Placement Papers - Infosys

Hi Friends

This is Divya from GANDHI INSTITUTE FOR TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT. Infy had come to our college on 17th March 2008. Around 500 students satisfied the eligibility criteria.

The written round had:
1. Aptitude:40 minutes..
this paper was very easy.. the puzzles were damn easy.. there were 2 puzzles with 10 questions.. one on seating arrangement and one on languages spoken by people.
five non verbal reasoning questions..very easy..
the data interpretation was a bit tough and syllogisms were a cakewalk.
the data sufficiency questions were easy.

2. Verbal ability:35 minutes..
this paper was actually tough though I am from an English medium school... the sentences were very lenghty and it takes lot of time to read them and then interpret them. it is always recommended to attempt as many questions as u can..thats the written test. 

The results were declared after about 3 hours and only 42 students were selected from 500 students.. I thanked God and then got ready for the interview. there was hardly any time between the announcement of results and the interview.

Interview experience:
me: may i come in sir
he: sure please come in and have your seat. he gave me my written test answer sheet and asked me to put a signature on the marks.
he: tell me what do u like to do the most?
me: blah blah.
he: what does father do?
me: blah blah.. the person must have been a finance person becuse he then took the interview to a debate between finance and engineering.. he asked me why engg? why not banking? (my dad is in a bank) i told...he said outrightly i am not convinced!!
me: yes sir i will convince u... n then again blah blah...
he: ok again tell me what do u like most...
me: sir i like being a team leader...
he: Divya..dont tell me those answers which u saw in the net...tell me answers which come from the core of ur heart..
me: yes sir i am ateam palyer..i was the school captain.. head girl..blah blah and i explainend my achievements during my captaincy..
he: good
he: how do u handle conflict??
me........
he: tell me something intersting..
me: blah blah..
he: thank u Divya..it was nice talking to u
me: thanq sir have a nice day.

So friends that was my experience... only hard work is not sufficient..luck also plays a lot of role.. the results came after a few hours at around 8.30 pm and 30 ppl got selected from our coll.. there was shouting everywhere and ppl were shouting all over the place!!!
