Hi Friends

I m Jyothsna, pursuing my B.tech 3rd year in computers. I was selected for INFOSYS that was conducted on 19th May at GMRIT colg, Rajam (near Vizag). It was an off campus for us... total thr were 5 colleges for competition. Now let me share my experiences n the selection procedure of the placement....

First v had a ppt at 10:30a.m. n thn thy asked us to go to our respective examination halls... thr v were given an application form... plz frnds be careful while filling it.... before going to interview plz calculate ur total marks n ur aggregate percentage n hav ur ID card with u n also two photographs with u... don\'t approximate ur percentage... plz put whtever percent u actually have... this process shud be completed within 1/2 hr time....

And the next process is written test...
TEST PAPER PATTERN: We will have two sections viz:
1.Apptitude n Reasoning
2.English

1. Apptitude n Reasoning: In this section the time alloted is 45 mins for 30 questions. It consists of,
* 5 ques based on the data given (In our paper we had the data given about colours tht painted on a six sided cube n ques based on the data)
* 5 ques based on Odd fig out.(A bit easy)
* 5 ques on Data Sufficiency.
* 5 ques on Data Interpretation. (Learn abt. Bar charts,Pie charts,line graphs,etc...)
* 5 ques based on an anlytical problem.(Here v have to corelate the given facts with the help of a table n in our paper it was a bit difficult)
* 5 ques based on 9 rules of Syllogism. (plz learn the 9 rules of syllogism from R.S.Agarwal perfectly so tht u can answer thm very easily)

The way I have answered was... first I answered data related ques i.e, abt the cube colours n thn syllogism ques, next odd fig out n thn data sufficiency next data interpretation n at last analytical problem.. In this way I was able to answer most of the questions....

2. English: In this section the time alloted is 35mins for 40 ques. It consists of,
* 10 ques on Comprehension passages (v will have two long passages given n 5 ques each based on each passage.plz don\'t start with this...)
* 10 ques based on Correction of sentences (don\'t start with this also)
* 7 ques based on correcting the underlined phrase.
* 7 ques based on filling with an appropriate word.(Better to start with this)
* 6 ques based on paragraph n inferences (easy)

On the whole, the paper is not tht much hard to tackle but our reading speed n understanding power plays an important role... Let me tel how I have answered it in time... first I started with filling the appropriate word, next correcting underlined phrases n thn paragraph inferences n thn correction of sentences....n thn i was left with 10 mins... now i read the questions n the options given for comprehension n thn i searched for the answers in the given passage.... So in this way I was able to answer most of the ques given...in this way i was able to answer my paper within time... whenever u feel a ques is a bit difficult plz leave it n go for the next one... don\'t waste even a single second...

Our test was completed by 1:20 n our results were announced at 5:30p.m n thn v had our HR interview immediately... a total of 51 members out of 150, were selected from our colg after the written test. Now let me share my HR interview experience....

HR Interview:
There was time after announcing the written test results... So I was a bit tensed but not much (bcoz i was already selected for another company) n whn i entered the room, I wished the interviewer with a pleasant smile n he too asked me to take the seat...first he started with technical questions based on Microprocessors n thn on Operating Systems... I was able to answer most of thm.... all the questions were based purely on basics of the subject.. next he asked me to choose a general topic n speak on it... I hav choosen Child Labour as my topic n I was able to perform well bcoz i always participate in debate n elocution competitions.. thn he gave me a paper whr a situation was given n i shud find the place whr actually the problem arised n thn how could I help to solve it whn i was in tht position.... I gave him two solutions but he want something else more... I was unable to give another solution but he made me to tel tht solution by giving me the hints.... and at last he asked me whether u hav any queries... I asked him abt wht exactly is Global Delivery Model (GDM) tht is followed by Infosys.. n thn how is the performance appraisal done in the company n the last ques is whether i hav any chance of doing my MBA in future... he answered to all the ques n i said thnk u n thn he said thnk u n u can leave......I was not fully satisfied with wht I answered but I was satisfied with my body language bcoz i was smiling pleasantly throughtout my interview.....this is an important thingh to remember... even if u r tensed be cool n perform well....

At last the final results were announced at 9:30 p.m. n when my name was read I felt really happy. 21 members of my colg were selected. First of all thnx a lot to all the members who contributed their papers which helped me a lot for Infosys selection and hope my paper will help many more students....
