I am a fresher who just finsiehd my final year B.Tech Information Technology.Being fully
prepared for the selection test for Infy on June 19th, and with God's grace I was able to get an
appointment Order form Infosys.I would like to give back to the group the 10 day schedule that i
followed, which may be of use in CRACKING the Infy test.If 10 days arent there for you, then
you coudl leve out the days that i have used for Ravi Narula and the quantitaive Aptitude. That
would bring down the number of days to 7 or 8. You need to manage your time very effeciently.
Spend your itme in studying, and prayers. Prayers do help a lot .

Usually when you register with Infosys, you woul get a mail atleast 10 to 12 days before the
written test either by email, or by Post.Let us keep this as 10 days.Before we start off, three rules
must be kep in mind.

While job hunting , check your mail on a daily basis, so that you dont get
delayed info regarding test or other such details . Even the appointment order comes by email.

   Once you do receive the intimating or hall ticket, check for the following
books.Not all chapters need to be followed in each book and i have given the need ones in the
daily schedule .

9 YOU must forget all your previosu failures and start afresh with firm
determination and enthusiasm. Once you do this , solving puzzles become easy . I solved 9 out of
10 puzzles. Concentrate on the bigger puzzles first . This may be the way the marks are
distributed:

8 marks and 6 marks - George Sammers and Verbal Reasoning (R.S Agarwal)
4 marks and 5 marks and 3 makrs - Shakuntala Devi books and Ravi Narula and Quantitative
Aptitude(R.S Agarwal)
Some questions from Previous Papers

Now lets start of with the schedule :

4:cStart off with Puzzles to Puzzle you - Shakuntala Devi and finish as mush as
possible.Decide to only finish the book and call the day off. Note down the sums which you are
not able to solve or need the answers to solve and keep this list safely. After you go through the
whole book, go back to thses questions and just check out the way they are solced. Sometimes
they will not be explained. In this case you have no choice but to leave them. But some sums will
have some funny explanations.Just rememeber the way or method.

4:*Now take a break off from Shakuntala Devi and then start Verbal Reasoning - R.S
Agarwal . In this you just have to do the Puzzle Test Chapter fully , and have a look at the
Number, Ranking and Sequence Test chapter. I contains fully George Sammers type question on
easier scale but you woudl be able to uderstand the basic logic of solving George Sammers type
questions.Finish off the whole book during the second day.There is just one or two methods to
solve these sort of questions and the explanation is very clear . Once you get the method , you
can solve al the puzzles in this, but just in case do go through all the puzzles. there have been
puzzles in previous papers from here.Once ou get the method well, there will not be any revision
necessary in this book . But you will have to concentrate on the method.

4:, Now back to More Puzzles - Shakuntala Dei and follow the same procedure you
followed for the first book.

4:. 4:2 Get your George Sammers book and start off solving the puzzles. The
first half is kind of easy, btu dont be worried if your not able to solve much. Even one or two is
enough . The Rest , you just have to use the scheme and the solutions and then understand the
puzzle thoroughly. Many papers have similar sums with the names changed. Try to finish the
first half in a day . And start off the second half . The second half is relatively tougher, and it ill
be very confusing. Just try to solve some. The second half , even the solutions will confuse you
more. So just solve as many as you can. The rest you can make use of the soultions . If they are
too complex, Leave them aside. Note down all sums you could not solve or could solve only
using the solutions and list them . When you are through the whole book, just revise all the sums,
giving preference to the ones that you have listed . It si okay even if you sit with George
Sammers for three days. But you must fully be able to undertsand all the question in the First
part. The second part , atleast maybe few sums are optional.

4:6Take your quantitative Aptitude book by R.S Agarwal and work out the following
chapters fully. Note down tough sums and their solutions and come back to solve thme and
revise them . The chapters to be done are :

(1) Time and Distance (very important)


(2) Time and Work
(3) Pipes and Cisterns
(4) Trains
(5) Boats

4:8 Revise Shakuntala Devi book-1 and revise it well. Not necessary to wokr out the
porblems. Just check if your method is correct . The sums you have listed, give them extra
importance. By the end of this day , you must Shakuntala Devi book-1(Puzzles to Puzzle you )
on your finger tips.

4:; Revise the book-2 of Shakuntala Devi , just how you revised the first book.End of this
day you shoudl ahve both Shakuntala devi books at your finger tips.


4:<Revise George Sammers, such that you can easily solve the whole first part . The
second part , leave ii , if it is tough.

4:c  Check out Ravi Narula. The sums are very tough . It will be enough if you just c the
solutions and understand them . Some sums are asked in some papers.( There is one questin abt
some ANYMAN reaching ANYWHERE. His tyre gets punctured and he reaches late.If his tyre
got punctured earlier / later then he would have reached earlier/later. How far did he
travel..soemthing like that).that is form this book . Many papers have this sum repeated. But the
names are changed. Ravi Narula is just optional, but I suggest that you go through all sums and
their solution atleast once.Dont take too much time on Ravi Narula. Just three or four hours
would be sufficient.

 7= Interview is Casual.If you have done excellently well in the test , your
interview process is very simple and a walkthrough if you have good communication skills (
Speak clearly, frankly). My Interview Panle consisted of one Madame and one Sir. They asked
me abt Team Wokr, Abt my College, Abt my family, My hobbies, My interests, Certain changes
i would like to bring out in the current socio-economic development (I said to remove
unemployment).I was nto asked any puzzles in my interview. But I do have a list of puzzles that
coudl be possibly asked. I would post them too on this forum . Interview was very friendly . You
are free to ask the panel your performance and expectation of your order. Be positive. Thats a
very very big Point in your HR interview.My friend had a stress interview. Be cool, Dont react.
Pls do mail me in case you have any doubts. Also mail me if this post has helped you become an
Infosion. I would be very happy if his post has helped few fellow Infosions out there . pls do
lemme know if you do get selected. You can also add me in your messenger. I will be online
everyday, and u can send me offlines to clarify certain doubts .
