Hi Friends,
I am Pawan Sahu from TIT BHOPAL. the Test was conducted at 22 jan 2012 and interview was scheduled at 7 feb 2012. There are three steps of the Syntel recruitment process
1) Written test
It was conducted online. You have to solve 45 questions in 45 minutes. You can’t go back to the previous question. If you don’t know then guess the answer and go to next question. There is no negative marking. Initial questions were very time consuming puzzles. don’t give extra time to any question. Follow the R. S. Agrawal Verbal and Nonverbal Reasoning. All Patterns of questions are given in this book.
2) Group discussion:
It is also an elimination round. Try to correlate topic with different issues. If they give topic “circle” then don’t discuss circle. It is an abstract topic. You can talk about circle of friends and harmony. Show your general awareness don’t sit idle. Be active in GD.
