Hello Friends,
I'm Shah from Vijayawada.
I faced the Campus Recruitment Programme by M/s Infosys Technologies on 10.12.09
The first thing I was suggested by many after knowing the news of the company's visit to our campus was that...
..check out the things on freshersworld.com !! It would be of great help.
and it surely was of greatttt help !.. Thanks to freshersworld.
The experiences posted by many of our seniors helped me so much and in return as thanks giving I would like to post MY Experience too.
I came to know about the news a week before the actual day of placement.
As suggested by many, books to refer:
1. Shakuntala Devi Puzzles

2. R. S . Aggarwal Aptitude Books
I referred the same books. But to my surprise in the question paper, not even a single puzzle was given !!!
It was all quantitative aptitude and verbal, non-verbal reasoning.
But do not neglect the puzzles. They do help in sharp thinking.
I'm sorry I don't exactly remember the question paper but it contained non-verbal part, syllogisms, data sufficiency, English grammar, Paragraph - Inferences...
For those who underwent coaching for CAT, MAT, GRE... kind of exams... to clear the written paper would be a cake walk.
For those who are untrained in the area, like me, will have a little difficulty with time management which could be overcome very easily by just keep practicing to the max.
HAVE 200% ZEAL TO GET INTO THE COMPANY !!
ALWAYS HAVE THE CONTINUOUS FIRE IN YOUR HEART !!
WORK IN THE SIMILAR LINES !! - You will definitely succeed.
(This applies not just get into Infy, but into anything you dream! :-)
Once you clear the written test paper, it is all in YOUR hands now to grab the job by impressing the interviewer.
Just be calm and confident. Trust that the job is yours. You are just going to make some dealing with the interviewer and taking away your job.
Coming to my interview convo...
HR was an old man around 60 years of age, stiff, military kind of with intense looks.
Me : Excuse Me, Sir !
HR: Ah! Come in please !...
Take your seat.
As I took my seat, he suddenly stood up. I was a bit shocked but he was like " ahh! it's very suffocating no?.. Do you mind if I switch on the fan?"... he moved towards the switch board.
Me: Sure sir !.. Well.. Shall I do it for you, sir?
HR: Oh No!..It's fine! You relax. I'l do it myself. (Smiling)
He then came back and sat.
So, How was your day, dear lady? Full busy with this campus stuff eh?
Me: Oh it was great!.. Some kind of tensed yet festive atmosphere all over sir.
HR: Had your lunch?
Me: Yes sir
HR: Where in the canteen?
Me: Yeah
HR: Do all your friends eat in the canteen?
Me: Well, yeah ! Most of them
HR: What about others?...Home Food eh?... Oh! What are these guys going to do when then get into Infy...home food isn't available there?.. Then (I don't know why he was asking all this crap.. but you know!..karna padtha hai boss.. Job toh chahiye!! :P)
Me: It depends on the person, Sir. Anyways, I don't want to comment on them, its their own stuff.
HR: Alright ! So lemme check your resume.
Ohh!! You've done many projects, participated in many events... that's great !!
Can you tell me about your project?
Problems faced?
Have you foreseen them?
What have you done to overcome?
You organized many events.. it is very difficult to organize no?..how did you manage?..
...... questions went on !
it was for about half-an-hour he interviewed me.
Finally he asked me if I had any questions...
do ask something if this was asked to you... I asked about some point that was told in the pre-placement talk. This creates an impression that you were attentive and observative.
That's how went my interview!
Some people were again called-in for a second round of interview.
Just don't panic if it is so, its just that if they have a confusion whether to select or not in the first round, they call-in for second round.
I was selected in the first round it self.
It is a great feeling to listen to you name when the selected list is being announced.
No words to express that ecstatic feeling. You just gotta experience !!!
ALL THE BEST to all those getting ready to face Infy !
Just Relax. Get prepared. Once the written is done, HR is in your hands !!
and that's it !
