 Hi friends this is Mani. I am here to share my experience of infosys recruitment drive held at QIS engineering college. Around 1500 students attend the drive.there are two rounds:

• Written Test
• HR

Before attending to the drive i heard that the written test is very difficult to clear...but after writing the test i felt it quite normal one and anyone can clear it with sufficient preparation. written test contains two sessions

• General Ability (30 Questions 40 Minutes)
• Verbal Reasoning(40 Questions 35 Minutes)
• General ability section is easy compared to verbal and it contains the following topics
• 5 questions on symbols.
• 5 questions on statements and conclusions
• 2 puzzles (2*5=10 questions)
• 5 questions on syllogism
• 5 questions on data interpretation pie diagrams)

Refer time material for data interpretation questions and refer verbal and nonverbal R.S.Agarwal for remaining. u can easily do this section if u refer above two books. coming to the verbal section, it contains 40 questions that should be done only in 35 Minutes. So we should do this section very quickly. verbal section contains following questions.

• 15 questions from correction of sentences
• 2 reading comprehension (2*5=10 questions)
• 10 Question form fill in the blanks(prepositions)
• 5 questions from paragraph conclusions small paragraph will be given we need to find the conclusion).

Refer "objective English for competitive exams " book of correction of sentences. remaining depends on your English ability. read the passages thoroughly so that u can easily answer 10 questions from them.
passage conclusion also very easy read them carefully. the important thing is there will be an sectional cut of for both sections. it is around 18 for general ability and 22 for verbal reasoning.
finally 202 students cleared the written test and the HR interview was scheduled on 24th and 25th march.

 HR interview : Before the interview coordinators checked our mark lists and after some time i was called for HR interview. HR interviewer is an very old person and very he was very friendly. after entering into the room he shook my hand and asked to take my seat. i thanked him and took my seat. he started asking the questions in friendly manner with a smile in his face. it gave me a lot of confidence and with the same confidence I answered the questions. the questions are here:-

Hi friends, I m vijaya lakshmi and got selected in Infosys in Anna University off-campus. Am sharing my experience i think this information will be useful to you.

According to Infosys there are two rounds:

1. Written
2. HR
Most of the screening of students is in first round (written exam) only. In written exam two question papers will be given first Aptitude and second Verbal.

Pattern like this:

• Logical reasoing (30ques-40min)
• Verbal ability (40ques-35min)

The logical reasoning is some what okay when compare to verbal ability... i prepared logical reasoning in R.S.Aggarwel ... the verbal ability consist of reading comprehension and grammer . The grammer is the same we studied in schoolings but the thing is that we have to refresh that grammer and be alert while answer the questions .. The reading comprehension is too long so you first read the questions and then search answer for that question in long para.

After 75 mins they collect the both papers as a whole. we waited for many hours in that i got selected for second round HR.The next day is the HR round . The HR is very friendly the mainly focus of our fluency in Englisy and how confidence we are .. I answered with full confidence. For me most of the question asked from my resume and my project.. at last HR asked any questions from me.

I asked what will be my designation after i got progressed. And also asked about training period.. One good thing is no technical round in Infosys.. After waiting for long time they announced result .. Thank god i m one among the selected candidates ... Dont worry prepare aptitude, verbal well and in hr answer with full confidence you will get into Infosys.

STEP 3: TEST OF ARITHMETIC REASONING AND ANALYTICAL THINKING
30 Questions
45 Minutes

U can refer VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL REASONING book by R.S. AGARWAL.. It is more than enough.. also no need to do everthing in that book.. just do these topics
1. PUZZLES,
2. DATA SUFFICENCY,
3. PICTURES SERIES COMPLETION/OR SELECTING ODD PICTURE OUT OF 5
4. SYLLOGISMS (V.EASY..IT SAVED ME)

We had 5 sections each with 5 divisions

1) Had 1 Puzzle based on direction sense.. was easy but lenghty, so i attempted at the end. it had 5 sub divisions
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..v simple... people may think how it can be so easy, and they tend to find something complicated in that but the fact is it is v simple

5 figures in a series were given n we had to find the ODD figure.. five same kind of questions..
like out of five geometrical shapes 4 were divided into 4 equal parts, but one of them was having 5 parts..thats it

also like a rectangle shifting by angle 45 in a circle in every figure.. but there was a tiny circle besides that rectangle(ppl may think it is a printing mistake,and dont give it importance), but tht tiny circle was missing in one of the diagram.. so tht was odd figure.. similar kind of silly questions were there.

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 (specially in problems related to maths equations, ages, relations, comparison) from RS Aggarwal Verbal n Non Verbal will help u alot. 5 such questions were given

4) Another Puzzle kind of question.. it was damn easy.. it was like
MR.natwarlal, a thief, steals only on the first day of every month of first quarter of year (that means on 1st jan, 1st feb, 1st march).. this time he wanted a computer, So he steals different parts from different persons.
but he has only 3 tools to use like a screwdriver, wirecutter, knife AND uses them only once. he steals monitor, keyboard and printer..in jan he steals monitor from A, but do not uses the wirecutter.. next month he uses KNIFE to steal printer..and march was unlucky for C..
and questions were like
1.Which tool he uses for stealing monitor.(ans: screwdriver)
2.which component was stolen from C (ans:keybboard)
3.which month was unlucky for B( ans:feb, as A, C were robbed in jan and march)
(REST TWO i dont remember)

5) Syllogism
In this section abt 4 statements were given in each questions (like all,some,not)
It was more like..

1.
A)ALL BIRDS ARE CATS
B)SOME CATS ARE CRAZY
C)SOME DOGS ARE BIRDS
D)BIRDS ARE CRAZY

Which of these FORM pair so that the conclusion  can be derived from them
1)AB 2) BC 3)CD 4)AD

JUST REFER THESE TYPES OF QUESTIONS IN RS AGARWAL,(VERBAL NON VERBAL ONE)in logical part first chapter, syllogisms

STEP 4: VERBAL
40 Questions
30 Mins

You get 2 comprehensions both were quite simple but do the comprehensions at the end.. Read the questions FIRST briefly.. then read the comprehension with proper concentration, understanding each statement.. u can easily answer the questions 5 in each.. AS THEY are lenghty attempt them at the end.. It will consume a lot of time..

10 Sentence Completions
4 statements almost the same but with some difference.. mark the one which is grammatically correct.. look for spelling mistakes.. grammar errors etc..

5 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..

5 small paragraphs and we have to choose what conclusion we can derive from them,4 options will be given and we have to choose the most suitable..

A PERSON WITH AVG. KNOWLEDGE OF ENGLISH GRAMMER CAN DO IT EASILY.. JUST REFER YOUR ANY HIGH SCHOOL GRAMMER BOOK.

STEP 5: HR INTERVIEW
In the HR round u are basically asked abt ur self, ur r?sum?. 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
2) being an electronics student WHY u want job in software indusry
3) WHY I HAVE NOT DONE ANY PROJECT??????
4) and they asked abt my hobbies, my achievements, extra curricular activities (so mention everything properly in ur resume,they will ask questions based on what all youu hav written in ur resume)

They hardly eliminated people in the HR.. It is enough if u speak confidently.. yes B confident, and dont try to bluff them.. and dont try to memorise any answer.. they will find out.. even u have memorized, atleast pretend to think when u answer.

Getting thru Infy is not tough at all.. If ur good with ur Apti n have a good command over English its enough..

All the Best..
