Here is the most updated placement paper pattern of infy ie 2007 pattern. Hope u find it useful.

1st paper : Aptitide Paper, Time : 40 mins, Questions: 30
2nd paper : English, Time : 35 mins, Questions: 40

1st Paper is divided in 6 sections...

1st section : A small easy Puzzle and 5 easy questions based on the puzzle , In my paper following puzzle was there:

4 players A,B,C,D are playing a game. The rule of the game is that the person who loses the game will double the money of other players from the money he is having. They play 4 consecutive games and after the completion of 4 games each player had 32 rupees. If each player loses in one game and that in alphabetical order of their names, then answer the following:

Five Questions like who started with what money, or what amount of money a person has after a particular round. if u solve the puzzle the questions wont take more than a minute.

Solution to this puzzle :

In these type of questions always follow the reverse order. in this question since money is to remain same that is 32 X 4 = 128, so this condition should be satisfied at every step.

since in last round D loses and thus before this round (ie in 3rd round) A,B,C must have had half the money they own now (ie 16) because D must have doubled their money in 4th round, Money with D in 3rd round can be calculated by subtrating money owned by A,B,C from 128 (ie 128 - 16X3 = 80). we can proceed in similar fashion to get the money persons owned before starting to play game. Make a table like this, it will speed up the process.

so, after the round x : money with A : B : C : D

4 : 32 : 32 : 32 : 32
3 : 16 : 16 : 16 : 80
2 : 8 : 8 : 72 : 40
1 : 4 : 68 : 36 : 20
starting of game : 66 : 34 : 18 : 10

Now u can answer the questions based on the puzzle from the table.


2nd Section : 5 questions on Analytical Reasoning, I had 5 based on completion of figures, ie what could be the next pluasible figure. time required to complete such questions should not be more then 3 mins.

3rd Section : 5 questions on Data sufficiency, u can practice these type of questions from the books on CAt preperation. Questions are very easy and can be completed in 3-4 mins if u know all the tactics to handle these type of questions. tatctics are not much and are very easy so do practice, these questions can giv u 100% result. practice atleast 40 - 50 questions. and the more u do the more u become perfect.

4th Section : 5 questions on Data Interpretation, also from CAT pattern. The questions easy but take time to solve. Practice on all type of data ie Bar charts, Pie Charts, Line Charts etc. Mine question was based on 2 pie charts. I suggest attempt these questions in the last.

5th section : 5 questions again on a puzzle, mine was to make an arrangement to make people seat in a circle.

Always remember if people are asked to be seated in a circle always judge their left or right by seeing their face and if they are to be arranged in a straight line then always judge left or right seeing people from their back. U can have learn more on how to solve these type of questions again from a CAT book.

6th section : 5 questions on logical reasoning. Also easy ones.


So in all I can say paper was easy if u had practiced on questions. Do remember not waste ur rough work sheet (ie a single A4 page).
