Hai friends,
I am very much happy to write that i made it into INFOTECH as Software Engineer Trainee, I wrote this est on 22nd of MARCH on which Writen test and GD were conducted and the shorltisted candidtaes were asked to appear for Interview (both Tech and HR) on 25th at their Office. They gave the offer letter on 30th of MARCH.
My joining date is on 2nd June 2005, HYDERABAD [first 6 months training].
I’m posting my GD n Interview Experience:
The selection procedure is like this
1. Written Test
2. Group Discussion
3. Technical Interview
4. HR Interview
WRITTEN TEST:
The written test consisted of 5 sections namely Quantitative (15 Questions), Analytical ability (14 Questions), Sentence completion (6 Questions), Reading Comprehension (2 Passages each with 5 Questions), Data Interpretation (1 set with 5 Questions).
The quant consisted of mainly ratios, simple equations i.e. word problems, mixtures and simple/compound Intrest. [Suggested book R.S. Agarwal]
The analytical reasoning consisted of a small puzzle and u need to solve it to answetr the questions following that set. [suggested book R.S. Agarwal]
coming to sentence completetion, though the heading was sentense completetion they asked questions related to vocabulary i.e. 3 Synonyms and 3 Antonyms and the words are not which were being asked frequently in other tests. [suggested book Barrons]
The reading comprehension had two passages each of length 100-200 words and the questions were easy.
The data interpretation section was dead easy and everybody could solve 5 on 5 with most of them claiming 100% accuracy.
The main thing is that one needs to qualify in each section in order to clear the written test. The best part of the test is that at the beggining of each section they clearly mentioned the number of questions one need to get correct in order to qualify that particular section.
GROUP DISCUSSION:
The discussion was for 15 minutes and there were 14 members. The topic gives was “CAN MAN B EVER REPLACED BY MACHINE”. They clearly told what are the qualities they r looking for in a person before the starting of the idscussion like ability to communicate ur idea effectively 2 the group, ur ability 2 listen to athers points by giving them a chance, etc etc… In the GD initially everybody were asked to speak on that topic for a max. of 1 minute, after everybody completed it was an open discussion for all.
The other topics were “DOES INDIA NEED A DICTATOR” and “IS THERE A NEED FOR INCREASE IN DEFENSE BUDGET”.
