Our interview process
had 3 stages
1.Logical & English
2.HR Round
3.Technical Round
Logical & Reasoning:
This round in syntel is
a bit difficult compared
to other written papers
as it does'nt have any
aptitude and u hav
nothin to work with
formulas. You have 25 Qs
from Logical(Verbal &
Non Verbal)Reasoning ,
15 Qs from English
R.S Agarwal Verbal & Non
Verbal Reasoning book is
more than enough.

classification, series
completion, coding &
decoding, Blood

Syllogism,analytical
Reasoning

Synonymns, Find the
Gramatical error,
Complete the sentence.
I did'nt hav Qs from all
these topics but these r
the topics u can expect
in ur written test.
Test Duration is 1 hour.
Type - filling the omr
sheet
Time management is very
important.
Practice all type of
problems as it takes u
more time to solve cos
these are not aptitude
type Qs. After the
Written Test about 2 hrs
Later the results were
anounced. My name was
the last one to be read
out. Then The PPT was
conducted and presented
about their company's
vision, mission,
customers, the training,
salary, bond ect. We
were said that we had to
sign a bond of 2 yrs for
a pay of 2.6 lacs PA.
Later we were given a HR
form to be filled were u
enter personal
information and Key
skills. U can expect Qs
from key skills.

easy for me.

I WALKED IN AND OUT WITH
CONFIDENCE
TECH ROUND:
the QS were from core
subjects ,c ,c++ and
data structures for me
and all of my frnds. As

like

software life cycle

3.does the slice time
change
4.On wat basis
4.Dif b/w System s/w &
appln s/w
5.named a few s/w and
told to identify them
and y.
6.Wat is a tree
7.Explain Binary tree
8.wat is the basic rule
of binary tree
9.Explain Linked List
10.Explain Stack & Queue
I Dint prepare tech that
deep so I walked in
nervous. But Qs were
easy but still cudnt cum
out with ans b'cos of
nervousness. Later aftr
4 Qs i was confident &
answered. My tech
Interview performance
was not that good even
though I got selected.
Its Important to know
that they look out for
good communication
skills.
One last tip : One of my
best friends who has an
Excellent Academic
Perfomance & good
communication skills was
out in HR round just of
1 reason.
He was caught in a Q -
who is ur role model?
He answered Bill Gates
and the interviewer
started firing Qs about
Bill Gates, and he got
caught in aQ - Wat was
the latest award he got?
The interviewer asked
him cant u keep urself
well informed about ur
role model and he was
out .
So better tell a person
whom u r confident abt
or else opt for options
like 10th maths ma'am,
My Uncle ,DAD ect..
noting down a few
success and good
characters.
Hope my experience
Explains and u get a
little idea about Syntel,
Prepare well.......See
you at Syntel..........
