INFOSYS PATTERN & INTERVIEW - 27 JUL 2007 - MUMBAI

Hi Friends

Kuntal here frm Somaiya engg coll in Mumbai. I got selected on 27th July after clearin APTITUDE n den HR...

The aptitude papers comprised of two sections: -
1) Logical Reasoning - It waz based on CAT papers...some questions were really tough... I had hardly refered any CAT book before so i took loads ot time solving them...

u guys do refer IMS notes of logical reasoning widout fail.. also remember to maintain a very well organized rough work during d test....bec i had hardly managed 2 get 10 correct answer out of 30... but i tried each n every sum in rough work n marked sumwat similar answers...

2) Verbal section: - This section waz considered to b simpler than the logical section by most but verbal section turned out to be the toughest section of all time.. the entire verbal section waz of GRE level n by no means an easy one...but dont panic !!!

wat i did waz completed 30 q's out of 40 by dedicating enough time to each question...n den d remaining 10 q's of RC....in last 5 mins...bec d RC's were of 3 pages n 2 pages each...so no point in wasting time der...jst read d RC questions n try 2 luk for d answers ....

i think the cutoff waz jst 50 % for both the sections...380 students had appeared n only 51 cleared the Apitude....
