Read the following passage and answer questions 11 - 15.
Charlotte Stanhope was at this time about thirty-five-years old; and, whatever may have
been her faults, she had none of those which belong to old young ladies. She neither
dressed young, nor talked young, nor indeed looked young. She appeared to be perfectly
content with her time of life, and in no way affected the graces of youth. She was a fine
young woman; and had she been a man, would have been a fine young man. All that was
done in the house, and (5) was not done by servants, was done by her. She gave the
orders, paid the bills, hired and dismissed the domestics, made the tea, carved the meat,
and managed everything in the Stanhope household. She, and she alone, could ever
induce her father to look into the state of his wordly concerns. She, and she alone, could
in any degree control the absurdities of her sister. She, and she alone, prevented the
whole family from falling into utter disrepute and beggary. (10) It was by her advice that
they now found themselves very unpleasantly situated in Barchester.
So far, the character of Charlotte Stanhope is not unprepossessing. But it remains to be
said, that the influence which she had in her family, though it had been used to a certain
extent for their wordly well-being, had not been used to their real benefit, as it might have
been. She had aided her father in his indifference to his professional duties, counselling
him that his livings were as much his individual property as the estates of his elder
brother were the property of that worthy peer. She had for years past (15) stifled every
little rising wish for a return to England which the reverend doctor had from time to time
expressed. She had encouraged her mother in her idleness in order that she herself might
be mistress and manager of the Stanhope household. She had encouraged and fostered the
follies of her sister, though she was always willing, and often able, to protect her from
their probable result. She had done her best, and had thoroughly succeeded in spoiling her
brother, and turning him loose upon the world an idle (20) man without a profession, and
without a shilling that he could call his own. Miss Stanhope was a clever woman, able to
talk on most subjects, and quite indifferent as to what the subject was. She prided herself
on her freedom from English prejudice, and she might have added, from feminine
delicacy. On religion she was a pure freethinker, and with much want of true affection,
delighted to throw out her own views before the troubled mind of her father. To have
shaken what remained of his Church of England faith would (25) have gratified her
much; but the idea of his abandoning his preferment in the church had never once
presented itself to her mind. How could he indeed, when he had no income from any
other source?
11. The passage as a whole is best characterized as
(A) a description of the members of a family
(B) a portrait of a young woman,s moral and intellectual character
(C) an illustration of the evils of egotism (D) an analysis of family dynamics in
aristocratic society
(E) a contrast between a virtuous daughter and her disreputable family
12. The tone of the passage is best described as
(A) self-righteous and moralistic (B) satirical and candid (C) sympathetic and sentimental
(D) bitter and disillusioned (E) indifferent and unfeeling
13. On the basis of the passage, which of the following statements about Dr. Stanhope
can most logically be made?
(A) He is even more indolent than his wife.
(B) He resents having surrendered his authority to his daughter.
(C) He feels remorse for his professional misconduct.
(D) He has little left of his initial religious beliefs.
(E) He has disinherited his son without a shilling.
14. It can be inferred from the passage that Charlotte,s mother (lines 15 - 20) is which of
the following?
I. An affectionate wife and mother. II. A model of the domestic arts. III. A woman of
unassertive character.
(A) I only (B) II only (C) III only (D) I and III only (E) II and III only

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow it.
We,re ,animal people, who enjoy the company of all kinds of creatures. Consider this
typical chain of events, leading to total confusion, which began one afternoon. My
daughter telephoned me at work with the news that she had found a wonderful pine
snake.
,Can we keep him?, she cried. I said ,Yes, but only overnight., We had set up a special
tank for just such passers-through, overnight being long enough to admire and look them
up in our well-used natural history book.
I was late getting home. I hurriedly put a pot on to boil just as screams of ,Oh, Mother!
Help! Do something!, came from my sons, bedroom. I leapt to it.
The crisis involved Domino the cat and Bianca the white mouse given to me as a
Mother,s Day present. (I,ve heard that some mothers get perfume). Domino, with mouse
feet waving from his jaws, ran round and round the bedroom that was crowded with
furniture and children.
Looking for a way out so he could enjoy his catch, Domino had so far avoided the forest
of waving arms. I threw myself into the confusion and promptly tripped over something
or someone to find myself on the floor.
As I thought about dropping my full weight on Domino when he next came past, my eyes
locked on the snake. It had escaped - or, more correctly, was escaping. It was pouring
itself up and out and off the table and all over the floor. I crouched like a rabbit at the
approach of its bullish head, and long powerful body.
The snake and I were now both being jumped over by cat/mouse/kids in a screaming,
leaping, hissing mass - the snake striking at every moment, the dog barking wildly.
The pot boiled over in the kitchen and I raced to shut off the gas, returning to the battle
with new strength. This time I successfully captured Domino by the tail, and pulled the
small, damp and miraculously uninjured mouse from his growling jaws. Incidentally, the
same mouse was caught by the same cat three more times during its lifetime, but
eventually died of old age.
Encouraged by my success with the cat, I looked the snake over for weak points. It didn,t
have any. In the end, I sat on the floor like a snake-charmer, rocking backwards and
forwards, but without a flute. Gradually, the snake relaxed enough to drop its head on to
its piled-up body, but its eyes still shone with suspicion. I eventually ever-so-slowly
eased my hands beneath the piled-up snake and gradually raised myself to a kneeling
position, then I stood up and walked to the very end of the garden where I gave the snake
the choice of living happily ever after on the garden shed by pointing it in the direction of
a handy tree.
But when I finally gathered enough courage to release the snake,s head - fully expecting
it to swing instantly around to crush my face in its powerful jaws - it slid away from the
tree and up over my shoulders where, like a colourful leathery shawl, it gave every sign
of making itself comfortable for the winter.
We stood in the gathering dusk, four young children, Mum and the snake. DJ, my eldest,
broke the heavy silence with a scientific explanation: ,You know what it is, Mum? You,re
nice and fat and warm, and the shed isn,t., I had the children gather at the snake,s tail end
and gently encourage it to move on. Slowly and unwillingly it did so. Without a
backward glance, the snake travelled smoothly up the wall to disappear over the now
night-shadowed roof.
As the last tiny bit of tail disappeared from our property, three-year-old Clay sighed and
said it for all of us: ,Boy, that was one big snake!,

probably the easiest section as it is considered the toughest for INFY.
There are 3 sections- math, logical reasoning, English
English was a quiet easy. Maths & logic were slightly time taking. Just study the
following books by R.S. Agarwal- quantitative aptitude, verbal&non-verbal reasoning.
And if u have any material for the reasoning section.then go thru it.specially D.I and D.S.
I do remember some topics though- permutation&combination,probability,series(maths,
verbal,non verbal), time &distance, time & work, venn diagrams..... syllogism very
important
PPT
They 1st gave a presentation.It was so impressive that I cant explain. Very interactive
session.There is a Q&A round also.they allow u to ask questions what ever u want to ask
about INFY
After the ppt, they started the apti.the result was declared in after 1 and a half hour.i was

my college to design a robot and my paper that I am still working CONTROL OF

Infosys Candidate Experience - July 1st 2008 Avanthi Engg College Vizag
by Sunil
Hi frnds,
im sunil kumar ~> final year student of Avanthi Engg College Vizag, belonging to
computers science branch.
we had infosys drive on july 1st, in our college around 1108 members atttended the
written exam in which 110 are short listed for the interview...finally 56 (21 girls+35
boys) have been selcted...qualification is 63 in 10th,inter and B.Tech..for those got
selcted in INFOSYS they should maintain there percentages in final year as 68% and no
backlogs., im one among them who got selected .This is my third campus drive after
Satyam,Sonata then finally placed in Infosys....
coming to the test pattern...they are totally 2 rounds of selection process...
1.written test (apptitude 30 ques 40 min + verbal 40 ques 30 min)
2.Interview( non technical ).
most imp thing i want to tell u is before u start ur written test everyoine will be given a
INFOSYS form..which contains details like percentages and family background details,
which a student need to fill..everyone thinks these are normal..but in this one shouls
specify total marks he scored out of entire marks in each year like in 10th,inter,and
graduation. NEVER cheat here because almost 10 members are been back listed based on
the wrong information given,in these fields..when their certificates re been verified by the
HR himself..HR is checking the xerox of ur certificates, so certificate Xeroxes are must..
coming to the apptitude test..
they are 5 topics one should be strong enough...
1.Data Sufficiency. (easy refer to R.S.Agarwal verbal & non verbal)
2.Data Interpretation. (Very Easy refer R.S.Agarwal quantative apptitude)
3.Syllogisms. (little time taking follow all the 9 rules in R.S.Agarwal verbal & non verbal
->topic Logic)
4.Figures(series). (very easy R.S.Agarwal verbal & non verbal)
5.Questions based on the puzzle. (very hard, practice the problems from the R.S.Agarwal
verbal & non verbal ).
frnds apptitude test is the easiest of all ....one shold know the time maintainence and
tactic to choose anwsering the easiest one...i suggest u to first go on with the data
sufficiency ..then followed by the data interpretation..next the remaining but last to be
toched is the puzzle..because tis a very hard one and time taking and one should note that
that puzzle is not from shakuntla devi puzzles,they are basic puzzles from R.S.Agarwal..
in data sufficiency they have given basic problems from R.S.Agarwal..they were quiet
easy like finding angle, finding the greatest number ,etc..in data interpretation a table is
given with missing items and we need to find the missing items..frnds this was easiest
question in the whole paper...syllogisms first 4 were easy but the last 2 were little tough
but overall good..the best one to practice is R.S.Agarawal ..and figures everyone can find
it out but little time taking. ing to Puzzle i blindly kept the options and later found that
my anwsers were all wrong..
i found that my score was 23out of 30 in quant so guys dont mind if u fing ur answers
wrong still u can make it..
coming to verbal..this was the hardest compared to the quant and the elimination paper
for almost everyone..i found that every one made an average score or 20 out of 40 mine is
26,but one who can manage basic english can make it good going..i prefer frnds to just go
through "High School English Grammar by Wren & Martyn" becasue i have opened this
text just on the day of my campus drive ..i have seen correction of sentences and correct
usage of articles and adjectives in that book..i took verbal paper very lite during
preparation, so i just gone through it at last minute..but it helped me a lot..one who can
have the knowledge of finding the rite sentence can get through this...because 75% of the
paper is of correction of the sentences and followed by usage of correct words in

rushed to the HR intervies which was organized into 6 panels....boys and girls are
separated..girls had the interview first they were alll finished in just 2 hrs..i.e, is 35 girls
were finished interviwing and their results were released in just 30 mints..out of 35 ,21

RECRUITMENT
There are generally 2 phases (1) Written round (2) H.R.
The Written test consists of 2 sections.
1) Logical Reasoning (30 qs in 40 min)
2) Verbal Ability(40 quest in 35 min)
Logical section consists of 6 subsections of 5 questions each.
Q1-5) (Puzzel test) the avg of 11 prime no,s less than 45 is also a prime no..
Then
i. Find the avg?
ii. Which is the min prime no?
iii.Which is the second min no?
iv.Which is the max no?
v. How many no r der greater than 20?
Q6-10 there were problems on figure where 2 figs implies each other & the 3rd fig is
given & u need to find the fig which implies it (Do mirror img and water img chapters
from R.S. Aggarwal verbal & non verbal)
Q11-15) 5 prob based on data sufficiency. This consists of a question followed by two
statements containing facts providing clues to solve that quest. We r suppose to find out

are author, biologist, chemist and doctor, but not necessarily in that order. Dave just told
the biologist that Cathy was on her way with doughnuts. Ann is sitting across from the
doctor and next to the chemist. The doctor was thinking that Boobie was a goofy name
for parent,s to choose,but didn,t say anything. What is each person,s occupation?
Ans: Since Dave spoke to the biologist and Ann sat next to the chemist and across the
doctor, Cathy must be the author and Ann the biologist. The doctor didn,t speak, but
David did, so Bobbie is the doctor and Dave the chemist.
(Now u must have identified all facts) just ans qs asked

Infosys - Sumit Acharya Candidate Experience and Placement Paper Infy on 2nd June ,08
Hi All,
I got thru to Infy on 2nd June ,08 at a campus recruitment program in my college
SASTRA,
Thanjavur(TN)..
They have 2 rounds -- Logical and Verbal written exam (75 min)
-- HR Interview
The pre-placement talk of theirs was very interesting. I think all should attend that.
They told us during this that they don,t care about our technical knowledge, as once we
become an Infoscion, it,s their headache to put in the techincal stuffs into our heads.
They just want the candidates to have a strong hold on English and in logical thinking.
Logical paper had 30 questions and was for 40mins... The questions were
-- 5 simple pictorial series completion
-- 2 simple straightforward Data Interpretation
-- Simple puzzles like "3friends- one doc, one teacher, one engineer. 3 wives-sita,
gita,rita.Simple clues would be given.easily one can draw a table and then answer 5
simple questions
-- Data sufficiency, again quite easy
-- Logical Deductions
Verbal paper had 30 questions and was for 30mins...
-- 2 huge comprehensions with 5 questions... I left it for the end.. but the questions were
very straightforward. Though it,s a wrong practice, i was able to get the right answers
by just looking for the root words of the questions in the paragraph.
-- Sentnce Correction was little tough. 5 sentnces were given. the errors were in
to/in/for/had been etc but the sentnces were very long. So in order to catch the
mistake, one had to read all the five entirely again and again. But if very good in
English, it,s quite easy. Get ur grammer basics right ny studying Wren and MArtin. GRE
books like Baron,s etc are not at all useful for Infy Paper.
-- Replace a phrase. A sentnce would be given. A phrase would be underlined, replace it
with one of the options.
-- Fill in the blank with the appropriate word from the options... Pretty Easy...
HR interview was just a formality as they would have rejected maximum in the Written
round.
From the figures after the written test, Infy,s rejection rate is very low. They usually
select upto 90% out of those who have cleared Apti.
Some of the HR interviewers asked my frinds to sing a song, or to say some poem, one
chatted
about FIFA, the other about the IPL Finals. They just wanted to check out one,s spoken
english. Thats it.
From my college, 1300 sat for Apti, 84 cleared, ad finally 71 got placed in Infy.
Cheers

INFOSYS PAPER ON 5th FEBRUARY AT BHUBANESWAR
Hi, i am binayak and i appeared for Infosys campus drive in College of Engineering,
Bhubaneswar on 5th feb,2008. To be frank i was not at all prepared for the campus drive.
i expected infosys to visit our campus around 15th feb, but it visited on 5th which created
a lot of tension.
I am very thankful to all the students whose valuable feedback helped me tremendously
in my three days preparation for Infosys.
Written was quite easy which focussed mainly on Reasoning and English. I could answer
most of them. Remember there is sectional cutoff which may vary from 60% to 70%, so
be careful.
There were more than 350 students who appeared and out of which 73 could clear the
written. After that there was a PI. Here are some questions asked in my PI.
Me: (knocked on the door) Excuse me sir, may i come in?
HR: yes please.
Me: (before the chair) good evening sir.
Hr: Good evening. (then he shook hands with me. Remember to give a firm handshake.
they r looking for confidence). give me your resume. have a sit.
Me: thank you sir.
HR: (After having a glance at my resume) So binayak tell me something about yourself.
Me: (I didnot repeat my name because he already knew my name. I said about myself)
HR: how many siblings do you have.
Me: i answered.
HR: what are they doing?
Me: (I said).
HR: What is your favourite subject?
Me: I like Microprocessor.
HR: Apart from this do you have another favourite subject.
Me: Transmission and distribution
HR: Tell me how power is distributed?
Me: ( I said)
HR: what is a capacitor? (i am from electrical branch so these questions were asked to
me).
Me: ( answered)
HR: what is a transformer?
Me: I answered.
HR: How does an escalator work?
Me: (I answered).
HR: Do we use any electronics devices in escalators?
Me: ( answered)
HR: (then he gave me a puzzle about a train stuck between two stations and it is flooded
outside. i have no means to communicate outside the train, what will i do in such a
situation)
Me: I answered. ( Not all the questions have a perfect answer. remember while answering
just speak about whatever is going on inside your mind. they just want to see your
approach towards the problem.)
HR: do you have anything to ask to me?
Me: What kind of prpaparation do i need to make before joining Infosys, if i get selected?
HR: He answered. ( just listen to what he says).
Thanks you binayak. this is all i would like to know about you.
Me: Thank you sir, it was nice talking to you.
The results were declared 2 hours after i was interviewed. I was one among 43 who got
through the Interview. A lot of credit goes to Freshersworld for providing such a
wonderful forum for students to share their experiences. Best of Luck guys and gals. and
if you get selected then do write your feedback, this will definitely help others.

Latest Infosys Paper January,07.
Category (Placement Paper or Interview Experience): Placement Paper
Date Conducted: 4 Jan 2007
Paper/Interview:
I had went through Infosys paper last month i.e. in January,07. I was already aware that
Infosys have changed there pattern and now they stress alot on English and verbal. Not
that it bothered me much because there is NO way you can improve your verbal in a day
or two.
Anyway so the first part was of English. It had very simple questions like adding articles
a/an/the in the blanks. Than there were a passage of 25 lines with 5 questions on it. There
wer two such passages(one was on "bananas" and I don,t remember the other one). I will
advice you to first read the questions of the passage and than start reading the passage.
Also be careful as you don,t want to waste your time in such questions. There were few
more verbal questions related to closest word among the given words as well as most
suitable word which fits into the given statement.
For example if the statemet is - India lost yesterday because kumble didn,t ________ well
a. Bat
b. Batted
c. Batting
d. score
So the answer is (b). This is just an example, the actualy questions were a little difficult
as compare to this one. The aptitude questions were typical infosys questions but now it
seems they have started putting more emphasis on Visual questions. For example They will give you 4 figures and will ask you which can be next figure in the series.
There were 5 such questions. Another new kind of questions were when they gave you
some data and some conclusions and than they asked questions on them.
One of the question was - Sunil Gavaskar was asked to judge Sachin, Rahul, Kambli,Ravi
Shastri. Now one of them straight drives well so one of them cuts well. One of thenm
pulls well and other one plays cover drive. Oh by the way, don,t assume blindly that if
there is one player who plays straight drive well than it will be Sachin. The questions
were to check your logical skills not your cricket skills :=p
There was one more question of the same type. The time was limited and I will highly
advice you to NOT to stuck anywhere. If you don,t know anything than just move on

talk would start at 9.00a.m….so did the ppt talk started at 9a.m sharp…the ppt talk was
for two hours…do attend this talk with a pen and paper and note down some key points
because the HR might ask question related to these…
The criteria was any two 60% and one 65%. ( generally it is 10th and B-tech 65% and
12th 60%)
Important Tips:1. Start from easy questions and then proceed towards the difficult ones.
2. Make a mindset that the questions which are difficult for you, will be difficult for
others too.. But the question which is easy for you may not b easy for others.
The written exam was divided into two sections:
1) Aptitude (30 ques 40 min)
2) English (40 ques 30 min)
we were firstly asked to fill up a simple form.. ( do not forget to carry a passport sized
photo with you).. the aptitude paper was given first…then the English Paper…
APTITUDE
The paper was not tough but needs practice and proper time management…for aptitude
section follow R.S. Aggarwal “Verbal and non Verbal reasoning”...
Chapters to be followed:Section 1
1.
Series completion
2.
Blood Relations
3.
Puzzle Test
4.
Number, Ranking & Time Sequence Test
5.
Data Sufficiency
Section 2
1.
Logic ( This is also known as Syllogism)- Very Important
Section 3
1.
Series
2.
Cubes and Dice.
Some of the ques I remember areQues (1-5) – Ranking
The questions were very easy.
1. Ram is 10th from front and Shyam is 10th from back. if both interchange their
positions then Ram is 27th from front, then Shyam’s position from back is
(1) 25
(2) 26
(3) 27
(4) 28
2. Hari stands 10th in the class and mohan stands 17th from back and there are 4 students
in between them then the total strength of the class is…..
Ques (6-10)- Next figure i.e. the 6th figure in the series..
Here five figures were given and we had to find out the next figure in the series from the
five figures given as options. These were easy too..
Ques (11-15)- Data sufficiency problems
Ques (16-20)- Graph
Here one graph on Solubility Vs temperature for 6 different compounds like calcium
sulphate, calcium chloride, etc.. was given.. 5 ques followed it… this was little tough as
there were 6 different lines in a small graph ..
Questions were like- which has the highest solubility… (1) calcium chloride at
29deg (2)calcium sulphate at 15deg (3)sodium chloride at 22deg (4)potassium chloride
at 20deg.
Ques (21-25)- Puzzle Test
I don’t remember the whole ques ..it was something likeThere are six persons A,B,C,D,E,F…each person wore a cap and a tie. No person wore
same coloured cap and tie..caps colour were red,black,brown,yellow,green,white. Tie
colours were red,blue,yellow,brown,orange,green… E wore cap as the colour of the F’s
tie. C wore cap as the colour of the D’s tie……….
Five questions followed it…
Ques (26-30)- Syllogism
These were really tough…follow the nine rules given in R.S. Aggarwal or follow the
rules tought by ur PPT teacher…For Bhubaneswar students follow Nanda Sir’s notes…
ENGLISH
The English section was a tough one…for this prepare from Baron’s guide or revise your
basics from Wren and Martin…look for the section in the paper which is easy for you and
attempt
1. 2 long passages followed by 5 ques each…these passages were very tough…one
advice- read the passage once then from the questions try to find out the answers from the
passage…this might help you in completing ques (1-10) much faster.. don’t give too
much time reading the passage..
2. ques (11-17)- choose the correct sentence out of the four …
3. ques on fill in the blanks with the correct word or phrase
4. choose the best suited words or phrases for the underlined words
By 1 p.m the written exam was over …the results were out by 3p.m. the cut off was
around 13 each in Aptitude as well as English section……within 10 min the HR
Interview started…
HR INTERVIEW
The most important thing to crack the interview is that you have to be well prepared
about what is there in your CV…Confidence counts a lot…keep smiling but don’t show
your teeth…if you don’t know the answer say politely that you don’t know the answer do
not bluff.. the HR will catch you… a person with the above qualities and a good
communication skill (in English) can crack the HR interview easily..
The interview was for around 18-20 min…the HR person was very friendly…his
questions followed from what I spoke…my questions were1. tell me about yourself…
2. where do your parents live?
3. how come you have done schooling from Jamshedpur rather than your native
place?
4. you must be leaving in the hostel?
5. you from which branch?
6. do you have exposure to computers?(while answering this ques I spoke about my
summer course i.e. Network Management in “Linux” environment….so the next
questions were from this)
7. what was the course all about?
8. what is a switch?
9. what is routing?
10. name a company which produces switches..(I didn’t knew the answer so I said “I
don’t know the answer)
11. then he asked don’t you watch KBC…I replied – “Sir, for the last 3yrs I don’t
have access to the television as I stay in the mess..
12. what is Oracle?
13. do you have any interest in sports?(my answer was cricket)
14. are you there in the college team?
15. have you played cricket for your college?
16. then he gave me a Maths ques.- there are X no of students in the class..you have
Rs6500..you distributed 6500 among all the students..if 15 more students are
included and the same amount is distributed among all then the new share for
each gets reduced by Rs30 than the previous one..can u find out the actual no of
students(X)? Here he wanted to see that whether I was ready to accept new
problems and how I proceed…never say no to these questions.. always give it a
try.try until he/she stops you.. then explain him/her what you have done..i gave
him the answer and explained what I had done..
17. again he asked me question on cricket- What is China man? – I didn’t knew the
answer so replied- “Sorry sir I don’t know the answer
Some other ques which were asked to my friends were like1.
what is the meaning of your name?
2.
who invented zero?- Aryabhata
3.
what is the loss in a line? – I^2R loss
4.
why should I hire you?
5.
why Infosys?
6.
tell me about your strengths?
7.
give an example where you have worked as a team.
After the Interview I had to wait for around 6 hrs for the result…at 9:15pm the

Infosys selected me at the campus placement held at ITM,Gwalior on 21st March ,2007

my whole experience with you guys coz i really owe my success to this site.

Was very nice.Motivated us enough to join the company at any cost.The pics of campus
of Infosys were shown and various instructions were given esp. about filling up the
Application Form.
The selection procedure consisted of two parts:

2) HR
About 300 students wrote the Aptitude Test out of which 38 were shortlisted for the next

Here are some of the questions which i remember...
QUANT:
1-5: There is a cuboid of dimensions 7 X 6 X 5. It is painted on two opposite faces of
7X6 with red color,one 6 X 5 face with violet and the face opposite to it with green

were given for each question and we had to answer whether:
A A alone is sufficient to come to the conclusion
B. B alone is sufficient
C. Both A and B are Required.
D. Data Insuffficient.
like
x3 = x5
a) x>-3 b) x<0
some fig . with dimensions was given and one side PQ couldn,t be deduced frm that .so
they asked what would be reqd to calculate the Area.
a) PQ=3 b) PS=6.
For three nos. a,b,c in A.P condition required

INFOSYS PAPER ON 21st MARCH AT BANGALORE
Hi guys,
Here are some tips to crack Infy. As you know the exam pattern of infy has been changed
recently. Before we used to have a lot of puzzles and then basic English. Now the pattern
is somewhat easy. 100 % Presence of mind and 75% intelligence can get you through.
Mine was an online exam. Guys the questions cannot be solved fully in their provided
time. Some questions need lot of thinking and consumes time. Just skip those questions
taking lot of time and finish others.. ,coz you can solve others with ease and after gaining
confidence by solving those questions.. surprisingly the question you left will seem
easier. So just carry on with the easier ones as fast as possible. The Non- English session
has questions from the following....
1. Data sufficiency
2. Data Interpretation.
3. SYLLOGISM - - Very important. and somewhat difficult. Refer the 9 rules from R.S
Aggarwal. Memorise those. However the question is in different manner from that of RS
Aggarwal. Here i give an example however this is not the same question but the same
pattern...
Question:
statement A: Some men are educated.
B: Educated persons prefer small families
C: All small families are educated.
D: some men prefer small families.
E: bla bla bla bla.... ( this is not the exact sentence man... just some other
sentences.. i cant remember..)
Choose from the following which is logically correct..
1. ABC
2. EBC
3. ACD
4.ABD
Here the answer is ABD. Like wise some 5 questions.. If you prepare it throughly you
can easily get 5/5 in less time. saving time for others.
4. Puzzle test-- This does not mean the puzzles we see in Shahuntala devi but they,ll give
a passage and we must get the details from that and solve the questions following it.
These examples can be found in RS Aggarwal verbal and Non verbal reasoning.
Concentration is the key !.
5. Spot the odd figure out:
This session was somewhat tough guys... Also you should have good pair of eyes to view
the images correctly.. If possible get a lens !!! Observe deeply and mark the answers.
Refer RS aggarwal for this too...
For all the above portions refer RS Aggarwal verbal and non verbal... Its enough. But
work out all the examples... and test yourselves with some hard exercise. RS Agg is more
than enough. Also refer.. from the asme book ... series completion, direction sense test,
Blood relation, cubes and dice...
Regarding English session. It was a bit tough. Attempt the passage comprehension at the
last else you,ll be reading it till next batch comes !! Long passages.. Good grammar can
get you through in this session.
After the finish of online exam we were asked to wait for 1/2 an hour.... FInally the
shortlisted candidates list were exhibited. By God,s grace i was fortunate to be in it. Out
of 30.. 5 were shortlisted....
Soon we were called for HR round... I went last... i was interviewed by 2 fems... Just
asked personal questions... Then asked puzzles...
1. there was a water bottle in front of us.. they asked me give 10 examples how you can
use it other than filling liquid...
me: blah.. blah... blah...
2. If i drink some water from this bottle how can you measure the reamaining amount
without any conventional measurement !!!
said -- can be done by counting the number if stripes in that bottle... But they were not
impressed asked me someother way... I surrendered!!
3. Gave me a puzzle....
Bring 100 out of seven 3,s.... another boy in my batch was asked bring 23 from five 5s.
However we both ddnt solve it... Its not a problem they just see how you proceed ....
Later i found the answer to be as 333/3 - 33/3 = 100 and 5*5 - 5/5+5/5 = 23

combination out of the given choices).
b.Verbal ability (30 questions in 35 minutes) (very easy paper…ur grammar should be

asked were:· How do ur friends describe u?
· How do ur enemies describe u?
· Tell me something about urself.

General - other MAIT, New Delhi - 17 March 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 17th MARCH AT NEW DELHI
I am Pulkit Gupta, 6th semester studentof Information Technology branch of GPMCE
affiliated to IP university,Delhi. I gave infosys on campus test for freshers on 17th, 18th
March.2007, and cleared it. total 1500 students came from different colleges of IP univ
and finaaly 170 were selected out of 220 shortlisted for HR interview(very low
percentage for infy).the paper was tough especially english section.
Let me thank this site first for giving me a guidance and opportunity to get placed at
Infosys. To start with, let me tell u one thing. The selection procedure of Infosys (New
Pattern) is not that easy compared to previous pattern(quiz) and you have to work a little
harder(especially for english as it is totally CAT pattern and time management is the key
to crack infosys) to ensure that u r placed. More over, your luck also plays a major part.
Let me describe the selection procedure and my experiences. I think it might help you to
focus in a correct direction .
The Selection Procedure had three phases:
PPT presentation on INFOSYS made by the head of the HR recruiting team
Aptitude and Verbal Reasoning
HR Interview
In the morning (around 10 am), after the arrival, u will be exposed to a ppt presentation
on Infosys. I am sure that this will motivate enough to get placed at Infosys.
Next, we were allowed to disperse and we were allotted rooms for our test. After we are
settled in our rooms, we were given an application form to fill it up(if u have anyone in
infosys,write it as reference it may help you in HR). The instructions to fill the
application form will be announced prior. Be careful in filling those forms and provide
accurate statistical data of your marks as far as possible.
Next comes the Aptitude test. It was started at 11.50 am. The time limit for aps is 40 mins
within which u have to complete 30 q,s. The aptitude session consists of the following
sub groups.
A puzzle and 5 objectives based on the puzzle.
5 Problems on finding the next figure in the series.
5 Problems on data Sufficiency( Little tricky)
Data Interpretation: A bar graph was given and 5 questions followed it.(mine was an easy
one) but dont do it first, keep it for the end it takes time.
Once again a puzzle which is little tough as compared to the previous one with 5
questions followed it
Last 5 questions on logical arrangment.
1 puzzle was: Exam is to be held between Monday to sunday. There is 1 holiday in
between papers. 9 papers were: english, hindi, math, history, civics geography, biology,
physics, chemistry.
Conditions were:
1) exams will start either on sunday or wednesday with biology and no other paper will b
there on that day.
2) Geography paper can be followed by 1 other paper but not on Monday.
3) Hindi & English cannot be accompanied by others.
4) Saturday is a half day and sunday is after the holiday.
5) Number of papers before holiday is less than that after the holiday.
5 questions were there like:
1) when the exams start??
a) Sunday
b) Wednesday c) Monday
ans: b) Wednesday
2) when is the holiday?
a) Sunday
b) Friday c) Saturday
ans: b) Friday
d) Friday
d) Thursday
rest i dont remember but the sequence was like this
sol: Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday
biology history holiday English
Hindi civics geography physics maths
chemistry
1 question i remember of data sufficiency was: i suggest do data suffiency from rs
aggarwal quantitative book because dey wont ask u theoritical questions so go thru ques
on data sufficiency at the back of each chapter.
Find the area of quadilateral ABCD.a right angled quadilateral figur was given.
1) AC=5
2) BC=13
ANS was b) both are required to find the area
sorry friends i dont remember all questions as they were too long. After 40 mins they
collected the question paper for aps and gave us verbal(english) q paper. Here is where u
have to put more effort. The verbal part is very tough as compared to aptitude. If u are
strong at basic grammar (particularly tenses and phrases) u will have this cleared.
There will be 40 q,s which u have to finish in 30 mins. Time management is very much
essential here. The pattern of this question is:
2 Passages (R C) followed by 5 q,s each. The first one was easy( mine was on womens, i
didnt read it but it expressed the positive aspect of women, i answered on this basis only)
and the second one was little tough( i didnt even got the time to look at it, do not leave
any question attempt all) .
Selecting the correct option which is grammatically correct from the available four
options.
fill in the blanks type questions
Replacing the underline phrases with suitable ones( phrases were too long so were the
options, time consuming)
Deriving conclusion from small passages(tricky one).
For english, you can refer any CAT material like CL,ims etc. and prepare well for it, dont
take it lightly as it is the main eliminating section in written test, aptitude is easy. in our
case, 220 were shortlisted out of 1500 for interview n english section played a major part
int it).
Remember friends the preset cut-off of infy,s test is 15 out of 30 for aptitude and 20 out
of 40 for english and these dont vary with performance. If all students get more than 50%
in test, all are selected and if no one gets it, then no one is selected.
The tests are over by 1 pm. the results were be announced by 9.30 pm. There were 1500
students appeared for test and 220 were shortlisted for HR round which held next day.
HR round:
it is of 20 minutes per person on an average. Try to drive the interview to ur field of
interest(personal profile) to maximum time so that he gets less time to interview you as
they ask u to leave after 20 minutes sharp, they have a clock in front of them.
Prepare some questions in advance like:
1) your introduction. Finish the answer conciously on to ur field of interest as next
question will be from ur last line of the answer.
2) strengths and weakness. say the weakness that looks like your strength, dont say m
emotional, less patient,hot tempered. you may say that i become irritated when my
teammembers do not work efficiently. it looks like a strength.
3) role model. it would be great if u say ur father or mother as this reflects your honesty,
dont say person from the company like Mr. Murthy, it looks fake.
4) Hobbies. u should know everything about it like if u say reading then he may ask u
about todays headline or latest novels in market or anything related to reading.
5) your objective. dont repeat the line written in ur resume.twist it and then say.
6) 1 question about the company.
now i will tell my experience there were 15 panels from different colleges of Delhi
university(infy members dont take freshers interview).
I was allotted to a gent HR who was really experienced and may be english professor.
Confidence and smiling face is the key to clear HR round.
he asked me to fill the attendance sheet. I didnt wrote the time of my interview n then he
told me to write it as 1:25pm. then asked me wat is PM in 1:25 pm.i didnt knew. so
friends dont give him any chance to ask u such questions.
then he asked me about my reference( my brother in infosys). Then he asked me 2
puzzles. he asked me to find the volume of the sprite bottle kept there(300ml). it didnt
strike me and then he gave me various hints and then i said 300ml but i kept on trying,
smiled in between.
after that he gave me a puzzle:
FORTY
+TEN
+TEN
=S I X T Y
Find the value of each alphabet. i solved it. ans was N=0, e=5.
They just see if u are trying or not. Never say "i dont know" in the first place, just keep
trying and he will himself change the question after 2-3 minutes.
Then he asked me tat do I have any question? Aways ask some question never say i dont
have any and the question concerning the company. i asked why infosys has most of its
centres in south india only? the question should be such that reflects your concern
towards the company.
He answered me tat it is too early to concerned abt those issues and he commented that it
was a very good qn and he liked my attitude. Then he asked me to check my mails
regularly( which is an indirect sign tat I got placed). Then he wished me for my bright
future.. I came out with confidence.
The results were announced by 7pm. I was very happy to hear that I got selected. 170/220
were selected. They have a pattern, they were selecting 75% of students from each
college on an average.

experience..
First and foremost important thing is to be confident. If u trust yourself, you have won
half the battle. Even if you don’t get through, don’t get disappointed. The world does not
end here, may be you a better opportunity is waiting for you
As you all must be knowing , the recent format for the Infy exam is as follows:1.Written test.
2.HR interview
Written test is in two parts:
A)Reasoning(30 ques, 40 mins.)
B)English(40 ques,35 mins.)
Reasoning:
It comprised of 30 ques to be solved in a span of 40 mins. There were 6 questions with
approx 5 subparts each. The questions we got are as follows:
First collect the following books when u start preps for reasoning section.
1) R.S. AGRAWAL- Verbal & non verbal reasoning
2) R.S. AGRAWAL- Quantative aptitude( ONLY FOR DATA INTRPRETATION
QUES.)
3) Any CAT Coaching material, TIME ,CL, PT...........etc.
starting with the paper, the questions are as follows:
1)PUZZLE :-( 5 questions based on puzzle):A simple puzzle was asked, an easy
one............do practice by R.s. agrawal.( verbal n non verbal) in the chapter (PUZZLE
TEST).PUZZLE IS THAT :There are 100 cards distributed into 7 friends n 6 are got same no. of cards n remaining
one got 5 less than others. simply they exchange cards among them. And 5 ques. On this
puzzle.
2)VISUAL REASONING:-(5 questions): There are 5 ques. of this type is there.they r of
odd man out type.the figure which is not like the other 4 figures is selected as
answer.remember this is the most easiest part of the paper,if u practice well these type of
ques. given in non verbal reasoning part of R.S.AGRAWAL.Then no one stops from
doing all 5 ques. right.THUS,this part should be attempted first as they required less time
than others
3) DATA SUFFICENCY: -( 5 questions):
You have to decide if the information given in the statements is sufficient for answering
the problem. Indicate your answer as:
a) alone is sufficient to answer the question.
b) II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
c) either I or II are sufficient to answer the question.
d) both are not sufficient to answer the question.
e) both are needed to answer the question.
FOR e.g.,one question i remember.........
a)what is the two digit number if?
1) sum of the digits is something....?
2)difference of digits is something......?
4) DATA INTERPRETATION(5 QUESTIONS):Two LINE GRAPHS were given & 5 quest based on this are given......Its little time
consuming and a bit tough also. practice R.S AGRAWAL DI questions of all types which
are given.......but i suggest u all to attempt it at last as very lengthy calculations r there. I
also attempted it last. Also if u are practicing well i advice u to use guess
work...............some ques . does not demand full calculations..........they can be solved
visually also...................I make 2 of them by this method. Especially it works in line
graph type questions................
5) LOGICAL PUZZLE (5 QUESTIONS):Again a puzzle was there, but it was slightly lengthy...............
It was about 6 persons (3 male & 3 female) preparing for banking exams of 3 diff. banks.
Each 2 of them are good in three diff. parts i.e. English, quanta, & reasoning. We have to
determine the right combination. Questions are based on these combinations. Similar
problems are given in R.S.AGRAWAL. You practice from there.
6).LOGICAL DEDUCTION(5 QUESTIONS):These are problems in which logical deduction capability was checked. Questions are
like, 5-6 sentences are given like some As are Bs, Bs are Cs, Ds are Es,..................you are
supposed to find the group of logically correct sentences .i. e. ABC, CDF,BCE etc.
This is all about the reasoning part.
They do not disclose the cut off. I solve about 20-22 ques correct .but my friends with 17
score was also selected. So, don t worry about the cut off, just do ur best.
if it was tough then it was tough for all. So, keep ur mind free from tension.
IMPORTANT: there was no negative marking. but that doesn’t means that u attempt all
the ques. without some approach. Beware that they check ur rough work & so even if
u dont know the solution of some problem, then please show some approach in rough
work provided with paper. Remember that they do not check the wild guesses without
some approach. So if u wants to get checked ur wild guesses, THEN PLEASE DO UR
ROUGH WORK NEAT & CLEAN& SHOW SOME APPROACH
That’s all about reasoning section. now they put the English paper before u.
ENGLISH PAPER (40 questions - 35 minutes):
It contains 40 ques. to be completed in 35 min.it consist of following type of ques.
Time management is very much essential here. The pattern of this question is:
1)2 Passages( R C) followed by 5 q’s each. The first one was easy and the second one
was little tough.
2)Selecting the correct option which is grammatically correct from the available four
options.
3)fill in the blanks type questions
4)Replacing the underline phrases with suitable ones
5)Deriving conclusion from small passages.
if u have good knowledge of basic fundamentals of english grammer then u can easily get
through it.
For grammar, you can refer WREN & MARTIN book.
The tests are over by 1 pm. They told us that the results will be announced by 3.30 pm.
There were 700 students from 11 colleges attended the tests.It was third day of three days
mega campus drive of INFOSYS.(from 12 to 14march).All colleges of MP are invited.
The results for our college was announced at 4 o clock and soon after that we were called
to attend the HR Interview. There were 51 students who are shortlisted for the Interview.
The Interview started Immediately after the announcement of written tests.
There were 12 panels and the segregated us into various groups. All the 12 panel HR’s
were so cool and they asked just simple questions from the Resume. Some of our panels
had puzzles also.
I was allotted to a gent HR who was very senior official of INFOSYS.He was really cool

accepted it and said thanks. Then he started asking some simple questions from the
Resume like

Hi Friends, I am Sourav Kundu, 3rd Year Computer Science and Engineering, from
Bankura Unnayani Institute of Engineering, Bankura and I am proud to be so. I have got
selected in Infy through a pooled campusing and I want all of u to be my Friend there.
At the Very Beginning let me make u very clear about the fact that the Ques pattern of
Infy have changed totally, and to some extent puzzles free. Their will be a single set.
First Part Reasoning:- It consisted of 6 sections of 5 ques each and 30 ques to be solved
in 40 min.
It consisted of following Sections:1. Puzzle on classification from RS agarwal.
2.Ques on finding next image from given sequence.
3. Data sufficiency.
4. Data Interptation.
5.Syllogism
6.Puzzle on Blood relation from RS Agrawal
Puzzles were of Type:..... A,B,C,D,E three persons having dogs Jim,Con,Tom.... having
freinds X,Y,Z,F,G and their doctors were h,j,k,l,v........etc.
Five condition were given like:- Jim is not A,s dog, Y is D,s Friend....etc.
Now Five Questions were their from the above hints.It was very time killing and I did it
at the end.
Data interpretation was a Pie chart along with a table.It was fairly very easy.
100% can be scored from Data Sufficiency part: include ages,average,Time dist,Blood
Relation.
The rest sections were easy too, preparing R.S. Aggarwal will be more than enough.
Second Part English:Next was English Test. In that there were 40 ques to be solved in 35 min.
1. 5 long paragraphs including Comprehension.
2. 5 short paragraphs.
3.7-8 ques on Filling the Blank/Completing sentence.
4. 7-8 ques on Sentense correction.
5. 7-8 ques on deriving conclusions from given paragraph.
6. 5 ques on finding best alternative for underlined sentence.
7. 6-7 ques of Type Like:---- All bangles are ring,all rings are not diamond,...etc
Then which of the Statements are correct:- All rings are Diamond....etc.
Paragraphs were too big, I didn,t have much from the paragraphs, one of the was on
Evalution of OS,Windows,Dos,Macintosh,etc. Sentence correction part,etc. were too
easy. Catagory &. as stated above can be scored fully.
PPT:- 0ne hour, It was excellent.
HR Interview:It was one of the most easiest round and eliminating too....Once you get nervous, you are
gone...
I entered the room with a wonderful smile and the person came out of his seat and
aplauded me heavily saying "What a wonderful smile Gentleman". I almost got through
at the First site.
They may give U small brain teasers,like I was given:-- I ate 100 rasgullas for the past 5
days, each day i ate 6 rasgullas more than the previous day. 2day is the 5th day and i have
completed 100 sweets.How many did i eat yesterday.
The are definitely going to ask U to speak on Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam for 2mins. Then I
was asked to compare him with Daud Ibrahm.
At the middle he told me that "You haven,t impressed me. I give you a last chance, you
have 2 mins, now impress me".My communication was very good, I have given all the
questions confidently. So I understood he was trying to make me nervous. But I then
boomeranged him with a puzzle and he said "Bravo, Bravo...".
From small questions they will go on testing your presence of mind. No trace of technical
is there in the whole procedure.
Written is the most vital,once it is clear, U R 90% placed.

Whole Testpaper Dr. B.C.Roy Eng College,Durgapur(West Bengal) - 24
March 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 24th MARCH AT DURGAPUR
Hi frz.. I am Reekodipto (REEK’) from College Of Engineering & Management
Kolaghat.
My experience… It was a long journey from KOLKATA. We reached the venue by 7:30.
The PPT was supposed to start at 9:30 but it was delayed to 10:20 when finally the HR
Manager Madame Padma Kini came on stage & started the PPT.
The PPT was of a duration of more than an hour, which made most of us restless. Around
10 colleges participated and around 1200 students turned up for the occasion. But as the
cut off was declared, around 500 were eliminated.
So friends please heed to the criterion very well. Even a one mark short or a 0.1 % short
was not entertained by any means.
The cut off was as follows…
ICSE / ISC / CBSE --- 65% throughout. (All 6 Subjects).
WB Board
--- 720/1200 (H.S).
Other Boards
--- 65% throughout.
B.Tech
--- 65% or 6.5 (average).
Diploma Holders should have 65% in class 10, 65% in B.Tech and 65% in any one in
Class-12 or in their diploma results; whichever is higher can be considered. However
there was a 5% relaxation for all in one of the examinations except for Diploma Holders
and WB Boards.
So please be careful with the eligibility criterion & note it well when INFOSYS
announces the same.
APTITUDE TEST :
One student in the PPT asked Padma about the cut off in the aptitude test but she blindly
refused to utter a single word about that, instead she said, “ It is strictly Confidential and
under no circumstances we will declare the cut off ”.
The Paper comprises of two parts – firstly the logical reasoning part, which was of a
duration of 40 minutes and secondly the English part was of a duration of 30 minutes.
Before starting off, you will be required to fill up a form along with a passport size
photograph. You will not get the TWO PAPERS together. Only after the completion of
the stipulated time, you will get the next paper.
The Logical reasoning part was a bit difficult. Also you have to manage your time very
well. Don’t waste too much time for a single question.
There were two puzzles, one was easy and another one was a 20 variables puzzle, which
many of my friends couldn’t solve. I don’t know how I manage to solve it. The puzzles
was not of the R.S. Aggarwal standard. It was quite difficult. I solved almost all puzzles
from R.S. Aggarwal but neither of them was of that standard. But if you proceed in the
correct manner, I don’t think it will be difficult to solve. Remember well to use the rough
sheet as during evaluations, they make check your rough sheet.
There was one problem from blood relations, which was easy. There were 5 picture
series, which were of below standard. I think this everybody has done it correctly. Then
there was a problem from PIE CHARTS, but it was too confusing but not difficult. Read
the question very well before answering. There were 5 syllogisms, which comprises of 5
different interpretations for each. You have to choose the correct option. For this you can
practice from R.S.Aggarwal. But the laws there given never went into my head.
The second paper is the English aptitude. This comprises of two comprehensions, which
was too lengthy. The best way to solve this in quick time is to go through the questions
first and then try to find the answer from the comprehension. Because if you start reading
the whole comprehension, be rest assured that you are not clearing the aptitude test of
INFOSYS. You can try it out. The other questions were from sentence completion, fill in
the blanks with an appropriate word, preps etc. This section was very easy to score.
I being a student from ISC board, didn’t find any difficulties in solving the English
section, but some of my friends who have come from Bengali medium, found the paper
to be a difficult one.
The results were declared after 3 hours. Out of around 800, only 95 cleared in the
aptitude test and 22 cleared from my college. Luckily I was one of them.
PERSONAL INTERVIEW :There were 10 panels and hence this round was moving at a brisk pace. Though each was
interviewed for at least half an hour .
Now let me share my experience…
Panel number one called me.
The interview..
Interviewer : Please have seat.
I:
Thank you, Sir.
Interviewer : So Reekodipto..What a good name. Can you say the meaning of your name?
I:
It means that I am being enlightened from the Rig Veda.
Interviewer : So you are from Electrical Engineering Department, right? How can we fit
you in INFOSYS?
I:
I also know C, C++, which are also my favorite subjects.
Interviewer : Good. So Reek shall I ask you general questions or technical questions?
I:
As you wish Sir. I am comfortable with both.
Interviewer : What is DBMS?
I:
hm…Sir I don’t know.
Interviewer : So, I should proceed with general questions.
I:
As you wish Sir.
Interviewer : As I can see from your aptitude test, you scored very well. Good. Can you
explain me how did you solve this puzzle? (The 20 variables puzzle)
I:
I explained.
Interviewer : Good. Can you solve this series?
I:
(It was a combination of 4 series & I solved it with an ease and turned the
paper in his direction and said 6 is my answer which was followed by my justification.)
Interviewer : Have you seen yesterday’s match? (Ind Vs SL) Do you know the Score?
I:
No, Sir I couldn’t see India’s batting, but I have seen SL’s batting and I
told the score.
Interviewer : Don’t you think that the Indian players are overpaid?
I:
(Answered elaborately, citing examples)
Interviewer : You have quite an interesting email id . Can you say why have you used
such name?
I:
In my school days my friends use to call me by that name. That is the only
reason that I have used such name.
Interviewer : Any special reasons behind that? Your friends were boys or…
I:
No…No…No…I used to study in a mono-ed school.
Interviewer : Which school were you in?
I:
DON BOSCO.
Interviewer : What are your Hobbies?
I:
Playing Sudoku and Photography.
Interviewer : Quite an interesting hobby…good. One last question- Do you think audiovisual is important in today’s modern day world? Justify your answer.
I:
(Said a lot about this..my school used to have an audio-visual room…and
many more and lastly concluded citing an example)
Interviewer : Ok reek, Thanks you may leave..
I:
Thank You Sir, It was a pleasure to interact with you.
The results were declared at 10:10 pm by Padma Kini and only 45 cleared out of 95, out
of which 8 were from our college and I was one of them. Padma exclaimed to us by
saying INFOSCIONS…We were very happy.
Some Important Findings:
Ø Whatever you say, you should have proper justification at the back of your mind
because the next question can be that
Ø You can expect some current affairs questions specially the names of our ministers.
Ø Though many says that Shakuntala Devi is not required but some of my friends
were asked some questions from that book in their interview.
Ø Good communication skill is a must in INFOSYS, which are not so important in
other companies.
Ø You can expect some situational questions in your interview.
Ø Do not try to bluff the interviewer as they are very quick in reading your minds.
Ø Be confident in whatever you are saying.
Ø Do not try to use many ornamented words as that can lead you to trouble.
Ø Believe in yourself and then believe in ALMIGHTY.

hear that from 19 students of our college selected in written, 13 were at last selected in
Infy.(our selection number was the highest)

Sydenham College in Mumbai The test was of two sections as had been described by othr
users too.
The logical section was a bit lengthy but very easy. I was prepared for the question on
cubes but unfortunately it wasnt in the paper.
The most time consuming question was based on graph reading....It showed the no. of
gastroenteritis , cholera, diarohhea, and tuberculosis patients for three years...94-96. It
involved calculations tht was very much time consuming so I advise to u solve this
question last if it comes in ur paper.
The English section was very easy. Questions were:
2 passages...the lengthy one on Mona Lisa and Leonardo Da Vinci...just read the
questions before u start reading the passage and thn mark down the anwsers as u come
across thm while reading the passage...saves a lot of time this way
The other shorter passage was on the allotment of agricultural lands for SEZz in West
Bengal...very easy 1...Other questions were like: Select the incorrect statement, Replace
the phrase with a more suitable 1, just 1 vocabulary question.
The placement papers posted on this site helped me a lot.
All you need to crack the test is the book ,Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, by R.S.
Agarwal. and practice.
Interview was on the next day,i.e., 5th February 2007, at Raheja Chambers, Nariman
Point, Mumbai.
It was an HR interview with two guys on the panel
Question asked were:
1.Tell us about yourself.
2.Hobbies...i said collecting coins and reading...1 of them asked wht is the person whose
hobby is to collect coins called??...(Ans:Numismatist)
3.Why do u want to join IT industry(i am from telecom)
4.How will you cope up with the intensive training ?
5.What did u do in the last six months? (appeared for Army Selection ..got rejected in
medical examnation)
6.Did u do ne courses ? (No)
7.Why ur % decreased steadily frm 10th to B.E. ?

punctured...while replacing it the screws get lost....u dnt hve xtra screws....u hve to take
ur car with u frm there....thrs no 1 thr for miles...Wht will u do ?
(Remove 1 screw from each of the remainin tyres and use them to screw in the new tyre)
9.Puzzle 2: Ypu are standing in an empty room. A bulb hanging by a thread from the
ceiling is touching the top of ur head. You hve a stopwatch. How will u calculate the
height of the room ?....They asked me to think aloud, to tell thm the ideas coming to my
mind.
(Set the bulb in oscillations by swinging it like a pendulum. Calculate the time period
using stopwatch. formula is t = 2*pi*sqrt.(l/g), l = length of the thread. Now height of
room = My height + length of thread)
10.Wht do u do in ur spare time (read, listen to music)
Do u surf net(yes)
Which sites(google, indiatimes)
Hve u visited infosys website?(yes)
So what do u know abt infosys(told them whtevr i hd read...do not forget to mention

Me:2 yrs back every1 was sent to Pune for trainin..wht was the reason then ?(They: Thr
wd hve been some specific reason at tht time)
12.Wd u b comfortable workin at any of the centres in India (Yes) Thats it..
The ppl with experience had to go thru anothe interview in which they were asked why
do they want to quit the current job ?...You,ll get 18000pm here which is less thn what
some of them were earnin....so still u want to join Infosys ?
They chk ur communication skills, confidence level, attitude in the interview...doesnt
matter if u cant answer evn a single puzzle or if u dnt know nethin about Infosys..just be
confident(but not overconfident, mind you...they dnt like that), keep a positive
attitude....and you,ll surely make it..

INFOSYS PAPER ON 3rd MAY
hi friends i am deivanai
infosys came to our college for on campus recruitment ya
it was a one day process. i had a wonderful experience
first slot in our college is given to TCS they have selected 110 students among 330 but i
had not been placed there. but infy have selected only 28 students among 263 i got there
so frds dont get depressed if u loss one opportunity . there r lot of opportunities for us. so
try try try and keep on trying
i will giv u some of my experience here. the selection process contains only two stages
first one is the written exam and the next is the H.R
for the written exam pls refer R.S. Agarwal. but the questions are not the exact replica of
that We should have the presence of mind and we should be brisk enough to face the new
questions so dont worry for infy no preparation is necessary just see the model thats
enough
Non verbal section comprises(30 q 45 min) time is more than enough
-Data sufficiency
-finding the odd figure from the given series
-syllogism
-critical reasoning
Verbal section(40 q only 35 min)
Time is not enough so hurry up be fast dont do the passage first it will lead u to trouble.
so solve the questions from the last
-reading comprehension
-grammatically correct sentence
-deriving the inference from the given information
-replacing the part of the sentence with the correct phrase or some other part
So i have cleared the written exam everything becaz of god,s grace. among 263 only 40
were short listed
then the H.R. interview
here they will check only the communication skills and no technical they will ask the
technical question if u dont know dont worry frankly say i dont know. they only check
whether u r ready to accept the questions r u r hesitating and they will ask questions
based on ur resume so be thorough with ur resume and they will give one puzzle. if u cant
answer dont worry they will check the way u proceed. so it was very easy . i have cleared
it also ya

3)data sufficiency (4 of 5 were really easy)
4) data interpretation: some data for cars(maruti,zen) was given and 2 of 5 ques were
realy calculative(leave such ques. i,ll suggest) but remaining 3 could be clearly figured
out from the data
5)seating arrangement: similar to as given in rs aggrwal (6 peaple A-F have to sit such
that b and e have exactly 2 people in between etc. etc...)
6) syllogism: just go through the rules given in rs. agrwal n everything will be a piece of

Whole Testpaper I,E.C. College Of Engg. & Tech. , Gr. Noida - 17 April
2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 17th APRIL AT NOIDA
Hello fellow friends and INFOSYS aspirants
i am "Ashish Kaushik" from "IEC college Gr. Noida" INFI was here at 17th of April
2007 i have been selected in the company, and wanna extend a helping hand to all of my
fellow friends who are on the same/ or wanna be on the same side.. but before i start i
would like to express my sincere regards and wana thank to all those friends/colleagues
and seniors who always had their advices and moral building attitude to help me in
preparing for my Placement..
"ALL THE VERY BEST MY FRIENDS ... KEEP UP THIS SPIRIT.. " NOW COMING
TO THE TOPIC INFI and its procedure:::::
plz NOTE that there was NO NEGATIVE MARKING IN ANY OF THE TESTS INFI
TOOK...SO ATTEMP FULLY
Step1: First of all there was a form given to us to fill.. it included all the details like Sem
marks, 10th , 12th marks, working experience, address details etc etc.. u r given 30 mins
to fill it correctly(especially the SEM aggregate Marks) and are Required to have a
passport size photo along with it..
Step2: after the Form was filled we were given the Test Answer Sheet And Paper
test::1 APTITUDE AND REASONING..
The Paper Consisted Of 30 Questions (all one marks):::and time alloted was 45 min::::::
the paper consisted of the Following topics::
1. Data Interpretation:: 5 ques.
i advice u to prepare the pie chart(which came in my paper) and tabular chart Questions
thorughly as they give good marks on a carefull observation
2. Logical Reasoning::5 Ques
It consisted of the PET syllogic Ques.. like 1. all Charts are Wire 2. all wires are frames
and some conclusions were given
#Advice# use VENN Diagrams for solving them.. they ae faster and accurate.
3. Puzzles :: 5Ques
they consisted of Ques like A,B,C,D,E had a sum of money, the total was Rs.100
->>the total of money A+B had was equal to that of C+D..
>A had half the money B had, D has more money than C..
>> D has 5 more than B..
and Ques were like:: Who HAS THE MOST/LEAST AMOUNT OF
MONEY
HOW MUCH MONEY DID ,c, HAVE... and three other (i dont rem exacxtly )
#ADVICE# do not attempt to solve fully .. in most cases "solving" is not as imp as
"observation"
#ADVICE# TIME MANAGEMENT is the key resource to crack Infi exam
so try to observe Ques(not only this but all) Carefully and examine the fact it helps to
save Time.. and improves accuracy.. only when it is needed factually u should do the
cacluations
4. IMAGE QUESTIONS ::: NON VERBAL.. 5QUES..
some were easy n some were tricky.. we had to find the Next Figure in the series ..i mean
we were given 5 figures following a definite pattern and we had to find the next
Succeeding Figure..
#ADVICE# the Key again lies in Carefull observation
>>>>some of them i would like to share with u >>> --->>> Rotation(clockwise or anti)
--->>Degree (the degree to which the figure has moved)-->>whether some lines or figure
is being constantly added or subtracted and if yes then in which manner
5 it Was a mix of DATA INTERPRETATION+DATA SUFFICIENCY+PUZZLE ::::::
5qUES
% note% THAT WE DID NOT GET ANY PROBLEMS REGARDING BLOOD
RELATiONS but i wud recommend u to go through it also, as it has come in previous
papers... so u shud be well prepared for Infi...
##ADVICE## U CAN REFER TO R.S.AGGARWAL VERBAL AND NON VERBAL
(ITS SUFFICIENT TO CRACK INFI) IF U WANNA PRACTICE MORE, TRY
ABHIJEET GUHA IT IS ALSO A NICE BOOK..
test:: 2 english Test 30QUES & 35MINS.
friends i would like to remind u that English in INFI has a good level so prepare it in a
better way.. its not that its tough.. but ur preperation will give u the time margin so that u
can score well..
it was Divided in the following::
1. LONG Comprehension.. and Short Comprehensions ( avoid doing them first as they
consume a lot of time... attend them later)
2. Sentence Correction..given will be three long sentences and u will have to choose the
best of them grammatically and logocally correct..
3. Fill in the blanks..choose the best phrase that would fit in
4. WORD meaning.. there was only one Ques on It ----The word was CALUMNIOUS
and we had to find the meanings closest to it..
##ADVICE## u can practice comprehension by reading the editorial coloumn of ur daily
newspaper and for the rest try "Wren And MArtin" it,s worth it.. Trust me!!
and thats all it was on the written side... REST was my interview..
THE INTERVIEW..

I Entered the room after his( the interviewer,s) permission and sat on the chair when he
insructed(never sit without his permission it creates a bad impression) he gave me an

for interview and out of them 92 were declared placed.
Written test:
duration- 45 min
questions -30
the test was tough but can be cleared with not much trouble if one lays emphasis on time
management .....and off-course c2d policy can give help
Q 1-5 data interpretation (need presence of mind) i don,t remember the full question but
it was almost like ---gopal and mohan bought 2 types of trees lemon and coconut in the ratio 1:5
gopal spent 2 lacs in other thingd like levelling,labour etc,,they totally invested 12 lakhs
after they sold coconuts they got 5,00,000.as revenue ,,, total field was 5 hectares ,, and
the output of fields were in the ratio 2:3 ,,they sold a coconut for Rs.5 ques. were on to
find the number of coconuts , the number of lemons total revenue of lemon etc ....ths was
quite time consuming question
Q6-10images question five figures were given in each question ,, and we have to find the
6th of it from the options ,,(do it carefully)
Q11-15data sufficiency(very easy)
one quest was
:: is g+3>h+2?
1.g>0and h>0 2.cube of g >cube of h
these question test the basics of a person these can be simple quadratic equation to even
plus or minus questions...
Q16-20 a mix of data interpration and puzzle test (easiest ,,, mostly candidates did it
orally )mainly it was like puzzle test but a tabular data was given to give it data
interpretation type look,,,, i m sure everybody might have done it without much trouble

Q6-10 reading comprehension but not so big
rest i don,t remember the sequence
some 5 questions were on sentence correction (be careful ,all options are almost
alike )you have to gramatically strong to get on these one,s
soem 5 questions were on inference ,,( deduce wht the paragraph say)
i remember one was like ---- jim corbett was a famous tiger hunter ,he went to some
forest in search a girl whom a tiger has taken with it ,, when he got to the tiger, he was
with a colie,,, tiger has just finished eating the girl ,, despite of seeing jim corbett the

General - other Cambidge Foundation School, New Delhi - 8 April 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 8th APRIL AT DELHI
hi all..... i appeared for the test on 8th april,2007 at cambridge foundation school,new
delhi........my experience was really unusual........i reached the test centre one hour before
the scheduled time.....after half an hour three or four students walked in....i was of the
view that....there must be around 1000 students( as i had gone through diff candidates
expe.) but was astonished to c that we were just 7 students who had to appear for the
test.....n a staff of around 14-15 were standing to welcome us....they were gossiping n
same were we doing...as both the parties were surprised...as infy had send call letters to
1700 students....may be that was my luck that just 7 reached there......we took the
test.....analytical part was very easy....it had 6 questins with 5 internal questions.......
1). data interpretation...:: in this question few missing figures were there in the table.....n
hints were given to find them...then 5 questions were there on that data......it was bit
tricky...may be i had not much time to solve that ...otherwise...it was easy....
2) there were 5 questions based on figures...like 5 figures were given we had to find the
missing figure from the options...it was easy...n i think it depends on how cool minded u r
at that point of time....otherwise it doesnt need practice....
3) there were 5 syllogisms...most of them were from RS aggarwal.....
4) again data interpretation....based on sale of food items...it was an easy one .....this
again was a simple table....no graphical data was there....
5) there was puzzle...it was also easy......
6)data sufficiency : it was mathematical questions based....but i would like to tell u...that
RS aggarwal is more than sufficient.....many people advised me to do times material...or
cl...but i think once you solve RS aggarwal fully...its more then sufficient...ya what u
wont get in RS agggrwal is DI questions...for that saolve few from any cat material...ya
for data sufficiency....solve mathematics based data sufficiency...questions....
next english paper was very lengthy...it had two passages...leave them for last....then error
finding,incorrect sentences,choose the correct option kinds question were
there.....remember to be calm through out....don,t loose patience....remember it doesnot
have negative marking so if anything is left out...you can make guesses also.....just keep
track of your speed.......my advise will be that when few days r left 4 exam...just set
timers 4 forty minutes n try to solve 40 questions...i mean just practice to work fast.....
after the test we were asked to wait 4 half an hour.....all of us were in a very strange
state...coz we were very few...n were not clear what would be the criteria of short
listing...suddenly...a gentleman walked in our room n called my name....i was not atall
prepared for what was going to happen next...n to my surprise he took me to a
room....where my interview started.....it was without notice...in a hurry i switched off my
mobile...they were sitting in a class room...so atmosphere was also not suggestive....i
wished them...they started with...tell us about yourself...told
then my strengths....where did i show my leadership skills in real time scenario....all of
the sudden one of them started taking my technical...that was again a shock...as i was a
fresher...n that too unexperienced...i had done msc stats....n he was also 4m stas
backgroung...so i was caught....anyhow i managed...then there was bombardment of
mixed questions...technical as well as hr.....then they gave me a vicarious situation and
asked me to add innovations...i did...atlast they said that i ll be intimated within 2 or three
weeks.....i thanked them and came our...few other staffmembers were standing there... i
asked them about other candidates they said only i was shortlisted...that was again a
surprise....then they told us that test will again be conducted there on 15th april for those
called 1700 students as they didnt get call letters.....thank god i was saved........now lets
see what happens.......i m just praying to GOD that everything ends well.....coz ours
situation was really strange....i dont know whether they will consider our test or not....just
pray 4 me please...all the best to all of you...trust yourself you ll do it... i was also very
phobic about the test....but its not actually that tough...remember its based on CAT style
but not difficult as that....so trust yourself.......u can do it.....and for interview....dont cram
anything...just be clear what to say ...let it come direct from ur heart...coz thaey people r
experienced ...n will rightly judge if u have cramed anything.......dont lie anywhere...be
honest.....no body can beat you then......they just see how confident you are n how honest
you are...

General - other B.M.A.S Engineering College, Agra - 6 April 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 6th APRIL
Hi friends,
Tips:
1) crack wriiten test with a good score there is no chance for cheating because infosy will
not allow u to do that as they have there pannel to conduct the exam ur collage have no
role on it.
2) Have ur Acedemic records over 70%(u r eligible to sit if u hv 65% in C.B.S.E or 60%
in state board)it really matters at the time of interview.
3) Be Confidant n dont lie them.
On pool campus derive of infosy on 5th April out of 962 students 203 had successfuly
cracked the written paper in which 44 r from our college (I.E.T Agra)
The test is conducted under two sections:
(A) The analytical reasoning part(40 min & 30 questions)
(B) English usage (30 min & 40questions)
Infosys is following the cat pattern and is concentrating on the candidates time
management, general aptitude And vocablury.
(1)English paper was tough one but conains questions from our daily English usage,a
person with average english speaking skills have to work more in this section, no
antonyms ,synonyms were asked so no need learn those from barons for infy atleast. it
consis to two passage one is easy n other is not so easy as it was too long so preferable do
it at last. there are some question to correct the sentance n like this be prepeared for ur
gramatical skill if u r lacking it in urs than forget abt infy, so start prepearing for it frm a
good grammer book like wren n martin.
(2) Analytical portion was quite easy one only u have to think abt is for time managment
i will suggest u to do Data intepretations at last. there r questions frm missing figure n
odd man out like this.u just refer too R.S.Agarwaal it will help u to crack it.
On next day (6th April)all shortlisted candidate r asked to report at the college at 10 am
sharp for college wise interview. The interview was really cool one there are 13 pannels
who r taking the interviews of 13 different students at one time. they simply want to
judge ur speaking n communication ability,so if u r good on that then there is abt 90%
chance of getting shortlisted in final list.
on my interview they simply ask question frm my resume espessialy frm my hobbies so
be prepeared for it with a good example. for example if ur hobbie is listening music then
u must know what type of music n who is the singer of tht music who composed the song
like this they can ask any thing,they asked me abt my state.so get ready for it.
at 5 pm sharp they announsed the result out of 203 the final list consist of 122 sucessful
candidates(including me).
From our college I.E.T agra we 27 students are finally got selected and i thanx to all my
teachers n friends who coperated with us

Whole Testpaper B.I.T,Bangalore - 6 April 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 6th APRIL AT BANGALORE
Hi …
Infosys visited BIT on April 6th 2007 and I got thru…
Here I’m giving you the details abt the test and all u wanted to knw…
DETAILS
1) As of now Infy is offering 2.7 p.a. They said tat there are 90% chances of increasing
the pay to a max of 3.0 p.a.
2) Infy has a bond for 1 yr.
3) The training is at Mysore
4) If you are not selected then you cannot write for Infy for a period of 9 months
ELIGIBILITY
I think it is 65% in 10th, 12th n BE with a 5% relaxation in any one…
PROCEDURE
STEP 1:
PPT
The PPT is for abt 90 min..
Go through the company website on the day before…collect all the relevant details and
make a note…it will be much easier for u to follow the PPT..
Make a note of the HR’s name..
Be prepared to answer questions like “Why Infosys?” or “What do u knw abt Infosys?” in
the HR round…
STEP 2
FILLING OF THE APPLICATION FORM
You will have to fill an application form…make sure u fill it accurately…
Take 2 recent passport size photographs (imp)
The form will include the following details …
1)Personal details
Like name, address, phone no etc
2) Family details
Like name n occupation of parents..
3) Educational background
Like marks, university, month n yr of passing..
U will have to include all languages, pracs, and optionals in the total
And avg is calculated as
Total marks obtained in all sems/total max marks
4) Other details like
Vision: It is 6/6 for normal vision
Major Illness + date: write NA if not applicable
References of people working at Infosys : if any
You get 30 min to fill the application form
STEP 3:
TEST OF ARITHMETIC REASONING AND ANALYTICAL THINKING
30 QUESTIONS
45 MINUTES
We had 5 sections each with 5 divisions
1) Puzzle based on direction sense…easy
Something like…
P,Q,R and S are standing at the 4 corners of a square…n/w ,n/e,s/w n s/e respectively…
N something like…If P and R move one and a half distance in the clockwise
direction…Q and S one n a half in the anticlockwise direction then in
which direction is P with respect to S…something like tat
All the sub questions were based on the similar pattern
2) Figure Completion….tricky…a little tough
5 figures in a series were given n we had to find the missing figure
It was a little tough …try n go through RS Aggarwal Verbal n Non Verbal Reasoning to
get a hang of these kinds of questions..
3) Data Sufficiency….easy
A question was given followed by 2 statements We had to mark
1) If the first statement alone was enough to answer the question
2) If the second statement alone was enough to answer the question
3) If the both the statements were required to answer the question
4) If the question cld not be answered using both the statements
5) If either statement alone was sufficient to answer the question
A little practice from RS Aggarwal Verbal n Non Verbal or any CAT material will help u
answer these kinds of questions
4) Data Interpretation….questions were direct but need quick calculations
We were given a table tat had the info abt the sales of 3 companies A,B n C for different
years..1990 to 1998..
The total sales n price/unit was given..
We had to calculate stuff like
1) avg price/unit of company C
2) the percentage increase in the no. of units produced by Company A from 1991 to
1992
3) the year in which the no. of units produced by Company C decreased a second time
4) The year in which maximum no of units were produced…something like tat
The price/unit was given in decimals like 3.4 n the sales something like 501 etc.. hence
there was a lot of division to do…try to approximate the values n calculate wherever
comparison is involved… Practise from RS Aggarwal Quantitative Aptitude ..try timing
ur self…
5) Puzzle based on Blood Relations…easy
A family with members A,B,C,D,E and F….2 married couples…3 females…n the
relations among them were given…
N questions like..Which of the following pairs represents a married couple?Etc were aske
Draw a family tree…it’ll help u answer the questions
6)Logical deductions
In this section abt 5 statements were given n we had to find out which of them were
logically related…
These were not the usual syllogism(all,some etc) type..
It was more like..
a) T is taller than Q
b) R and S are of the same height
c) T is taller than S
d) R is shorter than T
e) Some other statement
Which of these are logically related?
1)eab 2) abc 3)cbd 4)ade
Others had statements like The avg salary was increased by 15%...etc
I think it is best to go with the answer options n choose the most appropriate one…
STEP 4:VERBAL 40 QUESTIONS 30 MIN
You get 2 comprehensions both were quite simple…but do the comprehensions at the
end..read the questions briefly …then read the comprehension with proper concentration,
understanding each statement…u can easily answer the questions 5 in each
10 Sentence Completion
4 statements almost the same but with some difference..mark the one which is
grammatically correct..look for spelling mistakes..grammar errors etc…
10 questions based on choose the best option to replace the underlined part..
Simple paragraphs were given n questions were asked like which of these statements can
be inferred from the para, which is false according to the para etc…
STEP 5: HR INTERVIEW
In the HR round u are basically asked abt ur self, ur résumé. There are no tech questions
asked n even if asked it will be very basic stuff…
They also ask puzzles…u need not solve them..they only look at ur approach..
The questions I was asked..
1) Tell me abt ur self

physical activity wat wld u organize n how wld u go abt doing

Whole Testpaper Vignan Engineering College, Guntur - 31 May 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 31st MAY
Hai friends this is Ramakanth frm Nalanda Institute of Engineering &
Technology,Sattenapalli. Recently Infosys visited Vignan College for Off-Campus
selections. Totally 739 members attended selections ,128 cleared the written test &
totally 55 got placed in the Company. Luckily iam also one of the 55 members who got
placed. So i want to share my experiences with u,first of all I thank Freshersworld for
providing information about Infosys.
The total procedure for Infosys selection is of two stages,They r
1)Written test
2)Tech cum HR
Written test consists of 2 papers,they are
i)Reasoning
ii)Verbal
Reasoning paper consists of 30 quos should be solved in 40 mins
first 5 quos are based on Cubes.The problem is: If a cube of dimensions on 3*4*5
coloured with three different colors namely Red,Green,Black are painted on opposite
corners of the cube.this cube is cut down into 78 smaller cubes.Of these 78 , 73 are
smaller in dimension & remaining 5 are bigger than remaining but of equal dimension.
From these given information 5 quos were asked.They are of this type
i)How many cubes are there painted with red colr?
ii)How many cubes are there of painted on three sides?
iii)How many cubes are there of painted on two sides?
iv)How many cubes are there of painted on only one side?
v)How many cubes are of unpainted? I cant remeber the dimension right ,but the quos r
like these.
Next 5 quos are on Non-verbal reasoning i.e.,odd man out series.This is very easy section
to answer in very less time.Out of 5 quos 4 are straight out frm R.S.Agarwal Reasoning
text book.So read that book thoroughly especially 3rd chapter namely Classifications in
Non-Verbal part to answer these quos.
Next 5 quos are on Data sufficiency,these r also easy ones.repeated frm previous papers
Next 5 quos are on Data Interpretation,these r tougher than earlier ones.He gave the
graphical representation of the incomes of 8 management institutes of three years.All 5
quos r on Percentages,so be well prepare percentages & try to learn speed maths(fast
solving) to answer this section.I failed to solve these quos
so i randomly picked the answers bcoz there is no -ve marking.
Next 5 quos are on Puzzle test,He gave information about Six friends about their
heights,weights,gender.First of all u have to analyse the info. & arrange them in
increasing&decreasing order.if u done it u can answer the quos very easily.
Next 5 quos are on Syllogism.Out of these 5 quos 1 quo is straight out frm R.S.Agarwal
book.Others also of same type,if u use Venn diagrams its time consuming so use venn
diagrams in effective manner.
This is all about Reasoning paper.
Verbal paper consists of 40 quos to be answered in 30 min.This is little bit tougher than
reasoning paper if u poor in English otherwise its also easy paper, It consists of two big
passages.the quos on these passages are very easy.If u read the passage faster then u can
answer the quos very easily.Reading newspaper daily helps to solve this section.
Next 5 quos are on fill in the blanks with word that can fit grammatically &
logically.Thse r also easy & little bit confusing,logical thinking is necessary to answer
this section.
Next 5 quos are on replacing the underlined phrase with suitable option.this is also very
confusing.
Next 5 quos are finding the conclusions for five small passages.This is also confusing
Next 5 quos r finding the grammatically correct sentence frm the options given
below.This is also confusing but easy if u r good in grammer. Especially they are asking
on Perfect tense.so learn it carefully.
Sorry frnds i cant remember the whole paper,i suggest u to read news paper daily & read
the Run&martin book for grammer. This is all about my written test.
The results were announced at 3:30 pm afternoon,my HR waqs conducted at 9:30 pm
night.I waited patiently for 6 hours with some tension. Luckily there are no technical
quos only hr.
I entered the cabin & wished my HR,she is a lady ,she also wished me & asked to take
the seat. Next she asked my resume & i handled it to her.She asked about my family
details. Next she asked "What kind person u are?". Next she asked the justification of all
my personal skills mentioned in my Cv.I explained her with suitable examples. Next she
asked some crucial quos like "If u cant adjust within the team u r working what do u do at
that time?" I answered very carefully & very convincingly. Next she asked about my
extra activities other than curricullum.Next she asked about my hobbies. Finally with a
clean smile in her face she asked me to leave, I also left the cabin with small smile.

In Reasoning all over 30questions were asked for 35minutes
1st five questions are of "Number Ranking and sequencing"
few questions which i remember:
1. IF Ram,s rank from the beginning is 10th in a classroom of students
and ranks 12th from the last. how many students are there in the classroom.
ANS. 9 students before ram +ram+ 11 students from end==== 9+1+11=21
similarly some models of above..
2. IF therre are 31 students in a classroom and if ram stands 13th from beginning ,wat is
his rank from the end.?
3. IF Ram ranks 12th from beginning and Shyam ranks 11th from end . and if Ram and
Shyam exchange their places. then Shyam,s rank from end is 15th from end . wat is the
rank of Ram from the beginning now?
4.& 5. similar model.
6----10 questions were based on missing figures ,
11----15 were based on DATA SUFFICENCY (easy ones only)
16--20 were based on data interpretation
A pie chart which gives the distribution of the "times group magazine"it consists of
two cirlces ,the incircle gives the disturbution of one newspaper "times of india" and
the outcirlce gives the distribution of " indiatimes " on same parameters.......
5 questions were asked on this piechart
doesnt need much of calculations...
21--25 seating arrangemnt of 11 students A,B,C,D,E.F,G,H,I,J,K. ( 4 CONDITIONS
WERE GIVEN LIKE)
D ,who sits to immeidite left of E,is 2nd to the left of C.
26----30 "SYLLOGISMS" we have to draw the conclusion of two statements which are
logically connected,,,it is based on distribution lists of subject and predicate in both
statements,..verify " logical reasonin g by r s agarwal,or time material of reasoning"
example: some cats are dogs.
all dogs are pigs.
the conlcusion for this is " some pigs are cats"
the second paper is " VERBAL; ABILITY"----OBJECTIVE--40MIN
1---5 READING COMPREHENSION
5--10 READING COMPREHENSION( ONE EASY ONE TOUGH)
11---20 Find the correct statement from the options( grammer part jjust go through
all ur basics tenses , prepostions)
21 ---25 a statement is given where the underlined phrase or line has to be corrected
we have to find the right choice from the options;< again tenses>
26---30 fill in the blanks with the right option there again tenses
,prepostions,,conjunctions,,
30---40 logical reasoning where a certain situation is given we have to find the
conclusion of it or the assumption of the author...
in verbal ability time management is important ...

experiences n the selection procedure of the placement....First of all let me tell u
about how the process goes on.... first v had a ppt at 10:30a.m. n thn thy asked us to go to
our respective examination halls.....thr v were given an application form...plz frnds be
careful while filling it....before going to interview plz calculate ur total marks n ur
aggregate percentage n hav ur ID card with u n also two photographs with u...don,t

completed within 1/2 hr time....
And the next process is written test...Let me tel u about the pattern,
TEST PAPER PATTERN: We will have two sections in written test pattern. viz:
1.Apptitude n Reasoning
2.English
1.Apptitude n Reasoning: In this section the time alloted is 45mins for 30 questions.It
consists of,
* 5 ques based on the data given (In our paper we had the data given about colours tht
painted on a six sided cube n ques based on the data)
* 5 ques based on Odd fig out.(A bit easy)
* 5 ques on Data Sufficiency.
* 5 ques on Data Interpretation.(Learn abt. Bar charts,Pie charts,line graphs,etc...)

help of a table n in our paper it was a bit difficult)
* 5 ques based on 9 rules of Syllogism.(plz learn the 9 rules of syllogism from
R.S.Agarwal perfectly so tht u can answer thm very easily)
The way i have answered was...first i answered data related ques i.e,abt the cube colours

* 7 ques based on filling with an appropriate word.(Better to start with this)
* 6 ques based on paragraph n inferences(easy)
On the whole,the paper is not tht much hard to tackle but our reading speed n
understanding power plays an important role...Let me tel how I have ansewered it in
time...first i started with filling the appropriate word,next correcting underlined phrases n
thn paragraph inferences n thn correction of sentences....n thn i was left with 10
mins...now i read the questions n the options given for comprehension n thn i searched
for the answers in the given passage....so in this way I was able to answer most of the
ques given...in this way i was able to answer my paper within time...whenever u feel a
ques is a bit difficult plz leave it n go for the next one...don,t waste even a single second...
Our test was completed by 1:20 n our results were announced at 5:30p.m n thn v had our
HR interview immediately....a total of 51 members out of 150,were selected from our
colg after the written test. Now let me share my HR interview experience....
HR Interview:
There was time after announcing the written test results...so I was a bit tensed but not
much (bcoz i was already selected for another company) n whn i entered the room, I
wished the interviewer with a pleasant smile n he too n asked me to take the seat...first he
started with technical quetions based on Microprocessors n thn on Operating Systems...i
was able to answer most of thm....all the questions were based on purely basics of the
subject...next he asked me to choose a general topic n speak on it...I hav choosen Child
Labour as my topic n I was able to perform well bcoz i always participate in debate n
elocution competitions....thn he gave me a paper whr a situation was given n i shud find
the place whr actually the problem arised n thn how could i help to solve it whn i was in
tht position....i gave him two solutions but he want something else more...i was unable to
give another solution but he made me to tel tht solution by giving me the hints....and at l
last he asked me whether u hav any queries...i asked him abt wht exacctly is Global
Delivery Model(GDM) tht is followed by Infosys...n thn how is the performance
appraisal done in the company n the last ques is whether i hav any chance of doing my
MBA in future...he answered to all the ques n i said thnk u n thn he said thnk u n u can
leave......I was not fully satisfied with wht i answered but I was satisfied with my body
language bcoz i was smiling pleasantly throughtout my interview.....this is an important
thingh to remember...even if u r tensed be cool n perform well....At last the final results
were announced at 9:30 p.m. n when my name was read I felt really happy...21 members

General - other - 14 May 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 14th MAY
hi everyone, my name is anubhav sinha , a student of chemical engg. at NIT surat . on
14th of may 2007 i got selected in infosys... and i would love to share the experience with
all of you.
that day we all saw the ppt by the company and the most interesting part of it was the
video of their mysore campus... it was excellent .also they showed us a record of
tremendous growth prospects in infosys and so many of us ,sat for infosys although it was
offering 2.7 lpa only initially..
so let me now come to the question paper part. their were 2 papers - paper 1 was of logic ,
reasoning and paper 2 of english .i am giving a detailed description of both these papers.
paper1 : it was of 30 marks and of duration 30 minutes ..no. of questions were 30.
question 1 was of a cube painted with 3 different colours on opposite faces and of side
15cm , each side cut into 5 equal parts there were questions like
how many cubes will have 3 faces painted?
how many cubes will not be painted ?
total five questions were there regarding cubes.
next 5 questions were of non verbal reasoning where you are given different figures
ina particular order and you are asked to find the missing figure . they were easy ... need
not worry !
then 5 questions from data intepretion . a simple table was given and very easy 5
questions were asked .... then 5 questions were from data sufficiency .a good knowledge
of geometry was required for 2 of these questions ..rest 3 were only logical .. easy ones
then 5 ques. were from blood relations . for this ques, i will advice u to make tree
diagram bcoz there will be 7-8 names ..... tree diag . will make it easy .
and last 5 questions were syllogisms .. use venn diagram approach for this... these will be
easy too .dont worry .
so , overall logical paper will be easy and you should try to score 25 or above in it
although mine was 20 !!!( remember NO NEGATIVE MARKING )
next comes the tough part ..English paper .. 40 questions - 35 minutes -1 mark each it
will have a long comprehension ,followed by a short comprehension . ( 5 marks each )(
NEVER START FROM THESE 2) 3rd question will be "correct the phrases" (START
FROM HERE )( 10 marks) followed by 10 " fill in the blanks " type . this part will be
easier (ALTHOUGH NOT EASY) .
next there will be 5 questions of the type where you are given 4 statements A,B,C and D
and you have to form a meaningful paragraph .( BE CAUTIOUS HERE ) this part can
bring differences . last 5 will also be interesting . a sentence will be given and out of 4
ways given ,in which this sentence can be written ,you will have to chose the correct one
.
(OPTIONS WILL BE VERY CLOSE AND SENTENCES WILL BE LONG SO U
WILL HAVE TO READ VERY FAST .) NO NEGATIVE MARKING HERE ALSO SO
ATTEMPT ALL THE QUES. my score in this section 27/40.
so a good thing occured with me that mine was the first name to be called out in the list
of shorlisted students for interview.... !!!! out of 150 (approx. ) they took 75 for
interview.
as i entered the interview room , i wished my interviewer and with his permission took
my seat.. he asked for my resume and without asking for my intro. told me with a smile "
so,mr. anubhav , you have done very good in your paper " . my paper was kept there only
and i saw my marks ..!!!!!! so he started with my family and asked about my parents
, and my siblings . i had 87 % in class 10 and 70% in class 12 .. he asked me the reason .
i told the truth that i didn,t used to study economics , computer and english literature ...
that is why i have ess marks .. he was satisfied ... them he asked why i have 6 pointer in
1st year and 8.5 pointer consistently from 2nd year onwards ... i told him that sir, i
prepapred for and qualified in IITJEE 2005 , but i refused b.arch offered to me in IIT
kharagpur bcoz i didn,t like it .. i wanted to do b.tech ..... he was happy to know this ..
next he asked me 3 puzzles ..
puzzle 1: if i have 3 daughters and each daughter has a brother , how many kids do i
have?? ( ans: 4)
puzzle 2: there is a pole 12 feet long and its shadow is 3 feet long.. if the height of the
pole increases to 20 feet , will the shadow increase or decrease ???? ( i confidently said
decrease only to realize later that it will increase )
puzzle 3: suppose i work in a process industry and i come to know that after 3 days i am
going to have a [power cut of 4 , 8, 6,6,6, hours resp. on each onsecutive day , how will i
handle this ???
this was the end of my interview and he said ", that was nice meeting you " after a few
hours results were anounced and 74 were finally selected
so take a word of advice , try to do well in your paper . if you do good in your paper and
are selected you are already 90% in ..!!!

General - Interview Mahindra College of Engg, Salem - 6 June 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 6th JUNE
I am from Erode Sengunthar Engg college,Erode atended Infosys Off-campus at
Mahindra Engg College, Salem on 5 and 6th of June 2007 and selected for Infosys.I will
give you my experiences and opinions.I think Infosys is not very tough ,the matter is to
clear the written test.
WRITTEN TEST--The written test have been changed at Infosys. It`s not like the one at the last years
containing mostly puzzles, it`s now containing only questions on Data Sufficiency, Data
Interpretation, Syllogism, paragraph and the like but no any single puzzle or maths-aps
question. The question pattern is
Logical Reasoning - 30 questions - 40 mins
Verbal Reasoning - 40 questions - 35 mins
The time for logical reasoning is more enough but the time for verbal reasoning is not
well enough so try to manage the time in verbal reasoning. The verbal
reasoning contains two paragraph questions containing each five questions from the
respective paragraph.while answering paragraph questions first study the questions and
search the answer inthe paragraph which may save you some amount of time. verbal
reasoning also contains correcting scentences(grammatical mistakes) and choosing the
correct synonymns etc.For logical reasoning r.s.agarwal`s non verbal reasoning book is
enough.the nine rules of syllogism given r.s.agarwal`s is very useful for answering
syllogism questions, it fetch you atleast one mark.
HR INTERVIEW
Infosys campus interview have only two rounds . the written test and HR interview.I have
been selected for HR interview along with other 30 members.(31 members were selected
from 654 members at the written test so,be careful at Infosys, Written test is the

General - Interview AMC Engg College, Bangalore - 8 May 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 8th MAY AT BANGALORE
Hi friends, This is Adith,
Infosys came to our college for on campus recruitment but it was not just for our college
but also for 6 other colleges and itz called pool campus Complete recruitment process
was finished in 1 day and it was done in a well organized manner. There were around 500
students who wrote the aptitude test out of which around 90 students got through the
aptitude test. Finally around 60 out of 90 students who attended the interview got the job.
Now i will brief about my experience,
The aptitude test consists of 2 sections Logical Reasoning and English. First, the logical
reasoning paper will be given which contains 30 questions and the time given is 35 mins.
Next the english paper will be given which consists of 40 questions and the time given is
35mins.
The two question papers will be given separately and you dont have have to worry much
about time management for different sections since you will be attempting the two papers
one after the other separately. The reason they conduct this way is becoz they are looking
at our skills separately and they give preference to English score. We were asked to keep
our application form on top and then the english answer sheet and then logical reasoning
answer sheet at the bottom.
As far as the logical reasoning was concerned it was quite a normal paper and r.s
aggarwal wil be sufficient to do it well. Honestly i dint prepare from any book but for
those of you who like to prepare, the book i mentioned will be more than enough. there is
no negative marking and plzz attempt all the questions. I dint do this section great but i
was confident that i would be able to clear the cut offs which i guess was around 15.
Now, english paper is tuff and has all sorts of questions including comprehension, fill in
the blanks, to find out the grammatically correct sentence etc. now people you have to be
fast and dont do the passages in the beginning but come to it in the end. once again attend
all the question as there is no negative marking. This English paper is important, so do it
well. Well english needs good vocabulary, reading speed, ability to comprohend a certain
given material etc. i did this English paper really well as i love English and i am always
comfortable with this section. I guess the english cut off was 20+.
Altogether the aptitude paper is definitely standard especially the English part.
The aptitude test finished at 2 pm. the results were announced at around 4pm. The only
other round and the final round was HR. so people, this is your chance and dont spoil it.
they simply dont ask even a single technical question but definitely they are looking at
good communication skills, confidence and personality.
My interview was at around 5pm and it was like this
ME: may i come in?
HR: plz come in ... take your seat (dont sit until he tells you to)
ME: good afternoon sir
HR: thank you
HR: so adith introduce yourself.....
ME: introduced myself (i did this with great confidence, i told a bit about myself, my
family, my background and my schooling and college and in the end of introduction i
gave him a quote in which i completely believe in , Henry Ford said "IF YOU THINK
YOU CAN DO SOMETHING OR IF YOU THINK YOU CANT DO SOMETHING,
EITHER WAY YOU ARE CORRECT")
HR: (quite impressed with my introduction he went on to ask ) So adith tell me
something about your college life apart from academics
ME: answered this (told him about my passion towards having great personality, about
being a leader in a certain group etc etc, one can also mention if he or she has taken part
in co-curricular activities etc)
HR: have you done any other corse apart from your academics
ME: answered this (i told him about my dot net course that i did from niit)
HR: ok tell me adith WHY SHOULD INFOSYS HIRE YOU?
ME: answered this yet again with great confidence (told him everything about my
personality traits, gave him enough positive points about myself and finally i went on to
say that i deserve the job in every way)
HR:ARE YOU READY WORK ANYWHERE IN INDIA?
ME: YES (you dont have an option, if you want to get placed you have to say yes )
HR: (was completely convinced and smiled and said) THANK YOU ADITH . DO YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US?
ME: i asked him about the system followed in infosys to evaluate an employee,s
performance (i asked this question specifically as i indirectly wanted to give him a clue
that i wanted to join them and perform well and hence wanted to know )
HR: answered my question
ME: i said THANK YOU
HR: again smiling , offered a hand shake
ME: happily shaked hand (who wouldnt do this?)
ME: again said thank you (i put the chair back in its place and left the interview room
Atlast my interview was over and i was very happy when i came out. Although i was
confident i will be offered the job, i kept my fingers crossed until the results were
announced. At 9pm the results were announced and when they read my name ......... i was
simply blown away and felt on top of the world......... couldnt beleive it for a few minutes
and then the feeling started exploding. IT WAS A GREAT MOMENT
THE ONLY THING I WANT TO TELL YOU ALL "FEEL GOOD...................FEEL
GOOD...................FEEL GOOD" SO ALL THE VERY BEST FRIENDS, WHO
ATTEND INFOSYS PLACEMENT IN FUTURE
WE WILL MEET IN INFOSYS

General - other GMRIT College, Rajam, Vizag - 19 May 2007 INFOSYS
PAPER ON 19th MAY
INFOSYS PAPER ON 19th MAY
Hi INFI aspirants!
We had INFOSYS off-campus drive on 19th may at GMRIT College , Rajam. Abt 680
students attended, from 5 colls . We were 150 from our coll ‘Vignan Intitute of
Information Technology’.
It started wid a pp abt INFOSYS….
Before the written test, we had to fill a form. Be careful not to round off ur %s. Basic
details were asked ….. marks, coll, eye sight, passport….. don’t make any mistakes.Carry
at least 4 passpt.size photos and 3 resumes (pic stuck; ur sign with date n place).
The Recruitment process has just two rounds:
1. Written test.
2. HR interview.
Written test
Coming to the written test, it has two sections:
1. Logical Reasoning – 30 Questions (45 min).
2. Communicative English – 40 Questions (30 min).
ts pretty easy to crack the logical reasoning paper if u can prepare a few topics…all from
the book ‘verbal and non-verbal reasoning- R.S.Aggarwal ‘.
My paper……
5Q on cubes.
There were some statements detailing about colors on a cube, we should use them to
analyze and answer some q’s. Carry an ‘eraser’ so that u can use it as a cube to
answer this faster.
5Q - picture problems (identifying the odd one in a series).
5Q – data sufficiency.
5Q – data interpretation.
Ull find this topic in R.S.Agarwal – Quant book…last chapter.
5Q – puzzle test.
Very confusing…needs lot of analysis and practice…consumes significant time.
5Q – syllogisms.
Ull find this in chapter -1 of unit -2. There will be 9 rules, this is a bit tough. Work
out the exercises, ull sense the usual pattern in answering them.
Now, about the English paper, there’s no specific book………if u have a habit of reading
books, it really helps. I didn’t prepare for this, but could do well.
10Q - Two reading comprehensions (big, small). It’s strictly advisable to do them in the
end. I just had 7 min to do this….. u don’t have to read the whole passage to answer the
qs…. A quick glance is enough. Smaller RC had reasoning qs so u must read it……but
the bigger one had direct qs.
7Q – completion of sentences.
7Q – fill the appropriate word.
10Q – correction of sentences (tenses r tested).
6Q – paragraph inferences (a para is given and qs were asked abt it).
10Q – choose the correct sentence (a bit confusing, a couple of them seemed too similar).
I answered all the qs in order, except RC, which I did at last.
Everybody can answer all the Qs if given ample time…….TIME MANAGEMENT is the
success mantra. English paper is considered first, LR paper is evaluated only if u cross
the cut-off. There is lot of elimination in written…….only some 120 could clear, out of
680.
HR interview
Usually INFOSYS does not have any technical round, but out of the 6 panels we had…..
one panel’s HR asked technical qs. Technical test in INFI is rare.
One common Q in all panels was – Speak about a topic (any) for 2 min.
The HR examines the written papers, resumes and app. form filled earlier…… of the
candidate before he/she enters the room. He, by the time u enter, analyses the candidate n
decides how he/she needs to be tackled.
Regarding mine………
Me: May I come in sir?
HR: yes come in.
Me: good evening sir
HR: good evening ………take ur seat.
HR: well Roopa…….. wat is ur father…….wat is his work at steel plant (he is working
there).
Me: blah blah…I told him…..
HR: so u r from IT…… let me ask u some qs relating to IT. He asked me some qs
relating to OS and microprocessors.
I’m well acquainted abt these topics, so cud answer well. He kept helping if i missed
some points.
He asked me to speak abt a topic ……. I started a topic but he interrupted and said that I
should be strong abt the aim of the topic……. as his choice, he asked me to speak abt the
then Punjab disputes or Presidential elections……when he saw me feeling
uncomfortable….. asked me if I could speak abt ‘indiscipline in my coll’….. I could do
this pretty well.
I first started wid the various kinds of indispl actions…… why they r unacceptable…….
Some measures to keep a check on them…. Finally abt indiscipline in my coll in a
positive tone.
I had to handle a case study:
Mr. Smarty is a member of a team, working on a project in a software company.
U r part of the team. Smarty is the person who mediates between the client and the
team……..but he keeps changing the preferences conveyed by the client……as a result
the team is unable to start the work. Is Smarty edgy?
HR: wat kind of person is he ……..
Me: he is uncertain and edgy….
HR: Wat would u suggest to solve this……..
I gave him three answers…..out of them the apt one, which he wanted was……. I shall
escort him, when he meets the client and then discuss wid the other team members for a
collective opinion on the preferences, to start the project……. He looked satisfied.
He lastly asked if had any queries…….. I asked some qs regarding the growth of infi and
about its CMM levels…..
HR: thank u roopa.u can leave.
While answering any Q, the HR measures Learnability, he keeps hinting abt wat he wants
actually…… simple puzzles were also asked in some panels…. Have clear ideas abt
hobbies, strengths and weakness (n wat u write in ur resume)………we need to be ready
with an explanation.
Finally, from our college…..21 got selected out of 50.
LUCK plays an important role in any recruitment process.
I firstly thank my parents n friends for their unconditional support… secondly my coll,
for the crt classes...and this website…………for making me an INFOSCION. I wish all
my Batchmates, GREAT SUCCESS in the near future.!!!
I hope my contribution really helps

General - other DVRCET, Medak - 4 June 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 4th JUNE
This is Anirudh from bvrit .fortunately placed in infosys ! I would like to share my
experiences in the infosys interview which was conducted at DVR college on 4th June
2007.
Well the written test as always in infosys pattern has two sections …
Aptitude and verbal Ability
The TEST
Aptitude Test
2 puzzles…..each 5 marks ……so 10 marks here
5 questions on data interpretation …we got a pie chart
5 questions on data sufficiency
10 questions on syllogisms.
the secret is time management and planning
First answer the 10 syllogisms perfectly,then come to data sufficiency and then try to solve
the easy ones involving addition substraction and multiplication in data interpretation..then
if u find some tougher ones in data interpretation move on to the puzzles.
Solve the puzzles if they are easy.Usually at least one puzzle is easy and the other may be
tough. Solve the tougher one after you attempted all other questions in the paper.
Syllogisms are easier and scoring don’t miss out them !Shud get 10 on 10.
But its not veryyyyyyy easy anyways ! bcoz u need to solve 4 of them per question..here I
give an example
Read the given statements in a,b,c,d and choose the right option.. like in which set of
statements the third statement can be derived from the preceeding two
statements….refer wikipedia now for exact meaning of syllogism.. u wll be clear..and
solve the question below to start with..
a. All greens are whites ,some whites are blacks, some greens are blacks
b. Some horses are buffaloes,some buffaloes are mules, some horses are mules
c. Some monitors are keyboards,some keyboards are mice, no mice are monitors
d. No walls are roofs, no roofs are fans,some walls are fans .
1) a,b,c
2) only b,d 3 ) only a 4) b,c,d
The answer is 3 )…..
Attempt first
syllogism
then data sufficiency
then data interpretation ..if u find some difficult ones go for the puzzles
if one puzzle is very time consuming leave it ..make sure u do well for the rest 25 marks..
Verbal Test
2 Reading Comprehension passages..each 5 questions so 10 marks- huge passages almost
1.5 pages
5 questions on Meanings of words in a given sentence
10 questions on correction of sentences
5 questions on conclusion of a paragraph
In RC read the questions first and then go for the passages ..preferably read the first
sentences from each para so that u have an idea wats there in wch para…and then search
for the exact word specified in the question...these are easy to score don’t miss out RC shud
get 10 on 10.
As far as meanings are concerned we can hardly do anything if we have less time.. may be
you should start at least 2 weeks before… aassuming that u havent taken any gre coaching
(like me..i too didnt )
Correction of sentences: concentrate on prepositions used for some verbs..and when to use
plural and singular…..u should be good at grammar…sometimes we feel that all the given
options are correct except for one preposition …so check out these ….these are the toughest
1s in the verbal part
Conclusion of a given paragraph…
This is perhaps the most easiest part in the whole infy test..read the given 3 liners quickly
but with concentration, understand them and answer the conclusion part..u may not find
the exact words of the passage in the options..you only find the idea of the passage in them..
Attempt First :
Meanings of words in a sentence …..next
Passages…don’t read them fully..read the questions, then search in the passage.. then next
Conclusion of paragraphs
Last …correction of sentence..this takes time so do the above 3 sections quickly .
Be quick but solve every bit with gr8 concentration
So all through the test your tag line should be QUICKLY BUT SURELY !!!
THOSE WHO HAVE ENOUGH TIME
VERBAL AND NON VERBAL REASONING BY RS AGARWALL
Should be enuf…assuming ur good at maths i.e quant
HEY GUYS ONE IMPORTANT INFO ---- BEFORE YOU ENTER THE INTERVIEW
ROOM THE INTERVIEWER IS GIVEN YOUR MARKS’ SHEET….SO DO
WELL…JUST QUALIFYING MARKS MAY NOT BE ENOUGH ..THE MORE
MARKS THE MORE SAFE YOU ARE
THE INTERVIEW :
(Be your natural ! Don’t be a hypocrite .don’t act too cautious or too easy…be yourself..
that’s it !. After all you are not a movie star don’t act..b urself )
My interviewer was Mr.X
Always approach with a smile…no one is going to reject you just bcoz ur happy !
I entered the room with a J and
Me :Good evening sir
Mr X : Good evening , hmm take your seat.
Me: Thank you sir.
Mr X: So , both of your parents are working in railways ? why don’t you also try in railways
?
(The infosys application form had info abt my parents occupation..u need to write them in
the form before the test)
Me : Sir, I’ve been professinally trained to be an engineer and I would not do justice to my
acquired knowledge and skills if I join railways just as my parents did.Surely even they
will not be happy if I choose to join railways.
(As expected he asks the next question)
Mr X: Then how do u think that ur electrical enginering skills r justified when u join IT
industry.
Me : Sir,I think engg in any field involves only creativity and innovation..the only
difference is that we apply them differently and in diff applications..and moreover
computer application and simulation is now in almost every field ..even in power systems
IT is applied in SCADA to control power distribution..besides I have been exposed to c &
ds,microprocessors computer architechture in during this enginerring..so I think……
Mr X : Hmm ok… tell about yourself…
I told abbt all my achievements and just briefly told abt my percentages with which I
paassed out.10 inter and that I had tried for iit during inter but could not clear mains so
wrote eamcet…so on.
He then gave me a sheet of paper and asked to select any one topic from a ten in it.. also
he mentioned that if I felt those topics were tough I could turn the other side of the paper
for easier topics…guys this I think is an atitude test..so I never turned the sheet other side
.
may be the other side was blank !! I selected the first topic and he told me to think for 30
seconds and start speaking abt it for 1 minute…..The topic i selected was…..
“ppl leave companies not just for money but for skills and growth”
I think I did well for abt some 50 secs… the last few secs I ran out of ideas and slowed
down and dragged it to the 1 min deadline..its easy guys ur ideas matter ..not the number
of them ..
He asked a simple question about magnetism and also a puzlle from shakuntala devi (it
seems.i never solved her). He will ask you to discuss how u solved the puzzle..
LAST BUT MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT :
MR X: ANY QUESTIONS ??
You can ask about
your growth in the company
career options there
what does a project manager really do other such questions that give him an impression
that ur looking forward to work in infy and so ur asking abt how to prepare b4 u join and
what exactly does ‘working’ mean in infy
DONT ask abt the increment in ur pays and the place of posting
I asked : whats the diff between a project manager and a programme manager ?
I had heard the word program manager for the 1st time in the ppt earlier in the day…
Also I asked about what actually what does a membership in Infosys Leadership Institute
demand.
Infy leadership institute is established at mysore for very efficient infy employees..this was
shown in the ppt earlier in the day.During the ppt make sure you dream something about
what to do after joining infy..so that you remember at this moment to ask him abt it..career
options are always mentioned in the ppts of all companies

3p.m. many of the interview panels asked puzzles and a topic to talk about.
I had the interview at around 10 p.m and i,m the last but one candidate . H.R is an
aged person and is very cool. he asked me the family background first . and then he
asked me take a topic and speak on it . so i took current presidential elections and i
experessed my views of Abdul kalam should not contest further more.
then as i,m frm ece background, he gave a question and it is like this---u r theteam leader
of a team sent to an earthquake hit area for medical help.on ur way a person came and
said that some robbers are looting the tribal women in the near by village . and another
person came and said that there is an accident near by and some people r injured . then
vat is ur response ;
assumptions r allowed:
then i answered i will send 4 to each looting area and injured persons and 2 for
earthquake medical help.
then he asked vat is the primary task vr going for??????
then i changed my opinion and said i would send 4 for earthquake ...then he said i would
tell the logic then u answer it

Infosys recruitment process has two rounds. This is the easiest recruitment process
compared to other companies.
1.WRITTEN TEST.
2.HR INTERVIEW.
WRITTEN TEST
1. Reasoning.
2.verbal section.
Here I will give how i have prepared for Infosys. just take the VERBAL AND NON
VERBAL REASONING BY RS AGARWAL.do the topics like syllogism, cubes and
dice, relations,puzzle test etc. and also do some CAT material (optional).This is more
than enough for reasoning round.before attending the written test also just go through the
models in agarwal book.
Next coming to verbal section . Here they won,t give questions related to vocabulary. this
really fetches us a lot. In my paper they have given Two reading comprehensions and
remaing all related to english grammer.They have given Sentence completion,correction
of sentences,find the gramatically correct sentences among the given options like that.
For this section just go through the grammer books for correction of sentences. In

Whole Testpaper UCoE, Punjabi University, Patiala - 13 June 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 13th JUNE AT PUNJABI UNIVERSITY
Hi Friends, This is Maheep here from UCoE, Punjabi University, Patiala. Infosys
visited our campus on 13th june, 2007 and recruited 87 students out of 219 (shortlisted
126 in written test) who were eligible. Luckily, with Gods grace, i was one of them.
It was a 2-day program:13th - Presentation and written test
14th - HR interviews
Presentation:Listen carefully, whatever the presenter has to offer. From company details to its
structure, company stats. to its latest achievements.......listen v. carefully. Not only it
will tell you about the company but also it will enlighten you on all the traits that it is
lookin 4 in an INFOSCION. It will give you the knowledge that you ought to know about
the company.
Written Test:It consisted of two parts:1.) Logical Aptitude (Verbal and Non-Verbal)
There were a total of 30 questions which we had to do in 40 min. First 5 questions were
on CUBES. A cube was given and its faces were painted with different colours and we
had to answer all 5 of ,em based on the given information.VERY SIMPLE....take this as
a GIFT!!
Next 5 questions were on Figure Matrix..i.e. relating to figures.We had to find from the
options which figure would follow the figure series given in the question....required
spontaneity of mind.Some were easy while others were a bit difficult.
Next 5 were on Data Sufficiency.Again very easy...Take these as a gift!! There was no
direct queston on blood realations as such but it came indirectly in data sufficiency.
Then, next 5 questions were on DI(Data Interpratation). It was very difficult.No
,R.S. Aggarwal, would suffice to crack DI.Must practise from CAT material.
Next 5 were based on a PUZZLE(George J. Summers type).It was easy but timeconsuming.R S Aggarwal would suffice.
Last 5 questions were the easiest of the lot. It was on Deductive Logic (Syllogism). Free
marks coming your way!!
NOTE: no QUANT.
All in all the paper wasnt that tough but it required a hell lot of concentration.No doubt,
anyone would have solved it if given unlimited time.But then again its the time contraint
that makes a difference.Concentration and Spontaneity of mind are the key words to
focus upon. Jus go through the above topics from ,Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, by
R.S. Aggarwal.
I think 2 days of hard work is more than enough to do these many topics. (I myself spent
jus 2 days on it!!!)
2.) English
I, personally, found it easy.But since i have to go with the majority, yeah people had
problems answering these questions. I think if u read newspapers and converse in Eng.
regularly i dont think it should turn out to be a hurdle. It had 40 questions which we had
to do in 30 min. More or less, CAT pattern.2 RCs(total of 10 questions) and rest were all
contextual based questions like ,to find the most appropriote from the option.........,
Still if you had to prepare something revise Tenses and Prepositions from ,Wren and
Martins,
MY personal expereince - u dont need more than 2 days to prepare for its
test.(CONSTANT and SINCERE effort each day should do the trick!!)
HR Inerviews:There were 6 panels, each had its own way of taking the interview.If one was stressing on
Puzzles, the other bothered with GK and Curent Affairs.One was also goin towards
technical side(just on basics..need not worry!!) while the other was stuck with ur resume
and hobbies.
Which panel in store for you was on luck!!! i got the panel that stressed upon puzzles and
resume.
few questions he asked:Introduce yourself?
Family background? Your father,s qualification?
questionnaire on your achievements?
Then he gave me a situation that if i were to organize a declamation contest, how will i?
Asked a bit about hobbies.
Then he gave me 2 puzzles(1 was a situation and the the other was an alphanumeric
problem like we have in CAT)
Note: no puzzles were from Shakuntala Devi (if you are smart they are OVERsmart!!!!)
then he asked me if i had any questions from my side.
To be honest, SELF-BELIEF CONFIDENCE COMMUNICATION SKILS are the key
words to crack an INFY interview.
They dont stress on your technical knowledge (they know they will make you technically
sound durin trainin) Whatever happens you jus dont have to lose your cool.Jus stay calm
an answer confidently.
Remember 2 things:
DONT FEIGN INTELLIGENCE.
HONESTY IS THE ONLY(and not BEST) POLICY
Anyways, that jus does it as far as my experience goes.

General - other Cochin University of Science and Technology - 27 July
2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 27th JULY AT KOCHI
Hi…am Salman Ali..doin my 7th sem in B.Tech,I.T at Cochin University of Science and
Technology, Kochi ,Kerala. InfoSys had com to our college last Friday,27.07.07….am so
happy that with the Almighty`s grace I was able to turn that day into another Good
Friday..
As u must hav read de other experiences…Infy exam is very simple. All u require is som
gud concentratn,time management and ofcourse good preparation.. For preparation I
mainly read the experiences many others hav posted at FRESHERSWORLD.COM which
helped me tremendously…So let me say…”Jai FreshersWorld!!!!”……
Then as per their advices I went for Verbal n Nonverbal by R.S Agarwal….Also for a
few sections I used I.M.S CAT notes which also helped me heavily…O.k,lets start…
Written test contains 2 parts…
1.logical
2.English
The logical part consists of 6 type of Questions each having 5 q`s…The types are
1.Data interpretation
2.Data Sufficiency
3.Syllogisms
4.Pictorial Q`s
The other two might b anything from Puzzles,Blood relation Q`s, Cubes n Dices.
As for Data interpretatn,it takes gud amt of time,so it wud be best done at last. Topics like
Data Sufficiency n Syllogisms I covered from I.M.S notes…Syllogisms do not come as
they r seen in agarwal…they give a pack of 6 sentences from which u hav to select the
appropriate 2 statements n a conclusion. answer contains 4 options lik abd,cef,eba..etc
etc…its very very simple. all u hav to do is go from the answers using trial and error
method….
data suff. Q`s com from any part of aptitude. so u hav to b fast in
applying your brains to c if the statements r suff or not. its not necessary 2 find the
answer…tak care of time…
Pictorial Q`s may b to find the odd one or to find the missing figure. Both are very well
given in agarwal(verbal n nonverbal).
For us the first ques was tat card game called Flash..its simple but takes time.i had
already done one of them from my I.M.S material(Logical Reasoning).Luckily for me,the
same q came.he he he..the answers were (1)74
(2) 26
(3)
18
(4)16 (5){9,9,10}…………..
The final type was related to relations…as in…5 friends stayin in different societies and
each of them having a different bank account…and the q`s wer lik who has a acc
wher,who lives in society X…..etc etc..it simple….
All u hav to do is tak care of ur time…40 mins for 30 q`s…b in touch wth ur watch…
Now for the English part which is 35 mins for 40 q`s…pls dnt go for the passages..keep
them for the end…the other q`s are correcting sentence,fill in ,concluding a para etc
etc..if u r week in English try out the verbal(agarwal)..I.M.S notes also help..otherwis it
shouldn’t b a problem..its simple..but time consuming..so again..tak good good care of ur
time….Try answering all..dont think thers negative marking…so mak it a blast…
Then the H.R…I was de first one to attend…it was simple…jus casual talk…actually my
H.R was so cool tat I forgot it was an intervw..very relaxed..jus had a natural
conversantn….
And all praise to the Almighty I was one among the 25 selected…47 from 329 had passed
the written….really njoyd cz I had not even told my parents abt the exam tat day..so it
was a total surprise dhamaka…..yeaaaaahhh!!!!!
nothin technical was askd…prepare for the exam well…not by reading the whole of
agarwaal,but by going thru the required topics

Aptitude - General Punjab Engineering College,Chandigarh - 11
September 2007
Hi friends...........
I am Yuvraj Agnihotri from Punjab engineering college,Chandigarh. I
am selected for Infosys,so i jst want to share my experience and knowledge wid u ppl
,wch will help u a lot if u r interested in joining this cmpany.
Frankly speaking, its not such a rocket science, it is only the hard work for a day or two...
and u r selected.
Process:
1) Written paper
2) Interview
-----------------------------------1) Now,written paper is divided into two parts.. mainly Aptitude and Verbal ability.
Aptitude
------ 30 Questions------ 40 minutes
Verbal ability(VA) ------ 40 Questions------ 35 minutes
---> Our "Aptitude" paper was above average level,I mean,it was a bit time consuming.
Actually it was a good aptitude paper.
I selected easiest of questions first and answerd thm.. thn accordingly, I solved some
more,in order of their increasing difficulty level. but frankly speaking,I was able to solve
about 16-18 questions in the regulation time. Rest I made guesses( always do it,if
negative marking is not thr). U will clear the cut off without mch difficulty,if u hv
genuine understanding. Other option is read R.D.Sharma(i hd nt read it).
Then our "Apti" paper was taken,and "VA" Q. paper ws given to us.
---> Now,this paper consist of 2 reading comprehensions & rest Sentence making &
Simple grammer.
I attempted reading comp. in the end as they r generally time consuming and less scoring.
So,first do the easy part,then the difficult one. This paper was comparitively easier than
previous one. No need to do extra to clear this one.
**NOTE--- Each paper hs its individual cut-off.
After 1.5 hrs,our results wer out. Out of 110 students,about 73 wer shortlisted for
inerviews.
2) We hd 6 panels in total. One person in each panel. Interviews r basically of HR type.
Whr u will b asked to describe urself,abt the newspaper u read,something related to ur
interest,may be some puzzles(not tough) etc.
My interview ws basically the "stressed" one type. Whr I ws put under sme sort
of pressure(rude behaviour etc,it depends on ur luck and panel). My hobby ws music and
singing,so i ws asked abt music and even to sing a song(wch i sung well..) .
overall,it ws a typical HR interview.
If u hv confidance,u will clear it easily. Be cool during interview (sp during solving a
puzzle). My interview ws a stressed 15 min HR interview. (All other panals were
relatively cool and calm.)

Whole Testpaper - 21 July 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 21st JULY
HI FRIENDS,
I AM SWATHI FROM GNITS , GOT PLACED INTO INFY , N I HOPE THIS PAGE
HELPS U ALL
TEST PATTERN:
1. APTITUDE and VERBAL
2. HR
NOTE :(we were given an application form of infy we were asked to write it before the
exam had started)
APTITUDE:
All questions were of REASONING type -----30 questions(R.S Aggarwal reasoning book
is more than enough)
here time management is very important
One question was time consuming for me and
that was from the puzzle test so be prepared wid all 7 models of PUZZLE TEST
we had DATA INTETERPRETATION and as i couldnt solve the 1st question properly i
had to solve this
so dont waste time for the questions u cannot solve instead do the one which is easier n
refer(r s aggarwal quantitative aptitude for this)
mostly bar charts,tables and pi charts are given(we were given a table)
5 questions were from FIGURES
we were given 3 figures followed by a ,?,
in this the 1st two figures are have some relationship b/w them n based on that we hav to
pick an answer figure which matches the 3rd figure
this was an easy one
5 questions were from SYLLOGISM
this was a bit different from wht i thought
they give 5 statements naming them a,b,c,d,e
then the answers choices were like 3 were paired eg:1)abe 2)dbe 3)aeb 4)dae
n we hav to find the pair which corretly matchs it if u do r.s aggarwal n r perfect wid all
rules of syllogism i dont thing this would b tough
5 questions were of DATA SUFFICIENCY type
i felt this was easy
the questions i remember were from mensuration,length of train,ages of people
thts it in this part, we were not told the cutoff but i think its better to try for atleast 20 out
of 30
VERBAL:
40 questions were there
i scored 24 marks
there were 2 RCs one was of 2 pages i attempted in the last 5 min but i did it well i
believe
then we had
correction of sentences
fill in the blank with correct word
around 5to 6 passages for which we had go choose the correct summary
u hav to read these very fast
time management is very very imp. here
do not waste even one min looking here and there coz tht one min costs a loooooooot
finally i was called my name for HR n i was on the top of the world
i actually got thru wipro also but the joy of getting into a dream company is just great
one should definately experience it
HR:
One important thing is tht dont think tht its just HR
u should always remember tht there is one more hurdle to pass
in my 1st interview i hav learnt a lot "wht to do n wht not to do in the HR round" so if u
hav not yet been placed then first analyze why tht has happened n try to improve on that
coz there r huge oppertunities in this world
some way or the other u can get thru once u improve on ur flaws
so be confident and dont be jelous abt the ones who hav already got its a very bad thing
My HR round was coool
HR: come in swathi
me: yes sir
HR: cmon take ur seat
me: thank u sir (he had asked my resume and asked me to sign on it n also at few places
on the application form)
HR: so ur father works as so n so
me: yes sir
HR: so where does he work
me: said
HR: do u hav ny bros or siss
me: said
HR: whr did he do his scholling
me: said (so be prepared wid ur family members, details also)
HR: so ur hobbies r travelling n music
me: yes sir
HR: whre hav u travelled
me: said a lot of places in India n i mentioned tht i like cold places
HR: k then which was the coldest place u saw
me: shillong in winter, then comes munnar
HR: so would there b snow fall fall
me: (me sadly)no sir yet to see such a place once
HR: do u like travelling coz of ur fathers transferable job
me: no sir even otherwise i never miss a chance to travel
HR: he gave me 3 topics and asked me to speak on 1
me: spoke abt supermarket (he was impressed)
HR: is there an incident in ur life whr u hav improved or had to changed ur work culture
me: said
HR: then she asked me abt my paper presentation(it was on face detection which comes
under AI)
HR: how would u explain to a 7th class kid abt AI
me: i definately had an answer for tht so i answered n i think he was happy wid my
answer
HR: k swathi there r 6 matchsticks here arrange them so that "each one touches one
another"
me : i could make 5 to touch each other but not the 6th one
HR: then he asked me to make 4 equlateral triangles with those sticks
me: (the answer is to make a pyramid out of it)i almost did it then he sait to leave it aside
HR: k so wht sports do u play
me: i enjoy playing badminton and these days i hav started playing TT too n i njoy tht too
HR: do u hav ny questions
me: asked 2 questions n he had answered them very patiently
HR: k then u can leave now and cal the next person and ALL the Best

was asked(sorry i dont remember)
2) Questions 5 to 10 were on the figures , 3 figures will be given and u have to spot the
next figure.
U can get these questions from classifications chapter in R S Agarwal(non
verbal reasoning)
3) Questions 10-15 were on data sufficiency(RS Agarwal section 1 verbal and non
verbal)
4) Questions 15-20 were on data interpretation ,some pie chart was given and
questions were asked on that.(data interpretation RS agarwal
quantitative aptitude book)
5) Questions 20-25 were on questions like u need to contruct a table and fill in the date
to answer such question.(I would suggest u to do the
entire puzzle test chapter in the RS agarwal verbal n non verbal reasoning book
perfectly)
6) Questions 25-30 were syllogisms, they were not the regular syllogism,s like
2 statements will be given and u need to derive a conclusion , 6
statements were given and u need to find out the corect combination of the sentences
which form a sense.
These type of problems can be found in RS agrawal(verbal n non verbal ssection 2 logic) do all of them.
Blood relations,number ranking sequence ,series , cubes and dices are very important
although they were not asked for us....
ENGLISH EXAM: 40 questions 30 mins
If ur basics are strong then no need to go through any books , yeah but if u want to have
practice then try to solve the problems of wren and martin grammer n composition
(prepositions, tenses,direct and indirect speech,conditions statements)
2 RC,s will be given , dont start with this , time will not be sufficient...
start with other sections like sentence corection(10 Q,s) , fill with appropriate word (10
Q,s), deriving conclusion from the passages(10 Q,s).
some people wuld suggest to solve CAT problems for this but i personally feel that the
questions given were not even close to the CAT standard....they were very simple.
But yeah u can go thru the correct usage of the tenses and prepostions from the CAT
material...
We waited for 2 hrs and after that the results were declared , i was shortlisted..
HR INTERVIEW:
Try to stay very cool and calm , i know that it is very tough but just try to b e relaxed.
Don,t panic b4 the interviewer , just consider them as ur frends or consider him as a
person who doesnt know anything and u are explaining to him!! Keep smiling and be
confident , they look at ur confidence....They will have a look at ur resume and then ask
questions from them , will give u a sheet of paper in which there will be 5 topics u have
to choose one and speak on that topic , one real time problem will be given and how do u
face that...and finally puzzles will be asked..
be prepared with topics like IT companies growth , which sectors in india are considered
to develop in the next few years....If u have organized any event then they will ask u
about that event n the difficulties faced in that event and how did u overcome it?? few
puzzles will be given like
1)how can u make 5 one rupee coins to touch each other...every coin shud touch
the other 4 coins...
2) U are given a 3 containers 20 liters , 5 liters and 3 liters and the 20 litre can is full of
milk , u need to get 4 liters of milk somehow by using all the containers..
3) 6 match sticks will be given u need to contruct a structure such that it has 4 equilateral
triangles...ans is contruct a pyramid with base as triangle
Guys be careful about ur hobbies , one of my frends said that his hobby was volleyball
and immediately the HR person asked doubts like what is the weight of the ball ,
dimentions of the court and height of net etc.....the interviewer is just trying to annoy u by
asking these questions , dont panic and say confidently that u dont know!
or else u learn every thing about ur hobbies....I am a fan of tennis so b4 going to the
interview i learned that weight of the tennis ball is 57g and height of the net is 36 inches
in the middle and 42 at the ends , the different courts and etc....

reamember this many of us went wrong here itself)and some conditions are give like this
J lower then k
H is highest note
E was higher den F
I some where between E and F
and dey gave some condt abt G also i dont remember it preperly if u take this data if u
will get position of only H and u will be knowing only dat E and F will not come together
and I lies somewhere between dem it means that there may be another noteses between E

be good with time management!!!
The aptitude paper was divided into2 parts..
1)reasoning
2)verbal
Reasoning:
In this section v had 30 quest.. and 40 min to solve them..This paper was given first!!
Q1-Q5: These questions were based on cubes as in if the opposite sides of the cube are
painted with the same colour and the 3 colours which are used are red,green and
yellow,and the cubes is cut into parts then how many pieces would be red,yellow ,etc..
Q6-Q10: This set of questions was based on finding the missing figure...could be solved
with jus a little presence of mind.
Q11-Q15: The questions here were based on Data Sufficiency.Each question coved a
different area of quant,like one was on S.I,C.I and the other on profit and loss .etc...
Q16-20: This set was of DI...and all the 5 questions were based on one tabular
column...(was quite tough)
Q21-25: Now this was a perfect reasoning question...as in there are 4 subjects and five
ppl..if A had taken up biology and anthropology and B had only biology,C had anotomy
and science D had only science and E had biology,anthropology and anotomy,then how
many mim ppl are required so as all the subjects are covered...and so on..
Q26-30: these questions were based on syllogisms..jus be perfect with the 9 rules of
syllogisms..(quite an easy one).
Verbal:
It consisted of 40 questions and they had to be solved in 30 min!!(time management is
very imp!!) Here v had 2 reading comprehension passages..
The first one was really long... and the second one was short..BUT i chose NOT TO Start
with them..casue they would actually take away a lot of time where in there were only 5
questions under each passage!!
Moving on to the other questions, there were correction of sentences,fill in the right
tense,suitable conclusion of the passage..(all the questions were very simple..)
After getting done with these get onto the reading comprehension..start off with the small
passage first!,then if u hav time left u can move over to the big passage!!
The cut offs for each section was arnd 15 -17 ..(approx..)
Once you clear the aptitide,and face the HR round with confidence ,good communication

Whole Testpaper Trichy anna university - 28 October 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 28th OCTOBER AT TRICHY
Hi to everyone.My name is Felix ,from trichy. I attended infosys offcampus interview on
october 28th in ANNA UNIVERSITY CAMPUS,Trichy.1224 students attendedt he test.
The first round had 2 sections:
Logical Reasoning section:
Here u need to answer 30 questions in 40 mins.
The CUT-OFF was 15 out of 30.
First have a point in mind.There is NO NEGATIVE MARKING.So attend all the
questions.
Dont strike any option in answer sheet and overwrite again.Because it wont be treated as
an answer.It will be omitted.
This section was very easy.But needs practice.Refer Non-verbal and verbal reasoning by
R.S.Agarwal book.Similar models with clear explanation is given in that book.
Okay now let me recollect some questions which i got in the test.
Que 1to 5:we can complete the 1st 5 questions in 3mins. very very simple. it was like
finding the direction.
eg.1.A boy walks 40 km north and then walks 50km towards east.then turns right and
walks 30km and then turns right and walks 50km.Now what is the distance between this
point and the starting place?
Ans:10km
2.A boy walks some distance towards north and then turns right,walks some
distance.After walking some time he turns left and walks some distance and then walks
some dist and then he walks at an angle of 45degree towards right and then turns to his
left and walks.Towards Which direction was he walking finally?
Ans:North-west
3.A man walks 10km towards west.Then which of the combinations will take him to the
original starting position?
Options:a)left,left,right b)left,right,right c)right,left,right d)right,right,right
Ans:d)right,right,right
Other 2 questions i dont remember.But was very simple like this only.
Ques 6 to 10:Here 5 pictures are given and are logically related.3rd picture was
missing.It was pretty tough than i expected.I went without preparation for these type of
questions.Better u practice some questions like this.Then u will get idea.All these practise
is just for saving time only because u will attend all questions if 1hour time is given.But
here u need to attend 30questions in 40 mins.Sopractice sincerely atleast 1week before
the test.
11 to 15:Data sufficiency
Refer data sufficiency chapter in R.S.Agarwal(Verbal and non-verbal).Thats more than
enough.
The pattern was like
a)if a alone is sufficient to answer the question
b)if b alone is sufficient
c)if either a or b alone is sufficient to answer it
d)neither a nor b is sufficient to answer the question
e)we need both a as well as b to answer the question
Okay,be careful in choosing the option.Read the options twice or thrice and think
logically while having an eye over the time.
11.Is (x)power4 -2(x)power3-34 > (y)power2?
given a)x is real
B)y is less than 0
i dont remember the Other 4 questions.But easy only.You can easily answer 3 to 4
questions correct.
16 to 20: Data Interpretation
Bar chart or Pie chart will be given.
The problem given to me was a bar chart representing the sales of paint company in 5
years.
And 5 questions were asked like what is the increase in percentage in 1996 to 1995.
Like these only.Simple.
Better try some problems in data interpretation chapter.
21 to 25:Puzzle test
Refer Puzzle test in R.S.Agarwal and work out all problems within a day.U will surely
answer all the 5 questions correctly.
The question i had was: There are 8 teachers a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h each teach different subjects.3
teachers are female and remaining are gents.4 of the teachers hold a Ph.d degree.G is a
lady without a ph.d.F is a lady with a ph.d.A teaches chemistry.C is a lady teaching
biology.D or E dont teach either physics or commerce.the one who teaches law is not a
ph.d holder.The one who teaches literature is nOT A LADY.
21)Who teach physics?
22)who is not a lady?
23)which of the statements is false?
a)A-physics,b)B-lady,c)-ph.d ,d)E-maths
24)who teach zoology?
a)c ,b)H , c)C or H, d)cannot be determined
25)which of the statement is true?
All u need is to construct a chart with the details given.thats it u can answer 3 or 4
easily.1 or 2 questions u need to think and answer.Simple.
26 to 30: Syllogisms
Study all 9 rules in R.S.Agarwal and try to solve all the problems and read the
explanation for each problem given in the book.Thats it , if u r thorough with the rules,its
very easy to finish 5 questions in 5 mins.
Which of the following combinations are logically correct and related to each other?
Hint: First goto the 4 options given.Analyse the combination whether it is logically
related?Thats it.simple
26)a)All crows are black
b)All birds are crows

Remember conclusion of two statements is different from logically related statements.So
be careful in choosing your answer.
27)a)Shyam plays chess
b)There is no need to be intelligent to win a chess game
c)Shyam lost in chess
d)Shyam is not intelligent
e)Shyam is educated
f)Shyam is intelligent
Remaining problems were also simple like these only.So if you plan ur time and attend
all questions u can easily score 20 to 25.The cut-ff for selection would be 15 to 18.So if u
give correct answers for 18 or more, u r definitely in which is easily possible with some
practise.
Next is the English section
Verbal Section:
Here 40 questions to be solved in 35 minutes.Cut-off will be 20 to 22.So try to attend all
40 questions.It doesnt need any practise if ur english is above average i.e. if u r good in
the grammatical area.
2 Reading comprehensions:(5+5=10 qs)
Both passage has 5 qs and both were easy only.Dont read each and every line.Just scan
the lines in 2 minutes.Goto the questions and come back to the passage immediately and
read the concerned lines quickly.U can finish both the passages in 12 to 13 minutes which
is quite good.But dont spend more than 15 minutes here.Otherwise u wont have time to
complete fully.
Checking Grammar:(8qs)
8 questions with 4 options each were asked.Need to find out which option is correct
grammatically and makes sense.Thats it.Dont spend more than 8 mins here.
eg.a)Today farming is very much precarious enterprise among all.
b)Farming today is the most precarious enterprise of all.
c)Farming today is the most precarious enterprise in all.
d)farming enterprise today is one of the most precarious enterprise.
All 8 questions were like these only.If u r quick in grasping,u will finish these 8 qs in 5
mins.
Fill ups:(8qs) 8 questions.
A big sentence was given.And some where in between there will be a blank.U need to
choose the option which suits the blank exactly.There were 8 qs here and i found it little
hard.So i took around 10 mins.I dont remember any question exactly.They may be a part
of a passage related to history,science or anything.Just testing our english.
Small passage:(5 qs)
A small passage like a story was given in 5 lines and 5 questions were asked.Just read the
passage fast and goto the questions.4options were given and u need to analyse which
option will suit the question.Thats it.U can finish these 5 qs in 3-4 mins itself.
Which is true? (9 questions)
They gave some 3 lines of content in every question and it had 4 options asusual.U need
to find out which of the 4 options will be true according to the content given. This was
also easy only.
Now after reading my experience,u would have got some idea.I also went to the test after
reading these kind of experiences given by some unknown person.Thanks to all of them.
thats it.All u need is to have some practise in the related areas and have confidence.Its
easy to clear the 1st round.
Then we waited 2 hrs for the result.
144 students were shortlisted for the next round.53rd name was mine.
HR interview:
Once u r shortlisted for the next round means,sit alone and just relax.Calm down and cool
yourself.If u think u need some preparations,dont take any book and read.just answer
urself within mind some of the usually asked qs like
1.tell about urself,
2.why your % went down in B.E compared to 10th and 12th std?
3.why r u interested to enter IT field?
4.Just make your resume simple.pls dont make it heavy by mentioning unwanted extra
details.Questions will be asked only based on the data which u have given in ur resume.
5.Prepare information about ur project.
6.Hobbies
7.If u had any arrears during ur degree,there is a definite question about the arrear
subject.Just he will ask what is the subject related to?what does it mean?Nothing else.Just
be mentally prepared.
Another thing is fill up the infosys form carefully without any mistake before the 1st
round.Because in the HR interview the questions will be partially based on those details
also.
Thats it other than these things 1 puzzle may or may not be asked based on the
interviewer u have.Just answer boldly whatever u say.Dont say ,i dont know, for any of
the qs which he asks.Just try ur level best to answer them.Be positive.It doesnt need that
only if u solve the puzzle,ul be selected.Even if u don know the puzzle,they ll just see ur
approach towards the problem,thats it.

General - other Cambridge School Rajauri Garden Delhi - 25 November
2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 25th NOVEMBER AT DELHI
Hi, This is Tapan Sood. I have given Infosys written Test on 25th November 2007 in
Cambridge School Rajaouri Garden Delhi. Pattern was like this:
Two papers:
1]General Ability test 30 questions, 40minutes.
2]Verbal Ability test 40 questions,35 minutes.
General Ability Test:
This test was very much time consuming.Each question was taking 5 minutes to solve..I
had solved about 14 questions in 35 minutes and rest were guesses as there was no
negative marking.
1-5 were questions on Dice.
There are six dices,Some conditions are as:
1.)Only three of them should show 4 or more.
2.)Atleast one dice should show six.
Now 1-5 were questions based on these conditions.They were seeming easy but were not
so simple.I firstly attempted all these questions.
Now 6-10 were questions of figures. I guess they were some what complex.
7-15 were questions based on data sufficiency. Questions were like questions on
ages,seating arrangement etc. They were easy.
15-25 were questions on Data Interperation.They were very much time consuming.
25-30 were questions of Predicate Logic.They were easy.
Verbal Ability Test:
This section was relatively easy. First of all there were comprehensions.They were very
much easy,then next there were fill in the blanks.
Result was declared on the same day at about 2:30pm
I had cleared written test.Interview date was on next day.
Interview:
There were two panels for interview. In one panel there was a lady and a male and in
second panel both were males. I was called by second panel. I have done B.Tech. in CSE
and currently i am working in Airtel as DSL Engineer. They firstly ask me to introduce
myself. I did.They started asking questions regarding communication from me.But when
they realized my comuters background then they asked me questions like:
1.What is the unit of memory?
me: Bits,Bytes,Kilobytes,MegaBytes.
2.What is the relation between bits & Bytes?
me:1Byte = 8 bits.
3.How many centimetres are there in an inch?
me: 1 inch = 2.5cmI was feeling like banging my head into wall...what were they
asking...Uf
4.Plastic floats in water or dips?
me: without thinking i said floats,then realized that Archimedes principle...oooo..
5.You use gmail, why?
me:Its faster and simpler..Nothing else..I forgot to explain AJAX technology used in
gmail & yahoomail beta version.again ooo.
6.How many employees are there in infosys?
Ans: About 2000 in Chandigarh.I guess 40,000 all over India.
They said you were almost right but there are over 70,000 employes in India.
7.Are you not satisfied with Airtel? Why do you want to shift?
Ans:I answered accordingly about my interest in software field etc.
8.Tell us something about Bharti?
Ans: I answered.
Thats it..Do you want to ask something?
I said, "Sir,are you satisfied with my answers?"
They refused to tell anything. They said anything else you wanna ask? I said No.
Then i left.Later on documents were checked (marksheets etc.) and we were told that
result will be declared after 2-3 weeks.
Just waiting for that now!!!!!!!
All the best.
Some tips:
1.First of solve those questions in which you are confident and solve them on rough sheet
provided to you as they take back rough sheet and check how you have solved questions.I
have solved dice questions in rough sheet clearly.
2.Attempt a set of questions first,DI questions, in the same way like dice question was a
set of 5 questions,etc.
3.English is very much easy,don,t bother,you can clear it easily.
4.For interview,be calm and confident and think for a while before answering.

General - other - 11 November 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 11th NOVEMBER 2007
Hi Guys and Girls, Hope all are doing well.. I attended Infosys off campus written test on
11/11/07 Sunday and got through the test and attended interview on 12/11/07. Test results
,ll be announced in 3 to 4 weeks as they said.
So, Here s the pattern of the written test I attended. No puzzles are asked in the written
test. The pattern is changed now.. The test consists of two sections, Logical Reasoning
and Verbal Ability.
The Logical Reasoning test consists of 30 qns and the time is 45 mins whereas the
Verbal Ability test consists of 40 qns and the time given is 30 mins. Logical reasoning qn
paper is given first. The first set had 5 qns asked from a logical reasoning paragraph. I
dont remember what it is bcos i dint hav time to attempt it.
The second set had 5 sequence qns in which one picture ,ll be missing in the middle of a
5 picture sequence.. i think u can prepare from verbal and non verbal reasoning - RS
Agarwal for this set
The third set was of data sufficiency qns containing 5 qns. in which a qn ,ll be asked in
the first line and two statements r given and v have to choose the option by whether the
qn s answered by the two statements or not.
Fourth set was Data Interpretation which had 5 qns. I attempted only one qn in this set
also cos qns were asked on how much percentages is that to this, which s very time
consuming. Fifth set also had 5 qns which is a Logical Reasoning set and the qn was like
if p and q play cric and football, p and s play cric and volleyball and so on.. and the qns
asked on who plays the maxi no of games.. this set is fairly easy if u form a table and
solve.. and the last set contains All A,s r B,s, All B,s r C,s kind of qns.. these are the
easiest in the LR section. (prepare 4m any cat material) Thats it for the LR section.
Follow RS Agarwal for Reasoning Overall.. Jus practice the type of qns i mentioned
here.. and u can easily crack them..
The Verbal Ability section had around 6 sets.
The first and second set both are Reading comprehension containing 5 qns each. Dont
attempt them first as they take hell a lot of time. also first go from the questions.. it,ll
relatively easy and reduce the time taken.. In the third set, we need to find the missing
statement. this ,ll be relatively confusing n if u are careful it can be answered with a good
accuracy. In the fourth set, a statement in the given paragraph ,ll be asked to replace by
another statement from the options which fits well.. The last set consists of a statement
from which inferences or logical followers are asked. I cracked around 18 qns out of 30
from LR and around 30 out of 40 from VA section.
INTERVIEW
I was asked to attend the interview on 12/11/07 at Infosys Sholinganallur campus. My
interview went for about 15 to 20 mins in which I was not asked any technical qns. Most
of the qns were from my resume. so careful guys, be thorough with ur resume.. Qns asked
in my interview were..
1. Did u choose EIE at will or dat is wat u got..
2. What do u mean by Challenging environment in ur objective..( asked from my resume)
3. U hav mentioned dat u represented college for Chess, How do u relate Chess with real
life.
4. Tell abt ur project
5. What is ur role in the project (This s an important qn so be prepared for this qn)
6. U said dat u can work in a pressure situation, give me an example where u were
pressured.
7. Have u ever led a team..
8. what have u done as a YRC member.
9. How will your branch of study (i.e EIE) will help u in this software field..
10. A puzzle the number 45 is divided into 4 parts.. the first part is added with 2 2nd part
sub by 2, 3rd part X 2 and 4th part divided by 2.. will result in a same number.. Ans. the
four parts are 8, 12, 5 and 20. ,ll result in a same number 10.. After this she said dat if
selected i ,ll be given training for 3 to 4 months and asked if i had any qns abt dat
training..

Whole Testpaper Trichy - 28 October 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 28th OCTOBER 2007
Hi, This is Manoj Kumar. I’m very glad to be a part of Infosys.
The interview process had been conducted in Trichy Anna University for the 2007 passed
out students. Approximately 1200 freshers attended the interview. 144 were passed the
written.
As all of you know already written is the crucial part of the Infy interview rather HR. The
main thing I did is I read the experiences candidates who attended recently. It helped me
a lot.
To clear the written, all that you need is tuning up your mind in the last two days before
the interview. The best way is to practice RS Agarwal reasoning book as much as you
can.
Important topics are Direction finding, Puzzle test (All 7 chapters), Syllogism, Questions
on Figures, Cubes, Blood relations, Data sufficiency, Data interpretation.
Logical reasoning- 30 questions- 40 mins.
Verbal ability
- 40 questions- 30 mins.
Logical Reasoning:
Q. (1 to 5): All 5 are of similar type and very easy to answer.
*A man is walking towards North and towards West turning right and turning to his
left…. The directions he is walking now?
*A man started running in North direction. What is sequence of direction he should be
taken to end in the direction of South? Options like
1.left,right,right 2.left,left,left 3.right,right,right etc.
*Started in South dir. Running for 8km turn left, then again left …. Distance from the
starting position?
*Again some sequence of directions then turning 45۫ right and turning to the left.
Direction he is walking in?
Forgot the next one. But similar. This question came as a gift.
Q. (6-10): Finding the next figure. A difficult one. Not as usual, because the missing
figure is in the middle. So no easy to understand the logic of the fig. series.
Q. (11-15): Data sufficiency. One statement has been given followed by another set of
two statements A and B. From that two we have to find the necessary statements to
conclude the first statement.
Options. 1. A only, 2. B only, 3.Either A or B, 4.Both A&B, 5.Neithe A nor B.
Q. (16-20): Data interpretation. Bar chart. Fast arithmetic calc. needed here.
Q. (21-25): A model of puzzle test. Set of statements were given followed by 5 questions.
There are 8 teachers A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H.
Statements:
There are 3 lady teachers, out of 8 four have done PhD , teachers who teach Economics
and Law didn’t hold PhD, Lady teachers not teach physics and Zoology ….etc.
5 questions based on that.
Q. (26-30): Syllogism. There are 6 statements in each question followed by 4 options like
ABD, DFD, BCD, AEF, BCE, CFD…In each question we have find the option which
contains logically related statements.
E.g. One of the questions was like this. (May not exact)
A. Ramesh is intelligent
B. Intelligence is not required to win lottery.
C. Rahul won a chess game
D. Rahul may not be intelligent.
E. Playing chess may not require intelligence.
F. Ramesh won lottery.
Below there are 4 options like ABC, BDE…
Verbal ability:
They are giving importance to this section also. Because there is a sectional Cut-off.
First two questions are RC. I would suggest not to touch this at the beginning. Other
questions were deriving a conclusion from set of statements, grammatically correct
sentences, fill in the blank with suitable option etc.
If your basics are strong then no problem. Be prepared with where to use conjunctions,
prepositions, compatible sentence patterns etc.
Practicing CAT material may help. Practice is the key to be confident in this section.

Aptitude - Puzzle
Infosys
Infosys Solved Puzzles ( 1- 400 )
1.There is a escalator and 2 persons move down it.A takes 50 steps and B takes 75 steps
while the escalator is moving down. Given that the time taken by A to take 1 step is equal
to time taken by B to take 3 steps. Find the no. of steps in the escalator while it is
staionary.
Solution (not sure):
If A takes 1 step in one second, then B takes 3 steps in one second. If A takes t1 seconds
to take 50 steps, then B takes 150 steps in t1 seconds.
For B, to take 150 steps he requires t1 seconds,
Then to take 75 steps he requires t1/2 seconds.
So now, s1=50, t1 = t1 & s2=75, t2=t1/2
ans= (s1*t2 ~ s2*t1) / (t1 ~ t2) which gives 100.
so 100 steps is the answer

with doughnuts. Ann is sitting across from the doctor and next to the chemist. The doctor
was thinking that Boobie was a goofy name for parent,s to choose,but didn,t say
anything. What is each person,s occupation?

Whole Testpaper Mt.carmel college, Bangalore - 18 November 2007
Hi, this is Bharath, Initially vote of thanks to the people who have helped me in cracking
the infy by giving their experiences.
The process consists of two rounds, now a days infy is conducting three rounds which
consists of one technical & hr. During my interviews some of the people have undergone 2
rounds of interview, so be prepared, u may interviewed once or twice, depending upon
their requirement.
In this first thing is the written test, and during off campus short listing of candidates will
be very less, and the short listing will be mainly based on the English test which is of 40
marks, & I think one should get minimum 30 marks for getting short listed, and u al well
know that interview is lite.
In case of Reasoning test, there will be one hard puzzle & one easy puzzle, easy puzzle
can be solved easily if one solves all the puzzles in the non verbal reasoning, easy puzzle
4 me is there are 5 teachers, each teacher teaches a subject, no teacher teaches more than
two subjects and another clue stating the teacher’s subject & day of teaching and
questions are which teacher teaches the subject, on which day does this teacher teaches
and so on.
Coming to hard puzzle there are three frnz x,y,z. x has an amount of rs.160, y has an
amount of rs.120, z has an amount of rs.80. and the man who have highest amount of
money has to give the half of the difference between the two members, and this process
stops if the difference between any two of the members is less than rs5, and questions are
like wat is the final amt at x, how many iterations will it take to stop the game and so on.
In case of hard puzzles, the infy people are just copying the examples 4m the IMS
material for CAT, I have said this as me and my frnz got the puzzles 4m it, and theres no
even change in the numerical, so try 2 go through it once
And data interpretation do it in the last, and the calculations wil be very hard so do only
rough calculations not exactly
(and u people can note the questions on rough sheet as they wil take only question papers
but not the answer papers, so if u have time left out u can solve them)
And next 5 question based on series (but we cant say that every time they give only series
they may also give odd man out as one of my friends got them) and the questions are very
easy
And next 5 questions on syllogisms, and I can recollect just 2 questions,
1. find the area of triangle
a. height of the median is given
b. two sides are given
2. Find the length of the cord
a. If the diameter of the circle is given
b. And the angle made by the sector is 60deg
Coming to English, u must have strong grip on tenses as u can gain 15 marks if ur strong
in tenses as u can get 5 marks 4m fill in the blanks with appropriate tenses, and 10 marks
4m correction of sentences,
And coming to pattern of the English, consists of two comprehension passages, 5 fill in
blanks, 10 correction of sentences (in case of correction of sentences corrections are
based on tenses, direct& indirect speech, active& passive voice) and find the logically
correct sentence
And they gave the list of short listed candidates in the evening and they have selected just

10 days of the test..
but anwz aptitude section wz easy….jst R.S. Aggrwal is very much sufficient for written
test
I can say R.S.Aggarwal is sufficient for all companies written test......as becoz of it i hav
also passed the written test of L&T infotech but unable to

They had PPT with us . that was gud n u must present in tht. u will definitely get some
idea abt infosys. I still remember one thing of ppt “Infosys need those who want 2 marry

this.
there were two sections:I.Critical reasoning
II.Verbal ability




for critical reasoning u need 2 be focussed, concentated and apply ur full mind
and nothing else u need 2 have(ofcourse gud luck is must!!).
for verbal ability the questions involve tenses, word meanings, prepositions and
some basic english gammer rules.
there were 2 reading compehensions 5 ques each and these d most scoring among
verbal. first read d ques n then find d answer frm d passage.Take care of one thing
FORGET everything which u know abt the passage aleady. just answer the
questions from what is given in the pasage.
Time management is ofcourse important to answer all the questions in time.
IMPORTANT:






NO NEGATIVE MARKING
u will be given rough sheet. Solve ur answers on rough sheet as neat as u can.
this rough sheet is evaluated at the time of interview
Before the written exam u will be given a form. U r required 2 write ur % and
some other personal details and also paste a photo.
If u take ur photo in formals(tie,coat), that will be best.
Fill ur % CAREFULLY.
Well that’s all about written exam. After sometime d results were announced and our
college students those cleared written were asked 2 report next day with 2 copies of

In the interview of Infosys, usually no technical questions are asked unless u
mention something big in ur resume e.g. my friend mentioned about robotics so
she was asked questions abt robot etc.
Prepare puzzles from internet and from shakuntala devi as puzzles are the main
issue in interview and also some questions of G.K. e.g. president of india, her
husband, capital of u.p., J&K etc.
Basically they r not interested ur answer of puzzles, they r checking ur approach
So solve them nicely on the paper as u can or explain them verbally how r u
solving ur problem.
usually very old people r HRs of Infosys. They want us 2 be very POLITE and
confident.
So be POLITE and DON’T SHOW UR ATTITUDE. DON’T ARGUE with them.
Prepare some common things e.g. which newspaper u read, name of its editor,
which sections of paper u read, hw u gather information, wht u surf on internet, do
u hv any girlfriend etc
My HR was a very old person. My experience is as follows:

Q21-25) A critical Reasoning Problem like Ann, Boobie, Cathy and Dave are at their
monthly business meeting. Their occupations are author, biologist, chemist and doctor,
but not necessarily in that order. Dave just told the biologist that Cathy was on her way
with doughnuts. Ann is sitting across from the doctor and next to the chemist. The doctor
was thinking that Boobie was a goofy name for parent,s to choose,but didn,t say
anything. What is each person,s occupation?
Ans: Since Dave spoke to the biologist and Ann sat next to the chemist and across the
doctor, Cathy must be the author and Ann the biologist. The doctor didn,t speak, but
David did, so Bobbie is the doctor and Dave the chemist.

after d test results were announced in 2 hours, i was very glad to note tat i was selected..
As dere was sectional cut-off which is around 60% for reasoning & 50 % for english,
very less students from my college get selected.. After written results, with no time delay
HR interviews started. A panel of 6 HR`s came who were taking interview in 6 different
interview rooms. Mostly of dem were aged between 40-55. But dey were too gentle to d

outside. i have no means to communicate outside the train, what will i do in such a
situation)
Me: I answered. ( Not all the questions have a perfect answer. remember while answering

Whole Testpaper COER, Roorkee - 5 January 2008
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.

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

HR - Whether the books were textbooks?

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

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.

From 1997-2002,data was given on students studied in different streams like arts
,commerce ,engineering, medical, agriculture and science. Questions were like....
1.Number of students studying medicine is what %ge of no of students studying
engineering?
2.% of Students studying commerce in yr 1999 is what % of students studying in all the
yrs?(ans E(no one was correct)) ............... Like that.... questions in this section were easy
but time consuming better try to approximate and save time..
English section....... it is as follows
1. 2 paragraphs based question very easy ( try to do it in last minutes as it is very easy u
have to just go thru it once it is of total 10 marks ). There were two paragraphs one was
big one and second was relatively shorter. I did the shorter one and it was on green house
effect- easy one u can even answer the questions even without reading paragraph.
2. 5 ques were given – in that each ques carries four options n u have to find the correct
sentence – 5 marks
3. Theme detection 5 ques
4. Fit the correct word in the blanks. This is of 5 marks,,,,

sentence – 5 marks
for verbal I will say that go for wren n martin (or Raymond Murphy) n cover articles ,
tenses, prepositions, subject n verb relations...trust me friends these books will help u a
lot in clearing this round.
For over all logical n English prepare sincerely and friends C2D (cooperate to dominate)
policy will be really helpful, even though u have done sincere efforts better do along with
ur frnds. Written results were announced in the evening around 7 and I was one of the
short listed candidates among 34 form our college. We were asked to leave n appear the
next day for interview. Next day interview started around 12 o’clock.

2. An electric train is going from east to west what’s the direction of it’s smoke?(electric
train doesn’t have smoke).
3. Mary’s father has four children luci, ana, Britney n who is the forth one?(Mary it self).
I have answered both the verbal but not answered any non-verbal puzzle...they will just
see ur approach n check how confidently u answer..................................
Int: ok, if u were a leader how u manage ur subordinates if they don’t perform well?
Me: sir, first I will treat them as friends n give them permissible freedom n encourage
their innovative ideas . if they feel any trouble in doing any job then I will try to deal them
personally n even if they lag behind then I will circulate the work among them. In this
way I will manage .i think he was impressed by my answer.

Whole Testpaper GLA Mathura - 26 February 2008
INFOSYS PAPER ON 26th FEBRUARY 2008
Hello friends!! I am Ankit Dikshit of MIET, Meerut . Infosys, the best IT company
visited the campus of GLA, Mathura on 26th feb, 2008. Five colleges including GLA,
Mathura as a host, MIET, Meerut, KIT Kanpur, BSA Mathura n one more collge. I didn’t
remember the name were invited for pool campus with their approximately 1000
candidates.
The criteria for eligibly of the candidates was 60% through out ( at least 60% in 10th,
12th and Btech agg.). Now I m sharing u my experiences wid infy initialising it with my
feeling when I was not selected in the company visited MIET on 10th, I guess.
Just Don’t Forget:
1. Believing ur God and urself is best key for success
2. Visiting Freshersworld, as I m really thankful to it for reencrypting my success story.
3. Spend proper time on resume making, collecting correct information about the
selection procedure of the company, as sometimes u might of following old patterns of
the company.
4. I always say “ It only depends on your single Good Day, Luck Matters Alott!!”
We encountered with two rounds at infy, first was written and second HR Round. Written
round is basically a rejection round, as only 73 out of 1000 were selected in written, just
7.3% my frn. While HR is the selection round, have selected 60 (50 from MIET,
yippy!!!) and even give second chance to remaining 13 those who did not perform well in
first HR (acc. To infy ).
Round#1: Written (two sections logical reasoning: ques: 30, time: 40 min
And verbal reasoning(english): ques; 40, time: 35 min.)
Books: RS Aggarwal Verbal Non Verbal, RS Agg. Apti for Data Interpretaion only,
GMAT Barron 10th edition, for English section
Not much requirement of shakuntala devi for written, it may sometimes be asked in HR
only.
Subjects: Logical Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning,
Topics:
Puzzles: In this paper of infy, I encountered with two puzzles in written
Question 1-5. there were 4 girls, A, B, C, D. they decided to divide any of the gift in 4
equal parts. So when uncle of A, bring some cookies for A, she divided them in four
equal parts. Then she decided to eat her share, as she was hungry that time. Just after that,
B arrives, then she divided the remaining cookies in four equal parts. Then A, B decided
to eat their shares, By keeping C and Ds share. After that c arrives n divided that
remaining share, again into four parts and eaten their respective shares. Finally wen D
arrives, n divided it into four parts and d gets 3 cookies.
From this puzzle we get five questions like how many cookies A’s uncle brought? Etc.
5 more questions from Another puzzle which was on relation, point to remember is they
provide the information in question directly, but many frnz of mine got confused tht how
it could b happen?. For example, A, B, C is engineer, doctor and teacher respectively. A’s
wife is (bla, bla, bla), so look the word respectively, which was proven excellent for my
selection.(practice chapter 6, puzzle test of RS Agg, v-nv reasoning )
Five questions on data interpretation pie chat which was on import and export, two pie
charts were given (practice RSA Apti, DI section)
5 questions on Syllogism, really a scoring and easy section don’t ever think of not
practising syllogism. Just go though nine rules of solving these questions from RSA
verbal non verbal.
5 questions from data sufficiency, I donno from where to prepare it, but prepare this
section also, if u can…this was my worst attempt.
5 questions from series (picture series), practice It from chapter 1, part 2, of RSA verbal
non verbal. It was my best attempt, my funda was just compare the step by step changes
in the given figure and put ur logic.
Believe me the sections of the reasoning part was easy, u have to be serious for infy’s
written coz, written is the round, wher they requires the leat.
Now for verbal section u have to make ur basic grammar strong, attempt the given
passages in the end. They are time consuming. I found ten questions on two passages,
while 10 questions on sentence correction where you have to go through barron, you
should an idea of parallism, clauses, tenses and above average vocabulary.
10 questions on fill in the blanks, sinlge question on vocab, 5 questions on theme
detection (the level was gud, no use of reading the chapter given in RSA, just read Barron
for this also).
After this written, I been to my frnz (nigam) place in vrandaban, where I came to know
that my written is clear.
Here, I m sharing my tête-à-tête with HR,
Me: may I come in sir?
Hr: yes, please.
(I move inside and simply sit on chair bindass!!)
Hr: have I asked u to sit?
Me: sorry, sir, my faux pas (really apologize for my this negative decorum and stand on
my position)
Hr: can I have ur resume plz?
Me: sure sir!
Hr: so, u seems to be a guy with leadership quality, do u believe in compromises?
(He was going through my resume)
Me; yes sir
Hr: can u tell me any of the instance where your compromises take over your leadership?
Me: sir, I was on stage…..blablabla….
Hr: ok, mr ankit tell me about urself (very common question)
Me: I m Ankit Dikshit……bla bla bla…
Hr: National Level Table tennis player?? (design ur resume in the manner u want hr to
ask question from) what was the round u attended at national level?
Me: sir, we reached upto quarter finals…blab la bla…
Hr: (in continuation in asking me questions from my resume) What’s this band performed
live at sahara samay nationals?
Me: actually sir, we are having “tatva’ the first rock band of Meerut ….bla bla bla….
(This was the point I was waiting to be asked by him, and after this I simply hold him
while telling him all of my assets like innovative, confident, believes in unity and team
work, my experiences etc..
This was the time when I noticed him smiling…seems to be that I was satisfied with what
I have written in my resume is true)
Hr: so Ankit, r u from UP?
Me; yes sir!
Hr: UP is having a great importance in Indian politics, can u name any five prime
ministers from UP?
Me: yes sir, I can …
They are pandit Jawahar lal Nehru, indira Gandhi, Rajeev Gandhi, atal bihari Vajpayee,
……..
Hr: ( I was in between) u belongs to Meerut …
Me: ( interrupting him) n of course ch. Charan singh (he smiles), vp singh,
chandrashekhar…
Hr: (smiling) great mr Ankit, u seems to be an intelligent guy, I m impressed!
(he raised my confidence level)
(during these hr interview we found that infy was focusing by questioning on ur general
knowledge and current affairs)
Hr: u know u are the first candidate out of seven, yet. To answer this question. And last
candidate said “ sorry sir, I don’t have any interest in politics” what u say, about Him?
Me; no comments sir, its his angle of observations, I cant say any thing about him.
Hr: which is the smallest country of the world?
Me; its Vatican city sir.
Hr: interesting, which movie u have watched, last?
Me: (yaar here I was confused, donno wht was the last, even I could answer here my
favourite movie or movie which was clicked in my mind, but believe me no movie in my
mind, as he changes my area of thinking with a nick of second, I think thts y I was
answer less)
HR: have u seen “ chak de india ”?
Me; (replied with confidence) yes sir, even its my favourite movie (it was my jabardast
wapasi in the game called HR interview)
Hr: which was ur favourite scene?
Me; when Shahrukh khan says “ pehli baar kisi gore ko tiranga lehrate hue dekh raha hu”
(I replied in hindi only) and also the team spirit of the players and also the compromise
which we were talking initially, chautala, the tiny girl from Haryana passes the ball to
preeti sabarwal and said “ dikha de uss londe ko”, when both of them were having same
number of goals through out thw world cup, this shows the spirit of working for the
nation and same law is glimpsed when u r working for your company like infy, if I clear
the interview, you have to put ur ego aside n have to work in team with compromises and
hardwork” And that’s why “chak de india ” is my favourite movie
(here I showed him, I like those qualities and follow those qualities which are best for
any of the company)
Hr; (smile) fine Ankit, you can go now!
Me: nice meeting sir!!
So frns, finally after cross-fingered wait of 3 hours we came to know, that 50 including
me from MIET are infosian, now.
We have had a meeting with HR team of infy wher they told us noms and conditions etc.
So guys!!! Belief in God and in urself, is the key for success.
Heartily wishes to u frnz!!!
C u at infy!

SCARCITY There were 2 one page comprehensions with 5 questons each There were
hardly any time 2 read those properly(though they were easy
The apti was easy & I did attempt the whole lot. Out of about 1100, 220 cleared the apti
(probably cutoff was increased)
The HR was really a cakewalk---DAMN EASY the interviewer was xtrmly friendly &
as I enterd told me 2 sit down & then onwards
Q1.Tell me about ur weak points
A: answerd (Thank god he didn’t asked me the Deadliest qstn-Introduce yourself
Q2.Tell about ur xperience after u left ur house
A; This is a filler-he was trying 2 tst communication skill, so I started stating every
minute details
Q3. What sports do u follow
A; I answerd soccer,cricket & F1
Q4.He went on asking Who’s best in EPL, who won F1 last yr, something about the
teams blah blah
A: this was my domain & answered easily (Quite surprising a 55yr guy following F1 2
such a xtnt!!!!!)
Q5. Gave 2 puzzls 2 solve
A: Solvd the tougher one but narrowly missed the easy one
Q6.Have u ever worked in a group
A: I anwerd then he askd more about it & THEN told that’s all
I was happy 2 give my best After a long wait 4 about 2 hrs at 9:15pm(praying 4 the
best) finally the names were announced & was elated 2 find I was one of about 135
selected
So guys always have faith on yourself & god U CAN DO IT
Cracking INFY is not tough, just b cool during ur HR

General - Interview - 21 February 2008
INFOSYS PAPER ON 21st FEBRUARY 2008
Myself is Sourav RoyChaudhury,persuing my 3rd yr B.tech from Techno India College
of Technology,Rajarhat New Town...and have recently got through INFOSYS.Before I
share my experience i like to thank all those who shared their experiences in the prvious
columns,my parents and to all my well-wishers.
From the very PPT u will learn dat INFY z a very strict and disciplined company and
they always demands quality and not quantity...they generally do no cum wid specific
number of offer letters.It was around 9:30am (21st feb) our PPT started...it was followed
by APTITUDE TEST...around 11am........the results came out in two slots.4 colleges
participated in the process(our colg,techno india(saltlake),asansol engg colg and siliguri
insti of tech)....We got our results at about 4 pm or so and headed for the interview.1168
participated in the process,206 cleared apti and finally 137 got through(36 from my
colg).
APTITUDE TEST: Well its the most difficult section of the whole process,a major
eliminating round you can say !! The aptitude test consist of two sections
1.LOGICAL REASONING( 30 QUESTIONS 40 MINS)
2.VERBAL ABILITY(40 QUESTIONS 30 MINS)
Der z sectional cut-off in each section its around 60% in LR part and 50% in VA.......no
negative marking but there is hit-ratio cut off so never do any kind of blind guessing
becuse many many of my frnds got rejected for dat.Put right information on the HR form
given at the time of ur apti,I personally found it very confusing.
1. LOGICAL REASONING:
Series completion,data sufficiency,data interpretation,1 puzzle,syllogisms,1 problem ( no
quanti in INFY)
2.VERBAL ABILITY:
logical fill in the blanks,grammar,correct the sentence,sentence ordering,2 huge
paragraphs......time management is most important in this section.
My interview started at round 8pm,there were 25 panels who interviewed 206 candidates
and the whole process lasted for about 3 hrs or so.
GENERAL INTERVIEW:

A,B,C,D,E,F 3 on each side of the road with colours red,blue,green,white,etc......smallest
house in green in colour....B which is red is opposite to C...(remaining i forgot)....
(f) 5 Questions on Syllogism.....easy

INFOSYS PAPER ON 20th MARCH 2008
Hi, friends this is HARSHAL CHAUDHARY a student of Walchand College of Engg
and now also an Infosyian. I got selected for Infosys through the placement done by it, at
Walchand. Here I am mentioning about my experience during the whole placement
process.
1. Logical and critical reasoning test 30 questions 40 min
2. Verbal reasoning and English test 40 questions 35 min
Logical and critical reasoning test
1-5Q ------- The question was based on three ladies having some money and a game
played (These r the puzzle test ques of R.S aggrawal v &non-V Type 5).
2-10Q ----- The questions were figure related in which we had to find the correct figure in
sequence.
11-15Q --16-20Q --- The question was related to DI in which a table showing number of students
in different branches during 6 years were given and we had to answer questions having
lot of caculations. So I suggest you to do it at last.
21-25Q --- The question was again puzzle type in which 5 peoples A,B,C,D,E ,F,Gand H
r sitting aROUND A TABLE.
26-30Q --- The question was syllogism type. In this 6 statements were given with four
combination choices like AFC, ACF etc and we had to find the correct logically related
combination.
(I recommend you to just go through R.S. Aggarwal Verbal & Non Verbal Reasoning.
But prepare well for it. As its one of the deciding factors in clearing Aptitude test.)
Verbal reasoning and English test
1 ---- There were two paragraphs. It will take time so attempt them at last.
2 ---- There were questions on sentence correction in which we had to find correct
replacement for underlined part in passage.
3 ---- There were questions on finding the correct sentence among 4 given sentences.
4 ---- There were questions on filling up the blanks with suitable grammatical words.
5 ---- There were questions related to theme dectecion from a small passage.
The main part or the eliminatoin part of INFOSYS is the Apttitude test &&&&& the rest
is just a WALK ON CAKE.
For our HR INTERVIEWS their were 5 panels and most them were too much
experienced (age more than 45)

General - other Orissa Engineering College, Bhubaneswar - 18 March
2008
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 cutout 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.

Whole Testpaper Govt. College Of Engineering & Ceramic Technology - 6
March 2008
INFOSYS PAPER ON 6th MARCH AT KOLKATA
Hi Friends, I am Shubhadip Datta from Govt. College Of Engineering & Ceramic
Technology, Kolkata. There was a poll campus interview of Infosys in our college
campus on 6th March,2008. Almost 375 students from 5 different colleges were attain
this campus interview. And friends good news that I am the one of lucky one to get
chance to take training from Mysore .
Statistic:
No of College=5
Total Students=375
Students who cleared Aptitude Test=25 (Be careful huge reduction in this section)
Students Select in interview=14 (I am one of them)
Selection Procedure:
Infosys is such a company where there is no barrier in stream. That means students from
any stream can sit in Infosys. There are no direct Technical round in Infosys.
The whole Selection Process contains two section Aptitude test.
>Analytical & Logical reasoning:(30 question : 40 minutes)
>English section: (40 question : 35 minutes)
Friends they will not tell about any sectional cut off be careful about section cutoff. I
heard that there is 60% cutoff in first Section, & 50% from second section.
After Aptitude test HR interview.
Study Materials:
>Verbal & Non verbal-R.S . Agarwal.
>Some Time’s CAT study materials.
>And of course last but not least Freshers World (Be Regular & update with this site,
You will get really very help)
Analytical & Logical reasoning
Friends I have not remembered the order of questions but I am telling the questions in
such a order that I follow and I am sure that you also get advantage if you solve question
in such order.
>Syllogism: (5 question) – Friends not only in Infosys but also in others first attempt this
question. It is very easy to solve.
Question Pattern: Statement: All A is B. Some B is C.
Conclusion: I,II
You have no need to memories all the rule of R.S. Agrawal and even you have no need
to draw vein Diagram to solve it, If you follow Time’s CAT materials. There is very
simple rule in Time’s materials by which you can solve a syllogism with in 15 sec.
>Figure Series: (5 questions)- This is really very simple. For practice see Agrawal. But
don’t waste too much time for it.
>Dice & Cube Problem:(5 questions)- In my apti the prob was like below:
A cube is given and is painted six side with six diff colors.
Red is adjacent of yellow and green.
Pink is opposite of yellow.
Brown is in the bottom face
Now Q:1)Which color is in the top face?
Q:2) Which color in the opposite face of Red?
But there may also come others pattern:
There is a cube and it is cut in 27/64/125 equals pieces of cube. Now two face is colored
with black, two green, two red.
Q: No of cube which is painted three faces…No of Uncolored cube…..
Just see 3-5 Example from Agrwal It will come in ur hand.
>Puzzel: (5 questions) – Keep ur head cool for these question. I know puzzle makes
everyone puzzeled. Read the question carefully draw the diagram, matrix and put the data
one by one according to given information. I am sure that every one can solve it.
>Data Interpretation: (5 question) – A chart, graph, table will be given….and you have to
solve some problem on statistics. It will too much time conserving section so do it at
last…..and also follow the Option elimination process.
English Section:
Friends I am really very week in this section. But as I have cleared so you can clear it
easily.
>Two passages and 5 question from each passages: Do it at the last. And before reading
the passage see the question one time.
>Sentence Correction: Be care about tense mistake, spelling mistake, using of
pronoun…..
>Fill in the Blanks: Gain a details idea on preposition, phrase, idioms.
>Theme Detection.
HR Interview
Now the final section. The only one solution to crack the interview is keeping yourself
cool. Friends believe me the Infosys HR panel are the coolest person in the world(At least
for my panel). And always think that they are taking your Interview to sect you , Not to
reject you. Be friendly, polite with them……
I was in the two persons’ panel. And I was interviewed two times. After Completing the
first interview one interviewer told me “Shubhadip, we are very sorry, Please wait for 5
min outside, we may call you again. ”
First Interview

Hi,friends this is rajdeep banerjee from netaji subhash engineering college,kolkata.

DRIVE that was held on 22nd of feb 2008...n i was one of the lucky ones to get
selected...
any way first of all friends i wud like to say that don,t be tensed about infosys ..bcoz i
personaly think that there on-campus recruitment procedure is easier than that of other
companies...
Our aptitude test was held in Rajarhat technoindia college...we arrived there at 8 a.m
from 9-15 the p.p.t(pre-placement talk)started..the person from infosys conducting the ppt
was very jolly n smart ..he told us abt infy..its projects n all ...he also asked everyone to
say the logo color of infy ..n told us that wh,wud give the right answer wud definitely get
worth Rs.500...
anyway none of us answered correctly...friends the color is "PANTON 285C"..then we
were asked to go to respective rooms to sit for aptitude test...friends its consists of two
parts one is verbal reasoning n logical ,the other is english..anyway friends be prepared 4
the apti..u can follow verbal n non-verbal reasoning by r.s.agarwal..n u can follow the
recent mba entrance papers too...it was easy..the puzzles n quantative reasoning given
was not at all difficult..if u ave the ability to solve the puzzles ,,then u can do the
trick...now in english my advice is to solve cat papers or other mba papers..there were
two passages n u have to answer from those..also others were correcting sentence
structure..etc..but no synonym or antonym was given i think it,s not required 4 infy to
practise those stuffs..if u r good in english ..then the the paper was dump easy 4 u..as far
as i can remember i correctly answer each one..totally 70 marks apti it was..n 40 marks
was 4 english...so practise it ...anyway time might be the factor of someone..there was no
negaive markng...then the result was declared n i was there...we all then went to Techno
India ,Saltlake...honestly speaking i was a bit nervous at that time..though i desparately
wanted Infy..4 some reason ....
note that in Infy there,s no technical interview...only H.R. interview is there....
when my turn came..i was absolutely tensed.. really my palms were sweating n my heart
beat was growing fast...then i entered. .n here is the conversation....
Me: Good Evening mam,
Madam :thank u rajdeep ..pls be seated..
Me: thank u..(n sat with a smile on my lips..)
Madam: here i see u have passed from mahesh sri ramakrishna ashram..is it a branch of
belur math..?
Me: actually it,s not directly connected to it..bt it,s connected to other missions..n
exlained plainly..
Madam: tell me abt yourself.... my god that was my question i was very much
prepared..told about my qualities..,my participation in cultural progarmmes..how i
worked as a team..n how i inspired others..my hobbies at last...frnd don,t say ur c.v ..say
abt urself ...think about urself ..ur achievements...n say everything good abt urself...
Madam: do u like to work as a team member or a team leader..??
me: it,s always been a pleasure to be a part of the team...n if i can be leader then it,ll be
cherry over cake...n explained how i worked in local book fair...etc...friends just try to
convince them that u r in a position to be a part of the company..u have the dedicated soul
...etc ...
Madam: have u ever got angry...
Me: don,t try to fool, them n be honest..also give an example how u ot angry at a
particular situation n for that reason u did a better job..so that negativity of u ,ll reflet ur
positive personality..that,s the trick...
Madam: do u read story books..ur fav author...
Me: rabindranath tagore...
that was all at last she sighned me a paper n thanked me..i replied my thanks...don,t shake
ur hand..unless the interviewer shakes..anyway fortunately i was not asked puzzles...bt
friends my advice is to get ready 4 the puzzles..those cud be asked any time...
then after 2 hrs of waiting our name was declared..n i was one of the lucky ones ...frm our
stream(cse)10 were selected... that,s all over..absolutely i was very happy.... that,s it..my
friends getting infy is not the toughest job...u have to believe urself...try to focus on what
u r saying..n be positive ..don,t show over-smartness ....best of luck to all of the future

Infosys Whole Testpaper
Hi friends….. This is Nakshatra here from Skyline Institute of Engineering and
technology, Greater Noida…. I attended infosys on campus placement test on 19 th feb,
2008 held at IEC Greater Noida….. I would like to share my experience with u & hope it
would prove very valuable for u in the upcoming period
Around 900 students attended the test and out of them 82 were finally selected, nd due
to Gods grace I was one among them.
The Selection consists of 2 Phases :a) Written Test
b) HR Interview
In which, written test consists of two phases:1) APTITUDE:
30 questns in 40 minutes..
5 questns about arithmetical reasoning
5 questns on series completion (figure)
5 questns on puzzle test
5 questns on data interpretation (graphs)
5 questns on data sufficiency…….. and rst I dnt remember as I am writing it after around
10 days of the test..
but anwz aptitude section wz easy….jst R.S. Aggrwal is very much sufficient for written
test
I can say R.S.Aggarwal is sufficient for all companies written test......as becoz of it i hav
also passed the written test of L&T infotech but unable to
selected after Technical+HR Interview.
2) Verbal Reasoning (English) :40 questns in 35 mints..
2 big paragraphs followed by 5 questns each, although paragraphs were bit lengthy bt
they were damn easy…
8 questns on identifying correct sentences…..
8 questns on sentence correction…
fill in d blanks- 8 qustns..
6 questns on small paragraphs…
While answering questns u hav to keep the time in mind.... bcoz time management plays
major role in these type of papers
After Completion Of paper, Result is declared after 2hrs.... and my name is in the list
INTERVIEW:
The HR was vry nice person…First he asked me abt tell me about myself . then he asked
me about my strengths with example from my life… den he questnd abt how will u see
urself after 5 yrs.,also he asked some questns relatd to my achievements & hobbies
mentioned in d cv….
then he gv me a puzzle related to triangles…..i stated d logic for solvng d puzzle and
solved it easily….. den he gv me another puzzle related to movements of coins.. I tried
it…..and give the answer that is appropriate for me.....
Its my sincere advice to u friends, that if u hvnt practiced d puzzles, den dnt wrry…..dey
dnt expect d answers of d puzzles from u bt nly d logic and in d intrw if u dnt knw d
solution of d puzzle den pl don’t sit dumb … nd jst try to build some logic in front of
them…. , they just see ur approach of tackling diff situations…. Jst be cool &
confident……
Due to some doubt....i hav gone through another HR interview....where lady HR asked
me about collg. activities, about how i update my general knowledge....and about my
special qualities.
At last she asked me if i want to ask anything to her....i tell yeah ....i asked what are the
areas that u think i hav to improved so that i will become more efficient
she tell u have to improve ur communiction skills...and also shesaid that u hav ur
strengths...and maintain it.
Now after 2 hrs , by god,d grace my name is in the list of those who get offer from Infy.
And at last I wud like to thank Freshersworld for providing such a wonderful platform to
the students 4 sharing their experiences…

From 1997-2002,data was given on students studied in different streams like arts
,commerce ,engineering, medical, agriculture and science. Questions were like....
1.Number of students studying medicine is what %ge of no of students studying
engineering?
2.% of Students studying commerce in yr 1999 is what % of students studying in all the
yrs?(ans E(no one was correct)) ............... Like that.... questions in this section were easy
but time consuming better try to approximate and save time..
English section....... it is as follows
1. 2 paragraphs based question very easy ( try to do it in last minutes as it is very easy u
have to just go thru it once it is of total 10 marks ). There were two paragraphs one was
big one and second was relatively shorter. I did the shorter one and it was on green house
effect- easy one u can even answer the questions even without reading paragraph.
2. 5 ques were given – in that each ques carries four options n u have to find the correct
sentence – 5 marks
3. Theme detection 5 ques
4. Fit the correct word in the blanks. This is of 5 marks,,,,
5. 5 ques were given – in that each ques carries four options n u have to find the correct
sentence – 5 marks
for verbal I will say that go for wren n martin (or Raymond Murphy) n cover articles ,
tenses, prepositions, subject n verb relations...trust me friends these books will help u a
lot in clearing this round.
For over all logical n English prepare sincerely and friends C2D (cooperate to dominate)
policy will be really helpful, even though u have done sincere efforts better do along with
ur frnds. Written results were announced in the evening around 7 and I was one of the
short listed candidates among 34 form our college. We were asked to leave n appear the
next day for interview. Next day interview started around 12 o’clock

Infosys Paper Candidate Experiences Chitkara College of Engineering and
Technology - 14 February 2007
INFOSYS PAPER ON 14th FEBRUARY AT CHANDIGARH
I sat for the Infosys placement procedure on the 14th FEB and got through!
Logical Reasoning Test (30 questions(6*5) - 40 minutes)
The questions tested general aptitude:
1)A question on Arithmetic (price of rice dal cultivation, man days required, money
available, land available, selling price ratio etc)
2)Data sufficiency. This question was very simple
3)Data Interpretation based on a Pie Chart. Didnt attempt because of pausity of time.
Leave this one for the last!
4)A Puzzle (Something like A,B,C,D,E eat different fruits on five days in a week. You
had to work out various possibilties.) Refer RS Aggarwal (Verbal and non verbal) chapter
- Puzzles test anddo all the six types of puzzles given. Do the chap on Blood Relations as
well!
5)syllogism Five simple questions on Syllogism. Attempt them first as they are very easy
and dont take much time. These questions get you going,
Do the chapter LOGIC from RS Aggarwal (Verbal - non verbal)
Do the rules as well as Logical Venn Diagrams.
6)Find the next image in a series.
Doing puzzles from Shakuntala Devi is of no use now as the pattern has changed and Infy
doesnt test you on puzzles anymore. Despite the fact that there is no negative marking, do
not attempt the questions you have not solved. The rough work is most probably
chechked and thus guesses are not advised. All they doi is lessen your chances of
selection. If at all, you can guess the "next image in series questions"
I attempted 20 questions out of 30
English Test (40 questions - 30 minutes)
1) Reading comprehension - One lengthy passage and one short passage! Leave them for
the last Rest of test just checks basic English Usage and you dont really need to prepare if
you know the basic usage!
You can attempt all the questions in this section easily! the test and getting through it isnt
tough!!
Interview :
It was an HR interview lasting about 10-15 minutes!
Excerpts:
First the interviewer told me that I hadnt done well in the written! I sensed that was just
to check my confidence and I said that I had done well enough!
Next he asked what kind of a person I was.
He asked questions made out of my answers only. So beware! Then he asked general
things like life at my college and whom do I value the most out of family , friends and
teachers Then he asked how much had my family spent on me. I answered spontaneously
: It is very difficult to keep track of that! he said you have given up so easily! Then he
gave me a pen and a paper ans asked to calculate!
Remain confident no matter what they ask or say and never give up on anything! Even if
they give you a puzzle just keep working on it until they ask you to stop! maintain eye
contact and shake hands firmly if he/she offers! getting through ain,t as tough as you
might think

GROUND AND THEN AT A SPEED OF 3 KMPH ON THE UPHILL
AND THEN DOWN THE HILL AT A SPEED OF 6KMPH TO THE
LEVEL GROUND AND THEN AT A SPEED OF 4KMPH TO THE
HOME AT 9PM. WHAT IS THE DISTENCE ON ONE WAY? (3marks)
Ans>
X/4 + Y/6 + Y/3 + X/4 = 9hr.
Where X is the distance on the ground and Y is the distance uphill.
Solving we get
X + Y =12 Km.
Q2> there is a tank in which there are three pipes. One is for draining and the two other
are for filling. One of the pipe can fill the tank in 7 and a half minutes and the other in 6
minutes. The draining pipe can drain water from the whole tank in 8 min. will the tank be
ever filled completely. If yes than how? (4 marks)
Ans> yes it will be. This is a very easy question.
One pipe in 6 minutes that is for unit time 1/6
Similarly 7+30/60 minutes for unit time is 2/15
The outlet pipe can do it in 1/8
So the whole tank can be filled in
1/6+2/15-1/8=? Do your self-yaar.and invert the answer that is the answer.
Q3> four friends x, c, v, b are in a party. They were dancing when someone ate the pizza,
which they were not supposed to. There were 4 statement quoted out of which only 1 is
true, find who ate the pizza? (4 marks)
X- c ate it.
C- v did it.
D- who I Na not at all
B- x is wrong when he says that I did it?
Ans>draw a graph, if we consider that b is right than we can see that c cant have done it
otherwise 2 statement will be right so analyzing each statement we see that x ate the
pizza. (Not sure about this answer).
Q4>I have a watch which gains 2minutes is every hour and another watch which losses 1
minute in each hour. When there will be a difference of 1 hour in my clocks. (3 marks)
Ans> (X-1) +(X+2)=60
2X +1=60
X=28.5 seconds.
Q5> shakuntala devi puzzle number 128 also was asked about which faces will be 1 side
coloured and 2 side coloured and 3 side coloured? (8 marks)
Ans> 1, 6,12,8 (sorry lads cant draw the diagram for it yaar excuse me for that)
Q6> x, c, v had 20rupees and they had to buy 20 stuff from it. The first one was of 4rs.
For one the second was of .25rs for 1 and the third was .5rs for 1 how can they busy it so
as to get exactly 20 stuff for 20 rs? (4marks)
Ans> the easiest way to answer such a question is that first form an equation
X+C+V= 20
And 4X+. 25C+. 5V=20
Now let us assume the first material to be 1 but if we form the succeeding equations we
cant get the correct answer so further if we assume it as 2 it wont do as well.
Let us assume as 3 yes now we can get the answer
It comes out to be 3, 15, and 2. That is 12rs+ 7.5rs + .5rs.
Q7> in this question u are given three combinations read them carefully (8 marks)
If T is selected than X cannot be selected.
If U is selected than Y has to be selected.
If Z is selected than X has to be selected.
Now form the combination that is right
A>
B>
C>
D>
TXUYZ
TUYCE (right)
TUYZC
TUYXC
The second question was that
What cant be selected from this
A>TUXYZ (right)
B>UZXYC
C>ZXUYE
D>WERTY
The third question
What can be interchanges from this which wont make any change in the
combination?
A>WERTYZ
B>TZXYRE
C>WCUYZX (right)
And there was one simpler question, which I don’t remember.
Q8> if I play a game with my friend and we decide to exchange a rupee for each one
loses. If I gained 3 rupee in the end and my friend won three times than tell me how
many times I must have won?
Ans> 9 (think over it its logical 3 wins of friend means 3 rupee loss and than 6 rupee
win in 6 chances)
Q9> there are three people Mary, John, Hallman. The three are celebrity and they are
invited in an interview where they tell their ages only one says the truth.
Mary says I m younger than Hallman
I am only 21
Hallman says that John is the oldest but I am 3 year older than Mary

John is lying
(I DON’T REMEMBER THIS QUESTIONS PROPERLY YAAR SO EXCUSE
ME FOR THAT YAAR). But my answer was 21,24,26 out of which 21 was wrong.
Q10>this was rather a good question. There is a thief who steals some diamonds from
a shop but he feels bad and just takes half and 2 more from the whole lot. Than
another thief came and took half and 2 more followed by another who did the same
and than another who also did the same. When the last thief came he saw only 1

with 1 more, Same happens with when he tries to arrange them in rows of 7 and 9 that is
1 apple is left extra.
But when he arranges them in a row of 11 he is left with none. Can u tell me how many
apples were there?
Ans
946
the no is a multiple of 3,5,7,9 + a remainder of 1. So
3* 5* 7* 9= 945 + 1 =946
946 /11= 86
so it is divisible by 11 also.

A dice has faces 1 against 6, 3 against 5 and 2 against 4 always. How many such
combinations of faces are possible in a dice?
Ans
24
keeping 1 and 6 fixed, we can have two combinations of 6 and 3, and two of 2 and 4 that
means four. And interchanging 1 and 6 we can have two more combinations that means
with one pair 8 combinations are there : 4*2=8. Similarly with other two also 8 combos.
So in all 8*3=24 combos are possible.

a) There is no need to consider their meeting pt at all.the train has been
running for 90miles/(60miles/hr)=1.5hrs.bird flies till train reaches destination
frm strting pt.so bird flies for1.5hrs at the vel given(90).so
dist=1.5*90=135miles
b)
time of train=1hr.so dist of bird=60*1=60miles
3.
(a) u don,t need to sum it up.since it,s a knock out only 1 person emerges
winner finally.so15+1=16is answer.becos after15 matches finally we shud,ve
15losers and 1winner.
(b)
49:its always one less than no of players as per the idea given above.so no
need to check okay cos its always true.ans is 49.
4.
Let x= current age
4(x+4)+5(x+5)=10x ;so x=R 41 years
5.
37(x-y)=x^2-y^2. u no tht x^2-y^2=(x-y)(x+y).so (x-y) cancels on both
sides to give x+y=37.so sum of unequal halves=37 which is the req answer.
6.
R ans:7 teams okay.for a match u need 2 teams.suppose there r totally ,n
,teams.
Now uve to choose 2 teams out of ,n, teams.so answer =no of such choices=no.
of possible combinations. So we,ve ans = nC2(ncombination2)=21;solve to get
n=7.
Sol: n(n-1)/2=21. so n=7.if u don,t understand c the graph below
each team plays no. of matches=no of teams ahead of it. One bar ,|, represents
one team.
| | | | | | | ------------7
6 5 4 3 2 1 0 -----------21
last team is written as 0 matches becos this team has already played with all
other teams-hence sum of matches =6+5+4+3+2+1=21 which is correct only if
no of teams =7
