INFOSYS PAPER ON 27th MARCH AT BHUBANESWAR

I am giving my experience throughout the day of campus recruitment by Infosys on 27th

March, 2008 at our college (ITER, BBSR).
Package is 3.25 per annum B.tech/BE/MCA.

They gave a form where you need to enter your necessary details. You need one passport
size color photograph and your percentage has to be calculated from total marks
including an additional or optional subject that means all the subjects you have appeared.

There were two written tests one is Reasoning ability test (RAT) and the other one is
Verbal ability test (VAT). RAT was of 40 minutes for 30 questions and VAT was of 35
minutes for 40 questions.
RAT:
It consist a north-south-east-west distance problem. 5 questions were asked based on this
problem (very easy).5 Nonverbal reasoning questions i.e. finding out odd one out from 5
simple figures.

A simple puzzle:
One thief thefts a keyboard, a monitor and a printer from three separate stores on 3
different months January, February and march to make his own computer. He uses 3
different devices each once at a time. The devices were screwdriver, wire cutter and
appliers. Wire cutter was sensitive to monitor. And some simple hints were given and you
can find it out easily using a table.
5 questions were asked based on this puzzle.

Other questions were from time and distance, probability, ratio and proportion, 3 to 4
other questions I’ve not there and I simply bluffed as there were no negative markings.

VAT:
Two simple paragraphs were there. You need not have to read the paragraph thoroughly
because you can get the answer of the question directly. Each paragraph had five
questions each.

Other questions are:

1) Fill in the blanks type
2) Correct the sentences type
3) Two statements would be given, you have to decide whether the third statement
follows or not from the two given statements.

More than 400 had appeared, out of them 131 were selected in the written. Out of them
122 were finally selected.

The H.R interview of mine is as follow:

Me: good afternoon sir
He: very good afternoon (he forwarded his hand to shake hand with me). He asked me to
have my seat
Me: thank you sir.
He: keep your file there and sign it here for your authentication (I signed in the
application form given to us previously).
He: other than academics what else you do?
Me: sir I love to solve sudokus and riding cycle.
He: what else?
Me: I listen music and create a humorous environment.
He: what else?
Me: I some times help my younger brother in studies.
He: what is he doing now?
Me: he is continuing his BCA at NICE bbsr.
He: who is your ideal person?
Me: my brother.
He: why
Me: explained and he got impressed.
He: have you shown any leadership quality
Me: yes sir, I was elected as leader for two consecutive years in my school.
He: Asked me to explain how you had shown your leadership
Me: done.
He: tell me some good achievements of your life
Me: done
He: tell me your weakness and some failures in life.
Me: said
He: how you are going to overcome these.
Me: (These sorts of questions I had already prepared; so done)
He: ok (he laughed) and wished me all the best. And asked me to leave the place.
Me: thank you sir. (And left).

I was a bit nervous during the interview and my lips were getting dried as I was
interviewed in the same way by WIPRO but God knows why I was not selected.

Always try to say the truth the INFY people bring H.R professional from the meta-i
group. They all are above age 40. They are quite experienced professionals. so don’t
bluff; some of my friends have been caught bluffing .

Fresher world. Com is really helpful for me as it gives most recent campus experiences..

college out of 70 who were through APTI

And due to Gods grace I was one among them.

The Selection consists of 2 Phases :-

5 questns on puzzle test
5 questns on data interpretation (graphs)

test. JUS GO THROUGH IT. IT'SREALLY HELPFUL.

2) Verbal Reasoning (English) :-

While answering questns u hav to keep the time in mind.... bcoz time management plays
major role in these type of papers IN verbal section ur english knowledge is checked.
1) Two RC’s, a very big one and time consuming so attempt them at the end .(refer
BARONS GRE )
5) Select the correct statement from the set of 4 statements. One is correct and some r

called after thatMPEC, then after NIEC and at last BBDNITM. AT 10.00 pm i was
waiting 4 my turn, a guy was forwarding the form and the aptians sheet of each student to
the interviewer.l asked that guy about the nos scoredin apti but he told me that he
can't.but he indicated that ur apti went good.At 10.10 pm i entered into the room. The
interviewer was an old man of my fathers age. The first ques was are you still awake i
responded positively. then he asked me to guess the no of correct ques. attempted by me.I
guessed 50 to 60%.dont be over confident.I thinkmy nos must be good enough to be
asked and this must be the reason for unconventional interview. He first asked me to
explain what is software? to a general person. i explained .Bieng confident and fluent is
key to success.Wit also matters although PI is general Still to ensure place ment take
care.Puzzles will be asked ,to help you guys i m contributing some puzzles. and ques.

INFOSYS PAPER ON 12th MARCH 2008

Hi friends, I am Piyush Gaur from JIIT Noida. INFOSYS came to our campus on 12th
and 13th of March. Three colleges participated namely JIIT Noida, JUIT
Waknaghat(Solan) and JIET Guna.

No. of students appeared:

JIIT - 470
JUIT - 280
JIET - 183

No. of students selected after written test:

JIIT - 320
JUIT - 160
JIET - 70

No. of students finally selected:

JIIT - 293 (I was luckily among them :-))
JUIT - 140
JIET - 41

Guys I think most of you must be knowing what Infosys and who all eligible (infact
everybranch is eligible, one just have to clear that % criteria).
Eligibility Criteria - 60% X 60% XII and 60% in all previous semesters. (For B.Tech
only,MCA and M.Tech students do consult your TPO)

Now before the written test there was a presentation in that we were told that try getting
atleast 20 correct in both Analytical & Logical Reasoning section as well as Verbal
section. There is no funda like upper cut off and no negative marking so attempt all the
questions.

At that time only the person told us that they are expecting around 500 selections so that
was something which really gave us confidence.

LOGICAL REASONING PART Questions: 30 Time: 40 mins

Ques 1-5. It was a puzzle test on 7 people (A,B,C,D....G) playing cards. 100 cards were
there distributed equally among them then there were some transactions like A got 5
cards from E etc etc.... something like this. Ques 6-10. All question were based on
finding odd one out from the given figures. All were easy.
Ques 11-15: Then came the Syllogisms 6 statements were given namely A,B,C,D,E & F.
Then from the options we were to find which of them follow. Eg. options are 1. ABD 2.
BEF 3. BDE 4.
ACF 5. None of these. So work in a reverse manner i.e from Answer to question.
Ques 16-20: A Data Interpretation question usually while solving the RS Agarwal you
wont find them difficult but this one was not that easy. 2 graphs were given (both of them
were line graphs) one was Liabilities as expenditure on safety mining. Another was
percentage increase in liabilities per year. Language of the question was not that easy it
demanded 2-3 readings. One ques I found to be bouncer type.
Ques 21-25: Another puzzle was there this one was pretty simple than the previous one.
Can be found in RS Agarwal Verbal and Non-Verbal. 6 aspirants were there preparing
for bank examination RBI, ICSB and Andhra Bank. 3 males and 3 females with the given
information make a table then apply logic to complete it.
Ques 26-30: Then came the Data Sufficienct part again it was easy I think only one of
them was bouncer type rest all were fine and easy.

AFTER A BREAK OF 5 MINUTES next paper is distributed of:

VERBAL PART Questions: 40 Time: 30 mins
There were 2 passages for reading comprehension both were easy. There there were
sentence correction type questions those were also fine. Then came the fill in the blanks.
Then there were questions in which we were asked to find grammatical mistakes that was
also quite easy.
Overall verbal section was easy than the logical aptitude section. This is what I felt and
my other friends. Results were declared after 3 hours. Then Interviews started since due
to large no. of selections most of the interviews were taken on the following day i.e. 13th
or march.

This one was mine Interview:

Piyush: Good Afternoon sir
Interviewer: Good afternoon, have a seat.
P: Thank you sir
I: So u r from biotech, y did u opted for it most of the girls opt for this field:
P: No sir its not like that its just the matter of interest and I found biotech a diff. and

INFOSYS PAPER ON 18th MARCH AT BHUBANESWAR

Hi to all Freshersworld readers, I am Abhishek from Orissa Engineering College. I would

like to thank to freshersworld first as for giving us opportunities to write our experience
in our campus selection. I hope I am the first person as a freshersworld columnist who is
sharing his failure experience in the campus selection. But failure is the panacea of
affluence

Infosys Technology has come to our college campus on 18th March 2008. We have
reached college by 9.00 AM as the events were going to be held as:
Preplacement Talk: In this event two Infocisions (Mr. Sudhansu n Mss. XYZ) have
presented their topics and all about Infosys Technology. The main prospect of this
company was it is the first company that has been registered in NASDAQ (American
stock Market).

Written Test: After that we have said to fill up the forms provided by Infosys before
taking the Written test. Be sure that you have to be very specific and particular in these
circumstances. After that we have taken the test. It was my first campus selection. So I
was very perturbed and flummoxed. I was feeling the desiccate of time during the test
and was feeling very gawky due to being very thirsty. The test was comprised of two
sections:
1. Analytical: In this section questions like Cube and Dice (5 questions), Data Sufficiency
(5 questions), Data Interpretation (5questions), Figure Series (5 questions), Syllogism (10
questions I think)
2. English: Questions from Two big passages, Theme detection, Fill the appropriate
words, Tense checking were asked. It was very easy to solve rather than the Analytical
section

Anyway the consternation of our test mammoth has completed by 12.15 PM. I was
feeling very suffocated and hopeless, as I have done very miserable in that exam. I have
completely left my speculation to go for the interview.
Interview: The list of selected 42 candidates out of 285 was being called in a row
according to their performance in the written exam. Very surprisingly, I was obtained a
position of 7th/8th in the list. Unfortunately I have not kept ready my files..even if I have
not tied the knot of the tie on my neck bcoz I was desperately thinking not to be selected
in the written exam.. I have answered around 50-60 questions properly. Friends don’t
think yourself very menial and flunky in written exam bcoz it is purely contingent on the
performance of other candidates. And one thing you must jot assiduously that you should
be very particular in your dress, your files and other appurtenances.

Anyway, I was preparing for the interview by the time they have abruptly called me for
the interview. I have given only 2 minutes to prepare my mindset to give that interview as
after declaration of result they have suddenly called my name for the interview. I was
very despondent at that time. Friends you have to garner all particulars: Mind, body,
Heart and Soul at the time of interview. I was sweating at that time as it was the time of
2.45 pm.

I am barefaced and candid to write all blemish that I have done in that interview so that
they were being vexation and rejected me.
Me: May I came in Sir…Good afternoon Sir..
HR: Please have ur seat.
Me: Thank you Sir
HR: Abhishek ur father is the Pri cipal and Readed in political science…rite (as I v
mentioned it in the form b4 taking the written exam)
Me: Yes sir..He is working in….bla bla bla….
HR: okay…where r u staying now?
Me: sir, I m staying now at Chandrasekhar pur….(interrupted)
HR: Well then how are u going to ur college
Me: I v told the communication details
HR: Well Abhishek , Have you done any extra curricular activities
Yes Sir, I v involved my self in scouts during my schooling..i v explained all about our
camp activities in literacy programmme.But unfortunately he did nt know anything about
Scouts…only knew NCC..I v explained that these twos were purely different things..But
he didn’t convinced at all….
HR: Okay..have u done anything such type of jobs in ur college..I mean working as
volunteers
Me: yes Sir, I v involved my self in the Blood donation camp that has been scheduled in
our college campus very recently. I along with other volunteers collected a group who
were interested to donate blood and with a confabulation I talked them about the benefit
and all particulars.
Hr: Well tell me how u ll describe the term Information Technology to a layman?
Me: I v explained briefly wat Information is and wat technology is…and also told the
examples in our daily life…after that I v made a blunder as I v mentioned about Clients,
Server, Internet…which are not included in the knowledge of a layman.
HR: well abhishek..U r feeling very tired..Please take water
Me: No sir, I am not tired…(But unfortunately I v taken the water.. friends u sud b full b4
an interview..don’t take anything from HR)
HR: Okay Abhishek…have you involved in a combat with your friends….neway have
you gone to any friend’s mess..what u v seen there?
Me: Yes Sir ..I v gone there most often.. I v found my friends often involved in te`te-e-
te`te…their paraphronias were scattered in a cumbersome manner..but one very good
thing I v noticed in them that is their cooperation and team spirit staying in a colloquium
(I think at that time the HR didn’t take my answers properly. Friends u sud be very sure
that don’t implement high frequency words and italic phrases during ur communication at
interview..I thought it might focused an impression..but the HR may be thinking that I v
mugged up the answers as we were not using such type of words in our daily life).
HR: okay..Abhishek (being very disappointed) Tell me about urself.
Me: Sir my background till date has been centered around preparing myself to b a very
best IT engineer I can become…I v passed my 10th with 90 % of marks..(interrupted)
Hr: If u r saying that u r very strongly prepared for IT engineer den why dis 3 years
gap????
Me: Sir I was preparing for AIPMT. So..(Interrupted)
HR: U were preparing for medical den why u v joined in engineering…is it
accidentally??
Me: No sir, when I was preparing for medical at that time there was a craze of it. But
despite of breakdown of our economy in India for last two years the demand of IT
industry was robustly spread an arena. so iv chosen a career in IT.
HR: Okay Abhishek..Thank you and best of luck

I have left that hall with a flummoxed face with full of disappointment. Anyway after 1
hour they have declared the name of 38 students. And I found no place for me in that list.
I was very flabbergasted at that time. It may be my sheer bad luck or it may be my
unmaneuverable performance in interview.

Surprisingly I was feeling a sense of nostalgia as my best friend Himansu has selected
and I was very pleased for him..but didn’t express at that time. I was frustrated
,traumatized and horrified at that time. But I vnt left that speculation to b an Infocision
yet as It was my dream company yaar…As u v 2 give exam of Infy in a gap of 9 months I
have to undergo a period of 9 month pregnancy with full of preparation and
determination that I have completely left in that interview…hahahaha….Best Of
luck…Wishing u a happy voyage to Mysore training center

INFOSYS PAPER ON 20thMARCH 2008

Hi, friends this isHARSHAL CHAUDHARYa student of Walchand College of Engg and
now also an Infosyian. I got selected for Infosys through the placement done by it, at
Walchand. Here I am mentioning about my experience during the whole placement
process.

1. Logical and critical reasoning test 30 questions 40 min

2. Verbal reasoning and English test 40 questions 35 min

Logical and critical reasoning test

1-5Q ------- The question was based onthree ladies having some money and a game
played (These r the puzzle test ques of R.S aggrawal v &non-V Type 5).
2-10Q ----- The questions were figure related in which we had to find the correct figure in
sequence.
11-15Q ---
16-20Q --- The question was related to DI in which a table showing number of students
in different branches during 6 years were given and we had to answer questions having
lot of caculations. So I suggest you to do it at last.
21-25Q --- The question was again puzzle type in which 5 peoples A,B,C,D,E,F,Gand H r
sitting aROUND A TABLE.
26-30Q --- The question was syllogism type. In this 6 statements were given with four
combination choices like AFC, ACF etc and we had to find the correct logically related
combination.

(I recommend you to just go through R.S. Aggarwal Verbal & Non Verbal Reasoning.
But prepare well for it. As its one of the deciding factors in clearing Aptitude test.)

Verbal reasoning and English test

1 ---- There were two paragraphs. It will take time so attempt them at last.
2 ---- There were questions on sentence correction in which we had to find correct
replacement for underlined part in passage.
3 ---- There were questions on finding the correct sentence among 4 given sentences.
4 ---- There were questions on filling up the blanks with suitable grammatical words.
5 ---- There were questions related to theme dectecion from a small passage.

The main part or the eliminatoin part of INFOSYS is the Apttitude test &&&&& the rest
is just a WALK ON CAKE.

For our HR INTERVIEWS their were 5 panels and most them were too much
experienced (age more than 45)

HR INTERVIEW:

speed.
d)Picture series-Also do water images and mirror images

correct usage.4 sentences were given out of that 1 sentence was to b
chosen which was grammatically correct.

INFOSYS PAPER ON 12th MARCH 2008

Hello People!! first of all ....all the very best for ur Infy Exam.... Infy is my dream
company ...n its the fourth company i have cracked after Satyam, TCS, and
Accenture...feels like heaven!!!!!!!! anyways people who still dnt have a job...don't worry
infy won't leave u disappointed..'coz it took a lot of people from my college
about 200 people appeared for the test
about 132 got shortlisted for the interview...
and 115 got selected.....
huge number isn't it????

Written Exam
Carry ur marksheets they need ur xact marks of coll, X n XII n they verify those so be
careful ur CV also has the consistent data

Analytical Section
30 ques 40 min

Here u got to be 100% involved in the paper...don't assume the analytical part to be too
simple 'cz so many ppl qualified...max. of my freinds were preparin for MBA n that's the
reason of so many selections......

so regarding analytical

1.10 questions puzzle type-prepare analytical problem from Puzzle test R.S
Aggarwal....but they are actually too simple n infy asks a bit higher than those...similar to
those of Barrons 12th edition
2. 5 ques- syllogism...remember all rules from again R.S Aggarwal Verbal Non-Verbal
3. 5 ques-Conclusion, In Conclusion Questions dnt assume anything on ur own...just
imagine u know nothing about the topic and all u know is what is written in the question
and then read the options
4. 5 ques figure -odd one out -Well, I attepted figure questions the firt 'coz they were too
easy n no need practising the500 questions in RS.
5. 5 ques DI- pie chart type...practice 4m RS Quanti

so that was analytical....u may go without ne preps also but with a fresh mind and then
solve questions with all ur effort...but manage time well

Verbal Section
40 ques 35 min
Now this depends 4m person 2 person...since i always loved English...this was very easy
4 me...

Now certain tips here

1. While chosing sentence correction questions read all the options simultaneously.. i
mean read first 4 words of all options n then proceed with the options u feel may be
right....prepositions, tenses is a must practice for ppl who confuse in these. There were8
ques
2. Reading comprehensions do at last n read the questions first n u wud b able to directly
pick answers 4m passage
3. Fill in the balnks....answer elimination process wrks best

i don't remember more...but eliminating wrong answers and then guessin between the
probable correct answers helps!!!

one thing remember more...

with plural sub. verb will not end with s
as- The girls dance
not The girls dances... and with sin. sub a pl verb will come
as- The girl dances n max of ques contains such errors... others are of prepostions like
to,at etc.

Interview Experience
No technical
key factors they see
1. Values inculcated in u.. so be well dressed and disciplined
2. Learnability
3. Flexibility
4. Confidence
5. Communication Skills

My Interview was taken by a Sikh person whi was quite aged n was damn Strict Well not
boring u wid the entire conversation wot he asked me was
1. Countries and currencies(The imp ones)
2. Sates of India n Capitals..esp new ones
3. Pesident of India nad presidential candidates of USA

where i was trapped was wen i answered the president of India as -Pratibha Patil n yes u
thought its absolutely correct no guys its a wrong statement I shud hav answered
Mrs./Shrimati Pratibha Patil

so he replied "She is at the highest post of the country...shudn't u giv sum respect 2 her"n
i thought i am blown...infy is known 4 values n i thought i am busted so i aplogised but
he asked me 2 leave
N the entire time till results i was damn tensed.....it was my dream company but finally i
was selected...... n one more thing Infy will give a second chance 2 those about whom
they are doubtful....

so all the best hope u dnt need that second chance prepare well n come join infy soon
n say- i am proud to be an INFOSCION...

any queries ...well wnt giv u my mail id...

but contact ur seniors

ALL THE BEST!!!!!

INFOSYS PAPER ON 11th MARCH 2008

Hello people, Infy came for the closed campus in our college on 11th March. 2 other
colleges were also invited for the same.

Well, the first step was the Presentation which lasted for about an hour. Here, they tell
you about Infy, show some videoes, your package, where you will be placed and all.
Better to clarify your all doubts here only as they can trap you in the interview using the
same weapon.

Then we all were taken to the Test-rooms and given out Test papers.
Format was same,
30 Ques for non-verbal in 40 min.
40 Ques for english in 35 min.

The Non-verbal was a good paper, I was able to solve the first 20 ques in about first 20
minutes. The rest were a bit difficult but you can say that you get through if you work
hard enough.
Then comes English : I don't why people hype this paper so much, the paper is quite easy.
The only thing is the passages. They are very long and require one hell lot of a time. I got
about 30 ques in 20 minutes so I was left with ample time for the passages.

However, If you got 30 ques, then consider yourself to be clear for the interview. The
cutoff is around 23-24 for this section and about 15 for the non-verbal section.
Okay here are the stats upto this point:

Total students: Around 350.

Selected for Interview: 86 from 130 (Our college) and 76 from the other ones.

Then the interviews started.

Just remember one thing : If you got the test, you get the job.

Interviews are just a formality.

Okay here is mine:
Me: Good evening etc etc.
Int: Welcome, please close the door and have a seat.
Me: Thank you sir.
Int: Tell me about urself.
Me: Blah Blah Blah.......
Int: Okay, you are made the project manager for a single day job. U needhow many
people ?
Me: About 6-7
Int: Okay, I give you 4. How will you manage ? (Gives paper) Tell the whole schedule.
Me: Blah Blah Blah.......
Int: 2 Puzzles, very simple. Was able to solve both of them.
Thats what happened in my interview. The HR was very very cool person. A lot of talk
about my girlfriend and all. Also about my car and changing tyres etc.
You get the idea what its all about.

After the interview was over,we waited for about 2 hours, then the Results came.

The stats:
Appeared for interview: 86 from ours and 76 from other.
Selected: 83 from our college and 56 from the other. Whoa ?!!!
We shouted and screamed like little kids and went out to the parking and danced ..... at 1
AM in the morning !
Then they came and told us that from now on you will be called as Infoscions and learn
to spell the name correctly....

And that my friends, is the story of Infy.

Best of luck to all and Just be confident.

P.S. I didn't prepare anything for the test. Not even a single page. Aptitude is how's your
mind built and English is what you read n newspapers everyday. Be calm and get the job.
Remember this only.

Bye

INFOSYS PAPER ON 6th MARCH AT KOLKATA

Hi Friends, I am Shubhadip Datta from Govt. College Of Engineering & Ceramic

Technology, Kolkata. There was a poll campus interview of Infosys in our college
campus on 6th March,2008. Almost 375 students from 5 different colleges were attain
this campus interview. And friends good news that I am the one of lucky one to get
chance to take training from Mysore .

Statistic:
No of College=5
Total Students=375
Students who cleared Aptitude Test=25 (Be careful huge reduction in this section)
Students Select in interview=14 (I am one of them)

Selection Procedure:
Infosys is such a company where there is no barrier in stream. That means students from
any stream can sit in Infosys. There are no direct Technical round in Infosys.

The whole Selection Process contains two section Aptitude test.

>Analytical & Logical reasoning:(30 question : 40 minutes)
>English section: (40 question : 35 minutes)

Friends they will not tell about any sectional cut off be careful about section cutoff. I
heard that there is 60% cutoff in first Section, & 50% from second section.

After Aptitude test HR interview.

Study Materials:
>Verbal & Non verbal-R.S . Agarwal.
>Some Time’s CAT study materials.
>And of course last but not least Freshers World (Be Regular & update with this site,
You will get really very help)

Analytical & Logical reasoning

Friends I have not remembered the order of questions but I am telling the questions in
such a order that I follow and I am sure that you also get advantage if you solve question
in such order.
>Syllogism: (5 question) – Friends not only in Infosys but also in others first attempt this
question. It is very easy to solve.
Question Pattern: Statement: All A is B. Some B is C.
Conclusion: I,II
You have no need to memories all the rule of R.S. Agrawal and even you have no need to
draw vein Diagram to solve it, If you follow Time’s CAT materials. There is very simple
rule in Time’s materials by which you can solve a syllogism with in 15 sec.

>Figure Series: (5 questions)- This is really very simple. For practice see Agrawal. But
don’t waste too much time for it.
>Dice & Cube Problem:(5 questions)- In my apti the prob was like below:
A cube is given and is painted six side with six diff colors.
Red is adjacent of yellow and green.
Pink is opposite of yellow.
Brown is in the bottom face

Now Q:1)Which color is in the top face?

Q:2) Which color in the opposite face of Red?
But there may also come others pattern:
There is a cube and it is cut in 27/64/125 equals pieces of cube. Now two face is colored
with black, two green, two red.
Q: No of cube which is painted three faces…No of Uncolored cube…..
Just see 3-5 Example from Agrwal It will come in ur hand.

>Puzzel: (5 questions) – Keep ur head cool for these question. I know puzzle makes
everyone puzzeled. Read the question carefully draw the diagram, matrix and put the data
one by one according to given information. I am sure that every one can solve it.
>Data Interpretation: (5 question) – A chart, graph, table will be given….and you have to
solve some problem on statistics. It will too much time conserving section so do it at
last…..and also follow the Option elimination process.

English Section:
Friends I am really very week in this section. But as I have cleared so you can clear it
easily.
>Two passages and 5 question from each passages: Do it at the last. And before reading
the passage see the question one time.
>Sentence Correction: Be care about tense mistake, spelling mistake, using of
pronoun…..
>Fill in the Blanks: Gain a details idea on preposition, phrase, idioms.
>Theme Detection.

HR Interview
Now the final section. The only one solution to crack the interview is keeping yourself
cool. Friends believe me the Infosys HR panel are the coolest person in the world(At least
for my panel). And always think that they are taking your Interview to sect you , Not to
reject you. Be friendly, polite with them……
I was in the two persons’ panel. And I was interviewed two times. After Completing the
first interview one interviewer told me ―Shubhadip, we are very sorry, Please wait for 5
min outside, we may call you again. ‖

INFOSYS : Fresher Interview And Placement Paper Pattern

Company Name : Infosys

Type : Fresher

Hi I'm Siva from Tamilnadu. Let me first tell about the Written test: The pattern was the
same as mentioned in previous posts mentioned in placementpapers.net. Go through the
examples or just the methods in R.S.Agarwal verbal and non-verbal reasoning,it's worth it.

We had :
1.find odd fig in the series
2.data interpretation
3.directions
4.syllogism
5.data sufficiency
6.comprehension
7.conclusion from passages
8.find the correct sentences
9.data deduction Mine was the first name short listed for the second round.

The HR's were senior people.The HR made everyone comfortable by asking general
questions,only

I had to solve a puzzle which I didn't know how to solve but I tried to do it.He then asked me
what I was doing and I explained ,then he said to leave it.They usually ask you questions from
what you have mentioned in your resume.At Infy they don't like to reject people so they gave
those who didn't perform well in HR, a second chance with other HR's. All you need to do is be
cool and confident.My wishes to all who are going to attend Infosys recruitment,See you at
Infy!!.

INFOSYS PAPER & INTERVIEW - SANGALI

I remember some questions of Infosys Logic paper.

1. A group of friends went to a hotel for Dinner. After having their dinner the Bill
Amount was of Rs 2400. So they decided to distribute it into equal amount for each.
In the group two friends forget to bring their purses along with them. So later on it
has been decided that Rs 100 has to be paid more by the other friends on calculated
amount. So total how many friends were there in the Group?

2. Ashwani you remember the problem which we had solved in tution, question was
Find out who is guilty one? - same problem we had in Infy paper but only the name
were changed like Al, Don, .....

3. Again same one ... There is in previous question paper ..like..Yesterday my pocket
was full of money, so I decided to eat some chocolates. Then I ate 5 chocolates and
gave half of remaining to other... Same problem only the name n figures were
changed ..

Eg.)
I ate 5 chocolates and gave half of remaining to others.
Then I ate 7 chocolates and gave half of remaining to others.. so on..

4. There was problem on Temperature of two System A and System B. I could not
solve this because I didn t get the question but my friends were saying me that this
problem is there is previous Infy paper just go through it.. and download atleast 10
papers from freshwersworld.com and just go through it don t try to solve them all
because all question are incomplete. Just see the pattern of question paper that will
help you a lot..

5. Find out who s cap, tie, gloves and shirt... There were four names like john.. n all I
don t remember now but the same problem is there in previous paper..

Eg.)
Jayesh will not get Corolla unless Ramesh wont get BMW.
Rahul will Maruti unless Akash wont get Ford Icon..
Same problem just names are changed rest all is same..

6. One problem on Who is Victim.. very famous one.. it is there in previous paper...
question was like find out who is victim, Judge, policeman, murderer n etc.....

7. There were two series problem like

2,4,6,8,16,16,18,20,....

8. In a cycle competition race there were one third of people behind me n two third
of people in front of me ..so find out total how many people are there in race
including me..

English paper was easy just five words were very tough I think nobody could solve those
one..... Rest all is fine...

your better prospectus and better opportunity?

5. Which was your most emotional day or moment in your life?

6. Tell me something that you had done some work for your friends or any other ? ---
this question was asked immediately after when I said my strength s are like I
am good helper towards who need it. ?
