Reg qp
 
1 q was on non verbal reasoning, 1 was on arrangement of sensences in the proper order n another was like arranging ppl based on their status starting from the richest  based on some data given, 1 was on that grass problem usually asked in infy n 1 more q was like this.

A person arrives to the station 2 hr b4 schedule. the driver who was suppose to pick him up at the right time in the station leaves home to station so that he'll reach their occording to schedul.But that person calls home n leaves station walking home after hearing that the driver has left he travels some 3 miles n get into the car n reaches home 1 hr b4 schedule how long is his house frm station?
Old papers wont help.  They gave different papers for different batches.

I can't recall questions n i strongly suggest u not to depend upon the questions previously asked nor their pattern.
Iam sure they won't repeat. B prepared for anything, stress on logical reasoning. They have told that the technology and the place for reporting would be their choice.

There would be 2 years bond.

I attended the test on nov 1st n 2nd.
Test, gd n interview along with the result will happen within 2 days.
