L & T INFOTECH PAPER ON 21st JANUARY 2008
Round 1: written Aptitude exam...
TOTAL STUDENTS APPEARED : 1000+
SHORT LISTED : 190 in written aptitude there were 3 sections....
Section A : it was quantitative aptitude test...there were 30 questions...i think R.S. Aggarwal is more than enough for the test...this part was quiet easy. the important chapters of RS aggarwal for this part are: NUMBERS,TIME AND DISTANCE,PROBABILITY,P&C,BOATS & STREAMS,PROBLEMS ON TRAINS,AVERAGE,RATIO PROPORTION AND GRAPHS AND PIE CHARTS... these topics are more than enough to clear the quantitative...LET ME CLEAR THIS POINT THAT TIME MANAGEMENT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING..
Section B: this part was verbal non- verbal reasoning...this part was very confusing...in earlier exams i saw there were some similar type of ques. like if there is ODD MAN OUT then there will b 5 ques. under that topic...but in our exam i saw all the ques. were of different type...so prepare well for dis part...cover all types from the book... I THINK THIS PORTION MADE THE DIFFERENCE...SO COVER ALL THE TYPES ...
Section C : this portion was English...english was also easy...i think anybody who has cleared 12th exam in english medium can do it,,,only challenging part was Antonyms and Synonyms. the words were like totally unknown...prepare for antonyms and synonyms...IN THE END THERE WAS A PASSAGE...I WAS ALSO OK.. I HAVNT FOLLOWED ANY BOOK FOR ENGLISH... I THINK THERE IS NO NEED ...JUS GO FOR QUANT AND VERBAL NON VERBAL... THE TRICK FOR DOING APTI IS GO FOR THE QUES. WHICH HAV MULTIPLE PARTS...LIKE FOR ONE PASSAGE U HAVE 5 QUES. OR SOME OTHER TYPE...
we had TOTAL OF 90 QUES. AND 90 MINS TO SOLVE THEM...12 TO 1:30..TIME MANAGEMENT IS VERY IMP. DONT JUS GET STUCK TO ONE PART ONLY..FIRST TRY TO ATTEMPT 20-20 QUES OF EACH PART AS THERE WAS SECTIONAL CUT-OFF...SO BE CAREFUL ABT TIME SO I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY THAT I WAS AMONG THOSE 190
ROUND 2: GROUP DISCUSSION...
AT ABOUT 6:30 the result for apti was announced...the different groups for
GD were announced..i was in 16th group...i was very much affraid of GD but my
suggestion will b "Be casual.." Just b urself...they r jus luking for Confidence
and team work..dont overpower anybody..jus b cool and calm...give ur points at
equal intervals...dont try to b oversmart... Topics were very...jus go thru the
current affairs,,,like benazir bhutto,Nano car, india aussie cricket match
ets...my topic was India australia sydney test...so i was quiet confident... use
SIMPLE ENGLISH...no need to go for hard words,,,be polite and mannered...it was
for 15 mins...at about 9:30 pm we were given the result of gd and forms were
distributed... that form was like resume...it required ur overall
performance...about ur family,school,college...all semesters...extra cullicular
acivities etc etc..fill tht form carefully..it shoul match ur resume.. out of
190 students 100 were shortlisted for interview next day...
