Verbal ability:

For this section i will like to say ,that agar sentence ko padhne se u can
find the mistake ,the paper was easiest.while for rest of my friends it was
difficult as they prepared the rules of articles etc.I solved the paper just by
reading the sentences.
I m not master of Grammar ,i m jst ordinary believe me
(1) 2 unseen passages(10 ques)
the answers were seen directly by loooking at the questions for one para but for
other para we were required to read it.
(2) 10 questions fill in the right phrase in to sentence very easy,done by direct check.

(3) 10 questions correct sentence ,5 options were given and a part of sentence was
underlined,it wsa to be corrected.A lot of concentration required as the sentences
were big.This was the toughest part.But easy.
(4) Theme detection A para with 5 option given (bit tricky) para ki bhavnaon ko
samajhna tha.

HR Interview
———————-
There was no technical questions or interview only HR.
I will not describe it as a dialogue,just want to say some points.

(1)Tell abt urself?
—>dont gv ur intro,tell about your qualities,skills etc. with good examples.
(2)HR’s r very friendly,but u dont be too friendly .just keep a smile on ur face
to hide ur tension.
(3)Just keep cool,he might ask 1 or 2 easy puzzles to check presence of mind.
(4) Keep full knowledge of your resumespecially hobbies.
Rest u must have read in other papers blah blah ,i hate this blah.
Atlast: about me ,my interview was dynamic,i impressed the hr very much ,but he was just
pretending to be impressed and i came to know about this when the results were declared.
I was not selected may be due to age ,year gap factor or because i did not had any
certificates of extra curriculars in my folder.So, i was disheartened. But,now i m back
to work.
Hope,My paper helps you. hope u all have good luck.not a bad one like me.
And for IT companies selections i want to say: “every dog has his day”
I did not found such detailed paper any where.
