Main Areas to focus : Online Test, HR interview

First round details : Hi guys My Name is Girish Tharwani. It started with the online test at Nagpur. Online test was easy and we had to solve 90 questions in 60 minutes. It was divided into three sections – Quantitative, English and Reasoning.
1. Quantitative aptitude was easy but time consuming. It consists of 10 questions on data interpretation, 2-3 questions on percentage , 2 -3 questions on profit loss , 2 questions on speed and distance , 3 -4 questions on simple, compound interest.
If you practice solving solved questions of R S Agrawal, you will crack it.

2.English part consists 1 Reading comprehension whose size is about 1 page and just 5 – 6 questions on it. I just skipped it because of the time limit. Letter part contains error spotting which was very easy and cloze passage.
You don’t need to put on special efforts for English.

3.Reasoning was the easiest part in the test. But due to time limit many of the students failed to reach reasoning part. It consists of 5 questions on deductions,3 questions on blood relations , 5 questions on coding decoding and some basic questions
In online test, I will advice u to just skip the questions you are facing it difficult. The letter part is easy. Try avoiding the reading comprehension in English
Rest you will make it.

Interview experiences:
After 15 days I received a call letter inviting me to come at G.L.bajaj Greater Noida.
At Noida three rounds were schedules – GD , Technical and HR Interview.
1. In GD, they were giving easy topics like ‘ Facebook is a time pass or not’ , ‘Mobiles should be banned in collage or not’ , etc.
From a group of 10 students they selected 4 students.

2. In technical, they were emphasizing on your final year project. As I’m from ETC department, I was worried about the programming languages. But they asked everything that I mentioned in my Resume.
Some of the questions were – tell me something about yourself, about your project, why Syntel?
Just be confident and answer it with a smiling face. You will make it!!

3.HR was the round of elimination for most of the candidates. Mentally prepare yourself for this round. HR round was the toughest of all the Interviews I faced. HR was trying too hard to confuse me. It lasts approx 25 – 30 minutes.
Some of the questions are:-Tell me something about yourself, long term goal, short term goal, why Syntel? How many yrs u will work with us? What’s your goal in Sytel? and some basic questions.
Just after the HR interview, I received three magical words that ‘YOU ARE SELECTED

!! ‘ which was a great moment for me. The package offered to us was 2.9 per annum. Locations are Mumbai, Pune and Chennai.
