INFOSYS PAPER ON 6th FEBRUARY 2008

Hi Friends,

Here is the pattern dear frnds
1. logical reasoning (30 ques) 40 min
2. English section (40 ques) 35 min  
For logical reasoning go through rs aggarwal, the imp chapters well, that’s enough but do them thoroughly.

From 1997-2002,data was given on students studied in different streams  like arts ,commerce ,engineering, medical, agriculture and science. Questions were like....
1.Number of students studying medicine is what %ge of no of students studying engineering? 

2.% of Students studying commerce in yr 1999 is what % of students studying in all the yrs?(ans E(no one was correct)) ............... Like that.... questions in this section were easy but time consuming better try to approximate and save time..  

English section....... it is as follows

1. 2 paragraphs based question very easy ( try to do it in last minutes as it is very easy u have to just go thru it once it  is of total 10 marks ). There were two paragraphs one was big one and second was relatively shorter. I did the shorter one and it was on green house effect- easy one u can even answer the questions even without reading paragraph.

2.  5 ques were given – in that each ques carries four options n u have to find the correct sentence – 5 marks

3. Theme detection 5 ques

4. Fit the correct word in the blanks. This is of 5 marks,,,,

5. 5 ques were given – in that each ques carries four options n u have to find the correct sentence – 5 marks  

for verbal I will say that go for wren n martin (or Raymond Murphy) n cover articles , tenses, prepositions, subject n verb relations...trust me friends these books  will help u a lot in clearing this round.

For over all logical n English prepare sincerely and friends C2D (cooperate to dominate) policy will be really helpful, even though u have done sincere efforts better do along with ur frnds. Written results were announced in the evening around 7 and I was one of the short listed candidates among 34 form our college. We were asked to leave n appear the next day for interview.  Next day interview started around 12 o’clock. 

There were eight panels and my interview went like this...................

Me: may I come in sir?
Int: come in take urseat.
Me: thank u sir, very good morning sir.
Int: good morning , so u r sriram mohan nedunuri?

Me: sir I am interested in cooking  and I have made many innovative dishes with rice with different ingredients...i can cook fried rice tasty n sir I am sure u cant find it outside.

Then he asked me four puzzles two verbal n two non-verbals ...those are....
1.Using 8 8’s and using only ‘+’,arrange them to add up to thousand? I have tried and my approach was right...he waited for a min n asked me verbal puzzles.
Ans...888+88+8+8+8=1000
2. An electric train is going from east to west what’s the direction of it’s smoke?(electric train doesn’t have smoke).
3. Mary’s father has four children luci, ana, Britney n who is the forth one?(Mary it self). I have answered both the verbal but not answered any non-verbal puzzle...they will just see urapproach n check how confidently u answer..................................

Int: ok, if u were a leader how u manage ursubordinates if they don’t perform well?
Me: sir, first I will treat them as friends n give them permissible freedom n encourage their innovative ideas . if they feel any trouble in doing any job then I will try to deal them personally n even if they lag behind then I will circulate the work among them. In this way I will manage .i think he was impressed by my answer.
Int: what do u mean by permissible freedom?
Me: sir if we give over freedom, they may go beyond limits...that are why....
Int: what was ur role in the event that u have organized in urcollege tech fest?
Me: sir I managed the event...bla bla bla....................

after the interview we were asked to sit in a room n after one hr the senior HR announced the results n I was one of the final students who have been SELECTED. Really my placement experience had many unexpected turns but I can’t discuss them now.....but all I can say is “PRAY PRAY N PRAY TO GOD THAT’S ALL ..................SUCCESS WILL BE URS...........ALL THE BEST”
