- Placement Paper

Paper Content :

VERBAL( 20 min):
5 synonyms, 10 antonyms( all from BARRON\'S GRE book. Please work on the exercises given in it). And in addition to this there was a paragraph given with blanks in it. Each blank had a number in brackets( this refers to the question no). to fill these blanks 5 sentences were given. We had to choose the appropriate sentence which would fit in to the blank so that there was continuity between the sentences preceding and following the blank. This was very difficult.

QUANTITATIVE (40 min):
This was the easiest section. Solve all the old questions from the previous papers of YAHOO and your sure to attempt 90% of the questions. There were some data interpretation questions also (10 in number). Totally 50 questions, so managing the time is very important.

CRITICAL REASONING (30 min):
This section had 3 questions with 4 sub questions each. One question was very simple having a 5 delegates speaking different languages and questions based on them. Another question was on seating arrangement and the third question was on time table for a student to take up various classes. I was told that similar can be found in the Barron\'s GRE book from 12th edition. Please practise solving such questions as the time given is very less.

After I submitted my answers, I got the psychometry test on the screen. 150 questions with yes no can\'t say as the answers. A lot of students were eliminated from this also so be frank while answering the questions and don\'t try to change the answers once u have marked them.

The next day interviews were held. Around 20 people had come. My interview went well. Basically it was Technical, but he also asked HR questions. There were 2 people. One guy would look straight at me as I was answering, observing keenly and the other guy was looking in to the form that we were asked to fill up and asking me questions. Some of the questions were :

Tell us about yourself.
