Hi Friends

I have attended the INFY off campus which was held on 30th October. I have applied thru mail (I suppose in May or April)... guys u ll definately get a call from Infy unless u r eligible to meet their criteria... u ll get a mail 15-20 days before the test is being cnducted. So theres a lot of time to prepare. Mine was an online test conducted my MERITRAC.

The written test consists of 2 section...
1) Non-Verbal (jus go thru the RS aggarwal Verbal and non verbal reasoning and I suggest u to prepare the CAT material.. it really helps a lot..
2) English.. It consists of basic Eglish.. so no need to worry... if u r good in English u can crack...

Syllogisms are very imp... my first q? was analytical reasoning...
somethg like.... there are 6 people.. each doesnt wear same color tie or cap and some conditions are given...
firstly dont panic and work it out without any tensions... u can get the answer... if u really feel its tough.. work out the rest and com back and do the part u have left...

Rest are easy... It also consists of comparisions..

HR:
It doesnt contain any tech qs. They will ask puzzles and HR related qs. So need to worry about ur technical skills....

Firstly I was asked how was the pattern before and how is it now?
