INFOSYS PATTERN & INTERVIEW - 30 JAN 2008 - NOIDA

Hi Friends

We are students of GNIT, Greater Noida. We appeared in INFOSYS Campus recruitment at CITM, Faridabad on 30th January 2008

We were asked to report at 8:00 am. First of all Mr. Sudhir Mishra (INFOSYS) delivered a PPT at 9:00am. you should definitely reach on the alloted time. The PPT was really very motivating. you should attend it.

A total of around 1100 students appeared inthe written exam. it started at around 12 pm.

The written test was conducted in two phases:

1. Logical Reasoning (30 ques in 40 mins)  

The pattern was as follows:
ques 1-5: Puzzle
ques 6-10: Pictorial Reasoning
ques 11-15:Data Sufficiency
ques 16-20:Pie Chart
ques 21-25:Puzzle again
ques 26-30:Syllogism

I would suggest that pay additional attention to PUZZLES while preparation.

For this section R.S. Aggarwal would be sufficient.

2. Verbal Reasoning (40 ques in 35 min)

the pattern was as follows:
ques 1-5: passage
ques 6-10: passage again
ques 11- 20: choose correct sentenses
ques  21-30: fill in the blanks
ques 31-35: Correction of underlined sentence
ques  36-40: passage conclusion(consult R.S aggarwal)

Note:
1.There was no negative marking
2.There was single set given to all the students
3.We were provided a single answer sheet which had separate column for both the sections,firstly we were provided reasoning section and after that ques paper was taken back, and after 5 mins, 2nd paper was given, we had to mark the answer in the same answer sheet.

Result of written test was declared around 6:00pm. 71 students were selected from out of 200 students appeared from our college.

We both were selected. Our name was called successively. Only students from our college were interviewed on the same day. Others were called next day. Immediately after the result was declared we were called for the 2nd and final round, HR Interview.

That's all. There was no seperate technical Interview but you should prepare bascics of your engineering trade.

For HR Round
You should definetely brush up current affairs..
You shud know the
1. news of latest month (including International, Financial and sports)
2. You should be aware of the name of the ministers and all that
3. You should be having perfect and very deep knowledge of the topic that you are discussing with your HR.

for example... if you said u read newspaper daily, suppose u answer The Times Of India.. u shud know even the name of its publishing house.

Suppose u say u watch or play football... then u shud know the name of the clubs, international and national players plus their profile, rules of the game, dimensions of the field, etc

Result of Interview was declared at around 11 pm. 45 students from our college were selected. we two were among them

We all started screaming, shouting. We would consider it as best day of our life till date.
