hi friends...this is Sriram Mohan Nedunuri I attended pool campus of Infosys on 5th Feb. 2008 at COER, Roorkee and got selected finally. There were students from 6 colleges n were about 1200. First there was presentation on Infosys and about 1o’clock we gave written exam. Around 380 students were selected for HR and finally around 250 got selected.
Here is the pattern dear frnds
1.logical reasoning (30 ques) 40 min
2.English section (40 ques) 35 min
For logical reasoning go through rs aggarwal, the imp chapters well, that’s
enough but do them thoroughly.
The logical section consisted of the following ques....
1.2 puzzle tests of 10 marks..... .(just go thru RS AGARWAL its more than
enough.....).
2.5 series figure ques of 5 marks .its like odd figure out – very easy( go
thru RS AGARWAL...NON VERBAL SECTION more than enough).
3.5 ques on data sufficiency .questions in this section were so easy try to do
data sufficiency first u can complete in 3-4 mins . some are given below.
1.PQR is an isosceles triangle. What’s the length of PQ?
a. The length of QR is 7.

4.5 ques on logical reasoning or syllogism... (Go thru rs agarwal also go thru
the LR part of the cat material)
5. Data interpretation of 5 ques (Just go thru the rs agarwal aptitude
book......it is best as i preffered the same)
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.

non-verbal puzzle...they will just see

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
