the puzzle question are as follows

1.A wood blog weights 30 kg. What will be the weight of the blog its thickness is doubled and length is
reduced to half. (3 marks)
Answer. 60 Kg.
Volume of blog = pi R2 L
Thickness is doubled and length is reduced by half
So R(final) = 2R
L(final) = L/2
So the new volume will be = pi(4R2)L/2
i.e. = 2pi R2L
so the volume will be doubled and also the weight will be

INFOSYS PAPER AND RECRUITMENT PATTERN ON 20th JULY 2006 AT
NAGPUR

(a brief,to the point and comphrehensive guide to crack INFOSYS campus recruitment
process)

Hello friends , this is Akshay from Nagpur . By gods grace and focused and systematic
approach I , along with many of my batchmates got placed in INFOSYS , India’s best known
GLOBAL brand .Let me tell you friends IT FEELS GREAT !! I am cherishing happiest
moments of my life , yet .

Details of my campus recruitment process are-

Date – 20 th july 2006

Venue- Karmaveer Dadasaheb Kannamwar College Of Engg. , Nagpur
Type- off-campus
Eligibility- 58 % in B.E.
65 % IN 10th and 12th
Colleges participated – all colleges of Nagpur (around 12-15)
Total candidates- minimum 750 (don’t know exact)
Cleared for HR interview- 120
Date of declaration of final results- 11th August 2006
Final selections-117
Three general rules for appearing campus interviews of major software companies-

1. Dont appear without preparation .

You would unnecessary loose out a chance and would be not eligible to attend
recruitment process for period of at least 6 months (period varies according to company
… in case of INFOSYS its 9 months) … so be very cautious.

2. Be thorough with basic aptitude.

Best way to do this is solving entire QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE by R.S. AGRAWAL
at least 2-3 times

3. Good communication skills are a must .

No matter how hard you prepare you should be able to confidently and comfortably
present yourself.

Following material would be sufficient as per my experience –

1. At least 100 previous questions paper. Very Very Very Very Very Very important. If u study only
this material, surely, 80% of work is done as most of times puzzles are repeatedly asked. I
think it is almost impossible to crack infy without studying those papers (unless u have got
Einstein’s brian).I would recommend u the great site freshersworld.com , where u would get all
sort of infy resources there.
2. George Summers “Puzzles and Teasers” . Very Very important ,must buy . 8 marks puzzles
comes from this book.
3. Shakuntala devi’s two puzzles books . generally 3-4 marks puzzles come from this book . (well
friends …..frankly I don’t think these 2 books are absolutely mandatory for infy preparation ,
firstly because as most of the times puzzles are repeatedly asked , after solving 100 question
papers u would get all important 3-4 marks puzzles on your finger-tips , secondly if u have
sound logical understanding u can solve most of the puzzles , though u r seeing them for the
first time) so its your choice to buy them or not, but most of them will advise to be on safer
side.
4. R.S. AGRAWAL ‘s quantitative aptitude. Very Very important ,must buy . some of 3-4 marks
puzzles comes from this book. I would recommend u to buy earlier edition (the one smaller in
size).. it is short and concise hence saves your time giving u all important and necessary
exposure.

Five days intensive preparation schedule (at least 10 hours per day)-

Day 1 and Day 2 - Go through previous years question papers….they will single handedly
expose u to around 90% of most likely asked questions. Generally u would be able to solve
most of problems/puzzles except 8marks puzzles and some typical 3-4 marks
problems/puzzles. jot down all such unsolvable problems/puzzles in a list.

Most important tip – prepare high frequency problems/puzzles list.

Make list of all those problems/puzzles which finds there appearance more than once. My
list contained some 100+ puzzles/problems. Most of them are easily understood , some need
preparation from Summers / Shakuntala devi. One or two are really unsolvable.
Friends this list is THE MOST IMPORTANT document … prepare it very attentively and
carefully. If u are fortunate enough 8-9 out of 10 problems will be from this list. I was so
lucky that I had 9 problems from this high frequency list.

Day 3 - u have got list of difficult, unsolvable problems. Of this list , for solving 8 marks
problems u need considerable exposure to George summers book. Spend your full day
solving most of the puzzles. DON’T GET WORRIED IF U ARE UNABLE TO SOLVE THE
PUZZLES…. THEY ARE REALLY TOUGH. Just take basic funda into account like matrix
formation n filling, cases formation etc.
At the end of the day u should be able to solve some problems from unsolvable list.

Day 4 - solve as many problems/puzzles from Shakuntala devi’s two puzzles books. Not all
the questions are puzzles… leave figure problems. Among rest of puzzles most of them are
logical hence straightforward easy…though u would get some very tricky and challenging to
solve….u wont find any special stress while solving those books… they are fun to solve.

Day 5 – Solving AGRAWAL’s quantitative aptitude at least 2-3 times is a pre-requisite. In

early hours of the 5th day brush up with basic aptitude , which will constitute some 15-16
chapters of the book.

Once u have done with it… comes the most important part … re-assembling whatever u have
learnt in this 4 and half days. Best way to do this is to go back to the 100 question papers and
solving them with a rapid speed. As u have done with most puzzles it wont take more time to
do it.

Now focus on high frequency list …. I am repeating ….. a average infy paper will contain at
least 5-6 puzzle from this list. The no. may go up if u are lucky enough!

Infy has constant pattern which consists of following-

1. aptitude- 50 marks.
2. English -45 marks
3. HR interview.

One important thing…many guys will describe English section as cakewalk…but it isn’t
that easy….

HR interview is no too tough, but guys please go prepared with most like HR questions.

One most important thing, answer your questions confidently.

That’s it buddies… one thing u would clearly figure out that I have given 99% attention
on written exam. Reason is quite obvious… once u clear written u have 95% chances of
breaking in INFOSYS.

Best of luck to every job aspirant. See u at INFOSYS…

If u find the article useful in any sense … do post your comments….

R is as much less than u as t is more than p etc etc…and many more conditions llike this…

One condition was q is in the middlle… find the orer of the letters starting from lowest to highest.

And in the choices there was only option which had q in the middle ..so guys don’t waste time trying to
arrange the letters jst check the conditions and look in the choices which satisfies

18 if 39X41= and 47X56= then 24X78==? (numbers not exactly same but model)it was tough

11 REASONS FOR REJECTION IN THE INTERVIEW

1. Poor attitude. Many candidates come across as arrogant. While employers can afford to be self-
centered, candidates cannot.

2. Appearance. Many candidates do not consider their appearance as much as they should. First
impressions are quickly made in the first three to five minutes. (For details regarding Appearance,
refer to the message 'Interview Etiquette' which I had posted earlier in "CHETANA-JOBS" group).

3. Lack of research. It's obvious when candidates haven't learned about the job, company or industry
prior to the interview. Visit the library or use the Internet to research the company, then talk with
friends, peers and other professionals about the opportunity before each meeting.

4. Not having questions to ask. Asking questions shows your interest in the company and the
position. Prepare a list of intelligent questions in advance.

5. Not readily knowing the answers to interviewers' questions. Anticipate and rehearse answers
to tough questions about your background, such as recent termination or an employment gap.
Practicing with your spouse or a friend before the interview will help you to frame intelligent
responses.
www.chetanasinterview.com
6. Relying too much on resumes. Employees hire people, not paper. Although a resume can list
qualifications and skills, it's the interview dialogue that will portray you as a committed, responsive
team player.

7. Too much humility. Being conditioned not to brag, candidates are sometimes reluctant to describe
their accomplishments. Explaining how you reach difficult or impressive goals helps portray you as a
committed, responsive team player. www.chetanasinterview.com

8. Not relating skills to employers' needs. A list of sterling accomplishments means little if you can't
relate them to a company's requirements. Reiterate your skills and convince the employer that you
can "do the same for them".

9. Handling salary issues ineptly. Candidates often ask about salary and benefit packages too
early. If they believe an employer is interested, they may demand inappropriate amounts and price
themselves out of the jobs. Candidates who ask for too little undervalue themselves or appear
desperate.

10. Lack of career direction. Job hunters who aren't clear about their career goals often can't spot or
commit to appropriate opportunities. Not knowing what you want wastes everybody's time.

11. Job shopping. Some applicants, particularly those in certain high-tech, sales and marketing
fields, will admit they're just "shopping" for opportunities and have little intention of changing jobs. This
wastes time and leaves a bad impression with employers they may need to contact in the future.

Note from Author: I have put in a fairly good amount of work for compiling this data. I hope, this will be
useful to all those who are attending interviews, especially freshers. If you find my work really useful,
submit feedback with few lines telling me how it helped you. Waiting to hear from you all.
