L & T INFOTECH PAPER ON 3rd APRIL AT WEST BENGAL

There were near about 30 colleges appeared in the pool campus drive.Around 2500 students participated and finally only 100 students were selected.The selection procedure consists of three parts.

1.Aptitude test
2.Group discussion or extempore
3.H.R

The aptitude test was quite easy if you have already solved R.S Agarwal. All the questions were from the books of Agarwal.There were three sections in the aptitude part.

The 1st section was quantitative aptitude,
2nd was verbal-non verbal reasoning,
3rd part was ENGLISH.Each section consisted of 30 questions.

The only problem is that there were sectional cut-offs for each section.Total allotted time was 90 mins,with 90 questions.So you have to be quick. As far as I remember some of the quant. Questions were…….

SECTION 1.
1.A boat travels at 30k.m/hr upstream and 40 k.m/hr downstream.What is the speed of the boat in still water?
2.Man buys two articles for Rs. 1250/- each.One is sold at 16% loss.At what price must 2nd article be sold to gain 20% overall?
3.A man buys 12 pens out of which 2 are defective.If he chooses 4 pens from the lot what’s the probability that all 4 pens are non-defective?
4.(72+70+68+…+40)=?
5.What is the least number(among 4 options) that can be substracted from 6534 to obtain a perfect square?
6.Problem on ages
7.problem on Pie chart
8.Two taps A and B can fill up a tank in 15 mins.and 21 mins. respectivelyThey are opened together and after 4 mins A is closed.In how much
time B will fill up the remaining part?
9.If x^2-4x+7<=0 and x>=2 then x lies between i)0<=x<=1 ii)x<1>
10.A shadow of something(x) increases from 5 m.t to 50 m.t in 30 seconds.Then speed of x?
11.Determinant of a matrix.
12.one more problem on matrix.
13.one more problem on profit and loss.
14. If (7-x)/4+(x-2)/7=(9-3x)4 .Then x=?
Rest I don’t remember.

SECTION 2.
Refer to R.s Agarwal verbal and non-verbal reasoning book.All of the questions were from there.The important chapters are…..
i.puzzle test
ii.logic(remember by heart all the nine rules)
iii.venn diagram
iv.arithmatic reasoning
v.statement assumption
vi.statement conclusion
vii.analogy on numbers as well as on figures and numbers.
Viii.figure matrix.

SECTION 3.
If you have a general standard of English, that’s enough. You don’t have to practice too much for this section. But you can brush up your Grammatical knowledge from any book. Questions were from
i) synonym & antonym(2 each)
ii) fill in the blanks with preposition
iii) error correction
iv) replacement of a phrase by another in the option.
v) questions from some short passages
vi) questions from a very long passage. The students who cleared the written test were then taken into a hall for the extempore. We were told to speak on any subject of our liking for 2 mins. Careful, the topic must be such, that you have to give your opinion on that,rather than only describing it.The topics such as ‘My place’, ‘My parents’,’My hobbies’ etc. are not validI spoke on uthanasia or mercy-killing.The result of extempore was declared instantly.The selected candidates were then given a form to fill up and taken into another room for H.R which is not technical.The questions asked in the interview to me were….

1.are you comfortable sitting there?
2.what is so special about you that we should hire you?
3.questions on family
4.what are your strengths?
5.In which aspect you would like to improve upon?
6.Are you ready to be relocated?(I said yes.Then he said “then you will leave your parents alone”?
7.Do you have any backlogs?(I don’t have any)
8.Do you have any question?I asked about training and higher studies.

L & T INFOTECH PAPER ON 17th APRIL AT GHAZIABAD


DAY 1: we were seated in a common hall for the written exam….the written xam was average…the quant portion was damn easy…English section I think was a bit tough… U can do the chapters written in the other papers tht wud be more thn enough…
it had three sections,and individual cutoff,as well as total cutoff.
1.quant
2.apti
3.Eng quant and apti was as usual but very easy.

in Eng section, sentence correction, odd one out, type questions and a simple paragraph was there. Our results were out by 7:00 p.m…the written was taken in 3 batches as the total students wer around 800..out of the 800 I think abt 250 cleared the written exam….the criteria told to us was 60% throughout ..but all the students who were selected had 65% throughout…this was done to reduce the number of students qualified in written exams…. But it wont be done to evry1 dunt fear of tht part….

DAY 2: when we clear this round we were given a form remember the info. filled in the form will be the basis of nxt day interview skill part.(so dont provide any anonymous info.) Then we were called next day. we were expecting a GD or extempore. but we ended up in a technical interview..
This Technical Interview was the main elimination round out of the 250 candidates who cleared written only 48 got thru the numbers r not exact it may be sum less or more)…. In the technical interview I was asked abt C questions …they will ask u ur area of interest. if ur gud at ur subject then thers no problem. there were 6 panels taking the Technical interview…I was asked HR questions also in the technical interview….for the technical part he asked me abt static, auto extern,registers,memory…then he gave me a program nd asked questions…believe me confidence plays a imp role here….keep lookin into the eyes they create magic….. When u clear the tech ur 80% placed…..HR is just a formality…I din gave a gud HR …I gave HR standing nd it was of 1 min….
