When i was called , the manager asked about me.At that i was so nervous that i stammered in between. then he asked me why i have chosen computers field.I answered that in school time it was a togh subject for me ,so i took this subject as a challenge,& chosen this field. then he asked about my favourite subjects in school, i replied chemistry & maths. then he asked me few puzzles regarding maths & chemistry which are:-

3. if u have nail enamel bottle which becomes empty, then give ten uses of that empty bottle?

c)put oil for maching prts in it.
i have just mentioned these only
then he asked if i have any query regarding infy?
i asked why infy has devlopment centres in south only & not in northern India? which he explained very nicely & sweetly .
but after this interview my name along with few more students was called again for interview after 2hrs(approx.).At that time i gave answers very confidently & it was just like talkin with ur seniors or friends. In that interview they asked me about my software skills that i can contribute to infosys & what my skills can provide to infosys.I just told my project work & the languages that i know & told them that i would like to provide best of my work to infosys with honesty & dedication.After that the manager asked that if he give me any project then how will i handle it. I told him each & every point of s/w life cycle from requirement to testing & debugging. then he asked if u r the manger how will u handle the project .I described that i 'll assign each person the job acc to his qualification & experience. then he asked how wil u motivate ur team members . i have given 2 -3 points & finally the result was declared after half an hour & i got selected.
So in the end, i would like to say that interview is nothing but a conversation in which u r judged just by talkin.Also keep in mind that dont try to bulf the other person bcoz these persons r perfect mnd readers & they can easily catch what is inside u. so dont worry it is very easy to get through infy by just a bit of hard work & communication skills.
All the best
