INFOSYS PAPER ON 3rd APRIL 2008 Hello everyone. Infosys visited University College of Engineering, RTU, Kota on 3rd April 2008. This time once again they had the same selection procedure, with written exam being the main filter. With just over 200 candidates appearing for the exam only 59 made through it and then 54 were able to convert it into final selections.
Exam was in two parts: 1.General Aptitude, 2.English
General Aptitude: 1. 2 not so easy Logical Reasoning questions (which contained 10 questions). 2. 5 very easy series completion. 3. 5 syllogisms 4. No Blood relation questions!! English: 1. 2 RCs 2. 7-8 choosing the correct sentence 3. Filling the right word 4. Theme Detection All in all, a candidate must have a good command over the language and just going through the Articles, Prepositions etc. on the last day won‘t work. After written exam, only HR of about 15-20 min on an average were taken which include very general HR questions, specially related to the CV and the candidate‘s personal life only. Those 5 who were not selected were also interviewed more than once, this might be because they were trying to give them another chance. Anyways, 54 were selected in the end. To summarise, Infosys selection needed just good aptitude and better language command, so make sure that you acquire both well before Infosys. All the Best

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.

SATYAM PAPER ON 1st MARCH 2008 By the grace of god & blessings of my parents I have qualified satyam written & interview. My name is Sachin mittal student of ECE branch studying in United College Of Engg. & Research,ALLAHABAD. There was a pool campus of satyam in AAI university,ALLAHABAD on 18th of January. But interviews on 1st march. Around 280 students were selected in written from 1200 & in 280 ,120 students get selected in interviews except my college. B‘coz the no. of students from alone my college was 112 in 280. So,they have taken interview of other colleges on 19th of jan. & our interviews held on 1st march. WRITTEN EXAM:First of all I want to say that I m not the topper of my class,I am an avg. student so don‘t think that only toppers can do it. There was 15 ques. & 30 mins paper in which there was questions from:1. Profit & loss 2. Percentage 3. Men & work problems 4. Data sufficiency 5. Venn diagrams 6. Ages 7. Compound interest Questions were not much tough but what matters is your speed. So practice ques thoroughly. If you are doing 7-10 ques then you can think that you are safe. Keep in mind that there is lower &upper both cut off. INTERVIEW :After written exam pre placement talk held. Before interview there was essay writing also. My topic was ―LEADERS ARE BORN OR MADE‖. Some other topics were it industry in india ,Metro trains,Impact of lagaan movie, Impact of chak de movie, Budget 08. Essay writing was not a eliminating round. I was bit nervous for interview. But I must say that mine interviewer was very cool & understanding. Firstly he asked me tell me about yourself . Then greatest achievement in my academic field, then questions from my field i.e. What is feedback ?,Example of feedback ,Where it is used. Then on staibility of systems.Then questions from C such as What is malloc & calloc function?,What is structures. Then he came on HR interview. He asked tell me about your father,mother& siblings.Then questions from my essay. Atlast he asked told me what you have observed in me in the whole interview. Then thank you. My interview was of around 15-20 mins. 38 students get selected among 105 students in interview. In my opinion the most important thing in your interview is just enter with a smile,have smiling face in whole interview,don‘t be tensed, be confident & have good communication skills and that‘s it & you are through as I am. Pray to god & every thing will be all right,& you will be a satyamite. So see you in satyam..

My name is Sachin mittal student of ECE branch studying in United College Of Engg. & Research, ALLAHABAD. There was a pool campus of satyam in AAI university, ALLAHABAD on 18th of January. But interviews on 1st march. Around 280 students were selected in written from 1200 & in 280 ,120 students get selected in interviews except my college. B‘coz the no. of students from alone my college was 112 in 280. So,they have taken interview of other colleges on 19th of jan. & our interviews held on 1st march. WRITTEN EXAM:First of all I want to say that I m not the topper of my class,I am an avg. student so don‘t think that only toppers can do it. There was 15 ques. & 30 mins paper in which there was questions from:1. Profit & loss 2. Percentage 3. Men & work problems 4. Data sufficiency 5. Venn diagrams
6. 7.
Ages Compound interest
Questions were not much tough but what matters is your speed. So practice ques thoroughly. If you are doing 7-10 ques then you can think that you are safe. Keep in mind that there is lower &upper both cut off. INTERVIEW :After written exam pre placement talk held. Before interview there was essay writing also. My topic was ―LEADERS ARE BORN OR MADE‖. Some other topics were it industry in india ,Metro trains,Impact of lagaan movie, Impact of chak de movie, Budget 08. Essay writing was not a eliminating round. I was bit nervous for interview. But I must say that mine interviewer was very cool & understanding. Firstly he asked me tell me about yourself . Then greatest achievement in my academic field, then questions from my field i.e. What is feedback ?,Example of feedback ,Where it is used. Then on staibility of systems.Then questions from C such as What is malloc & calloc function?,What is structures. Then he came on HR interview. He asked tell me about your father,mother& siblings.Then questions from my essay. Atlast he asked told me what you have observed in me in the whole interview. Then thank you. My interview was of around 15-20 mins. 38 students get selected among 105 students in interview. In my opinion the most important thing in your interview is just enter with a smile,have smiling face in whole interview,don‘t be tensed, be confident & have good communication skills and that‘s it & you are through as I am. Pray to god & every thing will be all right,& you will be a satyamite. So see you in satyam.. BYE!!!!!!!

SATYAM PAPER ON 10th MARCH AT KOLKATA Hi, SATYAM came for the 1st time in our collage this year. We were about 160 eligible candidates (criteria may be 60% + in 10,12 & DOB>86), out of which 58 cleared Aptitude, finally 25 of us got selected as 'Satyamite'.. It had 4 rounds Aptitude ,essay writing, HR & technical. As Satyam 's Aptitude as -1/4 -ve marking , so be a bit careful . Although it looks different from others , all can be easily worked out .... just keep ur cool. Just go through these topics like Probability, Time & work, Pyramids, SI/CI, Profit & loss, law of allegations, Paragraph conclusions, Data sufficiency, Logical reasoning, Blood relations. Ages..puzzles, charts , etc. It probably had upper cut off of 11. I am not quiet sure about it.
Essay :- Sort listed students from apti round were to write an esaay of approx. 300 words on given topics. We had topics like " Its time to bury our Hockey", "Rapists should be hanged", "Adv. of smoking ", ....... My advice is write correct, clear english & try to fill up the paper . Always include starting & concluding sentence (very imp.) & try to write either for or against , on one side. keep clean, good handwritting. HR :- It was another cool round. They asked about relocation , my life so far, didnt asked anything from essay. He asked me what will i do if I have 2 jobs . I just said first U offer me this job & then I will have a 14 months time to decide. Keep a smiling face. My HR was of some 3-4 min. or so. Just before Technical round, my HR interviewer offered me some sweet ...... Ha Ha Ha. Technical :- It was another funny round. First they asked me to wait for a min. May be having something. This time they didnt offered anything. then they asked me what i dont know. Simply said I dont know ....... just went on to say almost everything in B.tech course. . Then they gave me a choice - What should they ask me or they will asked everything in physics upto Class 12. just adjust them diplomatically. then they asked about lever, pulley, their types , examples ..... just like SRK's 'panchwi class tak' show. then something about OS, Unix like diff. between Unix & linux, which OS U use, why. what is shell. about progs done in lab. Dont try to fool them . One of my interviewer was a ex-student from WBUT. So they always know the course. Prototype of printf ? how to compile C progs in Linux., bytecode, What is OOPs, JVM . Finally they gave me a C code to solve :if ( ..... exp ...) printf ("World") else printf ("Hello") To get output as "HelloWorld" ... what is exp ? ans - printf("Hello"). It was really cool round . Dont panic even if U dont know anything. In the evening final selected candidates were announced. Gave a small lecture again ..................... Finally I am a Satyam-ite. Hope to see U in about 14 months time. & Best of Luck. Oooh ... Satyam is the official IT partner of FIFA World Cup of SA(2010) & Brazil(2014). Lets hope myself as an employee will get tickets for WC Matches ..... So enjoy

Test Paper :6 Paper Type Test Date Posted By : General - Interview : 1 February 2008 : Arun Pandit
Test Location : chandigarh college of engg. landran punjab
Satyam computers: Joint campus placement drive held at C.E.C Landran near Chandigarh, Punjab around January 2008. Well I would give you a complete round up of my experience at the placement drive conducted by satyam computers. To begin with ? Eligibility criteria : 10th min 60% 12th min 60% B. Tech ? 60% 2 back logs allowed And relaxation of 5 % in any one of the above. Now moving forward with the written exam? Now it constitutes of 15 questions that you have to do in 30 minutes. They are primarily from like everybody say from R.S. Aggarwal quantitative aptitude. Most of them are easy and can be done without any serious preparation but the ones like calendar, clock etc require sum practice. If you feel that you have less time to do it then just go through the formulae before each chapter and go through the unsolved examples there are more than sufficient! One or two questions may come from qualitative aptitude but nothing to panic they are logical and with just careful observation can be done easily and fast too. Remember there is a good chance that they keep an upper cutoff so kindly stick around 9-10 out of 15 . There is one fourth negative marking also. Don?t try to cheat and get very hi scores as upper cut off may lead to rejection. Anyways it was the first company i went for. Now you got to have a resume and whatever you have written in the resume must be correct. The point I want to convey is that you should be able to justify your resume and should answer any question asked based on your resume. Now the one question that is most expected one is?.introduce yourself so be ready with the impressive intro as it is said the first impression is the last. Now the interviewer may be an HR or HR+tech or tech, now what comes your way is totally luck! Mine was an hr+tech. Now the interview scene was like this?
Me: may I come in sir? Sir: come in.. Me good evening sir (closing the door gently as the previous candidate was sent out and was not interviewed as he shut the door hard) Sir: sit down Me: thank you sir Sir: arun pandit from kullu wahan to bahit thandi hogi (sir was south Indian) Me: yes sir Sir: ok introduce yourself.. (Going through a form cum resume they asked to fill initially) Me: sir my name is arun pandit. Arun means sun. Sir: yes I know Me: my father named me arun coz he appreciated a politician named Arun Nehru who was along the scenes in 1985. Sir : ok Me : (then I told about schooling from Delhi till 8th and there after till 12th in sainik school sujanpur tihra etc?) Sir: your hobbies.. Me: sir repairing and troubleshooting computer and reading latest tech news and computer technologies, software?s etc.. Sir: continue.. Me: reading books? Sir which kind of books? Me: sir motivational?, scientific thrillers.. Sir: tell me any motivational book you have read? Me: sir I have read you can win and living with honor my shiv khera, alchemist by paul Coelho, monk who sold his Ferrari by robin Sharma, power thoughts by Robert Schuller,and my favorite being courage and confidence by ? Sir: ok ok that?s gud what abt scientific thrillers.. Me sir I have read all novels by Dan brown .. da Vinci code, angels and daemons ,digital fortress and deception point.. Sir: continue.. Me: sir I write poems? Sir : what kind of poems? Me : sir motivational.. Sir: why? Me: sir many a times in my life i was down and broken and I just felt like giving up and accepting defeat but on one such day one of my friend sent an sms to me reading? I was crying of having no0 shoes until I saw a man without feet? take this world as a challenge prove ur mettle .these world really lifted me up? fail.. fall.. cry ..die .. but don?t give up.but still in some situation it didn?t help then I realized that just not giving up is not enough . one has to strike back with the double the intensity. As even a mountain stands among harsh climatic conditions, rain storm etc it never gives up but it is still standing at the very same place where it was yesterday so one has to strike back with the double the intensity in order to win and progress. Sir : that?s good?(now time for technical) Sir : which is your favorite subject Me: sir networking Sir : what have you done in networking in practical.. Me : sir I am the head of computer lab maintenance and computer awareness club of college and I have implemented LAN, wireless LAN, . I have implemented domain, active directory, exchange server, dns, dhcp,iis and windows server 2003 nad have undertook training for Microsoft certification of mcp, mcsa and mcse. Sir : that?s v good. Ok tell me technical specifications of LAN , wan Me: replied correctly? If your college has another branch how would you interconnect them and why? me : we can go for wi fi if distance is less... or if the distance is more we can go for wi max the new technology. Sir : what about wan.. Me: sir it would incur long lengths of cable and subsequently repeaters etc wi max would be a good alternative Sir : don?t mix technology with whts gud.. Me: (realizing that he was in favors of wan) yes sir wi max is a new technology and therefore it would be costly to upgrade present hardware to suit wi max and practically it would be best to use wan but instead of normal cables we can go for optical fiber which has less errors, high speed and less repeaters required Sir: you may go now Me good day sir
This was my interview. Others were also asked state capitals, information about there home state, basics of subjects in b tech course like operating systems,c,c++,database, working of lcd etc Basically just go through all the main and important topics from them. The questions are mostly normal if you have done a quick recap of earlier semester subjects. Be prepared of the project or training undergone in 6 weeks. Basically be confident. Don?t bluff. If you don?t know or remember something then just say that u don?t know or cannot recollect now! I was select and I hope all of you also get selected. Work on ur personality and concepts as marks are just for eligibility the main thing is your knowledge and what you have learned. Remember success can be delayed but never denied to a hardworking person. Never give up! Impossible is nothing! Go get your dreams?

SATYAM PAPER ON 29th FEBRUARY AT WEST BENGAL Hi friends, This is Arnab Roy from BUIE, Bankura. I am a student of EIE ,3rd year. We were informed that there will be a campus selection at UIT, Burdwan on 29th feb,2008. Before going into the interview i had prepared for the aptitude test from R.S.Aggarwal and also had scanned thru some puzzles from Shakuntala devi and George. J. Summers. and i would also like to thank freshersworld for uploading candidates experiences which had helped me a lot. On 29th, the selection process started with the apti test. there were 15 q's and we were given 30 mins. there were questions from ages, probability, ghraphical interpretation, profit n loss, pyramids and puzzles. Since there were upper n lower cut off marks so i was very careful about ticking the right option. and i would advise all of u to be 100% confident before marking ur answer. however the results were announced at around 2 o'clock and i had cleared the apti test. Before going for the interview rounds we had to fill up a resume form where we had to fill our respective details. then we were given different topics to write an essay and mine was "Is IPL league making a mockery of cricket". this wasnt an elimination round but it was to test our english power. then we had the interview rounds. First was the HR round. The interviewer was a very friendly person. He had asked me about what i had for my lunch. He even inquired whether i m feeling well or not. then he scanned thru my essay and asked few q's related to it. i answered them very confidently. he looked impressed and then he asked me to move to the techical panel. In the TECHNICAL round the following q's were asked....Introduce urself. What all subjects u r having in ur current 6th semester. few q's from networking were asked... like LAN, WAN, MAN and their areas of use. a puzzle was asked that "if the drying time for one of the cloth is 30secs then how much will be taken for 10 clothes to dry, all being hanged at a time".
then i was asked whether i had studied any other language other than C. the interviewer then asked me about instrumentation and its implementation. I answered all the q's confidently with eye to eye contact After all these q's the interviewer seemed to be impressed with my ans and then he started asking me casual q's like which city i would like to be placed, whether my family would have any problem if i stay far from them and if other companies like TCS ,IBM offers me 25% more salary than Satyam what will i do. At last i was asked whether i have any q's, and i asked 2 q's-- what type of work i will have to do for Satyam after i join and whom will i have to report for my day to day responsibilities. I got my answers and i thanked the interviewer. he in return thanked me and shaked hands with me. and i left the room... Reullts were annouced the very next day at around 2 p.m. and eventually i discovered that now I AM A SATYAMITE...... Wish u all the very best and see u all at Satyam.. Bye.. Arnab

SATYAM PAPER ON 1st FEBRUARY AT NAGPUR Hi friends!! Just have a smiling face, full confidence, sanguine attitude and success will be surely yours. This year Satyam had conducted only written test and interview. There was no G.D. Written Test Q.1). It was related to finding the average weight of the students. In the question, there was given average weight of the students in three different classes: Section P-around 48 kg. Q-around 45 kg. R-around 50 kg. Other than this, the total no. of students in section Q was also mentioned. It was around Q=((25*R)/100)+R) as far as I remember. And question was to find the average weight of all the students. I don-no xact ansr ‗coz I didn‘t attempt it. Q.2).It was purely a mathematical problem.The equation that I got after solving the given situation had two unknowns.Hence, it appeared to be somewat twisted.But those two variables were also interrelated.Ot was sumwat like S=(2Ax) +x2 -(B/4) Where S=2x. & A,B were constants. It was xtrememly simple. Q.3)Again an easy one.Some age problem or it was sumthing like that. But it was purely mathematical & again very very easy.An equation had to be formed & the answer was there. Q.4).It was some pasage.So I didn‘t solve it bcoz it appeared to be too time consuming. Q.5).Again a lengthy one.But it was not a passage.It was like that some rules & regulations of U.S. Anti Terror team were mentioned and the question also mentioned about an organization which was trying to fight the terrorists.Based on the passage given were four different points(sentences) for choice and we were supposed to choose that option which would most correctly prove the arguement. Q.6).A program(more precisely an algo) was given in the following manner:10 R=2. 20 R=R+2. 30 K=K+R. 40 J=K+2. 50 If(J>sumthing) don‘t remember further, but no initial value of ne of the variables was mentiond there. & we were supposed to choose, among the options, the WRONG output. I wonder how can there be one wrong output & three different correct outputs. But still that was what the problem was & I dind‘t attempt it. Now I don‘t remember the further questions bcoz I must have solved & attempted them. M unable to recollect ques from 7 to 11, but most of them, I remember, were purely mathematical where you hav to analyse the given situation, from an equation, solve that equation & get the answer. Q.12).Problem was basically on either Work & energy or on Time Distance. Q.13).Based on a pie chart. Though it appeared complicated but in fact it was very very easy.Every answer ia alwayz given there inj the pie chrt itself.The only thing is how do you apply brain 7 find the answer. The pie chart showed the percentage distribution of some commodities, & we were supposed to find the dimensions of a new pie chart for another given prcentage distribution of commodities. So the question was inference based & not purely fact based.But then the inference that you draw depends totally upon the facts given in the pie chart, dear guys !!
q.14).ome three different graphs mentioning about population were given & this time thye ques. was not inference based but purely fact based. Q.15). It was extremely simple. It was an upstream downstream problem that we ppl used to solve in linear eqtions in about 7th std. So frnds that was all about the apti. I got thru the apti & my intrview was on the next day 2nd of Feb. My interview experince was just fantastic. From the time I entrd the intrvw rooom to the time I exited I maintained total eye contact, had full confidence and presented my best self forward with an impressive +ve attitude. A total of 200 students were finally selected fron a total of 1200 that appeared for the drive & I got thru d ntire process 2 b 1 of them. When I entered the interview room the interviwer sir seemed to be extremely busy mending up some old records of the previous candidates. I took permission & entered the room. Still sir wasn‘t looking at me but I maintianed full eye contact.I said ―Warm Good evening to u Sir !!‖) it was around 7:15 p.m. Still sir was very busy. With his eyes into the documents he said ―God evening‖ ‖May I plz hav a seat sir?‖ Sir said,‖ yes yes plz sit down‖. Still not looking at me. But by this time, he was reading my previously submited resume of mine. Finally, sir looked upto me & after reading ―Computer Engg(my branch)‖ from my resume he asked me about my knowledge in the field of animation bcoz that happens to be the latest trend in Computers. I said ― I hav heard that C++ knowledge is very important for for animation, though I don‘t have ne bookish knowledge about animation. Sir said ―Do u mean it can‘t be done using C language?‖. So I xplained all d defferences between C & C++ starting with ―C is the subset of C++ .. . . . . . . ‖ ‖Which languages have u learnt uptill now ?‖ ―C & C++ but C++ we r learning now in this semester.‖ ‖Just C & C++?‖ ―Yes Sir‖ I said. Then sir paused & I felt as if a gap is getting created.So I added ―Sir we have done Data Structures & Computer Graphics also but that was also done C language only‖. ‖Can u write a C code for opening a file in output mode?‖. Very confidently I said ―Yes Sir‖ Sir immediately gave me a blank paper & asked me to write the code saying ―OK Do it‖ Without any pause I wrote the C statement & said ―This is the required C code sir Sir glared at the C code that I had written & after a while he said, ―Ok Ankur Ok Thank u.‖ ―Thank u sir Nice meeting u sir‖ I said & walked out of the interview room with full confidence. So, friends did u get the mistake here ? The most noticeable thing here is that there is no mode as output mode in C language.There r only 3 modes-Read,Write & Append. So even m amazed as to how cum I got thru the interview. So I conclude that though the questions were technical the interview was an HR interview. & seeing my confidence, my attitude, he selected me. Da‘s y I said in d beginning itself- Just Be confident, maintain eye contact, have a +ve attitude, show ur interest in the company & success is surly urs. Wish U all the very very Best of LUCk !

But they do ask about the things you write in essay in Personal Interview. Personal Interview There were 3 panels, where two delegates gave stress on technical & one on HR. My interview: Hello Aniket, how r u? Tell me something about you & your family background. What all programming languages do u know? Write the logic of Matrix multiplication. Write the logic of the program" finding out no. of vowels in a string given by user". Difference between main memory & secondary memory. Difference between call by value & call by reference.

SYNTEL PAPER ON 12th august I attended SYNTEL interview on 12th august 2007. Eligibility: 1) >=55% in all examinations including 10th, 12th and college aggregate upto 5th semester. 2) No standing arrears. Selection Procedure Round 1: Aptitude Test Round 2: Technical Interview(P.I.) Round 3: Human Resource Interview(P.I.)
Aptitude Test Pattern: Total Marks = 40 Time allotted = 60 mins. No. of sections = 2 No. of questions in 1st section = 25 No. of questions in 2nd section = 15 Mark distribution = 1 mark each. (No negative marking) Aptitude Paper Section 1: Logical reasoning Aptitude Paper Section 2: English Technical Interview: Since I did a mini-project, I was asked to explain it! I took much time for that and explained it from the beginning, with its advantages and limitations. Then I was asked questions from C. Since I was a beginner in C, I could not answer much, but somehow managed with all I knew! Then, as I am from ECE department, questions from microprocessor was asked! The questions included 8086 microprocessor architecture, register structures, addressing modes, instruction set and so on. I answered all those questions but had some difficulties with the instructon set as he asked me to tell all the instructions I knew. Then, he gave me a paper and asked me to draw certain gate diagrams and also to write down the truth-table for those gates! These are the questions I remember. It all depends on how cool you are during the interviews! The more you get hot, greater are the chances for appearing blank before the personnels! So be cool and try to answer all the questions. Human Resource Interview: I had the HR round before the technical round. This was quite interesting.... The interviewer was a Lady. She asked me to introduce myself. I told her my academic history. But as she emphasised on my personal life, I started with my hobbies. I said I love singing and playing guitar. Immediately she interrupted and asked me to sing a song for her. I was totally taken by surprise and had no other option but to sing! Then she went through my resume and asked me to explain what I learnt from the Industrial visits I had gone. I explained all that I knew. The interview went on interesting with many such questions. But these are some noteworthy ones! After the interviews were over, we were told that the results will be sent to the respective Placement Deans of each colleges. So we left very soon enjoying the rain that blessed that night! It was thursday when we attended the interviews, and on saturday I was informed through a phone-call from my Placement Dean that I was placed. Praise God!!!HE DOES MIGHTY THINGS WE NEVER EVEN DREAM OFF! Jesus Loves You! pam pami

SATYAM PAPER ON 1st FEBRUARY 2008 AT CEC LANDRAN Satyam came to CEC landran campus on 1st feb,2008 .It was a joint campus placement so large no of students appeared for the rounds. the test consisted of two rounds ,first was the aptitude round and second was the interview round and it was both the technical and HR.The firsrt round was quiet easy round and it consisted of the 15 questions and all were multiple choice and normally they consist of SI and CI,permutations and combinations and clock related and logical ,ratio and proportion and work done type and 30 mins were given to us to solve the questions and I was able to solve near about 11 of them and then after the test ended up at 4pm ,the result came at 12 am next day or at midnight and I was one of them and since a large no of students were their on the list so I guess the cutoff must be near about 6 . Now the next round was of interview but before that they gave us a form to fill with particular details about the 10th 12th and so on and in the end we have to write one paragraph also and mine topic was on global warming and it has to be of near about 300 words and we did it in the provided time and now the students were divided groups and the interviews were going on and mine turn came at around 5pm the next day that is 2nd feb and I was very tensed before entering the room but as soon I entered and been greeted by the hr,I started feeling comfortable and he asked a lot of questions to me and it seemed that he is already having a bumper package of questions for me,he started with family background and then continued with technical questions related to networking and c++ and data structures and then in the end some general hr type questions(situation reacting type) and In the end he wished me good luck and acknowledged him and left the room, I was feeling quiet good for the interview and was eagerly waiting for the results to be out but for my bad luck due to some problems the result came on 14th feb but the good thing was that I got selected(i think 550 cleared out of 3k or 4k) and now I am a Satyamite… So guys if u r confident then there is no such thing that can stop you…… best of luck and c u at Satyam………

DAY 1: written paper: friends there were 10 questions from reasoning and 5 from aptitude. the paper was not so tough..but it was really time consuming.so please try to scan the paper first and try to complete the aptitude questions in starting 5 minutes.then rest of the time you complete the reasoning part. 15 questions,30 min and +1 for correct answer and -1/4 for wrong answer. 1) a question like this he gave a=0 and b=1 and asked us to find the value for the number 5 ans. (bab) convert 5 to binary...(101) 2) missing number series..damn tough....(dont attempt,its simply waste of time) 3) from time and work....a and b can do a piece of work in 20 days. b and c can do it in 12 days. c and a can do it in 10 days. then how much time will a alone would take to do the work..(direct from r.s.agarwal without changing the numbers) 4)from reasoning..a bit difficult 5)again reasoning..the question was very big 6)a rectangle problem from areas... 7)logical deduction 8)he gave ten statements and we have to deduce the 11 statement by using this 10 statements 9) a problem on Compound interest(direct from r.s.agarwal without even changing the numbers) 10)a passage was given a logical inferecnce should be made.(very big..but easy one) 11)a problem on permutations....(damn easy) 12)a problem from data interpretation..it was on line graphs...very big..not easy to deduct the solution 13)a problem from profit and loss(direct from r.s.agarwal...he didnt even changed the numbers) even the other two were from reasoning... finally friends...it totally depends upon ur time mangagement..it doesnot depend how many questions you have answered,it depends how many questions you have answered correctly.so even if u know 5 out of 15 perfectly,then just answer 5 questions.for a matter of fact..i answered 8 of them and i was confident on 5 questions and the remaining 3 answers which i wrote were from reasoning..so i donno how many were correct.but i luckily cleared written test DAY 2:MORNING: they gave the resume form and asked us to fill the details correctly(mandatory) even a small approximation in ur percentages or malpractice in writing ur backlogs wasnt allowed.then they gave an essay and asked us to write on it in less than 300 words.and time limit was only 10 min. AFTERNOON: H.R ROUND:(for me it was 40 min... he asked questions from all my 3 years of ece) me: may i comin sir H.R: comin....pls take ur seat H.R: TELL ME ABOUT URSELF? ME:said(please prepare for this before itself properly because he will be testing ur communication skills) H.R:interrupted me while i was saying my strengths..but i was able to bounce back H.R: read my essay completely and started asking questions on that me: answered H.R: he was not satisfied by my answer

(smile) intervier: yes(very serious) he was scanning through my resume form we filled the previous day. we were asked to even write an essay. my topic was " role of media in the society" i wrote only the positive points in the essay. my first question was: " tell me about yourself"
i replied it very confidently with eye to eye contact and a gentle smile on my lips with a clear voice and proper hand movements. then he asked " what is your opinion about the essay role of media in the society" i said " sir i have mentioned only the positive points in my essay. i told himm all the positive points. we can also look at it in the negative sense and gave him few more points." he was very much impressed by my multi-dimension approach.i answered this question alone for 5 minutes. next he asked me what were my 3-2 subjects and i answered him confidently. again he asked me my 3-1 subjects. i told him all and specifically told him that communication were my favourite as ece student.especially digital communication. then he asked " what is digital communication?" i answered him every minute point in digital communication the entire subject with diagrams in 5 minutes. he was impressed!he smiled and said good! ok thank you nitish you can go with a smile on his face. i thanked him and came out of the room very confidently. i knew i was selected. the results were declared around 10.30 pm that day and i became a SATYAMITE. wish u all the best friends.

Now i m in 6th sem...here i m going to tell about my experience about that placement drive. this was my second company bcoz i was not eligible for INFOSYS due to some new conditions. I was very shocked due to this and frankly speaking i had not a good preparation for this drive. I decided not 2 attend the drive but my girlfriend and my elder sister forced me to attend the drive. Around 1300+ candidate attended the drive. There were 3 rounds.. 1. Written test 2. Group discussion 3. Personal Interview
Written test: It was consist of three sections. 1. Aptitude(30 quest) 2. Reasoning(30 quest) 3. English(30 quest) Aptitude section was a little bit tough. I didn't prepared well for this section but anyhow i managed to do this portion. My suggestion is to refer R.S.AGGARWAL for this section. It is just more than enough...but u need to be conscious towards time management as there was sectional and overall cutoff. Reasoning was the portion which was positive point 4 me as i prepared it in a nice manner for INFOSYS. Again u go through VERBAL & NON-VERBAL REASONING BY R.S.AGGARWAL....Try to complete this portion in short while of time bcoz all the question will be easy.. English eas in between the two...not so easy..not so hard...4 synonyms were there which were as usual tough. Then two passages were der...which u should do in the last coz it is an easy part.. Regarding english i will say that if u have a good background of english then it will be a plus point for u... Around 5:30 p.m. results for the written test were declared. Around 550+ cleared the written test and i was one of them. Group Discussion: After the results of written test 47 batches for GD were formed...In each batch 12 students were present..I was in batch no:31...Aroound 7p.m. we were called for the GD...we suggested the topic LIVE IN RELATIONSHIP....but the HR changed the topic by LOVE MARRIAGE Vs. ARRANGED MARRIAGE.. So..u be prepared with 2-3 topic of your own...our discussion went in a nice manner...and finalle i emerged as the leader...that was a positive sign for me..so friends..for GD keep u need to be a good communicator..u need to keep your points in a clear manner with in a short while of time.. Around 9:30p.m. results were declared...selection was very tough as they were selecting maximum 4 from a group...from our group 4 were selected and again i made it.. After results documents verification were done and we were said to report at 8;00 a.m. sharp by next day... Interview: we were knowing that PI will be held but they changed the programme and they converted PI into Group interview...In my group 12 members were der.. Around 9:30 a.m. we were called for the interview...it was a HR interview only...general HR questio wer easked from us....when my turn came i thought that if i could represent myself in a nice manner for 10 minutes my life will be changed.... HR: From where u are? Me: told.. HR: About family background. Me: told HR: are you willing to work anywhere? ME: told.. HR:what is your position in your class? Me:told.. Hr: then questions from summer training.. if any(not technical) Me: told about my training. HR:then he asked some questions about hobbies... Me:told in detail(be prepared for lot of questions from this part) HR: do u know anyone in L&T? Me: i told about my school senior who was working in L&T for 3 yrs. HR: finally he said..if u have any questions> Me:do u neet to go for some additional training to be fit in L&T? HR: replied in a very nice manner... Then we had to wait for almost 6 hrs. for the final result...result was cummulative..i.e written+ marks in GD+Interviw......my name was called at 6th position....intially it was unbelievable that i did it...but this was true that i
was placed....after the final results..we were called to collect our offr letters...and it was really nice to see your job in your hand....i was overjoyed after the results as i didn't thought that i would get a job in 6th sem bcoz i lost my all hopes due to my yeargap...but it was the blessings of god and of my parents....well wishes from my friends....motivation from my sasmita di...and above all inspiration from my love due to which i was able to do it.... so friends...believe in yourself...don't loose your hopes...just do your job with honesty...definately u can do it...

There were two people taking the interview, one was asking the HR questions and the other was asking the technical questions. When my turn came, the HR went out for some work. I was asked to introduce myself(apart from my tecnical skills). Then I was asked to give an example where I showed positive attitude in my life. Then I was asked what was my technical skill. I said Java. I was asked can a class inherit multiple interfaces. The answer was yes.I explained the concept of multiple inheritance in java. Then I was asked....If a class B inherits multiple interfaces and there is a class F that inherits this class B. Then will class F inherit all the interfaces inherited by class B? The answer was yes (Multilevel Inheritance). I was then asked to leave. They didnt see the file or CV. Some were even questioned on their essay. Many were asked C questions irrespective of their branchs. Next day, results were declared and By God's grace...I was selected.. You basically need to be very confident in what you say.They see your communication skills and your confidence. Speak with confidence what you say.....They see our boldness and your presence of mind. ALL THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!

INFOSYS PAPER ON 18th MARCH AT BHUBANESWAR Hello friends, This is Himansu here, from Orissa Engineering College, Bhubaneswar. Infy visited our college campus on 18th march, for recruitment. The schedule was cut-out and pretty much timebound. The basic process remain the very same, i.e., 1. Pre placement Talk 2. Written Round 3. Interview The PPT started right at 9.30am, when 2 delegates came n started off with their presentations and provided information and life, work and processes at Infosys and its requirements. Jot the points down, if you feel it necessary. Right after that, the students proceeded to assigned rooms for written round. Initially, they give a form - which you need to supervise carefully and fill in the details without much manipulation. But dont worry, they will guide you about that in the PPT itself. Right after that, written round started. It was the very same pattern , timing and kind of questions - which by now, you are expected to know. After the written part was over, the results were declared after 1.5 hr. Out of the 270 odd appeared, 43 cleared the written part. After few minutes, the 43 guyz were to proceed to interview arena. And there were 6 panels, all set for interviewing the candidates. The HR people of Infy are normally highly experienced and seasoned. So kindly don't exaggerate your resume, information or over-burden your folder with unnecessary certificates (for example, 2nd prize in debate, 1st prize in painting) - is what I feel. Because normally they don't go beyond your resume and scoresheet. However, the most important aspect is how and what you write in your resume. Be very clear and know your CV. They can trap you wonderfully , if you are not well read on that aspect. I'll tell you briefly about my interview process. I was asked about my academic gap, hobbies ( asked hell a lot out of it ), long term goals, how to organize a competition, a small puzzle and many other questions. They may also ask technical questions (yes, be prepared anyway).
Little bit of nervousness is absolutely normal. Just keep yourself collected, b clear n proper in diction, b cheerful and hope for the best. Some say, believing in God and all is very important. That is very true.But prior to everything, You got to believe Yourself completely. Do your best, n hope sab thik ho. From our interview process, 38 out of 42 were selected. I have seen very great contenders and my best friend being left out, out of sheer bad luck in their part. Alrite.. Wrote enough to provide adequate info... Pray your fellow God, seek some luck and just do well. All the best, all of you aspirants.

L&T INFOTECH PAPER ON 12th FEBRUARY 2008 Hello friends, myself MOHAMMAD AAMIR, student of Mechanical Engineering, AL-FALAH SCHOOL OF ENGG. & TECH., Faridabad. Recently I have got selected by L&T infotech on a joint campus drive by the organization…….. I am here just to brief my experience at the whole drive…… and am very much thankful to the Almighty, my parents and my faculty members that were very much on my side during the all. At the place of selection, initially 5800 candidates appeared for the aptitude test and only 717 candidates were shortlisted for the second round of Group Discussion on the next day. The vary next day Group Discussion took place in the batch of 14-15 candidates, all the members of each batch were randomly selected by the L&T personals only. After the completion of the second round of Group Discussion only 330 candidates got a chance to appear in the interview on the next day, hopefully I was one of them. In the personnel interview there was a mixed round of H.R. as well as technical questions, generally the whole interview took 30 minutes as it was in my case. On the completion of whole drive only 240 candidates had a chance to make a carrier with L&T Infotech and I am very much glad to say that I am one of the guy who got a chance to enhance my skills as a SOFTWARE ENGINEER TRAINEE (S.E.T.) in the field of software development at a prestigious firm like L&T. As we all know that the L&T Infotech selection process consists of the three hurdles rather we can say that there are three steps to complete successfully in the selection process. First of all the hurdles is a GENERAL APPITUDE TEST, followed by a GROUP DISCUSSION and a PERSONNEL INTERVIEW. The GENERAL APPITUDE TEST comprises of 90 questions without any negative marking but this test paper is sub divided in the three sections of 30 questions each from general reasoning, logical reasoning and English. To get shortlisted in the test we have to solve at least of 45 questions correctly, generally depending upon the cut off merit, but it is extremely necessary that there should be a balance in between all the sections of the test. For the preparation of this test I will prescribe you General Aptitude (R.S.AGARWAL) or (ABHIJIT GUHA, TMH). The short listed candidates of the 1st round will go to the second round of Group Discussion. Group Discussion the second hurdle for most of the candidates is a test of your English communication as well as the understanding or rather I can say that it‘s a test of your confidence level that how can you express yourself and make other to satisfy on the logics that you have expressed!! In the G.D. round generally they choose a batch of 14-15 candidates at random and ask them to select a topic of their own by personnel understanding among the candidates of
that particular batch and ask them to prepare their thoughts in 1 or 2 minute time. They will sub divide the batch into two groups to have a discussion on the selected topic. One group will be in favour of the topic and vice versa. In case of the 15 member batch one candidate will summarize the whole discussion and conclude it. Usually 5 candidates have a chance to get shortlisted but in exceptional cases all or none get selected. The short listed candidates of this round will get a chance to appear in the interview. The last hurdle of this selection procedure is one to one personnel H.R. and Technical interview. In most of the cases the interview is H.R. but if the person who is communicating with you is of technical background then there is most of a chance that there will be a technical interview. Generally the interview lasts for 30 minutes. During the technical interview most common questions are from softwares like C++, Auto CAD, PRO- E, CATIA etc . & the subjects which we study during our curriculum. But in case of H.R. interview the general queries are as follows: I: Why do u want to join L&T Infotech being a mechanical engineer as u know that its an I.T. company? I: what will be your choice if you will get a chance to enter the core company of your stream? I: Where you see yourself after 5 years in L&T? I: What you are expecting from L&T.? The selected candidates from this round will get a chance to join the organization in the coming time, so I‘ll conclude the whole experience as a challenging one but not impossible to crack the whole selection procedure. I convey my best wishes to all the candidates who are going to appear in the on campus drive of selection in L&T Infotech. So work hard and do well in the coming future. MOHAMMAD AAMIR A.F.S.E.T., FARIDABAD

Out of 250 students, 150 cleared written test…. So, all the best guys….. Next I had Technical round on 19th march 2008. Technical Round: For this prepare well your academic subjects. They can ask on any one and u should able to answer. I have prepared just C, C++, DS. Take care that ur resume is the best if ur technical knowledge is not much good. Add something in ur resume that attracts interviewer to ask u. If u lead ur interview in the way u want, it would impress the interviewer… We were having presentation of t.c.s. at 9.30 am. in morning. Please attend this presentation. My turn came at 12.20pm. I was first to be interviewed in my block. Be confident, they don‘t see whether u are best in technical or not. They will definitely select u, if u have positive approach and confidence. The interviewer called me and started interview… · Interviewer will judge u within a minute u enter the room. So be confident and show them that u will fit best in their company. · Please take care to wish the interviewer properly. · tell me about urself ? · 3 ques on dbms? (like dml, rdbms…). · Strength, weakness? (explained all well). · Explain Hacking? (que was asked as I had mentioned in my resume—explined for 6 min). · Ques on wi-fi tech, online file sharing, code ragging- all included in my resume. (explained all well, thus spent 15 min). · Be prepared for ques like- why tcs?, why should we select u?, which position in tcs? · Please do ask a question at last if interviewer tells ―do u have any question?‖. Blockwise results were declared, nd I got result at 2pm. Out of 150 students 70 cleared technical round. HR INTERVIEW: On same day at 2.30pm, I had filled a form and was called at hr interview. There were more technical ques compared to hr. ques. In this round u will get the same questions as have been asked till now e.g. ―tell me abt urself ― ― ur family background ― favourite subjects. Ques from subjects other than fav. Subjects. How current is produced? How is flux produced? What are registers?
―I was shocked by these ques…‖ Strength? Sir-which work would u prefer in tcs? Me- coding. Sir- have u coded anything till now. Me (not coded yet still) – ya sir, I have prepared a game of tic tac toe. Sir- explain code for that? I prepared code and explained it for 15 minutes. Sir was definitely impressed. Sir-―are u mobile?‖ Me –―u can throw me anywhere in the world, I cud fit anywhere‖. I asked reasons why tcs firing 500 employees? Sir-―they were not knowing basics of electronics‖ Me-―sir u can not fire a person without hiring them‖ Sir laughed . Say thanks to sir while leaving. It was informed on next day that Total 33 were selected out of 70 that appeared in H.R. interview. Do perform well nd all d best for ur future………

TCS PAPER ON 24th MARCH AT BHUBANESWAR Hello frnds,I am Samir Anand (MCA 4th sem),TCS recruitment team visited our campus on 24th march, and selected 310 students.It was 2 day process,written test followed by tech n hr interview (combined). nearly 560 turned up for written test, out of which 502 qualified for the next round, and finally 310 were selected...... I wud like to share my experience wid all of u .The paper as usual consisted of 3 sections1) VERBAL ( 32 questions ) 2) APTITUDE (38 questions ) 3) CRITICAL REASONING ( 12 questions ) in the verbal section there were 10 synonyms,10 antonyms,6 sentence completeion ques and 6 ques on reading comprehension.for this u just follow GRE Barron 12th edition,each n every ques comes from that particular book. this is the exact ques that was in the paper:-(with ans) In a sense the university had failed. It has stores great quantities of knowledge; it teaches more people; and despite its failures, it teaches them better.__D___ . Of the great branches of knowledge- the sciences the social sciences and humanities- the science are applied. Strenuous and occasionally successful efforts are made to apply the social sciences, not almost never are the humanities well applied. We do not use philosophy in defining our conduct. __E__. The great task of the university in the next generation is to learn to use the knowledge we have for the questions that come before us. __F___ The difference between a primary problem and a secondary or even tertiary problem is that primary problems tend to be around for a long time, whereas the less important ones get solved. One primary problem is that of interfering with biological development. ___A____. Obviously, there are benefits both to individuals and to society from eliminating, or at least improving, mentally and physically deformed persons.

For this section you have to prepare from 1. Barron?s GRE high frequency word list. 2. Barron?s GRE antonym questions. 3. Barron?s GRE sentence completion questions. 4.

Some of my frnds got common from this zone in our aptitude test.But I didn?t get common.So,I had to solve those on the spot. PERSONAL INTERVIEW: Result of Aptitude Test was published at 2.45pm.Then I hd to wait a long time to get my call for interview.It was 10.45pm,I was called for my personal interview.I was so tired then.But I was still smiling. At first there were three persons in my panel. But at the end of my intrvw that number became five. But all of them were very friendly?.. Person3: Ur name is Prithwish?My boss?s name is Prithwish. Its a sweet name. Me: Thank u sir. (Then he said,plz take ur seat.I said Thank u,sir.and then said Good evening sir??.) Person3: Why there is a dffrnce in ur percentages in 10th and 12th (seeing my C.V)?(Very imprsd with my 10th percentage.) Me: Answered properly with clear analysis. Person3: Share ur project experience with us.(Both postv and ngtv). Me: Shared all my xperiences. Person3: What is ur favourite subject? Me: C. Person3: C is not a subject.And C is very common.(not imprsd).OK.Who is inventor of C? Me: Answered???. Person3: Do u know what was the name of C at the time of invention? Me: I knew it sir, but I can?t recall it right now. (B honest and smart.Dont try to pretend). Person2: Why have u chosen IT as ur career option? Me: I suggest everyone to prepare a convincing ans of this Q.I gave a very suitable ans. Persons2 : Who is ur father?Where is he? Me: Answered??? Person2: Who is ur mother?.. Me: Answered?.. Person2: How does IT help ur parents? Me: Explained well?. Person4: (He came suddenly and joined to my panel) U hv done a paper(Seeing my CV).I m very intrstd to knw abt ur paper.Pls share ur xprnce of paper presentation. Me: Shared everything in detail regarding my xperience of paper presentation in Varanasi .?? (He was very imprssd..Appreciated me for achieving such a rare xperience.) Person1: (He was busy with a form. After completing that one he started to ask me Qs) Why there is a dffrnce in ur percentages in 10th and 12th (seeing my C.V)? Me: Gave same ans as previous?.. Person1: What?s ur class rank? Me: TOP in 4th sem (As we hv registered in TCS upto 4th sem.Then our result of 5th sem was published.)???. Person1: So u r TOPPER in ur class? Me: Yes sir (With a big smile.) Person1: Then What?s the rank in 5th sem ? Me: 5th or 6th. Person1: In 4th sem U ranked TOP and in 5th sem U ranked 5th.Why so? Me: After 4th sem I was involved in my project and paper.So I had to spend most of the times with these works to finish them successfully.For this reason I couldn?t concentrate fully in my semester subjects and that was why I ranked 5th and not TOP?(They laughed and they saw my certificate of paper presentation).
Person3: Which one is ur favourite subject in 5th sem? Me: OOP concept with core JAVA. Person3: What is OOP? Tell me any 4 features of OOPs.. Me: Defined OOP very well and told 4 features of OOP---1.ABSTRACTION, 2. ENCAPSULATION, 3. INHERITANCE and 4. POLYMORPHISM. Person3: Just think I am a LAYMAN.I hv no idea abt OOPs.

Me: Yes sir,(I have shown them our clg magazine ?CONFLUENCE? as one of my poems named ?RATRI? published over there.) Person1: Your poem is abt night,why not abt day?And I think night is a ngtv thought,so (from this) can I conclude that u r a ngtv minded person??? Me: No sir,not at all.Bcz in this poem I hv tried to depict the various forms of night.And if u think postvly,night is a junction of 2 days.Night comes after ending of a day and before begining of a day.Night is basically a platform for starting of new dreams and aspirations.So it is a complete postv thought.Nothing is ngtv in it.(He was convincd and very impressd with my ans.His face was glowing with satisfaction.He said?I hv no Qs?) Person4: Do u hv any query? Me: Asked abt training session of TCS. Person4: Explained ???.R u mobile????????????? Me: Yes sir,absolutely? Person4: Ok,I hv no Qs. Person2: Tell me any other subject which u prefer except C. Me: ANALYSIS & DESIGN OF INFORMATION SYSTEM. Person2: (Surprised to hear this sbjct as one of my favourite sbjct .) Is this ur favrt sbjct? Me: Yes sir. Person2: OK. Tell me what is SDLC? Me: Explained very well? Person2: What r the steps in SDLC????? Explain??? Me: Explained properly???(He was very impressed and satisfied with my Explaination and then said I hv no Qs..) Me: Thnk u sir. Person4: GOOD NIGHT,PRITHWISH?.. Me: Good night,sir??? It was 11.20pm..I was very satisfied with my performance?...Our result was published on 3rd March,2008( After 3 days of INTRVW)..I was very happy to see my name in the list of the selected candidates?Lastly I want to say one thing---It is like a one day game.Getting a job is a magic of GOD, needs a support of ur LUCK. Things to remember: 1. Be cool and confident. 2. Be optimistic. 3. Basic concepts of every topic should b very clear. 4. Whatever the terms u will use in ur intrvw u should hv full cnfdnt on it. 5. Answers should be compact and relevant. Never try to pretend. Be smart and honest.

TCS INTERVIEW ON 9th MARCH 2008 Hello Guys . This is Ashutosh Kumar Singh (B.Tech 3rd year CS ). TCS conducted a recruitment Drive in my college (V.I.E.T , Ghzbd) on 9th March 2008 (for three days ). I cleared the written exam (online) . For written exam , just go through the previous papers & Barron‘s 12 Edition . This will be sufficient . But, b careful not to press d ‗Exit‘ button . It‘ll lock ur answers . Interview was a three round process . • Technical Round . • HR Round . • Mangerial Round . Technical Round : Firstly ,I entered the room for the technical interview . I said ―May I come in Sir‖ . He said ―Come in‖ . I said ―Good Morning‖ to both the interviewers (actually 1 was male & another female). I said ―May I sit‖ They said ―Sure‖ . The first question for me is ―Tell me about yourself‖ . Told . Then they immediately shifted there focus to technical part . They read ( in my CV ) about my first Project . He asked ―Wht‘s platform for dis‖. I said ―Java Sir‖ . He said ―You know Java‖ . I said ―only Core Java‖ . He asked ―What is Multithreaded ?‖ . Told . ( Upto 5 mins he asked questions related to Multithreading , I gave answer to all questions ) . He asked ―Wht is Inheritance ?‖ . Told . He asked ―Is dere any concept of Multiple Inheritance ?‖ . I said ―No‖ . He asked ―Then How can we achieve Multiple Inheritance ?‖. I said ―We can use Interfaces‖. He asked few questions on Interfaces . He asked about RDBMS . (My favourite ). I told everything about RDBMS . He asked ―Wht is DDL & DML ?‖. Told . They both asked a lot questions on RDBMS & answered all of them . Finally the lady questioned ―Do u know JDBC ?‖ I said ―Yes ! I used JDBC in my project‖ . Then She said ―Can u just write the code to connect Java with any Database ?‖. I wrote the whole code for connection . And then I came out of the room . HR Round : After 5 mins or so ,I got a call for Hr interview . I entered the room ―May I come in MAM ?‖ . There were two sweet females . I said ―Good morning Mam‖ . They said ―Good morning‖ . They said ―Tell me about yourself which is not mentioned in ur CV‖. I said ―My hobbies r … , My strengths are …, My weakness are …‖ . In d weakness section I said ―Due to dedicated work my social Life gets affected‖ . She said ―Ashutosh ! U r very smart‖ . She repeated this sentence thrice . But I repeatedly said ―Mam whether u believe it or not it‘s a fact‖ . I even mentioned some of my instances where I actually suffered due to work . She said ― Why TCS ?‖ . Told . She said ―If we place u somewhere like Trivandaram ?‖ I said ―No problem ! Mam‖. She told me about the Bond of Rs. 50000 , that if I‘ll leave TCS b4 2 years ,then I‘ll have to pay this much of amount . ―R u comfortable with the amount ?‖ . I said ―I‘ll not leave TCS for my whole life .So, I don‘t have to worry about this amount‖ After few more questions , I got out of the room . MR round (Next Day) : I entered the room saying ― May I come in Sir‖ . This time there was only 1 single guy . He seems to b a very experienced man .
He said ―Come in‖ . He said ―Tell me about yourself , Explain both ur projects (2) . This time only u‘ll speak & I‘ll listen‖ . I started off & ended up explaining my both two projects . He asked few questions on my project ( especially from the second project ) . Then he asked me some general questions .At last he asked me to solve 1 puzzle "There r 9 points & I was supposed to join dese points with only 4 lines " . I did this . Then he again gave another puzzle ,which was a bit tough for me . I wasn't able to solve dis 1 . It's like if u dont answer or able to crack dese baffles ,u dont need to b worry ,coz dese things hardly matters . But ,If u'll solve dem ,it'll b an added advantage for u . Otherwise ,I think dat only d Technical interview is important . It's like 70% - Tech interview , 20% - Hr Interview & 10 % - Mr Interview . After 3-4 long hours results were announced & My name was there . I was very happy . It‘s very easy to crack TCS . Guys u can do it , I must say AnyBody can do it . Best of LUCK . See u at TCS ...

TCS INTERVIEW ON 25th MARCH AT BHUBANESWAR Well guys !!!TCS recruited perhaps the highest number of students from our college i.e KIIT and the figure is 310 to be precise..Around 500 had qualified for the interview (HR and Tech combined) from 550 who were allowed to write the written test. And not to mention I was one of the lot. Thanks to all the papers uploaded on this site by numerous people .I am not uploading my written test paper because all the questions were same .But u must be cautious while reading as they have changed the values .They have prepared a same set of questions with values changed and the same questions are being given all over india.So my suggestion for the written are simple. Just solve 2-3 papers uploaded on this site and i believe u will be through the written test. For L.R section just go through barron's 12th edition .Same for the comprehension Now comes the P.I. part. Luckily I had H.R and tech combined .In case u don't no need to worry ..Just go through the basics of whatever fav subjects u r going to mention.U never no which panel u would get. In some panel they would only H.R and in some other only Tech. So it all depends.They may not ask u form ur fav subjects and at the same time they may ask about NEWTON's laws of motion, gauss law ,faraday law etc.So u see u need to know abt the basics and some indepth knowledge abt ur fav. subjects.It may happen that they may not ask for for ur subjects.It depends..... So I am only going to tell u abt my interview experience I gave my P.I to a lady and don't take her for granted .... Lady:: so tell me abt urself which is not mentioned in ur resume. me:: told abt my hostel life Lady:: so what is the best part of hostel life? me:: told something abt unity,to adapt Lady: :if someone does a wrong thing( in a workplace) what would u do me:: told lady:: draw the architecture of 8085 mp me:: did and explained too(u should) lady: diff between c nd c++ me:: told lady:: diff between linux and windows( i had done a project on linux) me: :told lady:: some more questions abt my project lady:: name first 10 elements of periodic table(where did this come from) me: could tell only first five but told sorry lady:: tell me newton's first law and 2nd law me: :told both
lady:: who is the CEO of TCS me:: mr s rama dorai lady:: what do u know abt TCS me:: told what i had gathered frm net(u must listen at the presentation) lady::: some questions on hobbies what do u generally blog abt me: :told lady:: are u on orkut me:: yes mam lady:: how many hrs do u spent on orkut me:: defended myself by saying that i visit only when any notification abt new scraps come into my mail lady:: seems satisfied lady:: u can ask any question me :: asked abt recession end of the interview One sincere advice to all of u . You must know each and everything u mention on ur resume .Speak well and support with examples. don' have a rigid stance .Brush up ur fundamentals I am frm ETC department so people from my department need to know simple programs in c and concepts of c++. thats it from myself Best of luck . Remenber TCS is not the end .

TCS PAPER ON 17th MARCH AT BHUBANESWAR hi...i am Akhilesh thakur from KRUPAJAL ENGG COLLEGE, bhubaneswar.we were having on campus drive of TCS on 17 & 18 march 2008.All together there were 230 students were there,184 cleared the written test and finally 78 got through the Campus,And I was one of them. All the aptitude questions were repeated from previous year papers from TCS.For critical reasoning section go through the GRE 12th edition,it is available on the net.Even if u r not able to solve that just mug up the answers. First there will be PPT frm TCS then they will give u the details of online test.there is no sectional cut off ,attempt as much question frm aptitude section,as most of them are repeated There will be three section 1.English 32 ques 20min 2.Aptitude section 38ques 40 min. 3.critical reasoning 12ques 30min. QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE SECTION 1. Two pencils costs 8 cents, then 5 pencils cost how much Sol: 2 pencils è 8 cents => 1 pencil è 4 cents Therefore 5 pencils cost = 5 * 4 = 20 cents 2. A work is done by two people in 24 min. one of them can do this work a lonely in 40 min. how much time required to do the same work for the second person. Sol: (A+B) can do the work in = 1/24 min. A alone can do the same work in = 1/40 min. B alone can do the same work in = (A+B)‘s – A‘s = 1/24 – 1/40 = 1/60 Therefore, b can do the same work in = 60 min
3.A car is filled with four and half gallons of oil for full round trip. Fuel is taken 1/4 gallon more in going than coming. What is the fuel consumed in coming up? Sol Before the trip, car is filled with = 4 ½ gallon of oil Let ‗X‘ be the quantity of fuel consumed for the trip in one direction The fuel consumed while going = X + ¼ The fuel consumed while coming = X Therefore, the fuel consumed for the trip = (X + ¼) + X = 4 ½ ð 2X + ¼ = 4 ½ => 2X = 4 ½ - ¼ => 2X = 4 ¼ => X= 2. approx Therefore the fuel consumed while coming = 2 gallon 4. Low temperature at the night in a city is 1/3 more than 1/2 high as higher temperature in a day. Sum of the low temperature and highest temp. is 100 degrees. Then what is the low temp? Sol: 40 deg. 5. A person, who decided to go to weekend trip should not exceed 8 hours driving in a day. Average speed of forward journey is 40 m/h.

TCS PAPER ON 11th MARCH 2008 AT LUCKNOW Hi friends i am RAHUL from INTEGRAL UNIVERSITY . ..i have got placed with TCS , thru campus placements......out of 207 .students 98 cleared written and finally 32 selected. n i am thankful to each one of u for being so informative thru this group n specially to all those who provided me with info abt TCS in last few days... thr selection procedure. 1. u need to hv first class throughtout(10th,12th,grad) 2. engineering student then 60% n above 3.if post grad(MCA) 60% n above Paper pattern 1- set has three sections a> English(10 antonyms n 10 syno..)...( 32 marks 20 mins) b> Reading comprehension passages and comleting sentence(6 + 6)marks 2nd section is Quantitative...(40 mins 32 ques).. 3rd section is Critical reasoning..(30 mins 12 ques..) FOR ANTONYMS N SYNONYMS just go through the barrons 12 edition .but i think thats too much so its better not to worried about the antonyms and synonyms .they are too tough and dont waste ur time in that becoz the time alloted for this section is just 20 minutes.......and you have to complete the reading comprehension and sentence completion as well.............. REMEMBER- there is no sectional cut off and no upper or lower cut off neither any type of negative marking......so attempt all the question..... QUANTITATIVE SECTION they are just repeating these section every time some of the questions are TCS PAPER ON 19th JANUARY 2008 1) If log 0.317=0.3332 and log 0.318=0.3364 then find log 0.319 ? Sol) log 0.317=0.3332 and log 0.318=0.3364, then log 0.319=log0.318+(log(0.318-0.317)) = 0.3396 2) A box of 150 packets consists of 1kg packets and 2kg packets. Total weight of box is 264kg. How many 2kg packets are there ? Sol) x= 2 kg Packs y= 1 kg packs x + y = 150 .......... Eqn 1 2x + y = 264 .......... Eqn 2 Solve the Simultaneous equation; x = 114 so, y = 36 ANS : Number of 2 kg Packs = 114. 3) My flight takes of at 2am from a place at 18N 10E and landed 10 Hrs later at a place with coordinates 36N70W. What is the local time when my plane landed? 6:00 am b) 6:40am c) 7:40 d) 7:00 e) 8:00 Sol) The destination place is 80 degree west to the starting place. Hence the time difference between these two places is 5 hour 20 min. (=24hr*80/360). When the flight landed, the time at the starting place is 12 noon (2 AM + 10 hours). Hence, the time at the destination place is 12 noon - 5:20 hours = 6: 40 AM 4) A plane moves from 9°N40°E to 9°N40°W. If the plane starts at 10 am and takes 8 hours to reach the destination, find the local arrival time ? Sol) Since it is moving from east to west longitide we need to add both ie,40+40=80 multiply the ans by 4 =>80*4=320min convert this min to hours ie, 5hrs 20min It takes 8hrs totally . So 8-5hr 20 min=2hr 40min So the ans is 10am+2hr 30 min
=>ans is 12:30 it will reach 5) The size of the bucket is N kb. The bucket fills at the rate of 0.1 kb per millisecond. A programmer sends a program to receiver. There it waits for 10 milliseconds. And response will be back to programmer in 20 milliseconds. How much time the program takes to get a response back to the programmer, after it is sent? Please tell me the answer with explanation. Very urgent. Sol) see it doesn't matter that wat the time is being taken to fill the bucket.after reaching program it waits there for 10ms and back to the programmer in 20 ms.then total time to get the response is 20ms +10 ms=30ms...it's so simple.... 6) A file is transferred from one location to another in 'buckets'. The size of the bucket is 10 kilobytes. Each bucket gets filled at the rate of 0.0001 kilobytes per millisecond. The transmission time from sender to receiver is 10 m illiseconds per bucket. After the receipt of the bucket the receiver sends an acknowledgement that reaches sender in 100 milliseconds. Assuming no error during transmission, write a formula to calculate the time taken in seconds to successfully complete the transfer of a file of size N kilobytes. (n/1000)*(n/10)*10+(n/100)....as i hv calculated...~~!not 100% sure 7) A fisherman's day is rated as good if he catches 9 fishes, fair if 7 fishes and bad if 5 fishes. He catches 53 fishes in a week n had all good, fair n bad days in the week. So how many good, fair n bad days did the fisher man had in the week Ans:4 good, 1 fair n 2 bad days Sol) Go to river catch fish 4*9=36 7*1=7 2*5=10 36+7+10=53... take what is given 53 good days means --- 9 fishes so 53/9=4(remainder=17) if u assume 5 then there is no chance for bad days. fair days means ----- 7 fishes so remaining 17 --- 17/7=1(remainder=10) if u assume 2 then there is no chance for bad days. bad days means -------5 fishes so remaining 10---10/5=2days. Ans: 4 good, 1 fair, 2bad. ==== total 7 days. x+y+z=7--------- eq1 9*x+7*y+5*z=53 -------eq2 multiply eq 1 by 9, 9*x+9*y+9*z=35 -------------eq3 from eq2 and eq3 2*y+4*z=10-----eq4 since all x,y and z are integer i sud put a integer value of y such that z sud be integer in eq 4 .....and ther will be two value y=1 or 3 then z = 2 or 1 from eq 4 for first y=1,z=2 then from eq1 x= 4 so 9*4+1*7+2*5=53.... satisfied now for second y=3 z=1 then from eq1 x=3 so 9*3+3*7+1*5=53 ......satisfied so finally there are two solution of this question (x,y,z)=(4,1,2) and (3,3,1)... 8) Y catches 5 times more fishes than X. If total number of fishes caught by X and Y is 42, then number of fishes caught by X? Sol) Let no. of fish x catches=p no. caught by y =r r=5p. r+p=42 then p=7,r=35 9) Three companies are working independently and receiving the savings 20%, 30%, 40%. If the companies work combinely, what will be their net savings? suppose total income is 100 so amount x is getting is 80 y is 70 z =60 total=210 but total money is 300
300-210=90 so they are getting 90 rs less 90 is 30% of 300 so they r getting 30% discount 10) The ratio of incomes of C and D is 3:4.the ratio of their expenditures is 4:5. Find the ratio of their savings if the savings of C is one fourths of his income? Sol) incomes:3:4 expenditures:4:5 3x-4y=1/4(3x) 12x-16y=3x 9x=16y y=9x/16 (3x-4(9x/16))/((4x-5(9x/16))) ans:12/19 11) If G(0) = -1 G(1)= 1 and G(N)=G(N-1) - G(N-2) then what is the value of G(6)? ans: -1 bcoz g(2)=g(1)-g(0)=1+1=2 g(3)=1 g(4)=-1 g(5)=-2 g(6)=-1 12) If A can copy 50 pages in 10 hours and A and B together can copy 70 pages in 10 hours, how much time does B takes to copy 26 pages? Sol) A can copy 50 pages in 10 hrs. A can copy 5 pages in 1hr.(50/10) now A & B can copy 70 pages in 10hrs. thus, B can copy 90 pages in 10 hrs.[eqn. is (50+x)/2=70, where x--> no. of pages B can copy in 10 hrs.] so, B can copy 9 pages in 1hr. therefore, to copy 26 pages B will need almost 3hrs. since in 3hrs B can copy 27 pages. 13) what's the answer for that : A, B and C are 8 bit no's. They are as follows: A -> 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 B -> 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 C -> 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 ( - =minus, u=union) Find ((A - C) u B) =? To find A-C, We will find 2's compliment of C and them add it with A, That will give us (A-C) 2's compliment of C=1's compliment of C+1 =11000101+1=11000110 A-C=11000101+11000110 =10001001 Now (A-C) U B is .OR. logic operation on (A-C) and B 10001001 .OR . 00110011 The answer is = 10111011, Whose decimal equivalent is 187. 14) One circular array is given(means memory allocation tales place in circular fashion) diamension(9X7) and sarting add. is 3000, What is the address of (2,3)........ Sol) it's a 9x7 int array so it reqiure a 126 bytes for storing.b'ze integer value need 2 byes of memory allocation. and starting add is 3000 so starting add of 2x3 will be 3012. 15) In a two-dimensional array, X (9, 7), with each element occupying 4 bytes of memory, with the address of the first element X (1, 1) is 3000, find the address of X (8, 5). Sol) initial x (1,1) = 3000 u hav to find from x(8,1)so u have x(1,1),x(1,2) ... x(7,7) = so u have totally 7 * 7 = 49 elementsu need to find for x(8,5) ? here we have 5 elements each element have 4 bytes : (49 + 5 -1) * 4 = 212 -----( -1 is to deduct the 1 element ) 3000 + 212 = 3212
16) Which of the following is power of 3 a) 2345 b) 9875 c) 6504 d) 9833 17) The size of a program is N. And the memory occupied by the program is given by M = square root of 100N. If the size of the program is increased by 1% then how much memory now occupied ? Sol) M=sqrt(100N) N is increased by 1% therefore new value of N=N + (N/100) =101N/100 M=sqrt(100 * (101N/100) ) Hence, we get M=sqrt(101 * N) 18) 1)SCOOTER --------- AUTOMOBILE--- A.

What was the raised product? a) 780 b) 1040 c) 1590 d) 1720 Sol) x*53-x*35=540=> x=30 therefore, 53*30=1590 Ans 25) How many positive integer solutions does the equation 2x+3y = 100 have? a) 50 b) 33 c) 16 d) 35 Sol) There is a simple way to answer this kind of Q's given 2x+3y=100, take l.c.m of 'x' coeff and 'y' coeff i.e. l.c.m of 2,3 ==6then divide 100 with 6 , which turns out 16 hence answer is 16short cut formula--- constant / (l.cm of x coeff
and y coeff) 26) The total expense of a boarding house are partly fixed and partly variable with the number of boarders. The charge is Rs.70 per head when there are 25 boarders and Rs.60 when there are 50 boarders. Find the charge per head when there are 100 boarders. a) 65 b) 55 c) 50 d) 45 Sol) Let a = fixed cost and k = variable cost and n = number of boarders total cost when 25 boarders c = 25*70 = 1750 i.e. 1750 = a + 25k total cost when 50 boarders c = 50*60 = 3000 i.e. 3000 = a + 50k solving above 2 eqns, 3000-1750 = 25k i.e. 1250 = 25k i.e. k = 50 therefore, substituting this value of k in either of above 2 eqns we get a = 500 (a = 3000-50*50 = 500 or a = 1750 - 25*50 = 500) so total cost when 100 boarders = c = a + 100k = 500 + 100*50 = 5500 so cost per head = 5500/100 = 55 27) Amal bought 5 pens, 7 pencils and 4 erasers. Rajan bought 6 pens, 8 erasers and 14 pencils for an amount which was half more than what Amal had paid. What % of the total amount paid by Amal was paid for pens? a) 37.5% b) 62.5% c) 50% d) None of these Sol) Let, 5 pens + 7 pencils + 4 erasers = x rupees so 10 pens + 14 pencils + 8 erasers = 2*x rupees also mentioned, 6 pens + 14 pencils + 8 erarsers = 1.5*x rupees so (10-6) = 4 pens = (2-1.5)x rupees so 4 pens = 0.5x rupees => 8 pens = x rupees so 5 pens = 5x/8 rupees = 5/8 of total (note x rupees is total amt paid byamal) i.e 5/8 = 500/8% = 62.5% is the answer 28) I lost Rs.68 in two races. My second race loss is Rs.6 more than the first race. My friend lost Rs.4 more than me in the second race. What is the amount lost by my friend in the second race? Sol) x + x+6 = rs 68 2x + 6 = 68 2x = 68-6 2x = 62 x=31 x is the amt lost in I race x+ 6 = 31+6=37 is lost in second race then my friend lost 37 + 4 = 41 Rs 29) Ten boxes are there.

So, their one day work is (1/A)+(1+B)=(1/24) One man can complete the work in 40mins one man's one day work (1/B)= (1/40) Now, (1/A)=(1/24)-(1/40) (1/A)=(1/60) So, A can complete the work in 60 mins. 40) In a company 30% are supervisors and 40% employees are male if 60% of supervisors are male. What is the probability? That a randomly chosen employee is a male or female? Sol) 40% employees are male if 60% of supervisors are male so for 100% is 26.4%so the probability is 0.264 41) In 80 coins one coin is counterfeit what is minimum number of weighing to find out counterfeit coin Sol) the minimum number of wieghtings needed is just 5.as shown below (1) 80->30-30 (2) 15-15 (3) 7-7 (4) 3-3 (5) 1-1
42) 2 oranges, 3 bananas and 4 apples cost Rs.15. 3 oranges, 2 bananas, and 1 apple costs Rs 10. What is the cost of 3 oranges, 3 bananas and 3 apples? 2x+3y+4z=15 3x+2y+z=10 adding 5x+5y+5z=25 x+y+z=5 that is for 1 orange, 1 bannana and 1 apple requires 5Rs. so for 3 orange, 3 bannana and 3 apple requires 15Rs. i.e. 3x+3y+3z=15 43) In 8*8 chess board what is the total number of squares refers Sol) odele discovered that there are 204 squares on the board We found that you would add the different squares - 1 + 4 + 9 + 16+ 25 + 36 + 49 + 64. Also in 3*3 tic tac toe board what is the total no of squares Ans 14 ie 9+4(bigger ones)+1 (biggest one) If you ger 100*100 board just use the formula the formula for the sum of the first n perfect squares is n x (n + 1) x (2n + 1) ______________________ 6 if in this formula if you put n=8 you get your answer 204 44) One fast typist type some matter in 2hr and another slow typist type the same matter in 3hr. If both do combinely in how much time they will finish. Sol) Faster one can do 1/2 of work in one hourslower one can do 1/3 of work in one hourboth they do (1/2+1/3=5/6) th work in one hour.so work will b finished in 6/5=1.2 hour i e 1 hour 12 min. 45) If Rs20/- is available to pay for typing a research report & typist A produces 42 pages and typist B produces 28 pages. How much should typist A receive? Here is the answer Find of 42 % of 20 rs with respect to 70 (i.e 28 + 42) ==> (42 * 20 )/70 ==> 12 Rs 46) An officer kept files on his table at various times in the order 1,2,3,4,5,6. Typist can take file from top whenever she has time and type it.What order she cann t type.? 47) In some game 139 members have participated every time one fellow will get bye what is the number of matches to choose the champion to be held? the answer is 138 matches Sol) since one player gets a bye in each round,he will reach the finals of the tournament without playing a match. http://www.ChetanaS.org therefore 137 matches should be played to detemine the second finalist from the remaining 138 players(excluding the 1st player) therefore to determine the winner 138 matches shd be played. 48) One rectangular plate with length 8inches, breadth 11 inches and 2 inches thickness is there. What is the length of the circular rod with diameter 8 inches and equal to volume of rectangular plate? Sol) Vol. of rect. plate= 8*11*2=176 area of rod=(22/7)*(8/2)*(8/2)=(352/7) vol. of rod=area*length=vol. of plate so length of rod= vol of plate/area=176/(352/7)=3.5 49) One tank will fill in 6 minutes at the rate of 3cu ft /min, length of tank is 4 ft and the width is 1/2 of length, what is the depth of the tank? 3 ft 7.5 inches 50) A man has to get air-mail. He starts to go to airport on his motorbike. Plane comes early and the mail is sent by a horse-cart. The man meets the cart in the middle after half an hour. He takes the mail and returns back, by doing so, he saves twenty minutes. How early did the plane arrive? ans:10min:::assume he started at 1:00,so at 1:30 he met cart. He returned home at 2:00.so it took him 1 hour for the total jorney.by doing this he saved 20 min.so the actual time if the plane is not late is 1 hour and 20 min.so the actual time of plane is at 1:40.The cart travelled a time of 10 min before it met him.so the plane is 10 min early. 51) Ram singh goes to his office in the city every day from his suburban house. His driver Mangaram drops him at the
railway station in the morning and picks him up in the evening. Every evening Ram singh reaches the station at 5 o'clock. Mangaram also reaches at the same time. One day Ram singh started early from his office and came to the station at 4 o'clock. Not wanting to wait for the car he starts walking home. Mangaram starts at normal time, picks him up on the way and takes him back house, half an hour early. How much time did Ram singh walked? 52) 2 trees are there. One grows at 3/5 of the other. In 4 years total growth of the trees is 8 ft. what growth will smaller tree have in 2 years. Sol) THE BIG TREE GROWS 8FT IN 4 YEARS=>THE BIG TREE GROWS 4FT IN 2 YEARS.WHEN WE DIVIDE 4FT/5=.8*3=>2.4 ans: 1.5 mt 4 (x+(3/5)x)=88x/5=2x=5/4 after 2 years x=(3/5)*(5/4)*2 =1.5 53) There is a six digit code. Its first two digits, multiplied by 3 gives all ones. And the next two digits multiplied by 6 give all twos. Remaining two digits multiplied by 9 gives all threes. Then what is the code? sol) Assume the digit xx xx xx (six digits) First Two digit xx * 3=111 xx=111/3=37 ( first two digits of 1 is not divisible by 3 so we can use 111) Second Two digit xx*6=222 xx=222/6=37 ( first two digits of 2 is not divisible by 6 so we can use 222) Thrid Two digit xx*9=333 xx=333/9=37 ( first two digits of 3 is not divisible by 9 so we can use 333) 54) There are 4 balls and 4 boxes of colours yellow, pink, red and green. Red ball is in a box whose colour is same as that of the ball in a yellow box. Red box has green ball. In which box you find the yellow ball? ans is green... Sol) Yellow box can have either of pink/yellow balls. if we put a yellow ball in "yellow" box then it wud imply that "yellow" is also the colour of the box which has the red ball(becoz acordin 2 d question,d box of the red ball n the ball in the yellow box have same colour) thus this possibility is ruled out... therefore the ball in yellow box must be pink,hence the colour of box containin red ball is also pink.... =>the box colour left out is "green",,,which is alloted to the only box left,,,the one which has yellow ball.. 55) A bag contains 20 yellow balls, 10 green balls, 5 white balls, 8 black balls, and 1 red ball. How many minimum balls one should pick out so that to make sure the he gets at least 2 balls of same color. Ans:he should pick 6 ball totally. Sol) Suppose he picks 5 balls of all different colours then when he picks up the sixth one, it must match any on of the previously drawn ball colour. thus he must pick 6 balls 56) What is the number of zeros at the end of the product of the numbers from 1 to 100 Sol) For every 5 in unit palce one zero is added Ch eta naS so between 1 to 100 there are 10 nos like 5,15,25,..,95 which has 5 in unit place. Similarly for every no divisible by 10 one zero is added in the answer so between 1 to 100 11 zeros are added for 25,50,75 3 extra zeros are added so total no of zeros are 10+11+3=24 57) 10 Digit number has its first digit equals to the numbers of 1's, second digit equals to the numbers of 2's, 3rd digit equals to the numbers of 3's .4th equals number of 4's..till 9th digit equals to the numbers of 9's and 10th digit equals to the number of 0's. what is the number?.(6marks) ans:2100010006 2---shows that two 1's in the ans 1---shows that one 2 in ans 0---shows no 3 in the ans 0---shows no 4 in the ans 0---shows no 5 in the ans 1---shows one 6 in the ans 0---shows no 7 in the ans 0---shows no 8 in the ans 0---shows no 9 in the ans 6---shows six 0's in the ans 58) There are two numbers in the ratio 8:9. if the smaller of the two numbers is increased by 12 and the larger number
is reduced by 19 thee the ratio of the two numbers is 5:9. Find the larger number? sol) 8x:9x initialy 8x+ 12 : 9x - 19 = 5x:9x 8x+12 = 5x -> x = 4 9x = 36 not sure about the answer .. 59) There are three different boxes A, B and C. Difference between weights of A and B is 3 kgs. And between B and C is 5 kgs. Then what is the maximum sum of the differences of all possible combinations when two boxes are taken each time A-B = 3 B-c = 5 a-c = 8 so sum of diff = 8+3+5 = 16 kgs 60) A and B are shooters and having their exam. A and B fall short of 10 and 2 shots respectively to the qualifying mark. If each of them fired atleast one shot and even by adding their total score together, they fall short of the qualifying mark, what is the qualifying mark? ans is 11 coz each had atleast 1 shot done so 10 + 1 = 11 n 9 + 2 = 11 so d ans is 11 61) A, B, C, and D tells the following times by looking at their watches. A tells it is 3 to 12. B tells it is 3 past 12. C tells it is 12:2. D tells it is half a dozen too soon to 12. No two watches show the same time. The difference between the watches is 2,3,4,5 respectively. Whose watch shows maximum time? sol) A shows 11:57, B shows 12:03, C shows 12:02, and D shows 11:06 therefore, max time is for B 62) Falling height is proportional to square of the time. One object falls 64cm in 2sec than in 6sec from how much height the object will fall. Sol) The falling height is proportional to the squere of the time. Now, the falling height is 64cm at 2sec so, the proportional constant is=64/(2*2)=16; so, at 6sec the object fall maximum (16*6*6)cm=576cm; Now, the object may be situated at any where. if it is>576 only that time the object falling 576cm within 6sec .Otherwise if it is situated<576 then it fall only that height at 6sec. 63) Gavaskar average in first 50 innings was 50. After the 51st innings his average was 51 how many runs he made in the 51st innings Ans) first 50 ings.- run= 50*50=2500 51st ings.- avg 51. so total run =51*51=2601. so run scored in that ings=2601-2500=101 runs. 64) Anand finishes a work in 7 days, Bittu finishes the same job in 8 days and Chandu in 6 days. They take turns to finish the work. Anand on the first day, Bittu on the second and Chandu on the third day and then Anand again and so on. On which day will the work get over? a) 3rd b) 6th c) 9th d) 7th Ans is d) 7th day Sol) In d 1st day Anand does 1/7th of total work similarly, Bithu does 1/8th work in d 2nd day hence at d end of 3 days, work done = 1/7+1/8+1/6=73/168 remaining work = (168-73)/168 = 95/168 again after 6 days of work, remaining work is = (95-73)/168 = 22/168 and hence Anand completes the work on 7th day.(hope u understood.) 65) A man, a women and a child can do a piece of work in 6 days,man can do it in 14 days, women can do it 16 days, and in how many days child can do the same work? The child does it in 24 days 66) A: 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1
B: 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 C: 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 Find ( (A-B) u C )==? Hint : 109 A-B is {A} - {A n B} A: 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 B: 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 by binary sub. a-b = 01100001 (1-0=1, 1-1=0,0-0=0, n for the 1st 3 digits 110-011=011) now (a-b)uc= 01100001 or 01101101 gives 1101101... convert to decimal equals 10 CRITICAL REASONING this section is very important there are 12 question and u have to solve it in 30 minutes.. for critical reasoning ....go thru the barrons 5 model test paper....just mug up all the answer but beware .....they can change the character names so be careful.............. after clearing my written they called us for interview on 12th march TECHNICAL INTERVIEW after waiting for more than seven hours they called me for the interview .look just be confident and have eye contact with them .......actually in the starting i was very much confident and answered all his question but after some time dont knw wat he asked to me and and my mind was just blocked.....dont knw y......even this is not the end ...when i finished my tech interview and came out of the hall .....i forgot my file there.....[:d].......well after few minutes i called for the H.R.

Test Paper :21 Paper Type Test Date Posted By : Whole Testpaper : 8 March 2008 : Yusuf Khan
Test Location : BBDNITM Lucknow.
TCS PAPER ON 8th MARCH AT LUCKNOW Hi friends, I m YUSUF KHAN (MCA 2006-09)from BBDNITM LKO. I was appeared in TCS recruitment process on 8th march 2008 at BBDNITM lko. There were three rounds- written test (online), TI (technical interview) and HR round. Basically TCS recruitment process starts with the online exam. ROUND 1 Online exam pattern:: It basically consist three sections- VERBAL,QUANT APTITUDE and CRITICAl reasoning.There was no sectional cut off. Tcs has fixed cutoff for whole written test it is not based on the high scorers. So as u complete the test ,the result will be displayed immediately and if u r selected then u r eligible for other rounds.
VERBAl SECTION: :it consists of 10 Antonyms,10 synonyms and abt 10 to 12 ques based on passage reading. SYNONYMS: florid mirage furor choleric infirmity pinnacle voracious slump placate expound ANTONYMS: lugubrious retrospection industry mitigate synergy boorish gamely indigenous fascinate prostrate (Actually these are the words which I got in my test paper, but I would advise not to waste ur time in learning English first coz no one can get more than two or three words, so don‘t worry for that just see all the words from previous papers.) SECTION -2 (APTITUDE) 1) If log 0.317=0.3332 and log 0.318=0.3364 then find log 0.319 ? Sol) log 0.317=0.3332 and log 0.318=0.3364, then log 0.319=log0.318+(log(0.318-0.317)) = 0.3396 2)My flight takes of at 2am from a place at 18N 10E and landed 10 Hrs later at a place with coordinates 36N70W. What is the local time when my plane landed? 6:00 am b) 6:40am c) 7:40 d) 7:00 e) 8:00 Sol) The destination place is 80 degree west to the starting place. Hence the time difference between these two places is 5 hour 20 min. (=24hr*80/360). When the flight landed, the time at the starting place is 12 noon (2 AM + 10 hours). Hence, the time at the destination place is 12 noon - 5:20 hours = 6: 40 AM 3) what's the answer for that : A, B and C are 8 bit no's. They are as follows: A -> 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 B -> 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 C -> 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 ( - =minus, u=union) Find ((A - C) u B) =? To find A-C, We will find 2's compliment of C and them add it with A, That will give us (A-C) 2's compliment of C=1's compliment of C+1 =11000101+1=11000110 A-C=11000101+11000110 =10001001 Now (A-C) U B is .OR. logic operation on (A-C) and B 10001001 .OR . 00110011 The answer is = 10111011, Whose decimal equivalent is 187. 4) In a two-dimensional array, X (9, 7), with each element occupying 4 bytes of memory, with the address of the first element X (1, 1) is 3000, find the address of X (8, 5) Sol) initial x (1,1) = 3000 u hav to find from x(8,1)so u have x(1,1),x(1,2) ... x(7,7) = so u have totally 7 * 7 = 49 elementsu need to find for x(8,5) ? here we have 5 elements each element have 4 bytes : (49 + 5 -1) * 4 = 212 -----( -1 is to deduct the 1 element ) 3000 + 212 = 3212 5)The size of a program is N. And the memory occupied by the program is given by M = square root of 100N. If the size of the program is increased by 1% then how much memory now occupied ?
Sol) M=sqrt(100N) N is increased by 1% therefore new value of N=N + (N/100) =101N/100 M=sqrt(100 * (101N/100) ) Hence, we get M=sqrt(101 * N) 6)In two dimensional array X(7,9) each element occupies 2 bytes of memory.If the address of first element X(1,1)is 1258 then what will be the address of the element X(5,8) ? Sol) Here, the address of first element x[1][1] is 1258 and also 2 byte of memory is given. now, we have to solve the address of element x[5][8], therefore, 1258+ 5*8*2 = 1258+80 = 1338 so the answer is 1338. 7) The temperature at Mumbai is given by the function: -t2/6+4t+12 where t is the elapsed time since midnight. What is the percentage rise (or fall) in temperature between 5.00PM and 8.00PM? 8)If g (0)=g (1)=1 And g (n)= g (n-1) + g (n –2) find g (6); 9)Find the physical quantity represented by MOMENTUM *VELOCITY] / [LENGTH * ACCELERATION]? 10).Which is the largest prime number that can be stored in a 6-bit register? 11) In a two-dimensional array, X (9, 7), with each element occupying 4 bytes of memory, with the address of the first element X (1, 1) is 3000, find the address of X (8, 5). ANS: 3212 12)Select the odd one out a. Oracle b. Linux c. Ingress d. DB2 ANS: LINUX 13)In which of the system, decimal number 194 is equal to 1234? ANS:5 14) Number of faces, vertices and edges of a cube ANS:6,8,12 15) Find the result of the following _expression if, M denotes modulus operation, R denotes round-off, T denotes truncation: M(373,5)+R(3.4)+T(7.7)+R(5.8) ANS:19 16)If TAFJHH is coded as RBEKGI then RBDJK can be coded as --------ANS: PCCKJ 17) Which of the following are orthogonal pairs? a. 3i+2j b. i+j c. 2i-3j d. -7i+j ANS: (A)& (C). 18) What is the power of 2? a. 2068 b.2048 c.2668 ANS: (B). 2048 19)Which of the following set of numbers has the highest Standard deviation? 1,0,1,0,1,0 -1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1 1,1,1,1,1,1 1,1,0,-1,0,-1 20). Match the following: 1. Male - Boy ---> a. A type of 2. Square - Polygon --->
b. A part of 3. Roof - Building ---> c. Not a type of (All questions are repeated so learn the answers of all ques from previous year paper, so plz go through all prev year questions) CRITICAL SECTION:: Actually this is the most important, scoring and deciding section of the test. All the questions are from GRE BARON (strictly 12th edition) so go through all 5 model test paper‘s analytical section (1 to 5) given at last in Baron. No need to waste ur time and money in buying other books for TCS just go through Baron only ,all questions are from this book. ROUND 2: TECHNICAL INTERVIEW:: Be prepared for the technical interview. Mostly its on the same day after one hour.Prepare few of ur subjects very well like C,C++,DS,DBMS(specially queries),OS,COMP Networks,OOPs concepts etc.Hey friends don‘t be afraid, thay wil not ask u anything in depth they just check ur awareness and ask only some basic conceptual questions. They may ask abt ur fav subjects bt still they ask u abt DBMS n other subjects that u hv studied in earlier sem, so don‘t tell them the names of the subjects in which u don‘t hv good command. If u don‘t know anything abt the ques asked by them then don‘t try to make false stories or guesses, just simply deny that u don‘t know, and always try to divert them towards ur fav subjects. They will ask u abt ur project ,if u hv done any, so be prepared for it, it‘s E R diagram, SRS,front end, back end,DFD,and overview of the project etc.Don‘t BE quiet, be talkative nd don‘t get embarrassed if u don‘t know the answer.be confident.i m attaching few most important ques of DBMS,SQL,C,C++ etc for TI , just go through them if u don‘t hv much time, it will be enough.So u people can download it or if u don‘t hv it just ask me on my email(yusufkhan_mca@yahoo.co.in). ROUND 3: HR ROUND:: The key elements for this ROUND according to me are-CCT i.e. be Calm,be Confident(not over confident) and be Talkative. Basically they ask u all those ques that are typically asked in all interviews so be prepared for it ,readymade answers.Normally they check ur confident level, English speaking, and wat efforts u hv done before coming to face HR interview. Just go through the home page of TCS website and collect in formations abt them like:: Who is chairman, CEO, CFO, COO of TCS, BOARD of directors, Company‘s MISSION , VISION and VALUES, Target achieved by company during last few yrs, position of company in IT field etc. Questions for HR (be prepared for atleast these ques) 1. Describe yourself?? 2. ur hobbies(be prepared for this ques coz they will ask u much abt that ,if u say singing be prepare for a song,if u say joking be prepared to tell them a joke etc.) 3. Why u want to join TCS?? 4. Where would u think urself after five years in TCS? 5. Why should I hire u?? 6. they may ask u something abt tcs?its statistics, CEo,CFO etc. 7. whats ur fav time pass?? 8. ur strength ,ur weakness (don‘t tel them any grt weaknes of urs like if u hv less communication skills, etc) 9. Do u have any role model?? Describe his/her achievements? 10. Finally they will ask u do u want to ask something from them? So if u hv some genuine ques to ask u may ask. Statistics:: Overall 580 students appeared for written test. Qualified for round 2::360 Qualified for round 3::195 Finally selected:90 students B-Tech 86 from all branches and MCA‘s only four (coz only 17 appeared for written) Finally result was announced on 11th march 08 at 12:30 a.m. and I was selected.
So all the best n meet u in TCS. YUSUF KHAN

I am Abhishek Naskar from ECE department of Mallabhum Institute of Technology, Bishnupur, going to share my journey through the selection procedure of the no. 1 IT industry in Asia—TCS……….. Firstly you must know that the aptitude test of TCS, believe me, is very easy. But you should follow the correct procedure. It was an online aptitude test in my college. Please don‘t be afraid.
Aptitude Test [21st February] :
1. Verbal: [32 Questions, 20 Mins]
There are three sections of aptitude test. Each question has 5 options. You have to tick the correct one. But there are no sectional cutoff and negative marking.………………
It consists of 10 synonyms, 10 antonyms and 2 lengthy paragraphs. Go through the wordlist of GRE BARRON‘S. There are 333 high frequency words and 750 words in reviewing vocabulary wordlist. It is very difficult to remember all those words but try to remember in such a way so that you can recall after seeing the given options. 2. Quantitative: [38 Questions, 40 Mins] It is very easy part. The problems are about ages, time & dist., time & work, numbers, average, temperature, data interpretation ( R.S.Agarwal ), ratio, probability etc. You can find various set of quantitative test papers in freshersworld‘s website. 3. Critical Reasoning: [12 Questions, 30Mins] Apparently you can realize that it is very touch section. But the problems in this section come from the Logical Reasoning chapter of GRE BARRON‘S 12th edition. You must solve also the logical reasoning parts from 5 test papers in that book. Practice this reasoning part in such a way you can solve the problem just after seeing it. There are 3 passages each of which contains 4 questions. Sometimes you can see that the passages are common. There were 5/6 questions in the book. But you are given only 4 questions. Be careful when answering…………………. The most frequently logical reasoning questions are 1. Baseball players( G,H,J,K,L,M,N,O), 2. Wallachia & Rumelia, 3. Byram and Adoniram, 4. Ashland, 5. Mr. Pesth, 6. On Sunday December 23 four ships....., 7. Airdale, Boxer, Collie, Doberman, 8.

Naw let me tell you important things to be prepared for accenture: It has 4 rounds: 1) APTITUDE TEST ALONG WITH THAT ESSAY WRITING. 2) GROUP DISCUSSION. 3) TECHNICAL / HR INTERVIEW. 4) HR / TECHNICAL INTERVEW. 1)APTITUDE TEST: Questions = 55 ; time limit = 60 minutes...along with that an essay to write in the same sheet in another 10 minutes... No sectional cut off , no negative marking.. questions were easy..all u need to do is planning which questions to attempt first and which one to attempt at last...and yeah 1 more thing ..you have to be very fast and u can achieve dat only through regular practice..all u have to do is to solve few chapters from R.S.AGGARWAL ( verbal & Non-verbal as well as quantitaive)..i will suggest you some chapters ...you jus do those chapters properly and it will be more than sufficient for you...
The Aptitude test paper is divided into 3 sections: 1st section :consist of 20 questions which is completely based on english... Questions 1 - 10 : These are very easy..its completly based on prepositions and fill in the blanks with correct articles...if u have a gud command in english then do it in the begining else do it some time later on after solving some easier questions which will mention later on... Questions 11 - 20 : questions 11 - 15 contains one comprehension followed by another comprehension from ques 16 - 20... I will suggest you all to do the comprehensions at last.. and attempt the first comprehension before than the second one...coz according to my experience first comprehensions are always easier than the second one... TIPS : DO THE COMPREHENSIONS AT LAST AND ALWAYS READ THE QUESTIONS FIRST AND THEN LOOK FOR THE ANSWERS IN THE PASSAGE...NEVER WASTE YOUR TIME IN READING THE WHOLE PASSAGE.. 2nd section : consists of 20 questions which is based on quantitative as well as verbal and non-verbal... It contains questions from data sufficiency,venn diagram,time and work,percentage,time and distance,directions,blood relations,and the most important topic LOGIC (syllogism) which is the first chapter of the second part of R.S.AGGARWAL (verbal & non-verbal)...prepare these chapters very nicely... 3rd section : consists of 15 questions which is v.v.v.easy, only a difficult portion can be of puzzle types.. questions are like : Q.41- Q.45 Mark the answers according to the following: A- If all the three options match B- If FIRST and SECOND options match C- If FIRST and THIRD options match D- If none of the three match Example: KKTUJNGDFTSR Ans: C Another example: 1896.5738491023 Ans: D
KKTUJHGDFTSR
KKTUJNGDFTSR
1896.5783491023
1896.5738461023
Q.46-Q.49 were based on the Puzzle-type question. It said: Following was the criteria decided by the selection committee of Indian Cricket Board: 1) Player's age should be 18-28 years 2) He must be the captain of any cricket team for at least 2 years 3) He must be a Ranji Player for at least 2 years 4) He must have taken at least 20 wickets or made 1000 runs in a calendar year in Ranji If 1st condition is not fulfilled .. referred to chairman If 2nd condition is not fulfilled .. he must be an all rounder with at least 500 runs and 15 wickets If 4th condition is not fulfilled .. referred to VP Questions were like following example: Rahul was born on Dec.10,1979 and is a captain of Ranji team since Feb 2005. He won man of the tournament last year for taking 24 wickets last year. He is: a) Selected b) Rejected c) Referred to Chairman d)Data Insufficient Ans: a (These questions are also easy if you draw a table with names of the aspirant in rows and criteria in the columns, and then checking whether he/she fulfils it or not) Q.50- Q.55 were also a bit easy and were of two types: Example of type 1: If * means +, + means -, - means / and / means *, then what is the value of8+4-9*7/12+3 Example of type 2:
If * means /, / means -, - means + and + means *, then which of the following is true: a) 7+43*2/13-7+8 = 22.6 b) 4-9*7/4*2/3-7+2 = 25 .. .. (The type 1 are easier and less time consuming and type 2 are more time consuming but still can be solved. 3 of the questions were of type1 and other 3 of type two).. NOTE: Friends i will suggest you all to start with this section...first do the question 41 - 45 and then do the questions from 50 - 52...and then do whatever u like....coz these questions are v.v.v.v.easy..and so u will gain lots of confidence after solving these 8 questions..if u can then solve the ques 53 - 55 also else leave it for later on as it is very much time consuming... IMPORTANT CHAPTERS TO BE DONE FOR THE APTITUDE TEST: FOR ACCENTURE EMPHASIZE MORE ON VERBAL & VON-VERBAL RATHER THAN QUANTITAVE... VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL : 1) LOGIC (syllogism). 2) DATA SUFFICIENCY. 3) LOGIACL VENN DIAGRAM. 4) DIRECTION SENSE TEST. 5) BLOOD RELATIONS. 6) PUZZLE TEST. QUANTITATIVE : 1) TIME AND WORK. 2) TIME AND DISTANCE. 3) RATIO AND PROPORTION. 4) PERCENTAGE. 5) PROBLEMS ON TRAINS. 6) BOATS AND STREAMS. 7) PIPES AND CISTERNS. 8) PROFIT AND LOSS. Do only these chapters which i have mentioned ....its more than sufficient...and yaeh once again emphasize more on verbal and non-verbal rather than quantitative...coz 70% are from verb&non-verb and 30% are from quanti....in comparision to these two... After the completion of 60 minutes we were asked to write an essay in 10 minutes time and word limit was atleast 100 words and the topic was "US recession and its impact in the IT industry"....dont bother about the essay much, just make it sure that u have to fill that page with correct grammatical statements...it does not play an role in clearing ur aptitude...it is checked by the HR usually during ur HR interview and it may happen that no one bother to check it also... 2) GROUP DISCUSSION : The topic which was given to us was "liberalisation"... time limit was 10 minutes...12 students were there in a group, a topic was thrown and you all have to share your views regarding that given topic...they selected only 5 students from each group of 12...so you can see that you have to give ur best effort and you wont get much chance to speak also coz it so happens sometimes that they make the GD go by person to person clockwise.. TIPS : Initially they may ask you to introduce urself...and u have to hit in this very moment only ..ur introduction shud be very strong...then u will 2 - 3 chances to speak on the topic.....friends u have to be louder and clear during your GD...with full of passions... 3) HR INTERVIEW : Questions were like: Tell me sumthing about yourself which is not there in the CV...then what do u do in your leisure time...then how can you prove that you have managerial skills...and then few questions were asked which was related to my answers...i m not writng all those things coz answers vary from person to person...all i wanna say is dat u need to be very much confident during your interview,there should be smile on your face,eyes contact with the HR is a must...
4) TECHNICAL INTERVIEW : First of all HR asked me to introduce myself...then he asked me what do u do in your leisure time..then he asked me what are your favourite subjects...then he gave me a program and asked me 2 answer hm whether this program will run or not...then he told me dat i m giving u 16 seconds..u have to sell urself...then he gav me some situation reaction test which i answered wonderfully... In situation reaction test they just want to see how good you are as a leader as well as a team member and how hard working , determined and confident you are... FINALLY, I WANT TO TELL U THE STATISTICS....899 STUDENTS APPEARED.....266 CLEARED THE APTITUDE...115 CLEARED THE GD....AND AT LAST ONLY 41 WERE SHORTLISTED AFTER THE TECHNICAL AND HR INTERVIEW....AND I M REALLY GLAD TO SAY THAT I AM AMONG ONE OF THEM...................FRIENDS!!!! ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY REGARDING THE PLACEMENT OF ACCENTURE....... THAT " YOU HAVE TO BE CONSISTENTLY CONSISTENT ".......WISH U AL DA VERY BEST AND HOPE TO SEE YOU AT ACCENTURE...

US TECHNOLOGY PAPER ON 29th OCTOBER AT JODHPUR Hiiiii, All D Best 2 u all for ur campus. As I faced d selection procedure for US Technology Resources, i m going to describe it here for ur convenience. Mind It Tht this is NOT A BPO or CALL CENTER. Its purely technical company having a BPO section. Our interview was for software development. Day 1: The very first activity by the company was PPT. The smart company persons presented their company. Each and every candidate was allowed to attend it. After PPT, there was a written test for 90 Mins. having 82 questions. Out of these 82 ques., 32 were of general aptitude, mathematics. For these questions, R S Agarwal is sufficient. Another 50 questions were of Verbal ability, in which 4 looooooong pasages were given and questions related to them were asked. Mind it tht these passages were not jst simple passages, these were to check ur thinking ability and ur direction of taking the problem. But no doubt passages were too long even 1 passage was long as 2 A-4 sized papers. the test held apprx. 1-2 pm. About 5-6 pm, the result was declared and apprx. 45% candidates got selected. the next round was Group Discussion. this also held the same day. the topic for GD which we attended was ---Should Political parties be there in colleges or not?---
The mentor was totally devoted to checking the verbal ability of the candidate and no doubt leadership characteristic too. A gud command on english and u can clear the GD if u r not having strong opposition. Well, I cleared GD too. Now the next step was the interview. I can't say it as purely HR or Technical Interview. Day 2: The next day was sunday, bt company persons were there before the candidates. The interview was goin to be held 2day. My Interview: This was d most interesting interview I faced. I went to the interview room, which was having a glass door. Through d glass of door, I saw in the eyes of interviewer with a pleasent smile. He also smiled in reply and here I got a half job. Since we have made the environment very easy, I was not so much nervous. I asked him to come in and entered the room. May be a 7 yard distance was der frm door to his table.

Me:-Yes, Sir. I m always funny in my task but I always understand my responsibilities nd no doubt i m always dedicated to my work. But i never take tension b'coz tension ruines our future, tension affects our result. If we keep smiling always then we and our colleagues both can work easily. He:- Fine, tell me some thing about ur frnd circle.

Test Paper :35 Paper Type Test Date Posted By : Candidates Experiences : 1 January 2006 : Jairam Ramesh
US TECHNOLOGY PAPER ON 2006 US tech guys were like lookin for people with excellent communication skills is what i could access. They had seperate cut off’s for verbal and logical and all those who were above the cutt off were send for GD. GD topics were like 1.Fashion and Cinematic Dance, should they be banned incollege campus 2. Mobile phone usage 3. influence on Television 4. kerala culture After GD, we were send for interview. For all those who had 75% it was HR and for the rest it was Tech. Interview ——— They asked about Linked List reversal using just two pointer Then they asked what kind of a loop was for(i=1;i>0;i++) Then they asked wether i was signed or unsigned how to represent signed numbers They asked about packed and unpacked numbers To some people they asked puzzles like three rooms with three lights, some kinda question like that Then asked me difference between C,C++ 2 or three questions on pointers To some they asked question on probability, like chance of getting a red ball from a bag containing 3 white, 2 red and 1 green balls, tossing coin problem and all Then they ask you what all programming languages you know and sometimes ask on you question 1 or 2 basic questions from that language. you can also say wether u r interested in networking or anything of such sort. I said C# and they asked some difference between C# and java, the garbage collector feature, stuff like that. So be careful with what you say ―You Know‖.
They dont look at the resume at all……………………. In the interview we have to be the people who take the initiative to talk. Make the converstion go smoothly. Finally they ask you what you want to know about their company an that’s it GD —– I am not sure on how they criterize for GD, because people who i expected didnt make it through GD, i think you need to have luck in addition to a good tounge to get through US Tech GD Aptitude Test ————– It is of 2 sections. It is pretty easy. They ask you question like there are 5 house, 1 green, 1 red, 1 blue, 1 yellow and 1 white, Sam is a dentist.Ram lives net to blue house.Hari dosent like to see the white house. Engineer lives in Green House and some more sentences and we have to write who is in which house and what their occupation is. Then they ask you questions like a train is heading from one station to another and another train from another station to here what time to they meet and all. They got a pretty easy verbal section. Almost most of you all can have a cake walk at aptitude. Best Of Luck... Jairam Ramesh. Test Paper :3 Paper Type Test Date Posted By : Whole Testpaper : 8 July 2007 : manikandan

INFOSYS PAPER ON 13th FEBRUARY 2008 Hi, I'm Bharath N, studying in VEC, Bellary, Karnataka. Infosys was my 1st company,i cleared 1st round . Ive posted the pattern of Infosys paper that v had. But not the exact qns.. I've mentioned only the Type of qns.. ok.. Ive posted my experience.. Hope it wud guide u guys.. THERE ARE TWO ROUNDS FOR SELECTION :1) APTITUDE TEST 2) H R INTERVIEW APTITUDE TEST CONSISTS OF TWO PAPERS:(i)ARITHMETIC ANG LOGICAL REASONING. (ii)ENGLISH COMPREHENSION TEST (English grammar + passages). ARITHMETIC ANG LOGICAL REASONING PAPER: Questions : 30 Time : 40 minutes ALL QUESTIONS CARRY ―ONE‖ MARK [i]Three persons A,B,C have Rs.165,Rs.180,Rs.150. The person having the highest amount gives 1/5th of his amount to two other persons equally. The game ends when each one has contributed. 1> What was the amount left with C at the end of game? 2> What was the amount left with B at the end of game? 3> What was the amount left with A at the end of game? 4> What was the amount left with A after his contribution(i.e after 2nd step)? 5> In how many steps the game ends? [ii] (VISUAL REASONING) 5 figures were given and we are asked to pick the ODD MAN out 5 Questions on this. [iii](LOGICAL REASONING) READ THE QUESTIONS BELOW AND PICK THE RIGHT OPTION 1 – if conclusion can be made by using either of the two statements. OPTION 2 – if conclusion can be made by using only one statement. OPTION 3 – if conclusion can be made by only by using both the statements. OPTION 4 – if conclusion can NOT be made by using both the statements 5 Questions on this. Example : Total number of students in a class is 120.find the number of girls in the class? a)The number of boys in a class is 90. b) The number of girls is about 25%. Answer is OPTION 1 because using anyone statement you can solve the given question. iv](Data Interpretation): For us A BAR Graph Was Given… But here r some other possibilities.. ie Tabular problems too.. [v] Jumbled Up Problems..[5 qns] [vi](Syllogism) 5 Questions on these. Example: 1.SOME BIRDS ARE STONES.SOME TIGERS ARE BIRDS.ALL STONES ARE GRAPES. Similarly 4
qns wer given and asked that Which of the following is More Logically correct..They have not given Conclusions.. only Statements. I felt that the reasoning paper was easy but the English paper was bit on the tougher side. Anwer sheet consists of one page like the OMR sheet , you just need to circle the correct option number and write that number in the space provided…..with blue/black ball point pen. (ii)ENGLISH COMPREHENSION TEST (English grammar + passages). Questions : 40 Time : 30 minutes 1-5> Reading comprehension (easy but solve at last only, if you solve it first, you will end-up guessing for many questions, very very lengthy) 6-10> Reading comprehension (it was too easy, try to read it fast while solving) 11-18> fill in the blanks with suitable sentences!! (easy ones according to grammar) 19-26>choose the one among 4 suitable phrases(sentences similar to the underlined part)for the underlined part of the given sentences. (sentence improvement……Be careful sometimes no improvement is required choose the same phrase) 27-34> choose correct sentence from four given sentences (easy ones but be careful, there is only a slight difference and you have to select which is more grammatically correct) 35-40> you have to choose which Course of Action suits best for the above given paragraph. (Mainly this specifies your managerial abilities.) Time management is very important, many of my friends were not able to solve all questions and even read it. Be careful for English part because most of the candidates get rejected here only... Time management is must!!! Solve passages at last... I did 30 questions in 15mins & hence got 15 mins to solve the reading comprehensions which I did at last!! so plan the paper accordingly!! After the test results were announced in 2 hours, I was very glad to note that i was selected.. As There was sectional cut-off wich is around 60% for reasoning & 50 % for english, very less students got selected……(about 36 out of nearly 400 students) I have not written much about HR interview because I felt that it was quite easy if you good communication skill .The first 10 seconds is very important as they see how your body language is So Be Confident . After written test results, with no time delay HR interviews started. A panel of 4 HR`s came who were taking interview in 4 different rooms. All they check for,in HR, is your communication skills and confidence.. They want persons with excellent communication skills.. No technical questions will be asked.. And one more thing once you have cleared the written test, almost 90% of your selection is confirmed. But Rejections at HR was very much more(in our case out of 36 only 15 got rejected). So focus well on written part & Communication skills because its the biggest barrier & once you cross it, you are almost through!!! So friends cracking infosys paper is not a difficult task.. All you need is little smart-work, good communication skills & confidence as well as conviction in yourself ………. My best wishes to all!!!My badluck is I cleared 1st round, but got rejected in HR Test Paper :56 Paper Type Test Date Posted By : Whole Testpaper : 7 February 2008 : Amit Kumar Singh

INFOSYS PAPER ON 5th JANUARY 2008 Hi, friends this is Amit Kumar Singh a student of (ECE) F.E.T, G.K.V., Haridwar and now also an Infosyian. I got selected for Infosys through the Pool placement done by it, at COER, Roorkee on 5th and 6th of January. Here I am mentioning about my experience during the whole placement process. On the first day, first of all they gave the presentation which was really very great and very well presented. After that the aptitude test was held which started something around 12:40pm and was of 1hr 15min duration consisting of two undermentioned parts.
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 on direction in which a person was moving in different directions and we had to answer few quetions related to that. 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 puzzle type in which 5 peoples A,B,C,D,E lived in 5 consicutive flats and each having vechicles which they parked in garage below their flats. Few conditions were given like no one parks his vehicle just below it and so. We had to answer questions related to it like who parks below E and so on. 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 questions are generally easy and related to basic grammar, just once go through prepositions, tenses, verbs, adjective and subject-verb relationship from any grammar book, Wren & Martin preffered. Also go through few theme detection and passage comprehension type questions given in Barron's GRE or any other MBA preparation material. But its all easy not much preparation is required.) The results of Aptitude was declared at around 5:30pm in which 340 students were selected from around 1200 students of different colleges. From our college 34 were selected among 120 students. I was one among the selected students for HR. We were told to come on following day for our HR interview at 8:00am.) HR Interview We were initially made to sit in a room from where we were directly taken before HR for interview around 11:30am. Inspite of preparing a lot I was feeling a lack of preparation before entering for interview but in the end everything went well for me. Here I am describing my enconter with HR. HR - Amit Kumar Singh. I - May I come in sir. HR - Yes come in. (He stood up and shaked hand with me) I - Good afternoon sir. HR - Good afternoon, Okay! Amit give me a copy of your resume. (I gave a copy of resume.He took my signature at few places and then gone through my resume.) HR - Okay! Amit you have mentioned about a project on BUS ARBITER WITH MEMORY(which is my project) in your resume. I - Yes sir. HR - Explain about the project along with your contribution in the project and the result of it. I - Introduction.....................Actually sir, in today's world there is growing demand of fast processing for which multiprocessors are used. And for power saving a single memory is used utilising single memory.........................................................few technical details...................................it is having 2 components bus arbiter and SRAM..........................................my contributionin in project development........................................Our instructor gave the initial idea about Bus Arbiter. We then collected information about it from internet and refrence books........................... HR - Why are you mentioning WE ? Who are WE here ? I - Actually Sir I did the project in group of two.
HR - Okay! then what was your contribution in project development and who was leader among you two? I - I gathered initial idea of project from all possible sources. Then I designed the components with the help my instructor. I also encorporated a change by interfacing SRAM with Bus Arbiter..............................................We both did project in group and both of us contributed equally for it. HR - But there has to be a director, a leader of group, who was he in your group? I - I did most of works but my partner supported actively and very well to me. HR - So, you did most of the work . I - Yes sir HR - Okay! how did you kept yourself updated during the project? I - I used internet and refrence books suggested by our instructor.(just tell name of any book) HR - Whether the books were textbooks? I - Actually sir, I have attended VLSI traning programme through VHDL programming. So, there were no textbooks or so. HR - Suppose you are struck in any problem and you are not getting out of it. Then what will be your approach to solve the problem, tell me the steps you will try to solve the problem? I - I will first of all analyse the problem the problem on my personal level. Actually sir I am in a habbit of analysing and thinking about all my day to day activities before going to bed. If then also I did not find the solution to my problem I will consult to some other person who will be having more knowledge regarding the problem and try to solve the problem. If then also I did not find the solution, then i will leave the problem (HR interrupted) HR - What you will leave the problem in between? I - No, sir actually I will not leave the problem completely but not let it affect my other works. I will keep doing my other works and try solving the problem side by side. And I am vey much sure that one day I will find the solution to the problem. HR - Okay! do you have any question to ask? I - I have heard that you provides the best training in India, Is there any prerequisite knowledge you expect your emplooyes to have before training? HR - (Explained) Any more questions to ask? I - No sir. HR - Thank you! Now you can leave. I - Thank you! sir. (He again stood to shake hand with me. Then I left the room.) After interview we were made to sit in a room for around 1hr 30min where the tension was creeping inside everyone's mind. Finally we got our results announced by chief HR at around 1:30pm and my name was announced too along with 17 other students of my college. My friends, I want to suggest you all that the major factors deciding your selection are your confidence and your communication skills. And clearing aptitude makes 60% of your selection which is increased considearbly by having good communication skills. So, friends just try to clear your aptitude test by any means (especially friends cooperation), but remember hard work is must and try to improve your communication skills. I am very much sure that you will make it upto Infosys and even if you don't make it upto Infosys, remember one thing that its only India's number one not the world's number one. Bye!!!!!!!!
