Round: Test
Experience: This round is the most common round in a general campus recruitment procedure. I have been practising for this round for quite some time, like for 4-5 months. And finally the day came. It was on 1st of September 2016. So it is still fresh in my mind. The test started at somewhere around 2 p.m (as because the number of computers were less than the number of applicants, so we were divided into batches). I was confident enough with the paper as i practised many of them at the time of preparation. We have been told that the paper will be adaptive type. But those who gave the test denied this fact. There were three rounds, aptitude, followed by verbal and logical reasoning. I was tensed at the time of the test as i was fresher and many had expectations from me. Verbal round was easy ( many questions were common with the previous years questions), logical round was easy too, but the aptitude round was a bit tricky. I did some grave mistakes in the aptitude round. So after the test was completed, i was surely not confident with the aptitude portion,(If you are unable to clear one of them, no matter how well you score in the others, you will be rejected). In the evening the results came and luckily i was selected for the second round i.e the technical round.
Tips: KEEP PRACTISING THE QUESTIONS..!! Solve questions online as the final test will be machine based and not written. try to solve the question quickly. If possible, buy an aptitude book and solve questions from there. In the final test, If you can't solve a question, SIMPLY LEAVE it and go for the next question. NEVER EVER TRY TO SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING. Its a grave mistake and can cost you your career. Do your best. Believe in yourself and let your hard work speak..!!
Good luck.!!

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The technical round started at around 10-11 a.m. The interviewer was young and neutral at expression. It wasn't easy to judge how the interviewer was. He started with the default question which was "TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF". I practised that question for about 1000 times and as expected i nailed it. Then he went through my resume. I had included C,JAVA and DBMS as my skill sets. So the questions were from that portions only. i some how managed to answer them all. But i answered wrong in many of them. Seeing the body language of the recruiter. i was sure that i failed to impress him and i'll get rejected. But at last he asked 2 trick questions and i answered it LIKE A BOSS.!! That was the turning point of my interview and he was impressed with that. My interview was over there and shortly after, i was told that i was selected for the HR round. I was too excited as i was selected for the HR round.
Tips: PRESENCE OF MIND IS THE KEY..!!! No matter how many wrong answers you give. One impressive right answer can get you your job. Recruiter is no machine or God. He is also a man. Be confident, speak well and to the point. If you don't know the answer, at least try once. Don't be overconfident and over smart. Be yourself. Practise Tell me about yourself thoroughly.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This round is simple conversation round. The HR will ask you question to see what you are. Your behaviour, your body language, your temper, etc, There is no rocket science to crack this round. If you manage to qualify for this round, Consider 90% job done. Be frank, jolly, answer questions to the point. Try to mix up with him. and always KEEP A SMILE ON YOUR FACE. You will definitely qualify..!!
Tips: BE CONFIDENT & BE YOURSELF..!!

General Tips: Start practising for the aptitude round from 4-5 months before the actual test. Practise from various enlisted websites. It helps a lot..!! Believe me. Strengthen your basic concepts. Give only those subjects in your resume with whom you are confident with. Do add your extra curricular activities. It helps.

Round: Test
Experience: The test was a really basic one. Also the cut off was decided depending upon the performance of those who have appeared for the exam. So a basic knowledge of maths, reasoning and verbal helped me get through the exam. Each section  had a specific time limit and cut off. I was able to complete each section within stipulated time and able to answer most of them correctly. My knowledge of aptitude I had through my coaching also helped me.
Tips: Keep your cool and don't get tensed. the questions are not above the tenth class standard even. You'll have a lot of time to think and answer every question. Don't take a risk of copying. You can surely crack the test. You'll know few questions before you enter the examination centre, as people who already appeared for the test have a habit of debating on these questions. I'm sure the paper is same for all the batches. So there isn't any reason to worry at all.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: My college is one of the biggest ones in Andhra Pradesh. To handle the entire bunch of comparatively better students in the state, they gave us a privilege of clearing only Test and Interview. We had no group discussion.  Coming to interview, mine was purely on HR. The questions were expected and are common HR questions for most of interviews. He asked me to tell me about myself. I told him everything. Then he had gone through my resume and asked me a few questions on my intern-ships, social activities and about the events in which I participated and organised. I explained him everything. Then he asked  me why software and then why Infosys. I answered these questions too. That's all about the questions. My panellist was a cool guy. He was laughing all through. So I could answer exactly on what I've prepared. In fact I was laughing through the entire process. It was like a small chat with a strange and new friend.
Tips: Be prepared on your resume. Every point counts. The panellists can easily guess which isn't your true achievement and can grill you on that. So be careful while preparing your resume and be prepared to answer any question related to your resume. There were people who had experience Technical round also. So having a knowledge of Basic C language will be helpful. Common HR questions are available on the internet. Most of the interview depends on how we attempt these questions. So be prepared on those questions and finally the most important thing is, don't get tensed, keep a smile on your face and let the words flow even if you feel they are wrong.

General Tips: This is a campus placement and the panellists are surely going to select most of you. A 7 day preparation is more than enough. Prepare well. Don't get tensed. Keep a smile on your face. Your confidence level matters the most for them. So don't regret for few mistakes in the interview process.
College Name: ANDHRA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
Motivation: This was an On campus drive in my college and I had to surely apply for this company as I had no core company visiting my campus. Many of my seniors are working in this campus and have told me that the training in Infosys is an ultimate one.
Funny Moments: I already knew many of the questions in verbal ability before I appeared for the exam from my friends. Also we could discuss and answer few questions in the test. The interviewer was a funny guy. The entire session was really funny and we had a debate on the company's owner for a while which was more funny
