INFOSYS PAPER ON 23rd FEBRUARY AT JAIPUR.

Hello friends

Hope this will help u a lot. I got placed in Infosys.
The pattern was exactly the same as we see in exams held in 2007.

The written exam was divided into two sections :

1) Aptitude (Refer VERBAL & NON VERBAL RS AGARWAL)

2) English (was general, but level is tough).

To sum up the process, we were firstly asked to fill a simple application form.

Do remember to take a passport size photo as it is required to be submitted along with the form.

After that we were given the aptitude paper first.

APTITUDE

It comprised of 30 questions to be solved in a span of 40 mins.

As opposed to the regular trend we did not get any ques from cube and dices, though u should prepare it.

The sections we got are as follows :

1)Puzzle – Consist of  7 to 8 students living in same hostel . Names of all students r given, with their height and room no. but in jumbled way. U hav to find the tallest, shortest & respective room no.  (Do  chapter 6 PUZZLE Test frm RS AGARWAL)

2)Series - We were given 5 figures, we had to find the odd figure in series(Do SERIES, analogy-PART II  Non verbal reasoning RS AGARWAL)

3)Data Sufficiency (Do DATA SUFFICIENCY-SECTION 1 General mental ability from RS AGARWAL)

4)Data Interpretation - Practice from "quantitative aptitude by RS AGARWAl )

5)Puzzle again.

6)Logical - SECTION-II  chapter-1 LOGIC REASONING RS AGARWAL, Mug up all rules given & practice all exercises)

ADVICE :
1)Do not waste time in practicing & attempting the DATA INTERPRETATION as the question u will get to solve will be lengthy. So neither practice it nor waste time attempting it in exam. If u hav time Left only then attempt it.

2) Do not practice  Shakuntla devi for aptitude test but solve it for interview as in interview they may ask some puzzle to be solved by u.

3)The syllabus i would recommend u - go thru the following chapters :

"VERBAL AND NON VERBAL REASONING BY RS AGARWAL"

SECTION 1 - GENERAL MENTAL ABILITY

1)Blood relations

2)Puzzle test

3)Logical Venn Diagrams (very very easy,don't waste much time)

4)Ranking and time sequence Test

5)Data Sufficiency

SECTION 2 - LOGIC REASONING

1)Logic (just do all exercise and memorise all 9 rules)

SECTION 3 -NON-VERBAL REASONING

1)SERIES (just practice some of them, these kind of questions depend on the fact that waha pe strike hota hain ya nahin.)

2) Analogy

3)Cubes And Dices

"QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE BY RS AGARWAL"

1)Data Interpretation

There were no different sets for the exam,we all got the same set of questions with exactly same choices.

ENGLISH

English -40 Ques- 35mins

Level of questions is very good. I think it is of CAT level.

So practice some topics like prepositions , Error finding, tenses, fill up the blanks from any good English objective book.

1) Two  COMPREHENSIONS

• You would be asked to answer certain questions based on the comprehension.
  
• First read all the given questions & then read the given comprehension.
  
• COMPLETE 1st comprehension given in the paper, leave the other one and complete other questions. IF time remains answer the leftover comprehension.
  

2) 5 questions 

Four sentences are given , with very less difference , u have to find the most correct one.

3) Some fill in the blanks .

4)Some small paragraphs r given , u have to infer the msg given by that para,  4 options r given choose most appropriate one.

THIS WAS ALL FOR THE WRITTEN.

INTERVIEW

• The interview is just to gauge your communication skills, basically whether you can speak or not or are confident enough.
  
• Tell us something about Yourself - Mention your current educational status i.e name of college, degree and special. Move on to emphasis on your skills.
  
• Support every skill with an exanple when asked for. For example if you mention you are good at team work.You may be interrupted by the interviewer and asked to explain that why you feel you are good at team work.
  
• Every strength, quality, weakness or any word you utter will be listened to sharply. So be prepared for an example and a statement to support it.
  
• Many students were asked some General Knowledge questions too, a list is added below. Thru these they  r not tryin to see how much u know, but how u behave in a stressful situtaion when u don’t know something. Just straight away say NO to any ques of which u dont kno the and of and if u kno any fact related to it produce it.
  
• HOBBIES. Prepare fully all the facts related to ur hobbies , as interwier may ask any ques related to ur hobbies.
