Company Profile :

Infosys Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: INFY) provides consulting and IT services to clients globally - as partners to conceptualize and realize technology driven business transformation initiatives. With over 75,000 employees worldwide, we use a low-risk Global Delivery Model (GDM) to accelerate schedules with a high degree of time and cost predictability.

As one of the pioneers in strategic offshore outsourcing of software services, Infosys has leveraged the global trend of offshore outsourcing. Even as many software outsourcing companies were blamed for diverting global jobs to cheaper offshore outsourcing destinations like India and China, Infosys was recently applauded by Wired magazine for its unique offshore outsourcing strategy — it singled out Infosys for turning the outsourcing myth around and bringing jobs back to the US.

Infosys provides end-to-end business solutions that leverage technology. We provide solutions for a dynamic environment where business and technology strategies converge. Our approach focuses on new ways of business combining IT innovation and adoption while also leveraging an organization's current IT assets. We work with large global corporations and new generation technology companies - to build new products or services and to implement prudent business and technology strategies in today's dynamic digital environment.

INFOSYS receives lakhs of resumes every year and they can offer call letter for around 10,000 people only for every test. So sometimes it depends on luck also.

But here are few tips that may maximize your chance of getting call.

1) For INFOSYS, following details are mandatory. Without these, they will simply throw your resume in to trash. They won't even look at other details. So make sure that these details are in 1 st page of resume and clearly visible.

-- Full Name, Mail ID, Contact Address, Phone Number
-- Date of Birth
-- Academics of 10 th, Inter, Grad, PostGrad (Write Aggregate Percentages. Don't write percentages of each Semester. They won't calculate what is the average percentage.)

2) Try to send your resume every 15 days or 30 days. (Especially send it when they announce Off-Campus in news papers.)

3) Write a small covering letter saying that you did not attend INFOSYS test till now and would like to get a call for next possible test. (Or if you did not attend in last 9 months, mention that.)

4) See to it that your resume is proper. Please refer following Resume Writing Tips published in Freshersworld.com.

Most Importantly, BE PREPARED for the test even when you apply. Generally INFOSYS tries to give a call for all eligible candidates. So you may suddenly get a call and then you should NOT postpone it. If you postpone, you will never know when you will get a call again

TEST PATTERN: 1. APTITUDE

TEST PATTERN:

1. APTITUDE and VERBAL

2. HR

NOTE :(we were given an application form of infy we were asked to write it before the exam had started)

APTITUDE:

All questions were of REASONING type -----30 questions(R.S Aggarwal reasoning book is more than enough)

here time management is very important

One question was time consuming for me and

that was from the puzzle test so be prepared wid all 7 models of PUZZLE TEST

we had DATA INTETERPRETATION and as i couldnt solve the 1st question properly i had to solve this

so dont waste time for the questions u cannot solve instead do the one which is easier n refer(r s aggarwal quantitative aptitude for this)

mostly bar charts,tables and pi charts are given(we were given a table)

5 questions were from FIGURES

we were given 3 figures followed by a '?'

in this the 1st two figures are have some relationship b/w them n based on that we hav to pick an answer figure which matches the 3rd figure

this was an easy one

5 questions were from SYLLOGISM

this was a bit different from wht i thought

they give 5 statements naming them a,b,c,d,e

then the answers choices were like 3 were paired eg:1)abe 2)dbe 3)aeb 4)dae

n we hav to find the pair which corretly matchs it if u do r.s aggarwal n r perfect wid all rules of syllogism i dont thing this would b tough

5 questions were of DATA SUFFICIENCY type

i felt this was easy

the questions i remember were from mensuration,length of train,ages of people

thts it in this part, we were not told the cutoff but i think its better to try for atleast 20 out of 30

VERBAL:

40 questions were there

i scored 24 marks

there were 2 RCs one was of 2 pages i attempted in the last 5 min but i did it well i believe

then we had

correction of sentences

fill in the blank with correct word

around 5to 6 passages for which we had go choose the correct summary

u hav to read these very fast

time management is very very imp. here

do not waste even one min looking here and there coz tht one min costs a loooooooot

finally i was called my name for HR n i was on the top of the world

i actually got thru wipro also but the joy of getting into a dream company is just great

one should definately experience it

HR:

One important thing is tht dont think tht its just HR

u should always remember tht there is one more hurdle to pass

in my 1st interview i hav learnt a lot "wht to do n wht not to do in the HR round" so if u hav not yet been placed then first analyze why tht has happened n try to improve on that coz there r huge oppertunities in this world

some way or the other u can get thru once u improve on ur flaws

so be confident and dont be jelous abt the ones who hav already got its a very bad thing

My HR round was coool

HR: come in swathi

me: yes sir

HR: cmon take ur seat

me: thank u sir (he had asked my resume and asked me to sign on it n also at few places on the application form)

HR: so ur father works as so n so

me: yes sir

HR: so where does he work

HR: do u hav ny bros or siss

me: said

HR: whr did he do his scholling

HR: so would there b snow fall fall

me: (me sadly)no sir yet to see such a place once

HR: do u like travelling coz of ur fathers transferable job

me: no sir even otherwise i never miss a chance to travel

HR: he gave me 3 topics and asked me to speak on 1

me: spoke abt supermarket (he was impressed)

HR: is there an incident in ur life whr u hav improved or had to changed ur work culture

me: said

HR: then she asked me abt my paper presentation(it was on face detection which comes under AI)

HR: how would u explain to a 7th class kid abt AI

me: i definately had an answer for tht so i answered n i think he was happy wid my answer

HR: k swathi there r 6 matchsticks here arrange them so that "each one touches one another"

me : i could make 5 to touch each other but not the 6th one

HR: then he asked me to make 4 equlateral triangles with those sticks

me: (the answer is to make a pyramid out of it)i almost did it then he sait to leave it aside

HR: k so wht sports do u play

me: i enjoy playing badminton and these days i hav started playing TT too n i njoy tht too

HR: do u hav ny questions

me: asked 2 questions n he had answered them very patiently

HR: k then u can leave now and cal the next person and ALL the Best
