Hi, this is Bharath, Initially vote of thanks to the people who have helped
me in cracking the infy by giving their experiences.
The process consists of two rounds, now a days infy is conducting three
rounds which consists of one technical & hr. During my interviews some of
the people have undergone 2 rounds of interview, so be prepared, u may
interviewed once or twice, depending upon their requirement.
In this first thing is the written test, and during off campus short listing
of candidates will be very less, and the short listing will be mainly based
on the English test which is of 40 marks, & I think one should get minimum
30 marks for getting short listed, and u al well know that interview is lite.
In case of Reasoning test, there will be one hard puzzle & one easy puzzle,
easy puzzle can be solved easily if one solves all the puzzles in the non
verbal reasoning, easy puzzle 4 me is there are 5 teachers, each teacher
teaches a subject, no teacher teaches more than two subjects and another
clue stating the teacher’s subject & day of teaching and questions are which
teacher teaches the subject, on which day does this teacher teaches and so
on.
Coming to hard puzzle there are three frnz x,y,z. x has an amount of rs.160,
y has an amount of rs.120, z has an amount of rs.80. and the man who have
highest amount of money has to give the half of the difference between the
two members, and this process stops if the difference between any two of the
members is less than rs5, and questions are like wat is the final amt at x,
how many iterations will it take to stop the game and so on. In case of hard
puzzles, the infy people are just copying the examples 4m the IMS material
for CAT, I have said this as me and my frnz got the puzzles 4m it, and
theres no even change in the numerical, so try 2 go through it once
And data interpretation do it in the last, and the calculations wil be very
hard so do only rough calculations not exactly
(and u people can note the questions on rough sheet as they wil take only
question papers but not the answer papers, so if u have time left out u can
solve them)
And next 5 question based on series (but we cant say that every time they
give only series they may also give odd man out as one of my friends got
them) and the questions are very easy
And next 5 questions on syllogisms, and I can recollect just 2 questions,
find the area of triangle
height of the median is given
two sides are given
Find the length of the cord
If the diameter of the circle is given
And the angle made by the sector is 60deg
Coming to English, u must have strong grip on tenses as u can gain 15 marks
if ur strong in tenses as u can get 5 marks 4m fill in the blanks with
appropriate tenses, and 10 marks 4m correction of sentences,
And coming to pattern of the English, consists of two comprehension
passages, 5 fill in blanks, 10 correction of sentences (in case of
correction of sentences corrections are based on tenses, direct& indirect
speech, active& passive voice) and find the logically correct sentence
And they gave the list of short listed candidates in the evening and they
have selected just 92 candidates out of 900, and they scheduled interview on
the next day at Infy’s corporate office
