Hello frndz Its me TANUMOY frm BENGAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY wishing u all d best for ur upcoming INFOSYS placement......well before i went for it i thot it was very hard and i hvno chance.....but now dat i have cleared it then i feel dat its not dat too hard.....just u need determination and confidence and MOST IMPORTANTLY ENGLISH.......
There were 2 parts of aptitude test:
1)LOGICAL
2)VERBAL
LOGICAL (30questions
40mins....60% cutoff)
(a) A cube sum of painting its sides and thene dividing into 1000 small
cubes...and then 5 questions on it....
(b) Figure matrix....u have to choose d odd one out or d next figure in
line.....5 questions
(c) 5 Data Sufficiency problem...easy ones
(d) 5 Questions on Data Interpretation....a table was given on rice and wheat
production....easy but lengthy....will suggest to do this at last.
(e) 5 Questions on Puzzle test...it was d simplest of d lot.....there were 5
houses 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
just go thru RS Aggarwal.....and its enuff for d LOGICAL part......i ll suggest u to go for d maximum marks here because its d easiest part than verbal.....while selecting they may go for d aptitude marks too....
VERBAL(40questions 35mins....50%
cutoff)
(a) 2 Simple comprehensions....4 Questions each...answers all given in d passage
directly just needed to find them.....Do these at last....
(b) 8 Questions on Choosing d appropriate sentence frm four options....these are
a bit tricky....they all seem to b correct.....practise sentence
construction.....
(c) 8 Questions on sentence correction in which u have to find correct
replacement for underlined part in d sentence
(d) 8 Questions on Fill in d blanks with suitable grammatical words.....again
all d 4 options ll seem correct.....
(e) 8 Questions on Theme Detection......for each question a situation/passage is

So friends this is d verbal part.....it may look easy but its a lot more tricky than being hard.....and this is where most of d students gets elliminated...strange isnt it????
