The Process:
getting 2 the selection process(as,i already mentioned a marathon 1),it was divided in2 3 parts:

Aptitude Test:
basically consists of 3 sections which include quantative ability,analytical ability & english section...all tat u ppl hav 2 do is b quick at quant(simple) where stuff like ratio proportion,%age,profit/loss,simple geometry,time & work & the like topics r asked...referring 2 r.s agarwal shud get u thru quant...as far as logic goes it was a bit tricky,but its manageable..stuff like binary form where if $=1 and *=0 then wat can ($***)+$* be expressed as????some questions on groups of ppl....all of these can b easily managed by solving some practise exercises frm ne logic/reasoning book...now,as far the english part is concerned u don hav b a rocket scientist 2 clear it...it is one of the most simplest n silliest questionnaires tat i hav ever seen...some vocabulary tests(silly) followed by article insertion(super dumb) n a passage wid some questions(super super dumb)...this section is not even worth mentioning so guys just chill as far as english is concerned n try n attempt it1st...

the apti consisted of 60 questions which ver 2 b answered in 70 mins...the subdivisons were as follows:
a) English(15 qs)
b) Analytical ability(15qs)
c) Quantitative ability(30qs)

Group Discussion (GD):
they made us wait a heck of a lot 4 this particular part...i cleared this part wid out ne stress at all...the topic given 2 us was "marriage:a social trap?" pls comment...the gd honestly was a cakewalk wherein if u speak up a little bit u wud b selected..jus b forthright n clear wid in ur views n don digress frm the topic...they give u fair chance 2 speak nehow...btw
v ver divided in2 groups of 10 ppl n there ver abt12 grps...don worry 2 much abt the gd..jus speak up in a concise way n b communicative...

Personal Interview (PI):
this,basically was conducted in variations 4 different ppl wherein some like me ver subjected thru both technical n hr interviews seperately while the others jus had a single interview...i will describe my experience thru both the interviews(hr
& technical):

HR:
k,ther was this expressionless man sitting in ther who as i entered asked me 2 take a seat n straightaway asked me the time...it was around 9.30 in the night n then he asked me as 2 ven i had come 2 college...i told him at abt 9 in the morning...he asked r u not tired after staying 4 so long??i tried 2 evade his question but eventually replied tat though i was a bit stressed i was very happy wid the way the selection process was conducted & it was a very fair process..he then asked usual stuff like tell me abt urself,where i tol him abt myself n y i wanted 2 b in the s/w industry...he asked me stuff like wat i thought was challenging abt the s/w industry..2 which i replied i liked erp-sap systems n the challenges faced by the industry 2 implement it in various sectors....actually,ppl 2 b honest wid i think they chk ur confidence n communication skills,the latter being the only 1 i was counting upon....after some more grilling,he said i wud hav 2 go 4 a technical interview 4 abt 5-10 mins...this was the only scary part 4 me....

Technical:
a smart looking man with a mprominent moustache who was very polite took my technical interview..he again asked me
the same things like tell me abt urself n stuff...i gave the same damn answers which i had given during the time of my hr
interview..he asked me abt bubble sort algorithm which i wrote n then went in2 some confusing details abt for loops n stuff..i gave some ans 2 which he wasnt convinced...he then said 4get programming n asked me a puzzle which i attempted but cudnt solve ultimately..he tol me tat he dint expect me 2 give the answer 2 tat puzzle n many others had failed in doing so...he then wished me luck n tat was the end of my interview...

b)analytical - All questions were from RS agarval - pipes and cisterrns, and some problems based on sets.
c)aptitude - Most of the Qs were from Percentage and Profit and loss, and few Qs were from Areas,,

2.GD
2 topics will be given and u hav to select one..
They will give a plane sheet of paper and u hav to note down your poins. and make sure that u'll emphasise only on those points.. and finally each group member have to give his conclusion..
give others the oppurtunity to speak..

3. Interview
for MCA/ CS they'll ask each and every subject(OS,DBMS,UNIX,C,C++,Software engneering) in depth...
for other branches just general HR questions..
to clear the interview round, you hav to express your thougts clearly and confidently; whether they are correct or not doesnt matter..
