3I INFOTECH PAPER ON 16th SEPTEMBER 2007

Hi friends, This is Bipin Kadiri (SVMIT Bharuch 2007 passout ), I am going to share my experience with you about the interview of 3i-infotech. I wrote the written test on the 16th of september 2007. The written test is quite simple.You have to just practise the standard 2 books of R.S.Agarwal (quant aptitude & logical reasoning) once thats it. There were will be three sections of 50 questions each: 1.Logical Reasoning 2.Quantitative aptitude 3.English The test will be of 90 minutes duration.So fast calculation is important. A neagative marking of 0.25 marks for every wrong answer is there.so please be careful in that matter.. One more imp thing the questions both aptitude as well as GD & interview are ALL REPEATED So compulsorily go through the kind of questions mentioned here Section 1: English usage In this there was a paragrap, nearly 400 words, about regularization of banking acts. On basis of this para there was q's . These are as follows--> 10 direct q's relataed to para --> 3 Synoyms(Contemporay, Resilence etc.) --> 3 Antonyms --> 9 q's were based on fill in d blanks On an aveage all d synonyms n antonyms were very easy and day to day conversational use. These synonyms and antonyms were given in bold in d para. While solving this type para plz keep in mind that one time reading with better comprehension is nt only helpful, bt u have o use regression. ( this is very tough I suggest u to do this later ) Remaining 15 q's were based on finding out grammatical error(u can see in any cat/ mat preparartion book). Some questions were of the type Jumbled sentences ( u construct a meaningful paragraph) On these some were diifficult.

I suggest you not to attempt the questions based on the para first ( do only synonyms and antonyms ) and do the remaining ques first coz para is too tough and u will end up wasting ur time . In this section i did 35 q's. Section 2 : Reasoning --> Do a lot of questions from VENN DIAGRAMS RS Agarwal ( there will be atleast 5 qs of this type ) for eg : All shirts are clothes all clothes are garments some garments are blue and so on ...... --> caselet based sitting arrangement --> q's based on Blood Relation(if A+B stands for A is father of B , A-B stands for Ais bro of B......... then what is A-B*c so on ) --> q's based on critical resoning(like all banana's are mango, some mangoes are chilli then conclude...) --> q's based on series. In this you have to find out odd one in he series.( very imp all from RS Agarwal ) -> Some on coding decodingg --> Some were slightly different. These were like -- 5 different nos were given and said that 1 is added to the first digit of all numbers and 1 is subtracted from the middle digit. then Find out the second largest n so on. --> Some were Data Sufficiency --> Some questions were like 7@8 #6=50 ( very important ) So what is 9@7#3 == ?? (ie 7*8=56- 6=50) so ( 9*7=63 -3 =60 )

I did around 17 questions in this section Section 3 : Arithmetic In this topic on which Q's were based, is as 1. Probab -- 5 q's, in this q like--- there are different balls in a bag as3-green, 5-blue, 7-red. 6black then find out the probab of getting 2 red balls, gtting at least 1 gren ball while picking up 3 balls n so on. 2. Series Completion- 5 q (Entirely from RS Agarwal) 3. Simplification-10-12 q, as (1) if 12.48 / ? / 56.4 = 12.3 then find ? and so on (Only calculation based but very easy ----------- must attempt) 4. Compound Interest -1q (Direct Formula) 5. Trains speed-1q as, A train crosses a platform of length double of its length, in 30 sec. Find speed of train.(Ans- can not determined) 6. Data Interpretation- 15 q, 2tables and 1 pie chart, vey easy just calculation basis.(but very lengthy) 7. Do the ques of linear equations , profit & loss and ratio and proprtion also. All depends on UR CALCULATION SPEED. So start mental calculation from today it will help u in this and other papers as well.

All d Best.. I did around 20 questions in this section Total around 65-70 questions were sufficient to put me n my friends thru The results were out on 12th of October.. Then we were called for GD and interview on 27th of October. First, i would like to tell you about the GD. My topic was Role of press is it invading our privacy ??? there were other topics like "Cricket is a national obsession that is a detriment to other sports". "Politics can a person be corruption free in politics" "should celebrities participate in commercials". SPORTS tooo much importance to cricket diversity in India is it hampering unity leaders are born or made ??? I was selected in GD also..GD is also okay..You have to be confident and atleast speak..but never keep mum.. Make three valid points atleast..Do not stick on only one point throughout the discussion..that also matters.. Whether u speak for the topic or against that is immaterial. .if points are good,think that you have cleared your GD. In a batch,out of 12, (4-5) of were selected... Coming to interview,mine was just HR but to computer & IT guys there were a few tech questions There will be a sir and a madam They asked me: descirbe urself ( dont say my name is ... and I got xy percent instead say I would like to introduce myself as a hardworking induvidual etc ) do u have a valid passport ? y do you want to wrok in software side ? r u willing to sign bond ? what r ur hobbies ? what was ur take in the GD ? a little bit regarding my academic project.. what is sdlc?the steps involved in the same ur strengths and weaknesses justification for the same ... why are u leaving ur existing company? Family background ? where u see 5 years from now ? Do u wish to relocate? (ans should be yes definitely i love travelling ) where do u find urself after 3 years from now? what was ur role in the previous company? are u ready to work in any kind of profile? what is IT according to you? Then they asked me if i have any questions.. I just asked what will be my role in the company if i get selected.. Thats it..The intvw is simple.You have to be confident.Thats it.

I have written the apti on 16th of Sept 2007.....the test was scheduled to start at 10 am and it did.

The paper had 3 sections 1) English (verbal) 2) Quantitative Ability 3) Reasoning

All the three sections were easy (as it was supposed to be...since v had only 90 min to answer 150 questions)...but there was negative marking Make sure you do not have to attempt all the questions (not at all possible).....just go at all the sections with equal time periods since we have sectional cutoffs.... sectional cutoffs will depend on the individual sections difficulty level....so spending equal time with all the sections would justify the paper.30 min with each section and starting with your strengths would give you loads of confidence and will decide your result...well now we shall look at the individual sections briefly

1)

English (verbal) It had one Reading Comprehension (10 questions based on it), Grammar (Major part), few synonyms (2), antonyms (4), and one cloze passage (10 blanks). Overall the section was easy enough to clear the cutoff.just make sure you are getting clear with the grammar concepts before going for the exam (this is the only deciding factor in this section).cloze passage and RCs would be helpful to clear the cutoff pretty easily (if one is not sure of all the answers in grammar)..make sure do not spend more then 25 min for answering and 5 min of shading the answers in the OMR sheet..try to go through all the questions and answer them only if u r confident (a guess here and there can work but majority should be your proper answers) 2) Quantitative ability This is the section of pure calculations. One need to have good grip on percentages, Time speed and distance, averages, Work and allegations, calculations, little bit of numbers and most importantly DI (data Interpretation).you get around 3 sets of DI (15 questions) and all are based on pure calculations and observations.please go through all the line graphs, bar graphs, pie charts and all sort of graphs.5 questions were directly on calculations which was the most easiest part of the section..forgot to tell about the Data Sufficiency (there were around 8 questions)-----difficulty level was very easy..remember to spend only 30 min for each section There are sectional cutoffs. 3) Reasoning This section is all about the observation. Please take as many practice test as possible from R.S Agarwal..this is the lengthiest section (but never mindeverybody has to go with the same kind of questions)..and also remember one thing we shall not try to attempt all the questions (if u do, it will be a big blunder)..make sure answer them with care and get it correct the moment you attempt that. Answering few questions with good accuracy would guide you through this section as well as the paper.

Dos and donts 1) Take the watch in the examination centre without fail (no cell phones allowed) along with you pencil, pen and eraser. 2) Make sure to take care of time 3) Dont try to look here and there even if you dont get any questions (try another question which can get you some very crucial marks for you) 4) Check the question paper thoroughly for the printing 5) Practice prior to the exam will only help you to do the questions fast and correctly (thought the questions will look very easy but the time factor is the only important factor.you may do it correctly if you are give some extra time).this is the speed test rather than skill test 6) Try to avoid sharing of your stationary 7) Fill your OMR sheet perfectly before starting the exam, so that you may not have to come back to the OMR sheet and check 8) Just try and save as much time as possible and give your 100% in those 90 min. Rest is all in almightys hands
