Paper Pattern
APTITUDE TEST:
Well its the most difficult section of the whole process, a major
eliminating round you can say !! The aptitude test consist of two
sections
1.LOGICAL REASONING (30 QUESTIONS 40 MINS)
2.VERBAL ABILITY (40 QUESTIONS 30 MINS)
Der
z sectional cut-off in each section its around 60% in LR part and 50%
in VA no negative marking but there is hit-ratio cut off so never do
any kind of blind guessing becuse many of my frnds got rejected for
dat. Put right information on the HR form given at the time of ur apti,
I personally found it very confusing.
1. LOGICAL REASONING:
Series completion, data sufficiency, data interpretation, 1 puzzle, syllogisms, 1 problem (no quanti in INFY)
2. VERBAL ABILITY:
logical
fill in the blanks, grammar, correct the sentence, sentence ordering, 2
huge paragraphs.. time management is most important in this section.
