I See Myself Making More Career Improvements & Be in A Position With Higher Responsibilities & Challenges in An Excellent Working Environment
Hi Friends,
I am Arighna Roy from IEM, Kolkata. There was an in campus selection process of Infosys in our college
campus on 7th Jan, 2010. Around 110 students appeared for this interview from 3 different streams. 52
students were selected. I was one of those lucky guys.
Statistics:
No. of streams : 3
Selection Procedure:
Infosys is such a company where there is no restriction for any stream. That means students from
different streams are welcome to this selection process and they are treated equally. They just check
whether you have adaptability or not.
· Aptitude Test
· HR Interview
The Aptitude test is divided into two different sections:
This section removed about 50% students. So be careful about this section. They didn’t tell about any
sectional cutoff. But i think there was a sectional cutoff. Few of my friends were deselected in this round
doing very good in a single section. There was no negative marking. So don’t leave anything unmarked.
At last if you are going for any wild guess then I’will suggest you to go with a single number. Then at
least few of those could be correct.
Study Materials:
· GRE Barron
Four different figures were given with slight changes. You have to get the pattern of changes and then to
guess the 5th figure from 4 options. Don’t try to get the actual figure. Rather try it from options.
Two bar charts were given.5 questions were given from these charts. Those were really easy.
One paragraph was provided.5 questions were following. First solve the problem. Then go for the
questions. Don’t see the questions first.
This section was a bit tough. Practice from GRE Barron. Synonyms and Antonyms were not needed.
2 reading comprehension were there 5 questions each.
Sentence correction
Questions were not that tough. But the speed does matter. Go for the reading comprehension at last.
Do the others first. Then you can get confidence.
I think the cutoff was very high. Because the questions were easy. So never think that what ever you
have done is enough. Nothing is enough.
HR interview:
Now the final round. The only one solution to crack the interview is keeping yourself cool and confident.
Friends believe me the Infosys HR panel are the coolest person in the whole world(At least for my
panel). And always think that they are taking your Interview to select you, Not to reject you. Be friendly,
polite and honest with them. Don’t get nervous. If you are getting confused then put your hand on your
heart and say “ aal is well”. kidding.
There was only one round. Few students were asked for the second round. So don’t think that you are
done with the interview. We had to sit in a room until the whole interview session was over. Always
prepare with a set a photo copies of your mark sheets(from 10th to your last sem). And carry all your
original mark sheets, all the certificates mentioned in the CV, 4 passport size photo, CV in a different
channel file.
HR: Yes come in Arighna right? So Arighna what happened to your HS marks?(he didn’t give me time to
greet him good morning)
HR: Now tell me what happened to to your 12th marks(I had 74% in 12th)
ME: Explained, told that that instead of having poor aggregate I had good marks in mathematics
HR: Asked the marks in math.
HR: Well that’s a very good marks. Then you were born to do math. Why didn’t you go for BSC,MSC then
PHD with math. You had better prospect on that. (Trying to check that whether I am satisfied with my
studies or not)
ME: I stuck on my decision and told that in engineering also we have math.
HR: Yes but these are application math. But could have gone with pure math.
ME: Up to 12th we had application math. I was good at that. Then explained why did I choose
engineering study after 12th.(he impressed)
ME: Told
ME: In Computers
HR: Why
ME: Told
HR: Is it a tool or sth else? I don’t know Boolean algebra. I am learning from you. (it was a trap. don’t try
to manage the question thinking that they don’t know the subject. They can have a PHD on that subject.
Be careful about the fact)
ME: Explained
ME: Told
ME: Yes
ME: Told about event management in our college and locality. New ideas and plans over there.
Ok Arighna nice meeting you. Do prosper in your life with mathematics. Never leave practicing it. There
is no better subject that math.
