u really need to have a
zeal in ur heart to get
thro an interview
process....it all
started 4 me from the 6
sem vacations..........i
become almost a maniac
in the month of june..............solved
each n every problem
from RS AGGARWAL non
verbal reasoning..quite
big one...........it was
like 24 hrs a day was
not enough 4 me to get
thro the
topics.......................i
attended the CTS on 23
june..did the aps and
nonverbal exceptionally
well except 4 the verbal
which thrashed my CTS
dream ..................i
came out with a heavy
heart but determined to
do better in
future...................JESUS
gave me another chance
that too in a row of 6
companies
following.......................what
ever i studied earlier
helped me to get thro
the aps of caritor...........the
paper was really a
standard
one................but
luck diddnt favoured me
in the tech
interview....it was a
burning hell
..........lasted upto 45
minutes................nearly
40 to 50
questions.............5
from cricket,4 from
organic chemistry,7 from
digital electronics,6
from microprocessors n
controllers,4 current
affairs,5 from
communication ,2 from
art of cooking and bit
of stress interview
about smoking and 3
puzzles and some silly
questions from XP but
very difficult to
answer.................
After getting rejected i
came to the hotel room
by 8 pm and relaxed
myself.........the next
day was SYNTEL
interview.....didnt even
touched any of the aps
book,C book,dept
books...just slept by 11
and got up by
7..........went to VIT
where the process was
about to
begin....................
The SYNTEL professionals
were well organised
,came on time started
the process with clear
instructions...................
The whole paper consist
of 40
questions................25
logical .....15
verbal..............with
section cut offs
LOGICAL::

5 on seating
arrancements

substitute the correct
words
results were announced
1.45
pm.......................nearly
1200 students
attended........only 202
were selected for GD..............3
including me ,were there
from my coll............then
the PPT began n lasted
for 30
minutes...................
GROUP DISCUSSION:: this
is the main session in
SYNTEL placement
procedure....where they
filter nearly 60 to 70 %
of
students..............after
a long wait it started 4
my batch at 6.30pm
The HR asked our opinion
for the
topic..........................every
one over there blabbered
as if they were true
professionals.....................when
it came to me i just
knocked all their heads
with an hammer ie the
topic................Is
GD really necessary in a
recruiting
process.................finally
my topic was
chosen......and i waited
until 7 finished out of
12.....to my surprise i
found all of them were
telling that GD should
be there in a selection
process...........i was
perplexed bcoz i was
also about to support
it...............at the
last moment my presence
of mind and spontaniety
helped me to outwit
others...i spoke for
more than 5 minutes
about the other side of
group discussion which
could make any one have
a second thought about
having it in a selection
process.......
.................my
command over the
language and my very own
style and accent
attracted all the group
members and the HR
ofcourse.......................then
from the next four 3
opposed me and my
classmate alone
supported
me............finally 3
were selected from my
batch .........we 2 and
1 more
guy...................
What i am going to tell
u might be inferior but
thats true in SYNTEL......................the
GD is your HR interview
where they decide
whether u are HR select
or
reject...................hands
down i got selected in
it....................my
tech interview was like
a
formality................................
TECHNICAL INTERVIEW::
HR:give me the
photocopies of ur
marksheets.......................
ME: gave with a pleasant
smile
HR: tell me about urself
ME:started of in
style...........but he
interrupted me many
times with some silly
questions...................(that
was to check whether i
get distracted due to
small
disturbances...............but
i was shrewd enough to
overcome those things)
HR:types of topologies
ME: answered
HR: cond
given............which
one will suit this
ME:answered briefly
HR:diff bw
microprocessors and
controller
ME: said it initially
right but at last gave a
wrong conclusion
HR:diff between defining
and declaring a variable
in C
ME: total collapse...the
lady who selected me in
GD was there in the
room........she started
to laugh like anything
with the Hr on hearing
my answer...............
