Interview procedure....
am a b.e.(i.t.) grad-2003 passout. the ad from polaris
calling for freshers appeared in "The Hindu" sometime
around july end/august beginning(i dont exactly

then,got shortlisted for the written test which was at
loyola college,chennai on 10th august,2003. was called

the written test was based on GRE/IIM CAT pattern
the written test pattern was:
Analyical (35 Q)
Quanatitative (45 Q)
Verbal (40 Q)
in 1 1/2 hours...no negative marking--so,i patiently
answered anals and verbal and guessed mostly on
quantitative since some tedious calculations were
involved and there wasnt enuf time.
There was no restriction of order of the
sections-so,one cud attempt questions according to
one's comfort and preference.
Personal Interview was partly technical and partly
hr--no fixed format and duration.mine was for 15
minutes.
i really must thank chetana ma'am for this wonderful
group which was my source of encouragement thru'out
the difficult phase of job hunt for the past 2
months...whenever, i'd lose hope,some new suitable
opportunity wud crop up on the grp and i'd
enthusiastically apply...if it were not for this
group, i'd have ended up getting depressed long
ago...i just hope and pray everyone of us
gets a worthy job. and hope this group continues to
remain an inspiration and encouraging factor
for the hordes of jobseekers every year.

I was really inspired reading the experiences of people who got into a good company thru the group.All of us belonging to the group are lucky and we just have to work hard with the right attitude.
The Written Test Pattern:
Analogy (35 Q)
Quanatitative (45 Q)
Verbal (40 Q)
In Total, We'd to attend 120 Qs in 90 Min, so we'd to race against the time. The English paper was just a bit higher than Spoken English, but was not hi-fi like GRE English. But this could b completed within 15 min. And reg -ve marnking, nothing was mentioned, so we'd to refrain from wild guessing. There was no restriction of order of the sections, we cud attend it in any order. And Persaonl Interview was quite cool.
