SYNTEL PAPER
hello guys
I am Arka from Guru
Nanak Engg College..
doin my 4-1 .. Recently
i got thru da selection
process of Syntel.. The
event was held in Malla
Reddy College of
Engineering. As the
remaining posts here
say... The aptitude
consists of two
sections.. Reasoning and
Verbal...The cut off for
reasoning is 13 out of
25 questions and verbal
needed 8 out of 15
questions.. U have a
time of 1 hr to
complete... My test
started in da afternoon
n it took nearly 4-5 hrs
to announce da results
for aptitude..
Aptitude is the first
hurdle.. n gettin thru
this means half of the
job is done.... If u hav
taken up GRE coaching ..
try solving the verbal
part first n then come
to reasoning.. but if u
hav taken up a coachin
of CAT then go for
reasoning first.. as
this section wil b very
easy for them...
reasoning is tough if u
dnt hav touch wid it..
but refer some books n
understand da
methodologies to solve
them before goin
in..(howeva u'll shud
better wat u shud do
frst)
Nearly 1000 students
appeared for this test..
n they selected 200 out
of them..n 36 were of my
coll...nearly 8 colleges
had participated. The
remaining rounds were
scheduled to be held
four days later on
sunday at 9 am.. They
arranged us into batches
n dependin on the batch
either technical or HR
cum GD was done first...
My first interview was
HR cum GD... it wasn't
so tough...Our whole
batch was allowed in all
together.. n everyone
had to talk abt self for
2 mins.. they basically
check the communication
n interactive skills
here.. The HR may even
ask some questions to
check ur confidence..
but be confident in
wateva ur answerin...
Then she gave us a topic
on GD.. Our topic was
Globalization... Some
advice wud lik to giv
is.. neva b in a hurry
to speak.. as if it is
da only time u'll b
allowed to speak.. dnt
try to cut others
statements n make ur
point.. try comin to a
conclusion n neva keep
quiet in a GD.. speak
somethng...
As soon as i came out of
the HR interview they
intimated me dat i was
selected and had to go
for technical round. The
technical round wudn't
say is tough... but yes
