infosys pattern & interview – 27 JUL 2007
Kuntal here frm Somaiya engg coll in Mumbai. I got selected on 27th July after clearin APTITUDE n den HR…
The aptitude papers comprised of two sections: –
1) Logical Reasoning – It waz based on CAT papers…some questions were really tough… I had hardly refered any CAT book before so i took loads ot time solving them…
u guys do refer IMS notes of logical reasoning widout fail.. also remember to maintain a very well organized rough work during d test….bec i had hardly managed 2 get 10 correct answer out of 30… but i tried each n every sum in rough work n marked sumwat similar answers…
2) Verbal section: – This section waz considered to b simpler than the logical section by most but verbal section turned out to be the toughest section of all time.. the entire verbal section waz of GRE level n by no means an easy one…but dont panic !!!
wat i did waz completed 30 q’s out of 40 by dedicating enough time to each question…n den d remaining 10 q’s of RC….in last 5 mins…bec d RC’s were of 3 pages n 2 pages each…so no point in wasting time der…jst read d RC questions n try 2 luk for d answers ….
