Hi Friends

Mastek is very good company & give ur best 2 be a MASTEKEER.

Total 80 questions, no sectional cutoff, -ve marking 0.25 marks
1] Aptitude
2] Technical interview
3] Personal interview

1] Aptitude:
This section consist of 3 sub sections such as logical, mathematics, verbal

Logical is very very easy. Maths is bit tougher than logical, but if u have gone through R.S. Agarwal then no problem at all. 1st solve logical section, after that solve maths section. dnt attempt Question on flow chart they r confusing and time consuming so go 4 flow chart Q only if time permits.

Verbal section is not that easy as other 2 sections. questions such as choose appropriate phrase and questions on passage were there. passage was very lengthy. so i suggest go 4 tis section after solving logical & maths section but solve this b4 solving flow chart questions.
