1-APTITUDE TEST

My aptitude test was online. Ther is no need to panic ,its very simple. There was no sectional cut off & no negative marking. Time was fixed for particular section, once the time for one section is over u can not return back to it or change the answers for that section’s can change the answers in a particular section in the time limit provided for that section, for example u can change the answers of English section in the time provided ,first 20 minutes but after that u can not, as after that quantitative section will come automatically.

 

 It has 3 sections:-
1>English -(time-20 minutes)-(10 synonyms + 10 antonyms + 8 fill in the blanks + 1 passage)
2>Quantitative -(time-40 minutes)-(38 questions)

3>Critical Reasoning -(30 minutes)-(3 reasoning passage)

 

1>ENGLISH

In case of English, the paper was very very standard. Most of the antonyms & synonyms were really new ,i mugged many but it didn’t helped me allot, but i will also suggest that go through different paper like mine one. U have to use urIQ to solve most of them, i will suggest don’t waste extra energy on mugging up anto. & syno., but ya mug up the common ones.

# Synonyms & synonyms:-

Most of the words were new, so i don’t remember, but still what i remember i will write, do both antonym & synonym of the word ...

19>An aircraft takes off from A (89o N Lat , 20o E ) at 6.00 AM local time to B (50o S , 40o W ). If the flying time is 10 hours what is the local time of landing at B?
Ans:12:00pm


 Don’t worry for N,S.E & W  it does not matters .

1o change == 4mins
Here 20 o+40 o=60 o
So 60*4=240 mins……4hrs
If time change not considered ,then after 10 hrs it will reach at the same palce after 6:00+10:00=4:00pm

4:00pm-4hrs=12:00pm

HR

My Technical & HR was combined, as i m from Electronics & Communication department so i prepared two of my subjects firstly Digital electronics and the second one as Tele communication. In computer field i did C & Data Structure only.

Then i was called...............

I opened the door and took permission to come in..............

 

ME> Sir, may i come in?

HR>come in.

HR> sit down

ME> thank u Sir

 

Then i forwarded my file
