Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Resume is the most important part of your whole placement process. Your resume reflects your whole profile, what you are. So, we had to do that properly. Main thing is the format of the resume. For getting the proper format itself we had to go through a lot, but our staffs do guide us so that's not a problem.
Tips: Stick to the proper and latest format and make sure your resume shouldn't be more than 2 pages, that's ideal for a fresher. Write only those points that are valid and if any question asked related to that, you can answer.

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.
