INFOSYS Placement Papers
INFOSYS PAPER ON 30th JANUARY AT FARIDABAD
Hi friends I m Anuj Gupta studying B.Tech(EC) 3yr in GALGOTIA, gr.
noida.There was written exam on 30th jan 2008 in MRCE, faridabad of Infosys.
4 colleges participated- Galgotia, MRCE, GNIT, FIT.
They had PPT with us . that was gud n u must present in tht. u will
definitely get some idea abt infosys. I still remember one thing of ppt
“Infosys need those who want 2 marry with infosys not those who want to have
affair”
WRITTEN EXAM:
here frankly speaking i didnt prepare anything for infosys. only luck made
me 2 through this.
there were two sections:-
I.Critical reasoning
II.Verbal ability
for critical reasoning u need 2 be focussed, concentated and apply ur full
mind and nothing else u need 2 have(ofcourse gud luck is must!!).
for verbal ability the questions involve tenses, word meanings, prepositions
and some basic english gammer rules.
there were 2 reading compehensions 5 ques each and these d most scoring
among verbal. first read d ques n then find d answer frm d passage.Take care
of one thing FORGET everything which u know abt the passage aleady. just
answer the questions from what is given in the pasage.
Time management is ofcourse important to answer all the questions in time.
IMPORTANT:
NO NEGATIVE MARKING
u will be given rough sheet. Solve ur answers on rough sheet as neat as u
can.
this rough sheet is evaluated at the time of interview
Before the written exam u will be given a form. U r required 2 write ur %
and some other personal details and also paste a photo.
If u take ur photo in formals(tie,coat), that will be best.
Fill ur % CAREFULLY.
Well that’s all about written exam. After sometime d results were announced
and our college students those cleared written were asked 2 report next day
with 2 copies of RESUME, Originals and photocopies of our certificates.
INTERVIEW:
In the interview of Infosys, usually no technical questions are asked unless
u mention something big in ur resume e.g. my friend mentioned about robotics
so she was asked questions abt robot etc.
Prepare puzzles from internet and from shakuntala devi as puzzles are the
main issue in interview and also some questions of G.K. e.g. president of
india, her husband, capital of u.p., J&K etc.
Basically they r not interested ur answer of puzzles, they r checking ur
approach
So solve them nicely on the paper as u can or explain them verbally how r u
solving ur problem.
usually very old people r HRs of Infosys. They want us 2 be very POLITE and
confident.
So be POLITE and DON’T SHOW UR ATTITUDE. DON’T ARGUE with them.
Prepare some common things e.g. which newspaper u read, name of its editor,
which sections of paper u read, hw u gather information, wht u surf on
internet, do u hv any girlfriend etc
My HR was a very old person. My experience is as follows:
HR: come in
Me: gud afternoon sir
HR: have ur seat
Me: thnku sir
Hr: give ur resume
I stood and gave it
Hr: tell me abt urself
Me: bla bla
Hr: u hv filled ur % in ur form. R u confident on them?
Me: yes sir
Hr: then sign here
Me:I signed
Hr: is it ur first interview in Infosys?
Me: yes sir
Hr: then sign here
Me: I signed
Hr: so anuj, whats ur family background?
Me: bla bla
Hr: so u r the only son of ur family
Me: yes sir
Hr: then ur mother will have problem if we will send u at far off places?
Me: no sir she will nt have any problem
Hr: no she will have
It takes me sometime 2 convince him but finally he was looking convinced
Then he pointed 2 my resume and underlined my achievements and asked:
Hr: u don’t have any achievement in college?
Me: actually sir I participated in many events but unable 2 achieve any
Hr: what kind of events?
Me: explained
Hr: u also didn’t participate in any outdoor activity?
Me: yes sir I didn’t participate in any outdoor activity because I m
suffering frm Myopia and doctor told me nt 2 do any physical exercise
Hr: oh I see, so whats ur power of spect?
I said the same as written in my form
Hr: this is not much
Me: but sir its increasing readily
Hr: oh I see
Hr: how do u increase ur knowledge?
Me: newspaper, internet surfing and interacting with people
Hr: hw many times in a week u go to internet

Hr: tell me ur three strengths
Me: optimist, never give up attitude, don’t get angry easily
Hr: hw do u knw tht u don’t get angry easily?
Me: this is wht my colleages, parents and relatives says
Hr: when do u get annoyed?
Me: when I see people r taking advantage of someone’s trust
Hr: whats ur career objective?
Me: I answered something which shows my commitment to the organization
Hr: do u want to ask any question?
Me: yes sir, I want to know abt training session and hw my job profile will
be decided
Hr: he explained me and then asked me 2 leave
Me: thanku sir
Well that’s all I was not asked any puzzle or something related 2 studies.
I m also writing some points where my friends make mistakes:
When he asks r u confident on ur % say yes. If u have any doubt clear it
after ur interview by taking help of ur TPO etc. Don’t show that u lack of
confident
Paste ur photo in formals as I hv already told
Don’t argue with interviewer. Don’t show attitude.
Be POLITE and HONEST. Of course hv gud body lang and eye contact etc etc.
Then after waiting for sometime results were announced and my name was
there. Among Galgotia, 90 were selected.
Good luck friend
