SAMPLE INTERVIEW
HERE IS A PERSON'S EXPERIENCE.......HAVE A LOOK
On line test:
There were 6 sections:
Section1: Non verbal and reasoning (35 q)
Section2: Verbal(10q)
Section3: Quant(15q)
Section4: English1(10q)
Section5: English2(10q)
Section6: English 3 reading comp(2 passeges)
There were 90 questions to be attempted in 60 min and there was a sectional cut off so time management was very much crucial for every section.
Test was an easy one for 1st 3 sections R.S. Aggarwal is more than sufficient.Most of the questions were from R.S. Aggarwal.
Passeges/ RC were very easy and i was quite sure of my answers in this section and 1st 3 sections.
Section 4,5 included antonyms ,synonyms, fill-ups,finding errors and phrases and out of these 20 questions only 7 or 8 questions were correct.
Since there was no negative marking, so I attempted all questions.
I had given my best this time ...so i was very much relaxed after written exam. After half an hour results were announced. And i was one of the lucky ones who were selected for the next round.
For clearing written exam, i will suggest it is better to leave the time consuming questions even if you can solve them......& to attempt the english section first..as it consumes very little time........
Now there were 2 rounds 1st one was technical interview and then HR.
After 3 hr when my turn came both rounds were combined and now was a single interview round for both technical and HR.
Interview round:
I entered my inerview room greeted my interviewee with a smile and was asked 2 have a seat
