V.SHASHIKANTH SHARMA
HI FRIENDS,
I AM SWATHI FROM GNITS , GOT PLACED INTO INFY , N I HOPE THIS PAGE
HELPS U ALL
TEST PATTERN:
1. APTITUDE and VERBAL
2. HR
NOTE :(we were given an application form of infy we were asked to write it before the exam
had started)
APTITUDE:
All questions were of REASONING type -----30 questions(R.S Aggarwal reasoning book is
more than enough)
here time management is very important
One question was time consuming for me and
that was from the puzzle test so be prepared wid all 7 models of PUZZLE TEST
we had DATA INTETERPRETATION and as i couldnt solve the 1st question properly i had to
solve this
so dont waste time for the questions u cannot solve instead do the one which is easier n refer(r s
aggarwal quantitative aptitude for this)
mostly bar charts,tables and pi charts are given(we were given a table)
thts it in this part, we were not told the cutoff but i think its better to try for atleast 20 out of 30
VERBAL:
40 questions were there
i scored 24 marks
there were 2 RCs one was of 2 pages i attempted in the last 5 min but i did it well i believe
then we had
correction of sentences
fill in the blank with correct word
around 5to 6 passages for which we had go choose the correct summary
u hav to read these very fast
time management is very very imp. here
do not waste even one min looking here and there coz tht one min costs a loooooooot
finally i was called my name for HR n i was on the top of the world
i actually got thru wipro also but the joy of getting into a dream company is just great
one should definately experience it
HR:
One important thing is tht dont think tht its just HR
u should always remember tht there is one more hurdle to pass
in my 1st interview i hav learnt a lot "wht to do n wht not to do in the HR round" so if u hav not
yet been placed then first analyze why tht has happened n try to improve on that coz there r huge
oppertunities in this world
some way or the other u can get thru once u improve on ur flaws
so be confident and dont be jelous abt the ones who hav already got its a very bad thing
and that was it i thought i did well & finally i got through so hope this has helped u all & ALL
THE BEST to Alll U Freshers
