Hi Friends,
Dis is Kuntal here frm Somaiya engg coll in Mumbai....i got selected on 27th july after clearin APTITUDE n den HR...

The aptitude papers comprised of two sections: -
1) Logical Reasoning - It waz based on CAT papers...some questions were really tough....I had hardly refered any CAT book before so i took loads ot time solving them...

u guys do refer IMS notes of logical reasoning widout fail....also remember to maintain a very well organized rough work during d test....bec i had hardly managed 2 get 10 correct answer out of 30... but i tried each n every sum in rough work n marked sumwant similar answers...

2) Verbal section: - This section waz considered to b  simpler than the logical section by most...but verbal section turned out to be the toughest section of all time....the entire verbal section waz of GRE level n by no means an easy one...but dont panic !!!

wat i did waz completed 30 q's out of 40 by dedicating enough time to each question...n den d remaining 10 q's of RC....in last 5 mins...bec d RC's were of 3 pages n 2 pages each...so no point in wasting time der...jst read d RC questions n try 2 luk for d answers ....

I think the cutoff waz jst 50 % for both the sections...380 students had appeared n only 51 cleared the Apitude....

Then HR interview started....
Interviewer: cum in kuntal...hav a seat.
      Me: thank u sir
Interviewer: tel me abt ur self(std queation of HR)

Hi friends...........

                          I am Yuvraj Agnihotri from Punjab engineering college,Chandigarh. I am selected for Infosys,so i jst want to share my experience and knowledge wid u ppl ,wch will help u a lot if u r interested in joining this cmpany.

Frankly speaking, its not such a rocket science, it is only the hard work for a day or two... and u r selected.



Process:

1) Written paper

2) Interview



------------------------------------

1) Now,written paper is divided into two parts.. mainly Aptitude and Verbal ability.

    Aptitude                ------ 30 Questions------ 40 minutes

    Verbal ability(VA) ------ 40 Questions------ 35 minutes

---> Our "Aptitude" paper was above average level,I mean,it was a bit time consuming. Actually it was a good aptitude paper.

I selected easiest of questions first and answerd thm.. thn accordingly, I solved some more,in order of their increasing difficulty level. but frankly speaking,I was able to solve about 16-18 questions in the regulation time. Rest I made guesses( always do it,if negative marking is not thr). U will clear the cut off without mch difficulty,if u hv genuine understanding. Other option is read R.D.Sharma(i hd nt read it).



Then our "Apti"  paper was taken,and "VA" Q. paper ws given to us.



---> Now,this paper consist of 2 reading comprehensions & rest Sentence making & Simple grammer.

I attempted reading comp. in the end as they r generally time consuming and less scoring. So,first do the easy part,then the difficult one. This paper was comparitively easier than previous one. No need to do extra to clear this one.



**NOTE--- Each paper has its individual cut-off.

We had 6 panels in total. One person in each panel. Interviews r basically of HR type. Whr u will b asked to describe yourself, about the newspaper u read,something related to ur interest,may be some puzzles(not tough) etc.

My interview was basically the "stressed" one type. Where I was put under some sort of pressure(rude behavior etc,it depends on your luck and panel). My hobby was music and singing,so i was asked about music and even to sing a song(which i sung well..) .

overall,it was a typical HR interview.

If u have confidence,u will clear it easily. Be cool during interview (sp during solving a puzzle). My interview was a stressed 15 min HR interview. (All other panels were relatively cool and calm.)
The interviews were ended at about 11 pm and our results were out at 11.30 pm. Out of 73, 62 were selected. I was one of them.
So friends, it is not a difficult process,but requires confidence and faith in yourself.
