Out of 30 people, 5(including me) cleared the written test. The test pattern was similar to that of previous papers(GRE/GMAT pattern). *********************************************************************** Part 1: (Verbal/English, 25 Q - 15 min) This was cool. All Antonyms, Analogies got repeated from previous papers. Antonyms: 1)equanimity 2)sequester 3)apathetic 4)dislodge 5)sedate Analogies: 1)celeberate:marriage:: a. window:bedroom b. lument:barevemant c. pot:pan d. face:penalty 2)neglegent:requirement:: remises:duty cognet:argument easy:hard careful:position 3)Germ:disease:: man:women doctor:medicine war:destrustion shopkeeper:goods 4)bouquet:flower:: skin:body chain:link product:factory page:book 5)letter:word:: club:people page:book product:factory picture:paper Bottom Line: Time is sufficient. No special preparation needed (provided u r good enough) Just gaze thru previous papers' antonyms & analogies Sentence completion & fill ups are easy. Instead of mugging up antonyms, I personally recommend u to read Synonyms, so that u

can easily locate their opposites. (U can refer TCS papers also if needed) *********************************************************************** * Part 2: (Quantitative Aptitude, 45 Q - 30 min) This was tough. Repeated Q's: One monkey climbs a poll at the rate of 6mts/min and fell down 3mts in the alternately. Length of the poll is 60 mts , how much time it will take to reach the top? a. 31 b.33 c.37 d.40 (ans: 37) X men work for X days to produce X products, then Y men can produce Y products in - - - days. (ans: y^3/x^2) successive discounts problem sqrt(12 + sqrt(12) + ((sqrt(12) +......................infinity) = ? (ans: 4) 6 locks & 6 keys (permutation) problem Other Q's: consider a square ABCD, in which E is the mid-point of BC & F is that of CD. Now find the ratio of area of triangle AEF to the area of square ABCD. (ans: 3/8) Do not remember rest of the them. Bottom Line: This section makes the difference. Special preparation is mandatory. Try to solve problems of every type from R.S.

FLOW CHART: 1) Some flow chart is given. Five question on this flow chart. i. Whether i will take the value 0 ii. Find value of i iii. Find value of a iv. Find value of j Answers: i. Yes ii. -4 iii. 13 iv. 29 2) One more flow chart. Five questions i. s value at 6th iteration ii. value f3 when n=6 iii. f3 doesn�t take which value iv. When s=57 what is the value of f3 v. What is the value n when program terminates. Answer i. 31 ii. 34 iii. 9 iv. 89 v. 11 Formulae involved in the flow chart: S = N2 - ( N � 1) F3 = F1 + F2 F1 = F2 F2 = F3 mug this flow chart.. same flow chart came for us..it is very difficult to remember the ques.. i am sorry that i cudnt able to reproduce.. for the 3rd Section i remember few que: Section 3: 1- problem on tower of hanoi--ans 7 2 problem on fig. find the shaded area, square of size 14cm.. ans: 42 3. problem on symmetric fig ;; ans less than the 1172(check) . 4. few questions on blood relationship.. (refer r.s. agrawal reasoning) sample ques..man looking at photo tells that " the daughter of this person is the only son

etc..." try to familiar on this .. 5 . again ques on relationship..; 6 persons are there A, B, C, D, E, F. i) how many male: ans -4 ii)how many female- ans 2 iii) how D related to A; - similar ques ..easy .. 6)u have the series of letters..need to find the odd one out.. tips: u identify the pattern all the choices follow the pattern except one.. eg: given words are say ..ABCD , JKLM, OPQR, UVWX, EGHI in this the last set do not follow the pattern.. in case of ABCD- all are continious. JKLM , OPQR, UVWX..follow same all are continious .. If u see the EGHI � this is not continious as EFGH shud me there..got it � U have 4 ques on this..easy one.. 6) u have to fill the missing letter in the series.. little bit tough.. 4 ques..but easy.. 7) u have 3 figure �based on the figures ques asked.. easy one.. eg: Fig Triangle means Strong Fig Square means Tall Fig Circle means Fair. Ques asked is find the number that represents Strong Tall and Fair persons.. easy one .. So u have 3 ques on this pattern.. 8) u have ques on flow chart..easy..very simple.. NOTE: they r looking for the toppers ..so if u r the topper than no probs. Mostly CGPA of 8 + is they expect. To shortlist.

Next round is Interview: Basically a General Interview Questions on ur Project details, Questions on personal details....

Patteren is same as set no 1 1.English ( 25 ques, 15 mins) 2. Aptitude.(45 ques, 30 mins) 3. Reasoning and a flowchart(30 ques, 30 mins) some of questions i rememberd are =================================== ( English) 1 celeberate:marriage:: a. window:bedroom b. lument:barevemant c. pot:pan d. face:penalty 2. neglegent:requirement:: remises:duty cognet:argument easy:hard careful:position 3 Germ:disease:: man:women doctor:medicine war:destrustion shopkeeper:goods 4 bouquet:flower:: skin:body chain:link product:factory page:book 5.letter:word:: club:people page:book product:factory picture:paper ===================================== select most oppsite word from the list (there are 5 options) 1 sedate answer=a. unify, b. inmmunize, c. recupenate, d. stimulate, e. injure 2 sequester ( options not known) 3 equanimity 4 apathetic 5 dislodge ======================================

some questions repeated from aptitude (earliar) 1 One monkey climbs a poll at the rate of 6mts/min and fell down 3mts in the alternately. Length of the poll is 60 mts , how much time it will take to reach the top? a. 31 b.33 c.37 d.40 (ans: 37) 2 Two successive discounts of 20% and 15% is equal to a net discount of ..... a 30 b 35 c d 3 A person starts with the speed of u/1 kmph and returns with the speed of u/2 kmph, what is his average speed. 4. X men work for X days to produce X products, then Y men can produce Y products in ---- days.

We had a Syntel test. The test had 3 sections: 1. English (25 questions in 15 minutes). 2. Quantitative Ability (50 questions in 30 minutes). 3. Reasoning (25 questions in 30 minutes). For English, practice the Test Papers of Barrons GRE Guide. The entire paper was copied word-by-word from there. Also few questions were a repeat from the old papers. The toughest part was the Maths section. TIME IS A REAL CONSTRAINT. Practice to attempt questions real fast. The questions were of R S Agarwal pattern. Some of them were a repeat. I remember few questions: 1. If A can do a work in 12 days, B in 24 days and C in 6 days, then how many days will they take to finish the job together. 2. Travelling at 3/4 of his speed, a man is 20 minutes late. Calculate his original speed. The reasoning part was easy. Most of the questions were on the alphabet series. Like if the alphabets of English are reversed then which would be the letter from the 7th and so on. Try to attempt 50% questions from each section if you wich to get a cll for interview. Trying to attempt all the questions is foolishness. Then they give Section 1- Verbal-15mins Lastly,Section 3- Logical Reasoning.-45mins. The questions are quite easy,if u go thru RSAgarwal u wud be able to answer the

questions but the problem is u need to be really really fast in answering the question...Verbal was also quite tough u need to go thru GRE book I guess....Logical Reasoning was quite cool for most of the questions the choice 'a' was the answer so didn;t have to bother going thru the other choices.I wasn't able to complete the paper as I told u Speed is essential... To be specific there were qns on "Trains","Compound Interest"(4-5 qns in this),"Time and Work"(if A does in so many days,B does in so many days how long will A+B take kinds!),"Proportion"(if u mix so much sugar in -litres of water what is the percentage of sugar in the soln...!), a,b are prime nos, a=b+2 is a an odd number(yes/no?) I think the answer is Yes. In Verbal give antonyms for waffle,dissonance,Chagrin.... Relations:- Sartorial:Tailor ; Feud : ----------; and Some fill in the blanks. They selected some 38 ppl for the Interview by 1.30pm .I got selected for the Interview.Interview was held the same day. Interview was purely HR he asked questions like; Brief me about what u have done after ur 12th What do u consider as ur Strengths What was ur project on? What are ur software skills? Are u strong in ur Technical Skills(I said yes,he didn't ask me tech. qns.) The placement was for the position of "Programmer",placement will be in Mumbai or Pune. 1st one month will be Training on Mainframes,Languages etc....from 9am to 11pm!!!!! Then u wud be put into live projects.
