Placement Papers - Syntel

There are 4 rounds in Syntel recruitment process and every round is the elimination round.

1) WRITTEN TEST:

My written test was held on march 8th 2016 at Hyderabad.

- Verbal 30 questions (20 minutes)
- Aptitude 30 questions (20 minutes)
- Reasoning 30 questions (20 minutes)

Though the time is less cutoff will be 50% in all the modules, so 8 out of 10 people will clear this round.

I got the mail on march 31 and my further rounds are scheduled on april 2nd.

2) GROUP DISCUSSION:

There are 10 persons in each group out of which 5 to 7 persons are selected. My topic is RELIGION VS POLITICS. Just speak three or four relevant points with fluency and confidence, don\'t grab others choice in GD, it leads to elimination.

Prepare from "careerRIDE.com" for GD.

Some other topics are,

- IS SCIENCE BOON OR BANE?
- ARE WOMEN GOOD MANAGERS?
- EDUCATION SYSTEM IN INDIA.
- IS CHINA THREAT TO INDIA?
- LOVE MARRIAGE VS ARRANGED MARRIAGE.

3) TECHNICAL ROUND:

In this round the 50% of the people were eliminated.

HR: Thank you and results will be displayed within 15 days.

After three months very few CSE and IT people got the calls regarding their selection and till now (September 15) no other ECE, EEE, CIV and mech people got the call whether they are selcted or not.

Though I am from CSE, I didnt got the call from Syntel but now I am an IBMer.

So guys after your HR round forget about Syntel completely and try to attend other interviews, Syntel has the worst recruitment team than other MNCs. So better don\'t put any hopes on Syntel and keep trying for other companies.
