The pioneers of the teaching of science imagined that its introduction into education would remove the conventionality, artificiality, and backward-lookingness which were characteristic;of classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed. So, too, in? their time had the humanists thought that the study of the classical authors in the original would banish at once the dull pedantry and superstition of mediaeval scholasticism. The professional schoolmaster was a match for both of them, and has almost managed to make the understanding of chemical reactions as dull and as dogmatic an affair as the reading of Virgil's Aeneid.?The chief claim for the use of science in education is that it teaches a child something about the actual universe in which he is??? living, in making him acquainted with the results of scientific discovery, and at the same time teaches him how to think logically and inductively by studying scientific method. A certain limited success has been reached in the first of these aims, but practically none at all in the second. Those privileged members of the community who have been through a secondary or public school education may be expected to know something about the elementary physics and chemistry of a hundred years ago, but they probably know hardly more than any bright boy can pick up from an interest in wireless or scientific hobbies out of school hours.?As to the learning of scientific method, the whole thing is palpably a farce. Actually, for the convenience of teachers and the? requirements of the examination system, it is necessary that the? pupils not only do not learn scientific method but learn precisely? the reverse, that is, to believe exactly what they are told and to reproduce it when asked, whether it seems nonsense to them or not. The way in which educated people respond to such quackeries? as spiritualism or astrology, not to say more dangerous ones such as racial theories or currency myths, shows that fifty years of??? education in the method of science in Britain or Germany has produced no visible effect whatever.?The only way of learning the method of science is the long and bitter way of personal experience, and, until the educational or social systems are altered? to make this possible, the best we can expect is the production of a? minority of people who are able to acquire some of the techniques of science and a still smaller minority who are able to use and? develop them.11.

He was, probably clerically educated, as indicated by his Latin and music, his Biblical and patristic lore. Even today he is remembered for his his quick sympathy for the oppressed and forgotten man, his sharp eye for character, a ready ear for colloquial, vernacular turns of speech and a humor alternately rude and boisterous, coarse and happy. Therefore in spite of his conscious artistry as can be seen in his feeling for intricate metrical and stanza forms, he is regarded as a kind of medieval Steinbeck, indignantly angry at, uncompromisingly and even brutally realistic in presenting the plight of the agricultural poor.?It is now fairly accepted to regard the play as a kind of ultimate point in the secularization of the medieval drama. Therefore more stress has been laid on it as depicting realistically humble manners and pastoral life in the bleak of the west riding of Yorkshire on a typically cold night of December 24th. After what are often regarded as almost ''documentaries'' given in the three successive monologues of the three shepherds, critics go on to affirm that the realism is then intensified into a burlesque mock-treatment of the Nativity. Finally as a sort of epilogue or after-thought in deference to the Biblical origins of the materials, the play slides back into an atavistic mood of early innocent reverence. In actuality, the final scene is the culminating scene and also the raison d’etre of the introductory ''realism.''?Superficially the present play supports the conventional view of its mood of secular realism. At the same time, the ''realism'' of the Wakefield Master is of a paradoxical turn. His wide knowledge of people, as well as books indicates no cloistered contemplative but one in close relation to his times. Still, that life was after all a predominantly religious one, a time which never neglected the belief that man was a rebellious and sinful creature in need of redemption . So deeply (one can hardly say ''naively'' of so sophisticated a writer) and implicitly religious is the Master that he is less able (or less willing) to present actual history realistically than is the author of the Brome Abraham and Isaac. His historical sense is even less realistic than that of Chaucer who just a few years before had done for his own time ''costume romances,'' such as The Knight's Tele, Troilus and Cressida, etc. Furthermore, used highly romantic materials, which could excuse his taking liberties with history.17. Of the following statements, which is not true of Wakefield Master?a) He and Chaucer were contemporaries.b) Wakefield Master is remembered as having written five or six realistic plays.c) His plays realistically portray the plight of the country folk of his dayd) His writing was similar to that of John Steinbeck.e) He was an accomplished artist.Ans: d18. The word 'patristic' in the first paragraph is used to mean.a) Patrioticb) Superstitiousc) Folkd) Relating to the Christian Fatherse) Realistic?Ans: d19. The statement about the ''secularization of the medieval drama'' (opening sentence of the second paragraph) refers to thea) Introduction of religious themes in the early daysb) Presentation of erudite materialc) Use of contemporary materialsd) Return to early innocent reverence at the end of the playe) Introduction of mundane matters in religious plays?Ans: e20. From the following what would the writer be expected to do in the subsequent paragraphs.a) Make a justification for his comparison with Steinbeckb) Put forth a view point, which would take up the thought of the second paragraphc) Point out the anachronisms in the playd) Discuss the works of Chaucere) Talk about the lack of realism in the works of the Wakefield Master.Ans: b?Section 2: Analytical AbilityNo. of Questions: 20Duration in Minutes: 2021.

As a young Portuguese noble, he served the kingof Portugal, but he became involved in the quagmire of political intrigue at court and lost theking's favor. After he was dismissed from service to the king of Portugal, he offered to serve thefuture Emperor Charles V of Spain.A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 degrees W longitudeto Spain and all the land east of that line to Portugal. Magellan offered to prove that the EastIndies fell under Spanish authority. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain withfive ships. More than a year later, one of these ships was exploring the topography of SouthAmerica in search of a water route across the continent. This ship sank, but the remaining fourships searched along the southern peninsula of South America.Finally they found the passagethey sought near a latitude of 50 degrees S. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All Saints, but today we know it as the Strait of Magellan.One ship deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were privileged togaze at that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean. Those who remained crossed the meridian wenow call the International Date Line in the early spring of 1521 after ninety-eight days on thePacific Ocean. During those long days at sea, many of Magellan's men died of starvation anddisease.Later Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed in atribal battle. Only one ship and seventeen sailors under the command of the Basque navigatorElcano survived to complete the westward journey to Spain and thus prove once and for all thatthe world is round, with no precipice at the edge.1.The sixteenth century was an age of great ___exploration.A. cosmicB. landC. mentalD. common manE. none of the above2. Magellan lost the favor of the king of Portugal when he became involved in a political ___.A. entanglementB. discussionC. negotiationD. problemsE. none of the above3.

Imaginary line parallel to the equatorC. areaD. land massE. answer not found in articleComprehension 2Thinking out of the box is one skill, among all other skills, that has shot to prominence. How about a novel approach to help think differently, or out of the box? Crossword-solving is one of the lesser-known approaches to thinking differently. A crossword grid usually has white & black squares in the ratio of 70:30 and sufficient no. of across and down clues to help you fill the white ones. Just as in any other game, one needs a strategy to solve a cross word. A seasoned cross word solver rarely reads the clues in the order presented.As part of the game plan or strategy to avoid straight jacketed thinking, the solver usually ha s a quick glance at the structure of the grid and at the clues to “get the feel” of the greed and forms a quick strategy to solve the crossword. The best part is that with every new grid, the solver has an opportunity to apply a new strategy and learn from past experiences, thereby refining his thinking process and pattern. It is this self-assessment & self feedback that makes solving crossword so fulfilling and amusing.The crossword is one of those rare games that test your knowledge and interest in any and every area of life. Conventional education and work pressure leaves us little time to catch up with a lot of things that exists in this world, thereby limiting our arena of thought. Crossword- solvers get a wonderful chance to delve into newer vistas of life, expanding their mental arena each day.The tidbit of information one acquires essentially does two things: makes the solver realize how little he knows of the world outside his own and a bit more humble. With the brain introduced tonewer and newer wor(l)ds with every new grid, the solver essentially is “expanding the size ofthe box”. The beauty of a crossword lies in the quality of its clues. A good crossword gridprovides clues that strive to tease and challenge the mind to think at a tangent. It demands of you to appreciate different meanings of the same thing still known in management jargon ascreativity and innovation.In fact a good crossword has clues that tax your brain for quite a while and, when you eventuallycrack them, you tell yourself “wasn’t that obvious?”. Let’s take an example. Clue: salty letters(*A*L).Just in case you couldn’t crack that, the answer is NACL. Similarly the answer for theclue “Makeup man” could be LIAR. It is evident smart clues make you think tangentially or outof the box.Crossword challenge over-confidence. One may solve numerous crosswords and gradually develop preconceived notions about a particular clue, not knowing that this time it may bedifferent. For example, you may know that the answer for the clue “Capital of India(5)” is Delhi.However it is also a possibility that the answer is Rupee. If you think you have learnt the trick,try this one: three-letter word for “Capital of Zimbabwe”.Well, don’t get annoyed, the answer is “Zee”. So solving crosswords asks us to challenge our own time-tested assumptions. It demand thinking out of a different box. While crosswords can help us think differently, that holds true only for god quality crosswords. Lay off grids that you crack in a jiffy. Even if some clues look Region-specific, the quality of a crossword makes it worth the effort. While a good vocabulary helps solve crosswords, it is a misconception to believe that one can’t do without it.Solving crosswords is much more about thinking than it is about memorizing words and their meanings. All said and done, you need enormous patience and diligence to really get the best outof solving crosswords. As with life, good things take a long time to happen.8.With the brain introduced to newer and newer words with every new grid,the solver essentially is “expanding the size of the box”.What do you infer from this statement?a)Crosswords differ in size b)we get to enrich our vocabulary by solving crosswords.c)A regular crossword solver expands his knowledge of the world through words.d)Our conventional education does not help us explore the world.9. How can can make up man and LIAR be related?a)A make up man can disgusted people and fool othersb)When a person makes up something,it means he is trying to utter falsehoods to save his skinc)When you cannot be present somewhere you make up for your absence by sending someoneelse.d)When you have missed classes you make up by studying harder10. According to the author you need all the following to solve crosswords EXCEPT?a)A greatdeal of patience b)A passion for solving themc)great knowledge d)A good vocabulary11. It can be inferred from the passage thata)The author is passionate about crosswords b)Today’s youth has no patience for crosswordsc)Crosswords are a waste of time d)Crosswords have lost their orginality12. The idiom to think out of the box in the passage meansa)to be conventionalb)to be overconfidentc)to be able to decipher different connotations of any stated thingd)not to look cluesComprehension 3Marie Curie was one of the most accomplished scientists in history. Together with her husband, Pierre, she discovered radium, an element widely used for treating cancer, and studied uranium and other radioactive substances. Pierre and Marie's amicable collaboration later helped to unlock the secrets of the atom.Marie was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, where her father was a professor of physics. At the early age, she displayed a brilliant mind and a blithe personality. Her great exuberance for learning prompted her to continue with her studies after high school. She became disgruntled, however, when she learned that the university in Warsaw was closed to women. Determined to receive a higher education, she defiantly left Poland and in 1891 entered the Sorbonne, a French university, where she earned her master's degree and doctorate in physics.Marie was fortunate to have studied at the Sorbonne with some of the greatest scientists of her day, one of whom was Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre were married in 1895 and spent many productive years working together in the physics laboratory. A short time after they discovered radium, Pierre was killed by a horse-drawn wagon in 1906. Marie was stunned by this horrible misfortune and endured heartbreaking anguish. Despondently she recalled their close relationship and the joy that they had shared in scientific research. The fact that she had two young daughters to raise by herself greatly increased her distress.Curie's feeling of desolation finally began to fade when she was asked to succeed her husband as a physics professor at the Sorbonne. She was the first woman to be given a professorship at the world-famous university. In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for isolating radium.Although Marie Curie eventually suffered a fatal illness from her long exposure to radium, she never became disillusioned about her work. Regardless of the consequences, she had dedicated herself to science and to revealing the mysteries of the physical world.13. The Curies' ____ collaboration helped to unlock the secrets of the atom.A. friendlyB. competitiveC. courteousD. industriousE. chemistry14. Marie had a bright mind and a __personality.A. strongB. lightheartedC. humorousD. strangeE. envious15. When she learned that she could not attend the university in Warsaw, she felt___.A. hopelessB. annoyedC. depressedD. worriedE. none of the above16.

DejectedlyB. WorriedC. TearfullyD. HappilyE. Sorrowfully18.

Even though she became fatally ill from working with radium, Marie Curie was never ____.A. troubledB. worriedC. disappointedD. sorrowfulE. disturbedComprehension 4After adapting Phoenician graphic-alphabet in 900 BC, the greek employed a vowel system andadded 6 more letters (Ω omega, ψ psi, φ phi, € eta, theta, Z zeta) to make it a 24 letteralphabet.Earlier, β was pronounced as ‘b’. Now in Modern Greek it is pronounced as ‘v’.It took a longtime to develop the letter. There were many greek dialects and there were certain differences intheir style of writing. Lastly the lonian style of lettering was adopted. In general and after 400BC the letters became uniform. The literature and art flourished mainly in the classical greekperiod.Although the dialects of Greek were mutually intelligible within a normal limit of understanding,the pronunciation of words and accents differed from period to period and from dialect todialects. The short and long sounds of vowels also varied in different dialects and the politicalsituations in the country also brought many changes with the inter migration of the dialects. But,during the establishment of Alexander’s empire in the 4th century BC and after the breakdown ofold political barriers, uniformity took place in the spoken language. This form of language wascalled the Koine (means the common language) or Hellenistic Greek (400BC- 600AD).It replaced the other dialects and the speaking and writing systems were much standardized.Grammar also changed in different periods. A change of language is noticed in the writings ofPlato and Demosthenes. The spoken language still kept on changing even during the period ofByzantine empire(500-1500AD) and the written language kept on improving which created a bigrift between the local vernacular and the literary greek. This situation gave birth to a separatekind of “demotic” language of general everyday use.All the major phonological and grammatical changes which are seen between koine and themodern greek mostly happened within this period. Earlier there were 3 numbers for pronounsand verbs, singular, dual and plural. Then “dual” was dropped and only singular and plural wereleft.From ancient Greek to modern Greek the formation of many words were also changed. Forexample the ancient Greek word pente(5) became pende, hepta and octo (7 and 8) became eftaand okhto, paidia(boys) became pedhya and so on. There were also semantic changes in certainwords just as : the word alogho which was previously meant irrational, later it meant “horse”,“skiazome” which previously meant “I am in shadow”, later it meant “ I fear”.The vocabulary of greek language consists of local collections and borrowings. Considering theorigin of Greeks , there were many Mycenaean words in 2nd millennium BC whose original formcorresponded to certain greek words like Leon (Lion), onos (Ass), plephas (ivory) etc.By using pre-verbs, by forming compounds and by adding prefixes or suffixes to this primewords they enriched their vocabulary. Later on they also borrowed a considerable number ofword from other sources, such as, Italian, Turkish, French and also Latin.20.What is the drawback of the Greek dialects in spite of their being intelligible?a)it employed a vowel system b)it took a long time to develop the letterc)the pronounciation ans accept different from period to period and from dialect to dialectd)There were difference in their style of writing21.There came uniformity in the language witha)The breakdown of old political barriers in the 4th century B.C. during the establishment ofAlexander’s empireb)the variation in the long and short vowelsc)the changes that had occurred in the grammard)the intermigration of dialeces22.What was the cause of the rift between the local vernacular and the literary Greek?a)the change in the writing of Plato and Demosthenssb)the adoption of the Phoenician graphic alphabetc)the differences in the style of writing of Greeek dialectsd)the spoken language kept changing while there was improvement with the written language23.How was the vocabulary of the Greek language enriched?a)by forming compounds,using pre-verbs and adding prefixes and suffixes to the main wordsb)by local collections and borrowingsc)with the use of of many Mycehaean wordsd)with the semantic changes in certain words24.Which of the following statements is/are true,according to the passage?a)many European language have words borrowed from the Greekb)demotic language came into being because of the rift between the vernacular and the literaryform of Greekc)In the Modern Greek,there is only one dialecta)A only b)B only c)A & C d)C onlyComprehension 5Mount Vesuvius, a volcano located between the ancient Italian cities of Pompeii andHerculaneum, has received much attention because of its frequent and destructive eruptions. The most famous of these eruptions occurred in A. D. 79.The volcano had been inactive for centuries. There was little warning of the coming eruption,although one account unearthed by archaeologists says that a hard rain and a strong wind haddisturbed the celestial calm during the preceding night. Early the next morning, the volcanopoured a huge river of molten rock down upon Herculaneum, completely burying the city andfilling in the harbor with coagulated lava.Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, cinders, stone and ash rained down on Pompeii.Sparks from the burning ash ignited the combustible rooftops quickly. Large portions of the citywere destroyed in the conflagration. Fire, however, was not the only cause of destruction.Poisonous sulphuric gases saturated the air. These heavy gases were not buoyant in theatmosphere and therefore sank toward the earth and suffocated people.Over the years, excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum have revealed a great deal about thebehavior of the volcano. By analyzing data, much as a zoologist dissects a specimen animal,scientist have concluded that the eruption changed large portions of the area's geography. Forinstance, it turned the Sarno River from its course and raised the level of the beach along the Bay of Naples. Meteorologists studying these events have also concluded that Vesuvius caused ahuge tidal wave that affected the world's climate.In addition to making these investigations, archaeologists have been able to study the skeletonsof victims by using distilled water to wash away the volcanic ash. By strengthening the brittlebones with acrylic paint, scientists have been able to examine the skeletons and draw conclusions about the diet and habits of the residents. Finally, the excavations at both Pompeii and Herculaneum have yielded many examples of classical art, such as jewelry made of bronze,which is an alloy of copper and tin.The eruption of Mount Vesuvius and its tragic consequences have provided us with a wealth ofdata about the effects that volcanoes can have on the surrounding area. Today volcanologists can locate and predict eruptions, saving lives and preventing the destruction of cities and cultures.25.Herculaneum and its harbor were buried under ___lava.A. liquidB. solidC. flowingD. gasE. answer not available26. The poisonous gases were not ___ in the air.A. able to floatB. visibleC. able to evaporateD. invisibleE. able to condense27.

After that written exam wouid be started.Patteren like this1: logicol reasoing(30ques-40min)2: verbal ability(40ques-35min)First of all reasoing paper given that consists structure like this1-5 (three figures given those are some arrangements and fourth given as questoin mark and Select a suitable figure from the Answer Figures that would replace the question mark (?).this type of questions are in indiabix the exact part is non-verbal reasoing analogy part)6-10(simple puzzle)11-15(data interpertation more calculations require)16-20(data suffiency )21-25(did not say complex but some wat tough puzzle)26-30(syllogims)?so after 5min gap verbal paper was given that consists like this1-8(spotting errors)?9-16(choosing apprapriate sentence from the given options)?17-23(sentence filler ,sentence completion,synonyms,antonyms e.t.c will be given)24-30(about theme detection)31-35(small passage)35-40(lenghthy and tough so u go? question to answer)totaly after 75mins answer sheet collected and result announced afetr three hrs sectional cuttoff may be reasoing 60% and verbal 50% based on requirement of those.one thing would remind that if u need compulsary placement in infosys u can do the written paper espacially verbal its look like simple and also answers are nearly same but picking of best one is main thing so do those with another people or with team.All the best guys!?--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hello Friends.?I am?Vipin Kumar?from?MMEC Mullana.

Well, I hadn’t had a good sleep the day before hence I slept the max of the ppt session.2) Aptitude test.It consisted of two sections:a) Reasoning: Probable cut-off 60% total marks 30, time 40mts difficulty level of this section was moderate. Anyone who practices previous Infosys papers and R.S Aggarwal verbal/nonverbal reasoning regularly can clear this part. Some questions were tricky but thinking in right direction will help you clear those questions. As far as I remember the reasoning questions consisted of the following sub-sections.i) Find the odd figure outiii) Data sufficiencyiii) Syllogism (quite tricky)iv) Some quant questions (easy)vi) Data Interpretation (bar graph)b) Verbal: Probable cut-off 50% total marks 40, time 35 mtsThe verbal portion was not at all easy regular english news paper reading helps a lot. Practice unseen and sentence correction, blank fill ups from?Aggarwal/vikas Aggarwal English book. An english medium background helps but I was not from an english medium school.i) Correct sentenceii) Rephrasingiii) Fill in the blanksiv) Inferencev) 2 paragraphs (one short and one long)See the options and decide which paragraph has direct questions asked. Do that first, then do the second.Don’t leave both the para as it will help you clear the cut-offOut of 360, only 83 students were fortunate to clear the cut-off?3) HR Interview:?It is the easy part. The HR people are very good. My interviewer was 60-65 years old. He was very friendly and I never felt uncomfortable answering his questions.The main points one need to remember before giving Infosys HR is that be confident. Try not to tell any lie and if?you do so have information to back it up.Don’t look here and there while giving interview. Try to look in HRs eyes.My interview went like this,?HR: Welcome ritz. Please sit downI sat and greeted him.HR: So what are your hobbies?Me: Told him.HR: Have you any extra curriculur activitiesMe: Told him abt my nack for chess and cricket.HR: You are from a good school, why did you jump to another in higher secondary?Me: Because there was no 12th in my 1st school.HR: So Mr Ritz why should Infosys select you?Me: Told him about my qualities.HR: So give me an example of your qualities.Me: Gave incidence that prove my confidence, positive attitudeHR: Tell me about your project and difficulties faced in working on that?Me: ToldHR: Ok.

This you can do from R.S. Aggarwal or any of the CAT coaching materials.c) For the English test prepare correction of sentences, preposition, putting the right words as fill in the blanks, spotting errors, and RC's. Please attempt the RC's at the last if you get time and read the questions 1st and then try to find the answers. Prepare the English from any basic book and those from English medium don't worry for this section.d) There is no negative markings so attempt all questions and be quick n confident. Now if you clear the written test you have to go through the PI section which a HR takes.Now for this section.a) Your CV will be scanned so be ready to answer any questions from any where.b) They are going to play with you so don't lose your temper and have smile always be confident in answering.c) No need to tell them if you have an offer letter from other organizations and if you want to tell,tell them on your own risk.d) They even say I'll through you out.

I took party in off-campus conducted by Infosys technologies. There was no negative marking.There were two papers.Paper 1(40 questions, 40 minutes).paper 2(35 questions ,30 minute).?In paper 1 there were logical, quantitative, Verbal??and Non Verbal reasoning questions. 5 problems from figure type odd one out reasoning(they wer easy). 5 problems from? Data Interpretation(they we also easy). There were 5 logical probs??based on some facts, they were somewhat difficult, I coluldn’t do those probs But guessed one single option. There were 5 problems Based on some facts, I also couldn’t do that due to lack of time and guessed. There were some more logical problems, you can practice them from R.S. Aggarwal.?One suggestion you don’t need 2 worry about shakuntala devi puzzle or summers puzzles because I couldn’t find problemss from there. You?just practise different types from R.S Aggarwal and most important thing you should know various types only, by cool mind you can solve any problem.?Paper 2 was English knowledge test, there were 2 comprehension one very easy and one difficult(total 10 questions). There were sentence completion question(mainly from preposition, article, verb etc). There were also sentence correction questions. So, friends??you need to manage year time well and year Level of English.?About 1500 hundred students appeared?for the test from various colleges of West Bengaland out of them 393 cleared aptitude round. As usual they didn’t ask any technical question in interview.?I went here with cool mind and they told that they will send final results via email. Still waiting?for confirmation but I'm sure that I will must be selected, hope this experience may help you guys in clearing aptitude round because aptitude round is the main elimination round in infosys. See you guys in infosys soon.?HR: So Surya, tell me something about your project.ME: I explained well.?HR: What was the most interesting in your project?ME: I explained.HR: Tell me something about your family backgroundMe: Told?HR: Asked many questions from resume.?I had mentioned quiz so he asked 4-5 G.K questioned and luckily?I answered and at last he told me nice 2 meet?you and you can leave now.Hope you are all doing great in life Friends,I would like to share my experience with all who happen to browse through this beautiful and should. I add a very informative website for freshers like me?I hope my experience in the aptitude and HR round might help you all in some way.Students from many engineering colleges in West Bengal attended this campussing. The venue was Heritage institute of technology and the whole process took place through 2 days (11th and 12th September).As most of you know, Infosys has two different sections in their aptitude test1) One was the Reasoning aptitude test(30 questions which included data interpretation, logical reasoning,? pictorial puzzles, basic derivative mathematical problems)?2) Another part was the Verbal? aptitude test(40 questions which included 2 long passages, sentence correction, fill in the blanks with appropriate words, replace a part of a sentence with the correct verbal phrase)?No negative marking in either of the sections, but I am not sure whether there are sectional cut-offs. So be sure to attempt all the questions in both sections, don’t dawdle with one question if you don’t know it. Be sure to pass one to the next one, remember in such little time utilizing every minute is very very important. Even 1 correct or 1 wrong answer could make the difference.?It is a very thin line that might help you to nail the job or get yourself nailed.?Total students appeared Approx 2000Shortlisted for HR? 390?This Aptitude rounds are the ones where a staggering 1600 students got eliminated, which in this case amounts to 80% of the strengthMy interview was a 1:1 panel. Trust me when I tell you that Infosys HRs are very frank and cool.??I entered the room after asking for permission (always ask for permission before you step in)Me: may I come in sir?HR: yes, please come in?The HR was sitting in his chair, so I reached out spontaneously for a handshake and greeted him a very good morning. He looked up to me and extended his hand very pleasingly and smiled and replied good morning. Many say that you shouldn’t extend your hand first for the handshake if the HR doesn’t. But many think that’s rubbish and i too share the same opinion. Shaking the hand is a way of showing courtesy and greeting the person. It also shows that you are not nervous and you are confident, so it helps in creating a good positive impression about you in the HR’s mind even before the interview has begun. A good firm (not bone- crushing) handshake acts like a pleasant stimulator.?HR: please take the seatMe: (while taking my chair) thank you so much?I kept my hands on the table and sat leaning forward, when the HR said please sit back in your chair and relax Sourya. So I did thatAnd then he asked me How was yesterday Sourya?Me:? Sir, it was fineHR: describe yesterdayAnswered?HR: how do you approach a problem?Answered?HR: what projects have you done?Answered?HR: how do you prepare for your exams?Answered?HR: suppose you had 15 days left for your final semester exams, how would you prepare yourself?Answered?HR: tell me about your project?Answered?HR: tell me about your family background?Answered?HR: So, you are the only son of your parents?ME: yes, sir, I am the only son?HR: How many were there in your project group?Answered?HR: Thank youME: thank you very much Sir?And left the room, the questions he asked were very innocent questions, atleast they may look like innocent, but the HR comes to know a lot about you from these very basic questions, be very honest and confident. It’s obvious to be a bit nervous and make some mistakes as a fresher.But just focus that you don’t create a negative impression to the HR.?Believe in yourself and trust your God.?Hi Friends,?I attended Infosys selection process on 23rd March 2011.?Here?I want to share my views.?Total Candidates Appeared: 1300 +.?Qualified for HR: 135?Final Selection: 105.?Friends, just go through the CAT Material if available,Better to proceed with RS Agarawal Reasoning & General English.?Paper is little easy if you manage the time constraint.?Test Location : Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology, DelhiTest Date : 29th August, 2010Submitted by : Raman Kumar Tarika?Infosys paper 2010.?This is Raman Kumar from Noida.
