mug this flow chart.. same flow chart came for us..it is very difficult to remember the ques.. i am sorry that
i cudnt able to reproduce.. for the 3rd Section i remember few que:
Section 3: 1- problem on tower of hanoi--ans 7

2 problem on fig. find the shaded area, square of size 14cm.. ans: 42
3. problem on symmetric fig ;; ans less than the 1172(check) .
4. few questions on blood relationship.. (refer r.s. agrawal reasoning)
sample ques..man looking at photo tells that " the daughter of this person is the only son etc..." try to
familiar on this ..
5 . again ques on relationship..; 6 persons are there A, B, C, D, E, F.
i) how many male: ans -4
ii)how many female- ans 2
iii) how D related to A; - similar ques ..easy ..
6)u have the series of letters..need to find the odd one out..
tips: u identify the pattern all the choices follow the pattern except one..
eg: given words are say ..ABCD , JKLM, OPQR, UVWX, EGHI
in this the last set do not follow the pattern..
in case of ABCD- all are continious.
JKLM , OPQR, UVWX..follow same all are continious ..
If u see the EGHI – this is not continious as EFGH shud me there..got it …
U have 4 ques on this..easy one..
6) u have to fill the missing letter in the series.. little bit tough.. 4 ques..but easy..
7) u have 3 figure –based on the figures ques asked.. easy one..
eg: Fig Triangle means Strong
Fig Square means Tall
Fig Circle means Fair.
Ques asked is find the number that represents Strong Tall and Fair persons.. easy one ..
So u have 3 ques on this pattern..
8) u have ques on flow chart..easy..very simple..
NOTE: they r looking for the toppers ..so if u r the topper than no probs. Mostly CGPA of 8 + is they
expect. To shortlist.

test on July 20th 9am.Many people had come to write the Test....The classrooms in all the 3 floors of the
building got filled.They first give u Section-2 aptitude-60mins(dunno why they jumbled the order of
section 1 & 2.)Then they give Section 1- Verbal-15minsLastly,Section 3- Logical Reasoning.-45mins.The
questions are quite easy,if u go thru RSAgarwal u wud be able to answer the questions but the problem is u
need to be really really fast in answering the question...Verbal was also quite tough u need to go thru GRE
book I guess....Logical Reasoning was quite cool for most of the questions the choice 'a' was the answer so
didn;t have to bother going thru the other choices.I wasn't able to complete the paper as I told u Speed is
essential...
To be specific there were qns on "Trains","Compound Interest"(4-5 qns in this),"Time and Work"(if A does
in so many days,B does in so many days how long will A+B take kinds!),"Proportion"(if u mix so much
sugar in -litres of water what is the percentage of sugar in the soln...!),
a,b are prime nos, a=b+2 is a an odd number(yes/no?)
I think the answer is Yes.
In Verbal give antonyms for waffle, dissonance, Chagrin....
Relations: - Sartorial: Tailor; Feud: ----------;

and some fill in the blanks.
They selected some 38 ppl for the Interview by 1.30pm .I got selected for the Interview. Interview was held

Thanks for your support by sending papers of Syntel. I had campus recuritment program by Syntel on last
Saturday. The test consist of general apptitude. I feel the paper is very easy. I was shortlisted for interview.
Along with me 5 - MCA and 30 B.E got shorlisted for interview. On Wednesday(9-July,2003) I had
interview. The interview is only HR. The guy who interviewed me was so cool. He started the interview
with the question "Tell me about urself?" Then, he asked about my hobbies, postive and negative qualites.
Then he asked about "What do u think to be a good software profession?". Then he asked about my
project? Nothing technical. The interview last 10 - 15 mins. I am awaithing for the result.
Paper pattern: 12
I attened syntel intv today. It was purely HR for me. Not even one question from technical side. There r
about 5 or 6 panels. It is one to one interview. Most of the panels were like that. In one panel they asked
Linked list programs and asked them to give a speech abt any topic for 3 minutes. They rarely ask tech
ques. 1 ques in microprocessor was how will U find a no odd or even [there is another method other than
successive division which has got something to do with the last bit of the number]. For a EEE student there
was a question from House wiring.
On the whole they measure Ur communication skills and ability to work in a team. Prepare for ques like
where U c urself in 5 years from now, wat is Ur hobbies, How was ur project team, wat difficulties U faced
in Ur project group and how U overcome those etc. Be prepared to explain Ur project clearly. The
interview was very friendly. All the best for those going to attend the interview

For English, practice the Test Papers of Barrons GRE Guide. The entire paper was copied word-by-word
from there. Also few questions were a repeat from the old papers.
The toughest part was the Maths section. TIME IS A REAL CONSTRAINT. Practice to attempt questions
real fast. The questions were of R S Agarwal pattern. Some of them were a repeat. I remember few
questions:
1. If A can do a work in 12 days, B in 24 days and C in 6 days, then how many days will they take to finish
the job together.
2. Travelling at 3/4 of his speed, a man is 20 minutes late. Calculate his original speed.
The reasoning part was easy. Most of the questions were on the alphabet series. Like if the alphabets of
English are reversed then which would be the letter from the 7th and so on.
Try to attempt 50% questions from each section if you wich to get a cll for interview. Trying to attempt all
the questions is foolishness.
Then they give Section 1- Verbal-15mins
Lastly,Section 3- Logical Reasoning.-45mins.
The questions are quite easy,if u go thru RSAgarwal u wud be able to answer the questions but the problem
is u need to be really really fast in answering the question...Verbal was also quite tough u need to go thru
GRE book I guess....Logical Reasoning was quite cool for most of the questions the choice 'a' was the
answer so didn;t have to bother going thru the other choices.I wasn't able to complete the paper as I told u
Speed is essential...
To be specific there were qns on
"Trains","Compound Interest"(4-5 qns in this),"Time and Work"(if A does in so many days,B does in so
many days how long will A+B take kinds!),"Proportion"(if u mix so much sugar in -litres of water what is
the percentage of sugar in the soln...!),
In Verbal give antonyms for waffle,dissonance,Chagrin....
Relations:- Sartorial:Tailor ; Feud : ----------;
and Some fill in the blanks.

mug this flow chart.. same flow chart came for us..it is very difficult to remember the ques.. i am sorry that
i cudnt able to reproduce.. for the 3rd Section i remember few que:
Section 3: 1- problem on tower of hanoi--ans 7

2 problem on fig. find the shaded area, square of size 14cm.. ans: 42
4. few questions on blood relationship.. (refer r.s. agrawal reasoning)
sample ques..man looking at photo tells that " the daughter of this person is the only son etc..." try to
familiar on this ..
5 . again ques on relationship..; 6 persons are there A, B, C, D, E, F.
i) how many male: ans -4
ii)how many female- ans 2
iii) how D related to A; - similar ques ..easy ..
6)u have the series of letters..need to find the odd one out..
tips: u identify the pattern all the choices follow the pattern except one..
eg: given words are say ..ABCD , JKLM, OPQR, UVWX, EGHI
in this the last set do not follow the pattern..
in case of ABCD- all are continious.
JKLM , OPQR, UVWX..follow same all are continious ..
If u see the EGHI – this is not continious as EFGH shud me there..got it …
U have 4 ques on this..easy one..
6) u have to fill the missing letter in the series.. little bit tough.. 4 ques..but easy..
7) u have 3 figure –based on the figures ques asked.. easy one..
eg: Fig Triangle means Strong
Fig Square means Tall
Fig Circle means Fair.
So u have 3 ques on this pattern..
8) u have ques on flow chart..easy..very simple..
NOTE: they r looking for the toppers ..so if u r the topper than no probs. Mostly CGPA of 8 + is they
expect. To shortlist.

I attened syntel intv . It was purely HR for me. Not even one question from technical side. There r about 5
or 6 panels. It is one to one interview. Most os the panels were like that. In one panel they aasked Linked
list programs and asked them to give a speech abt any topic for 3 minutes. They rarely ask tech ques. 1 ques
in microprocessor was how will U find a no odd or even [ there is another method other than sucessive
divsion which has got something to do with the last bit of the number]. For a EEE student there was a
question from House wiring.
in Ur project group and how U overcome those etc. Be prepared to explain Ur project clearly.
The interview was very friendly. All the best for those going to attend the interview

happened to get these info after my xam but no worries coz i got thru the xam. hey frankly speakin time is
very important in this test. verbal u can do it off cooly. n analytical i guess u wont be able to sove all in
time. i cudn't do n may be some can finish it off in time.
comin to quants u have to really squeeze ur sweat out of ur pants to finish it off in time. i guess no one will
be able to complete this section on time. hey truly speakin if u dont prepare seriously for test u wont be able
to cross even the cut-off. so guys prepare hard. some questions r damn easy i mean they look as if they need
some solving steps but if u people
think logically u can straight away know the answer.
The test was like.
verbal 25 qns(15 min)....cutoff is 15 i guess
anal 30 qns( 30 min).....cutoff is 15
quants 45 qns(30 min)....cutoff is 22 or 23
comin to my interview..it was cool. as i told u before HR n a bit

abt project. they will declare the results in 10 or 12 days.
i was a bit nervous when i entered the room but i became cool within
seconds after the interviewer gave me a firm shake hand.
> he asked me to tell abt my family..
> then he asked me like did i gave my gre or toefl.
> then he asked the reason for not givin gre
> then i told abt myself..i mean my qualities..
when i told tat i'm a good advicer he immediately bombarded with a
question like when did u come to know tat u r a good advicer.. so be
prepared with some experiences with support ur qualities..
> then he asked me abt my hobbies..i also made him to smile while
saying my hobbies..
> he dint ask me anything abt the project as generally people ask but
he asked me like y did u choose this project.
> then he asked me like do i know anything abt the company..
> then he asked me any questions..then said bye.
tatz all i have to say..i got many mails i replied to some n i thought tat instead of writing individually i write
to group so tat everyone will get the info n also the people who wrote me mails for info.
i wrote everything tat i know n itz all upto u to show ur talent now.
