 25 (2) 26 (3) 27 (4) 28
2. Hari stands 10th in the class and mohan stands 17th from back and there are 4 students in between them then the total strength of the class is
..
Ques (6-10)- Next figure i.e. the 6th figure in the series..
Here five figures were given and we had to find out the next figure in the series from the five figures given as options. These were easy too..
Ques (11-15)- Data sufficiency problems
Ques (16-20)- Graph
Here one graph on Solubility Vs temperature for 6 different compounds like calcium sulphate, calcium chloride, etc.. was given.. 5 ques followed it
this was little tough as there were 6 different lines in a small graph ..
Questions were like- which has the highest solubility
(1) calcium chloride at 29deg (2)calcium sulphate at 15deg (3)sodium chloride at 22deg (4)potassium chloride at 20deg.
Ques (21-25)- Puzzle Test
I dont remember the whole ques ..it was something like-
There are six persons A,B,C,D,E,F
each person wore a cap and a tie. No person wore same coloured cap and tie..caps colour were red,black,brown,yellow,green,white. Tie colours were red,blue,yellow,brown,orange,green
E wore cap as the colour of the Fs tie. C wore cap as the colour of the Ds tie
.
Five questions followed it
Ques (26-30)- Syllogism
These were really tough
follow the nine rules given in R.S. Aggarwal or follow the rules tought by ur PPT teacher
For Bhubaneswar students follow Nanda Sirs notes
ENGLISH
The English section was a tough one
for this prepare from Barons guide or revise your basics from Wren and Martin
look for the section in the paper which is easy for you and attempt
1. 2 long passages followed by 5 ques each
these passages were very tough
one advice- read the passage once then from the questions try to find out the answers from the passage
this might help you in completing ques (1-10) much faster.. dont give too much time reading the passage..
2. ques (11-17)- choose the correct sentence out of the four
3. ques on fill in the blanks with the correct word or phrase
4. choose the best suited words or phrases for the underlined words
By 1 p.m the written exam was over
the results were out by 3p.m. the cut off was around 13 each in Aptitude as well as English section
within 10 min the HR Interview started
HR INTERVIEW
The most important thing to crack the interview is that you have to be well prepared about what is there in your CV
Confidence counts a lot
keep smiling but dont show your teeth
if you dont know the answer say politely that you dont know the answer do not bluff.. the HR will catch you
a person with the above qualities and a good communication skill (in English) can crack the HR interview easily..
The interview was for around 18-20 min
the HR person was very friendly
his questions followed from what I spoke
my questions were-
1. tell me about yourself
2. where do your parents live?
3. how come you have done schooling from

.so the next questions were from this)
7. what was the course all about?
8. what is a switch?
9. what is routing?
10. name a company which produces switches..(I didnt knew the answer so I said I dont know the answer)

Here he wanted to see that whether I was ready to accept new problems and how I proceed
never say no to these questions.. always give it a try.try until he/she stops you.. then explain him/her what you have done..i gave him the answer and explained what I had done..
