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:
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 �
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..
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.

and fell down 3mts in the alternately. Length of the poll is 60 mts ,
how much time it will take to reach the top?

4. X men work for X days to produce X products, then Y men can
produce Y products in ---- days.
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.
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...
They selected some 38 ppl for the Interview by 1.30pm .I got selected for the
Interview.Interview was held the same day.
Are u strong in ur Technical Skills(I said yes,he didn't ask me tech. qns.)
