PCS (PATNI) PAPER ON 28th DECEMBER 2007
Hi all this is .XXXXXXXX. an Engineering Graduate in Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE) I attaned PCS (Patni computer Systems Ltd) on 28th Dec. On 24th Dec I got a mail from 1 of the PCS HR that they want people for Software Testing, stating that she saw my resume in Naukri.com she asked my response on that.As soon as I saw the mail I mailed my resume with my willingness.
On 26th Dec(I saw it on 27th afternoon)
I got the mail from the same HR, that on 28th Dec I need to attend for Aptitude test->Group discussion.
Time of Reporting: 10.00am
My Venue was Patni Knowledge Pank, Airoli, Navi Mumbai.
They asked me to come with the Resume, photo and Printout of the mail.
Next day I reached on time took ID card from Security
By 10.00 all occupied there respective places.
10.15 Our Xam Started.
Now coming to the Pattern of the exam: It was a 1hr 10min (70 min) test with 60 questions.(Objective type)
The paper was divided in 3 parts.
a) English (15 ques)
b) Analytical ability (15ques)
c) Quantitative ability (30ques)
There was a sectional Cut off with negative (they told while distributing papers)
English, it was the simplest n silliest Que paper tat I have ever seen.....simple questions like fill in the blanks (a, an, the).few other were ……sentence was given n 1 word in the sentence marked we need to find out the synonyms/antonyms.
These all were of about 8 marks, after that i had a passage for remaining marks.
The passage was on open source related (to software) n was quite easy 1 to do.
For Analytical n quantitative part I suggest u to go through R.S Aggarwal Quantitative, Verbal and Non verbal books.
The topics on which they focused were….
Ratio n proportion,
Percentages,
Profit & Loss,
Direction problem,
SI, CI, Chain Rule,
Blood Relation,
Data Sufficiency,
U need to b fast & correct if u want to clear the cutoff
At 11.25am they took the papers n asked us to wait for the result.
After ½ hr they announced the result. 22 were short listed for next session i.e. GD
They had arranged snacks for us, they asked us (4 all) to have it n asked the selected students to come back for GD.
Coming to GD,
We 22 members were divided into group of 2…11 members in each group.
My name was in 1st group.
They provided a paper for rough work (to note down the pts...etc…)
My GD topic was Advertisements r more about glitters not reality.
They provided 2 min for rough work (to think on that topic…)
After that GD started we had a nice discussion (Me contributed some healthy points)...After that HR (two ladies) asked each 1 of us to give conclusion.
If unfortunately u r not able to speak in GD, I advise make use of these kind of golden opportunities and try to put a healthy conclusion (don’t wait for it u may not get a chance for conclusion so try to speak in GD itself…many time the persons who conclude in good manner gets selected)
After GD was over, HR asked us to write our conclusion in that paper, with some pts about PCS & left the room after 5 min they came with the names...
Out of 11 members she announced 7 names including mine….
After that she gave us a form n asked us to bring it on day of Interview (said it will b on 3rd Jan)
On 2nd Jan evening I got a call for Interview,
Venue, reporting time was the same, I reached by 9.15am
Interview started at 9.40am….there were about 5-6 panels…..
At around 10.20 I was called for interview……

HR: can we start with small introduction of u, Ur ’s family, Ur education background, and one project that u have motioned in ur resume.
ME: sure (with a smile) Started in a full flow…after some time when i was explaining my project I was not able to make out the correct sense of my project (as it can’t be explained without any Sketch work) so, I asked her a paper for it…she gave me a paper n I again stated in a full flow….after some time she was satisfied with my explanation
HR: why did u go for this project?
ME: blablabla……
Then some questions related to my project (I was prepared for it becoz in of campus they mainly concentrate on Project)
Then she started asking me questions from my resume(covered almost every pt that I motioned about me in my resume)…… She asked me about my long term goals n my efforts for it asked to explain with an example
Then she asked me about subject….
After some time I found her satisfied with my answers……as she started telling me about the company the work I need to do (as I already said they called us for testing field) was telling me how a person should b in testing field… (This was the time I found myself in safe place n was sure to find my name in the final list).
HR: ok u wait out side the Other HR person will let u know the result.
ME:ok madam.

Time 1hr 10min
Total questions =60
THERE IS NEGATIVE MARKING & SECTIONAL CUT-OFF
PACKAGE:
B.E / B.TECH ----3LACS (2007 batch) as per slide presentation
Verbal:
It is damn easy guys if u are fluent in English then no preparation needed .Else see this article prepositions etc .Then Reading comprehension this is the very time consuming part.you read the whole paragraph when u try to ans the q’s I am sure ans is not in the passage but it is a general one.so don’t waste time there
Analaytical reasoning:
Please work out
puzzles
blood relations
seating arrangement etc
please read RS agarwal verbal and non verbal reasoning
Quantitative Aptitude.
The majority is from
Profit and loss
Percentages
Alligation mixtures
Ratio and proportion
If you learn this surely u can crack the test
Hopefully there is some sectional cut off I think so attempt in all areas
Do not concentrate on one part alone
Have eye on ur watch time will run like anything
Rounds
They conducted first round around 11 o clock and gave one hour ten minutes
After that they asked to finish lunch and come
Man never miss St joseph food especially Non veg had a great lunch
Forgetting the campus tension and around 2 30 the results were announced
From first round they shortlisted 210
Group1
7 batches 10 per batch
Similarly two more groups were there
Gd topics
Orkut should be banned or not
China a threat to India
India in 2020
My topic was India on 2020
In my topic all were shouting but our HR mam was so nice she gave opportunity for all
My first point itself was wrong I was deviating away from the topic
Tht mam said frankly and ask to talk abt the topic so I never left my confidence and spoke and finally they asked to summarize the topic each of us and finally asked everyone to write abt patni luckily a day before I have prepared the company profile
Else no problem listen to the slide what they shw its more than enough
Finaaly from our team 5 got shortlisted and I am one of them
But there was also a case in which 9 people got selected out of 10 .so don’t think they will filter do ur job rest will happen automatically
We waited for one and half hour they gave one application form and asked to fill details
I was very happy as though I got the job but any way waiting for the HR round finally HR called .also my HR is so nice he is very quite and asked
