###INFOSYS PAPER ON 16th JANUARY 2008
Infosys conducted there first campus recruitment programme for 2009 batch at our college and i must say the papper was bit difficult ,when compared to there previous papers. English part was normal.
The paper was conducted in two phases
1.) Aptitude : 30 Ques. and we had 40 min.
2.) English : 40 Ques and we had 35 min.
APTITUDE :
Q1.) There r 4 players A,B,C & D who play a game 4 times & each time one player looses and as a punishment he doubles the money of other three players.Each player looses once in alphabetical order while playing the game 4 times.At the end each player is left with 32 Rs.
Now there were 5 questions based on the above data like who started with the maximum amount of money,who had the minimum after second round,who had the maximum after third round,who started with minimum,etc.
Q2.) 5 quest were based on figures in which we have to find the next occuring figure in a given sequence of figures.
Q3.) 5 ques. were based on data suffiency(easy).
Q4.) 5 ques. were on pie charts,percentages of import & export of india to different countries were given in angles so they had to be converted in actual percentages,calculations were lengthy as the options were very close to round of percentages.
Q5.) 5 ques. were based on syllogism.
Q6.) 5 ques. were based on Data Interpretation.
Over all aptitude section was very logical and lengthy.
ENGLISH:
First 2 questions were large passages which were followed by 5 simple questions each.Passages were quiet big but questions followed were very simple.
Q3.) It consisted of 6 questions.There were 4 sentences given in each question and we had to find the best gramatically & logically correct sentence out of those 4.
Q4.) There were 6 incomplete sentences & 4 options were given with each.We had to choose the option which best fits the blank.
Q5.) There were 6 small paragraphs given & each paragraph was followed by a question like what could be the best conclusion of the above paragraph,or which option contradicts with the conclusion of the above para. or what could be the logical continuation of the above para.
There were 2 other main questions which had 6 parts each.Questions were based on simple grammar. Over all English section was easy but lengthy.
TIME was the major factor.Hence ur mind should run fleeter than wind.Joining any kind of coaching class won't help.If u have it in urself than no one can stop u.Just have confidence & be optimistic.
There was sectional cut off which as per my belief was 60% in each section.31out of 188 eligible students were selected in the written test
Second phase consisted of two interviews.It would be ill logical to classify them as technical or H R as both of them had questions related to logic,puzzle,hobbies,sports,etc.
My first interview lasted for about 40 mins.There were two people sitting very much relaxed opposite to me.And I ofcourse was very nervous.They asked me to explain about myself apart from what is mentioned in CV.They asked me about my family.questions were asked regarding my hobbies,my favourite sport(cricket & table tennis),and the role of media in cricket.
A simple question was asked that what would i do if my views start contradicting with rest of my team members.I was also asked that why I want to join INFOSYS.At last there were puzzles.
Puzzle : A bulb is hanging with the help of a string and the other end of the string is attached to the ceiling of a room.Length of the string is such that bulb just touches the top of my head.
I'm not provided with any kind of length measuring device.How can I find the height of the room.(based on oscillations of a simple pendulum).
How can u get 1000 using eight 8s.My first interview was fine as i was able to solve the puzzles.Just have great knowledge regarding your hobbies and never try to fool them.speak effortless & very clear.Have confidence & have faith dear.
Second interview mostly had questions regarding what we had studied in our school time.Eg : what is a Voltaic cell,what is the use of a blast furnace.What is the use of silica.Any 5 properties of metals.Name the 4 protiens present in a human cell.Then i was asked about the best thing & the worst thing which I faced that particular day.
My second interview was excellent as i could answer very well.Person opp to me said very good & finally I had a hand shake with him.His smile just hinted me about my selction Results were announced @ 9:15 pm. 29 students including ME made it for the final selection.I'm very elated just because I'm one among those 29 who r the first one to be recriuted by
INFOSYS Technologies in the year 2008 and it happened on 16th january 2008.We will join INFOSYS probably by oct. 2009.
###INFOSYS PAPER ON 23rd JANUARY 2008
Then the written test started, prior to starting we were made to fill form of infosys. The test as usual consisted of 2 sections:
1. Logical Reasoning
2. English
logical reasoning consisted of 30ques. in 40mins. the questions were::
1-5, a puzzle based prob. (rs agarwal type, but more ticky rather than difficult)
6-10, figure probs (too easy, practice some frm rs)
11-16, data sufficiency prob. (rs agarwal sufficient, very easy)
17-20, data interpretation based on bar graph (simple but involves lengthy n precise calculation, better to attempt at last)
21-24, another puzzle (rs type, but try to be attentive for d clues given. It can b a bit tricky)
25-30, syllogism ques (toooo easy, follow d venn diagram method)
Time management is very important, many of friends were not able to solve ol d ques. then d ques paper was taken, n english ques paper was given.. Refer to some CAT material coz its of good level this is real time game coz u need to do 40 ques in 30 mins the question pattern was ::
1-5 , reading comprehension (easy but solve at last only, if u solve it first, u`ll end-up guessin for many ques)
6-10, reading comprehension (it was too easy, try to read it fast while solving)
11-20, fill in the blanks (easy ones)
21-30, choose correct sentence from 4 given sentences (easy 1`s but b carefull, there is only a slight difference n u hav to select wich is more grammatically correct )
31-40, u have to choose wich title suits best for d above given paragraph.
Be careful for english part coz most of the candidates get rejected here only.. Time management is must!!! Solve RC`s at last.. I did 30 questions in 13mins & hence got 17mins to solve the reading comprehensions wich i did at last!! so plan the paper accordingly!!
after d test results were announced in 2 hours, i was very glad to noe tat i was selected.. As dere was sectional cut-off wich is around 60% for reasoning & 50 % for english, very less students get selected..
After written results, with no time delay HR interviews started. A panel of 12 HR`s came who were taking interview in 12 different rooms. Mostly of dem were aged between 65-70. But dey were too gentle to d candidates..
Mine was a lady of around 35. She was nice n asked me some common ques. She gave me 2 puzzles, one wich i got d answer, d other i applied d login but was nt able to reach upto d answer.. they chk for ur approach only.. So jst try to apply some approch to it.. My interview lasted for around 15mins. All dey chk for is ur communication skills n confidence.. They want persons with excellent communication skills.. No tech. ques will be asked.. N one more thing once u hav cleared d written, almost 75% of ur selection is confirmed. Rejections at HR is verrry less.. So focus well on written part coz its the biggest barrier & once u cross it, u r almost through!!!
After the interview, in about 45mins, final results were announced, i was veryyyyyyy glad dat i was selected.. Celebrations were ol around as this was d 1st company in wich we sat & we cracked it too!!!
So friends cracking infy is not a difficult task.. All u need is some smart-work, good communication skills & confidence as well as conviction in urself. I would like to thank fresherworld.com for the support they provided by providing blogs & papers like this, which actually helps the candidates to crack the companies.. I would also like to thank all my college,my faculty & my friends who provided me support!!!
With this, i bid best wishes to all!!!

###INFOSYS PAPER ON 16th JANUARY 2008
Infosys conducted there first campus recruitment programme for 2009 batch at our college and i must say the papper was bit difficult ,when compared to there previous papers. English part was normal.
The paper was conducted in two phases
1.) Aptitude : 30 Ques. and we had 40 min.
2.) English : 40 Ques and we had 35 min.
APTITUDE :
Q1.) There r 4 players A,B,C & D who play a game 4 times & each time one player looses and as a punishment he doubles the money of other three players.Each player looses once in alphabetical order while playing the game 4 times.At the end each player is left with 32 Rs.
Now there were 5 questions based on the above data like who started with the maximum amount of money,who had the minimum after second round,who had the maximum after third round,who started with minimum,etc.
Q2.) 5 quest were based on figures in which we have to find the next occuring figure in a given sequence of figures.
Q3.) 5 ques. were based on data suffiency(easy).
Q4.) 5 ques. were on pie charts,percentages of import & export of india to different countries were given in angles so they had to be converted in actual percentages,calculations were lengthy as the options were very close to round of percentages.
Q5.) 5 ques. were based on syllogism.
Q6.) 5 ques. were based on Data Interpretation.
Over all aptitude section was very logical and lengthy.
ENGLISH:
First 2 questions were large passages which were followed by 5 simple questions each.Passages were quiet big but questions followed were very simple.
Q3.) It consisted of 6 questions.There were 4 sentences given in each question and we had to find the best gramatically & logically correct sentence out of those 4.
Q4.) There were 6 incomplete sentences & 4 options were given with each.We had to choose the option which best fits the blank.
Q5.) There were 6 small paragraphs given & each paragraph was followed by a question like what could be the best conclusion of the above paragraph,or which option contradicts with the conclusion of the above para. or what could be the logical continuation of the above para.
There were 2 other main questions which had 6 parts each.Questions were based on simple grammar. Over all English section was easy but lengthy.
TIME was the major factor.Hence ur mind should run fleeter than wind.Joining any kind of coaching class won't help.If u have it in urself than no one can stop u.Just have confidence & be optimistic.
There was sectional cut off which as per my belief was 60% in each section.31out of 188 eligible students were selected in the written test
Second phase consisted of two interviews.It would be ill logical to classify them as technical or H R as both of them had questions related to logic,puzzle,hobbies,sports,etc.
My first interview lasted for about 40 mins.There were two people sitting very much relaxed opposite to me.And I ofcourse was very nervous.They asked me to explain about myself apart from what is mentioned in CV.They asked me about my family.questions were asked regarding my hobbies,my favourite sport(cricket & table tennis),and the role of media in cricket.
A simple question was asked that what would i do if my views start contradicting with rest of my team members.I was also asked that why I want to join INFOSYS.At last there were puzzles.
Puzzle : A bulb is hanging with the help of a string and the other end of the string is attached to the ceiling of a room.Length of the string is such that bulb just touches the top of my head.
I'm not provided with any kind of length measuring device.How can I find the height of the room.(based on oscillations of a simple pendulum).
How can u get 1000 using eight 8s.My first interview was fine as i was able to solve the puzzles.Just have great knowledge regarding your hobbies and never try to fool them.speak effortless & very clear.Have confidence & have faith dear.
Second interview mostly had questions regarding what we had studied in our school time.Eg : what is a Voltaic cell,what is the use of a blast furnace.What is the use of silica.Any 5 properties of metals.Name the 4 protiens present in a human cell.Then i was asked about the best thing & the worst thing which I faced that particular day.
My second interview was excellent as i could answer very well.Person opp to me said very good & finally I had a hand shake with him.His smile just hinted me about my selction Results were announced @ 9:15 pm. 29 students including ME made it for the final selection.I'm very elated just because I'm one among those 29 who r the first one to be recriuted by
INFOSYS Technologies in the year 2008 and it happened on 16th january 2008.We will join INFOSYS probably by oct. 2009.
###INFOSYS PAPER ON 23rd JANUARY 2008
Then the written test started, prior to starting we were made to fill form of infosys. The test as usual consisted of 2 sections:
1. Logical Reasoning
2. English
logical reasoning consisted of 30ques. in 40mins. the questions were::
1-5, a puzzle based prob. (rs agarwal type, but more ticky rather than difficult)
6-10, figure probs (too easy, practice some frm rs)
11-16, data sufficiency prob. (rs agarwal sufficient, very easy)
17-20, data interpretation based on bar graph (simple but involves lengthy n precise calculation, better to attempt at last)
21-24, another puzzle (rs type, but try to be attentive for d clues given. It can b a bit tricky)
25-30, syllogism ques (toooo easy, follow d venn diagram method)
Time management is very important, many of friends were not able to solve ol d ques. then d ques paper was taken, n english ques paper was given.. Refer to some CAT material coz its of good level this is real time game coz u need to do 40 ques in 30 mins the question pattern was ::
1-5 , reading comprehension (easy but solve at last only, if u solve it first, u`ll end-up guessin for many ques)
6-10, reading comprehension (it was too easy, try to read it fast while solving)
11-20, fill in the blanks (easy ones)
21-30, choose correct sentence from 4 given sentences (easy 1`s but b carefull, there is only a slight difference n u hav to select wich is more grammatically correct )
31-40, u have to choose wich title suits best for d above given paragraph.
Be careful for english part coz most of the candidates get rejected here only.. Time management is must!!! Solve RC`s at last.. I did 30 questions in 13mins & hence got 17mins to solve the reading comprehensions wich i did at last!! so plan the paper accordingly!!
after d test results were announced in 2 hours, i was very glad to noe tat i was selected.. As dere was sectional cut-off wich is around 60% for reasoning & 50 % for english, very less students get selected..
After written results, with no time delay HR interviews started. A panel of 12 HR`s came who were taking interview in 12 different rooms. Mostly of dem were aged between 65-70. But dey were too gentle to d candidates..
Mine was a lady of around 35. She was nice n asked me some common ques. She gave me 2 puzzles, one wich i got d answer, d other i applied d login but was nt able to reach upto d answer.. they chk for ur approach only.. So jst try to apply some approch to it.. My interview lasted for around 15mins. All dey chk for is ur communication skills n confidence.. They want persons with excellent communication skills.. No tech. ques will be asked.. N one more thing once u hav cleared d written, almost 75% of ur selection is confirmed. Rejections at HR is verrry less.. So focus well on written part coz its the biggest barrier & once u cross it, u r almost through!!!
After the interview, in about 45mins, final results were announced, i was veryyyyyyy glad dat i was selected.. Celebrations were ol around as this was d 1st company in wich we sat & we cracked it too!!!
So friends cracking infy is not a difficult task.. All u need is some smart-work, good communication skills & confidence as well as conviction in urself. I would like to thank fresherworld.com for the support they provided by providing blogs & papers like this, which actually helps the candidates to crack the companies.. I would also like to thank all my college,my faculty & my friends who provided me support!!!
With this, i bid best wishes to all!!!

KEANE PAPER ON 24th MARCH 2008
Hi friends, I am jaseem, doing my 6th semester btech electronics and communicaton in college of engineering perumon. Keane had come to my college on 24th march 2008. There were around 265 students for the test. In that about 120 cleared the test ,about 70 cleared GD,50 cleared Technical interview and finally about 41 got selected. And 30 was from our college.
The test pattern was same as previous placement papers. There is no negative marking. There was an essay writing about how college life has improved ur career. Then the test
had 15 quatitative,10 english and 10 logical. The english section was quite easy. simple grammer questions were there.
First of all before attending the test have a look on all the placement papers of keane from freshersworld website. Then select the common questions. This was what i did . Then i selected the chapters like
Time and work
Time and distance
Average
Percentage
Chain Rule
Probability
It is worth to buy R.S Agarwall text books.. Do the problems of above chapters from this text. At least do all the worked out examples.. Be thorough with the examples. And do some questions..Do more if u have time.. But never go for the test without looking the above chapters. The questions from above chapters are sure. but for me the first queston was from stocks and shares.but i didnt read only.
Then in the english section its based on ur knowledge in english.. A person who can speak english normally can do this section..
Then about verbal.. If u can concentrate well on the question u can do it..Be in a mood to do logical questions during the test. Ur mind should not be disturbed..
First do the questions which u know.. at least try questions which u hav lukd.if u didnt get dnt worry.try once more..in the first round u will be able to do atleast 15 to 20 questions. and at least 5 from quantitative. Then u will be left with some 20 minutes..In this time u can give a guess work..But not all. Try doing the quantitative section. try to eliminate the wrong answers if u are giving a guess work.
After this we had the GD. The topic was "Reservation good or not" .Try saying what u know But dnt say nonsense.Me and another guy was against reservation. But all others were for reservation. All together there were 10 students.
So 8 were against me. They were telling against me. So i was able to reply back to them..the people who eliminated didnt have good voice. But they told points. So try to speak loudly and clearly.in my batch GD 4 were eliminated.
Then we had the technical interview. The interviewer asked me my favourite topic. I told microprocessor. He asked several questions from 8086.also some from disital.then some general knowledge about my branch. Be confident with ur answer. The other candidates who told digital s there favourite subject were asked to draw gates, and other logical gates..
After tht i had the hr INERVIEW. In that the interviewer asked mt to introduce myself. And then asked me whetr i am interestd in highr studies,.....
Tell everytng clearly.. And have a smiling face.
So if u really try u will surely get placed.. Placement papers from freshers world helpd me a lot to clear the test.. The rest is in you.. Be Cool Calm and Confident.. One more thing.. never thing that only those who have luck will get.. luck is more for those who whave workd for it.Have faith in god... GOD BLESS YOU.....
KEANE PAPER ON 24th MARCH 2008
HAI FRIENDS I am Jinu Shamsudeen pursuing my 6th sem b-tech studies at college of engineering ,Perumon. in electronics and communication .I am here to share my experiences while attending the Keane selection process. Keane came to our college at 24th march 2008. around 256 students attended the selection process , and around 41 were selected.
Keane has mainly 4 selection rounds.
1. APTITUDE TEST
2. GROUP DISCUSSION
3. TECHNICAL INTERVIEW
4. HR INTERVIEW
The test pattern was same as previous placement papers. There is no negative marking. There was essay writing about how college life has improved ur career. The test comprised of 15 quantitative, 10 english and 10 logical. It is just easy to clear.Freshers world helped me a lot.Go through previous questions uploaded in this site. Also refer R.S AGGARWAL for quantitative questions. Plz go through chapters like time and distance, time and work, chain rule, ratio and proportion, averages, probability, profit and loss before going for the test.
Abt english those who have a fair knowledge of basic grammar is able to clear the test. Logical section was also easy. Questions from syllogisms, and seating arrangements were asked.
After the first round from 256 students about 125 cleared the test.
The next round was the gd. The main factor wat the keane was looking for was how confident ru. So be confident. Believe in urself. The GD group consists of 12 memebers . ther wer almost 13 gd panels. The topic of our group was “ GOVERNMENTS CONTRIBUTION TOWARD IT INDUSTRY”. Be confident while u speak. It doesn’t matter whether u support or oppose the subject..The matter is how confident r u while u speak.
70 cleared the gd .
The third round was the technical round. Here also be confident don’t be panic. They only ask u basic questions, go through the basic programs of C like reverse the string, palindrome,etc.The technical round is intended just to check how keen r we in studying our subjects. So I repeat be cool and confident while u speak. Don’t care abt how much right is ur answer. Whatever u know say it clearly with confidence.
50 cleared the tech interview
The fourth round is the hr round. In this round they ask questions based on ur resume. So have a good resume . They ask questions like introduce urself, then ur strengths etc. Just read the company ‘s profile before going for the test. It will be very useful. Be confient while u answer. Have a pleasant face.
Finally 41 were selected after hr interview.
Don’t be upset loosing one or two chances. This is my 5th attempt. I have been rejected at Infosys,Siemens, Satyam, L&T. Frankly speaking I havent cleared the first round of all these companies. So don’t loose ur confience.Believe in urself. And above all ALMIGHTY GOD.

KEANE PAPER ON 24th MARCH 2008
Hi friends, I am jaseem, doing my 6th semester btech electronics and communicaton in college of engineering perumon. Keane had come to my college on 24th march 2008. There were around 265 students for the test. In that about 120 cleared the test ,about 70 cleared GD,50 cleared Technical interview and finally about 41 got selected. And 30 was from our college.
The test pattern was same as previous placement papers. There is no negative marking. There was an essay writing about how college life has improved ur career. Then the test
had 15 quatitative,10 english and 10 logical. The english section was quite easy. simple grammer questions were there.
First of all before attending the test have a look on all the placement papers of keane from freshersworld website. Then select the common questions. This was what i did . Then i selected the chapters like
Time and work
Time and distance
Average
Percentage
Chain Rule
Probability
It is worth to buy R.S Agarwall text books.. Do the problems of above chapters from this text. At least do all the worked out examples.. Be thorough with the examples. And do some questions..Do more if u have time.. But never go for the test without looking the above chapters. The questions from above chapters are sure. but for me the first queston was from stocks and shares.but i didnt read only.
Then in the english section its based on ur knowledge in english.. A person who can speak english normally can do this section..
Then about verbal.. If u can concentrate well on the question u can do it..Be in a mood to do logical questions during the test. Ur mind should not be disturbed..
First do the questions which u know.. at least try questions which u hav lukd.if u didnt get dnt worry.try once more..in the first round u will be able to do atleast 15 to 20 questions. and at least 5 from quantitative. Then u will be left with some 20 minutes..In this time u can give a guess work..But not all. Try doing the quantitative section. try to eliminate the wrong answers if u are giving a guess work.
After this we had the GD. The topic was "Reservation good or not" .Try saying what u know But dnt say nonsense.Me and another guy was against reservation. But all others were for reservation. All together there were 10 students.
So 8 were against me. They were telling against me. So i was able to reply back to them..the people who eliminated didnt have good voice. But they told points. So try to speak loudly and clearly.in my batch GD 4 were eliminated.
Then we had the technical interview. The interviewer asked me my favourite topic. I told microprocessor. He asked several questions from 8086.also some from disital.then some general knowledge about my branch. Be confident with ur answer. The other candidates who told digital s there favourite subject were asked to draw gates, and other logical gates..
After tht i had the hr INERVIEW. In that the interviewer asked mt to introduce myself. And then asked me whetr i am interestd in highr studies,.....
Tell everytng clearly.. And have a smiling face.
So if u really try u will surely get placed.. Placement papers from freshers world helpd me a lot to clear the test.. The rest is in you.. Be Cool Calm and Confident.. One more thing.. never thing that only those who have luck will get.. luck is more for those who whave workd for it.Have faith in god... GOD BLESS YOU.....

Abt english those who have a fair knowledge of basic grammar is able to clear the test. Logical section was also easy. Questions from syllogisms, and seating arrangements were asked.
After the first round from 256 students about 125 cleared the test.
The next round was the gd. The main factor wat the keane was looking for was how confident ru. So be confident. Believe in urself. The GD group consists of 12 memebers . ther wer almost 13 gd panels. The topic of our group was “ GOVERNMENTS CONTRIBUTION TOWARD IT INDUSTRY”. Be confident while u speak. It doesn’t matter whether u support or oppose the subject..The matter is how confident r u while u speak.
70 cleared the gd .
The third round was the technical round. Here also be confident don’t be panic. They only ask u basic questions, go through the basic programs of C like reverse the string, palindrome,etc.The technical round is intended just to check how keen r we in studying our subjects. So I repeat be cool and confident while u speak. Don’t care abt how much right is ur answer. Whatever u know say it clearly with confidence.
50 cleared the tech interview
The fourth round is the hr round. In this round they ask questions based on ur resume. So have a good resume .

Don’t be upset loosing one or two chances. This is my 5th attempt. I have been rejected at Infosys,Siemens, Satyam, L&T. Frankly speaking I havent cleared the first round of all these companies. So don’t loose ur confience.Believe in urself. And above all ALMIGHTY GOD.
There are all only 3 ways to success- confidence, confidence, &confidence.
So all the best and see u all at Keane.

TCS history
Tata Consultancy Services was established in the year 1968. It began as the "Tata Computer Centre", a division of the Tata Group, whose main business was to provide computer services to other group companies. However, the potential of computerization and computer services was realized early on, and an electrical engineer from the Tata Electric Companies, Fakir Chand Kohli, was brought in as the first General Manager. Soon after, the company was named Tata Consultancy Services.
TCS's first software export project was undertaken in 1974 when it converted the Hospital Information System from Burroughs Medium Systems COBOL to Burroughs Small Systems COBOL. This project was carried out entirely in TCS Mumbai on the ICL 1903 Computer. In 1980, TCS and a sister Tata firm accounted for 63% of the Indian software industry exports, $4 million shared by 21 firms. In 1984, TCS set up an office in the Santacruz Export Processing Zone (SEEPZ) – Mumbai.
The early 1990s saw a tremendous surge in TCS's business, which also resulted in a massive recruitment drive by the company. In early and mid-1990s, TCS re-invented itself to become a software products company. In the late 1990s, to accelerate its revenue growth, TCS decided to employ a three-pronged strategy – developing new products with high revenue earning potential, tapping domestic and other fast growing markets and focusing on inorganic growth through mergers & acquisitions. In late 1998, the company decided to concentrate on new revenue opportunities including Y2K and Euro conversion. E-business was a major area of focus in the late 1990s.
In 2004, TCS became a publicly listed company.
