INFOSYS PAPER ON 22nd FEBRUARY AT KOLKATA
Test Location: TICT Rajarhat AndTechno India Saltlake
Hi,friends this is rajdeep banerjee from netaji subhash engineering college,kolkata. here am going to describe my experience in INFOSYS CAMPUS RECRUITMENT DRIVE that was held on 22nd of feb 2008...n i was one of the lucky ones to get selected...
any way first of all friends i wud like to say that don't be tensed about infosys ..bcoz i personaly think that there on-campus recruitment procedure is easier than that of other companies...
Our aptitude test was held in Rajarhat technoindia college...we arrived there at 8a.m from 9-15 the p.p.t(pre-placement talk)started..the person from infosys conducting the ppt was very jolly n smart ..he told us abt infy..its projects n all ...he also asked everyone to say thelogo color of infy ..n told usthat wh'wud give the right answer wud definitely get worth Rs.500...
anyway none of us answered correctly...friends the color is "PANTON 285C"..then we wereasked to go to respective rooms to sit for aptitude test...friendsits consists of two parts one is verbal reasoning n logical ,the other is english..anyway friends be prepared 4 the apti..u can follow verbal n non-verbal reasoning by r.s.agarwal..nu can follow the recent mba entrance papers too...it was easy..the puzzles n quantative reasoning given was not at all difficult..if u ave theability to solve the puzzles ,,then u can do the trick...now in english my advice is to solve cat papers or other mba papers..there were two passages n u have to answer from those..also others were correcting sentence structure..etc..but no synonym or antonym was given i think it's not required 4 infy to practise those stuffs..if u r good in english ..then the the paper was dump easy 4 u..as far as i can remember i correctly answer each one..totally 70 marks apti it was..n 40 marks was 4 english...so practiseit ...anyway timemight be the factor of someone..there was no negaive markng...then the result wasdeclared n i was there...we all then went to Techno India ,Saltlake...honestly speaking i was a bit nervous at that time..though i desparately wanted Infy..4 some reason ....
note that in Infy there's no technical interview...only H.R. interview is there....
when my turn came..i was absolutely tensed.. really my palms were sweating n my heart beatwas growing fast...then i entered. .n hereis the conversation....
Me: Good Evening mam,
Madam :thank u rajdeep ..pls be seated..
Me: thank u..(n sat with a smile on my lips..)
Madam: here i see u have passed from mahesh sri ramakrishna ashram..is it a branch of belur math..?
Me: actually it's not directly connected to it..bt it's connected to other missions..n exlained plainly..
Madam: tell me abt yourself.... my god that was my question i was very much prepared..told about my qualities..,my participationin cultural progarmmes..how i worked as a team..n how i inspired others..myhobbies at last...frnd don't sayur c.v ..say abt urself ...think about urself ..ur achievements...n say everything good abt urself...
Madam: do u like to work as a team member or a team leader..??
me: it's always been a pleasure to be a part of the team...n if i can be leader then it'll be cherry over cake...n explained how i worked in local book fair...etc...friends just try to convince them that u r in a position to be a part of the company..uhave the dedicated soul ...etc ...
Madam: have u evergot angry...
Me: don't try to fool, them n be honest..alsogive an example how uot angry at a particular situation n for that reason u did a better job..so that negativity of u 'll reflet ur positive personality..that's the trick...
Madam: do u read story books..ur fav author...
Me: rabindranath tagore...
that was all at last she sighned me a paper nthanked me..irepliedmy thanks...don't shake ur hand..unlessthe interviewer shakes..anyway fortunately i wasnot asked puzzles...bt friends my advice is to get ready 4 the puzzles..those cud be asked any time...
then after 2 hrs of waiting our name was declared..n i was one of thelucky ones...frm our stream(cse)10 were selected... that's all over..absolutely i was very happy.... that'sit..my friendsgetting infy is not the toughest job...u have to believeurself...try to focus on what u r saying..n be positive ..don't show over-smartness ....best of luck to all of the future INFOSCIONS.....
HOPE THIS WILL HELP U TOREACH UR GOAL...TAHNK U.
INFOSYS PAPER ON 5th FEBRUARY 2008
Hi friends..this is Ranjan Prakash…BMAS Engineering College, Agra…EC Branch...I attended Infosys on pool campus in HCST, Mathura....and I got through it.....finally....but first of all I wud like to thank freshers world that has helped me a lot to go through the pattern...... there were around 800 students appeared for written and around 120 selected out of which 90 made it for HR…(12 cleared written n 8 got through HR from BMAS Engg. College, Agra) and by gods grace i was one among them...The very important thing to crack any campus is just b honest to ur self ...b confident never b over confident. it takes u away...and most imp.....just believe in ur self...u r the one who can do the best…
I M REALLY THANKFUL TO MY PARENTS...FRIENDS WHO HAV BELIEF ON ME...
Here is the pattern dear friends :::
1.Logical reasoning(30 question) 40 MIN.
2.English section(40 question) 30 MIN.
The logical section consisted of the following question....
1.2 puzzle tests of 10 marks… (Just go through QUESTION its more than enough.....)
2.5 series figure question of 5 marks (go through QUESTION...NON VERBAL SECTION more than enough
3.5 questions on data sufficiency (again prefer question)
4.5 question on logical reasoning or syllogism... (Go through question also go through the the cat material).
5. Data interpretation of 5 question (Just go through the question aptitude book...... it is best as I preferred the same)
English section....... it is as follows
1. 2 paragraphs based questions very easy ( try to do it in last minutes as it is very easy u have to just go through it once it is of total 10 marks )
2. Correction of underlined sentence very minor difference…5 question
3. Theme detection 5 question
4. Choose the correct sentence of 5 marks, and
5. Fill in the blanks (using correct sentence…from options given…). for verbal section I must say that prepare the basic things like tense, preposition , speeches voices etc...... u can also go for the cat study material.....or prefer wren n martin......
Written test was ok and the results were around 5 pm and I went through... After that HR interviews started n results were also declared college wise…
HR INTERVIEW
FOR HR I WUD SAY THAT DNT PREPARE FOR ANYTHING ELSE BUT PREPARE FOR URSELF I MEAN KNOW UR SELF...... so that u can reply every thing confidently...one more thing that u should go for puzzles that they may ask in HR... One more thing that u must have all details n explanations bout ur resume…so also prepare for this part…
