8 figures were given in the form given below and u will have to find 9th one by the combination of the 8 previous ones. 8 options were given out of which one was correct.
A B C
D E F
G H __
Here ABCDEFGH are all different figures and u will have to find the last one. There r some definite rules of solving these types of problems.......
(1) Some problems were of overlapping pattern. Putting A on B u will get C. Putting D on E u will get F, so on.
(2) Some problems were like a musical chair pattern. Three figures were there on every row. They repeat with a diff pattern on the other row.
(3) Subtract the common portion of A & B and add the uncommon portion to get figure C.
(4) Each figure contains multiple shades and each shade move to the next figure using a definite pattern(may b by shifting right or left).
(5) Product of A & B to produce C. ( If A is square,B bend line....C will be square like figure with sides bended)
the paper was prepared by J.C.Raven. u can refer the book figure matrices by j.c.raven all Q were from that book itself. it will like very is but toughness will increase from q to q.
Most of the problems can be solved by these ways. The first 20 were very easy.20-30 were mediocore level tough. 30-36 were untouchable. I amnaged to do 31 within the stipulated time. I got my name in no 2 position. The cutoff maybe was 25 or

Me: I am honest, and it can be shown that i have written everything honestly in my form. This char. can be shown acc. to situation. Team player: I was captain of Cricket team and was a mid-fielder in football team. We won the chapionship in first year and in the next year i was dropped coz our team was very powerful. Although i was not playing i was happy coz our team was performing well. I think i have the team spirit for a team player which is one of the main req of a software professional.

Lady 2: Analytical & Prob. solving.....Proove it.

lady 1: Why u took Enginnering ? And what makes u feel that u r good in prob. solving ?
Me: I was interested in Maths n Physics from my school days. I scored high marks in 9-10 which made me realize that i am good enough for engg and i have the skill of solving complex problems. I like solving any prob. from personal probs to those related to computer or projects. I joined engg. coz i felt that i cud improve my khowledge n Skills in math n physics by getting into B.Tech.
Lady 2: I give u Rs 100 and tell u to buy apples and u go to market and find apples n Mangoes. What will u buy n Why ?
Me: Apples coz i have been told to do so.
Lady 2: u wrote in ur form that u have stammer.Is this nervousness. What ur doing to improve it ?
Me: No mam ! My stammer is hereditary. And i am trying to speak in a diff. accent which is helping me a lot. (For those who stammer....Try to speak english in a diff. accent it really works.....I hav this prob since childhood....so i speak English just like the UK type coz the accent is much less in those languages unlike bengali where the tongue moves a lot).
Lady 2: Any campus interviews ?
Me: ya i have. I appeared for TCS and HCL while i was in college. I cleared both the written n Pchyco and failed in the interviews in both the test. (I didn't metion that i also got rejected in many other interviews as well coz they don't like students who fail too much in interviews.).
Lady 1: why u got rejected ?
Me: Maybe, I was not techically sound then. ( I managed to peep in a paper about me written 'Technical-good') I studied my techs. in these 3 months to improve my techs. So i didn's sat for any exam (The truth was there was no off-campus in Kolkata in these 3 months, so i didn't got the opportunity- ;-). I saw the adv. of L n T in the newspapers so i applied, got call, cleared written n Tech and now i am here.
Lady 1: Between truth n Comfort which one will u choose n Why ?
Me: I will go for truth......coz i am always comfortable when i am truthful.
Lady 1: ready to go anywhere /
Me: yes mam ! No problems.
Lady 1: Any questions u wub like to ask ?
Me: What r the recent projects undergoing ?
Lady 1: data warehouse,.....
Me: Another mam ! What r the biggest challenges that i will b facing in L n T ?
Lady 1: Leaving home, working long hours,.......
I asked another question that i forgot.........
Lady 1 & 2 : Thank u Dibalok ! Plzz wait outside u can chk mail by tuesday or wait till today evening.
Me: Thank u mam.
I left.
The HR was cool for me. They fired some diff. questions but i was prepared. Always learn some eg. to show ur skills. Thay will surely ask u. Don't keep mum in Technical if u don't know. And answer all ques. in HR, if possible learn good answers for the common questions in HR. I had to wait for 6 hrs for the results to b out. At about 7:15PM the results were finally out. Me n Debolina were the only 2 from JIS. Sadly enough they hav no centre in Kolkata so i will hav to go to Pune,Mumbai,chennai,Bangalore, Mysore or navi Mumbai.
My tips to all my mates n juniors is that just keep on trying....u will surely succeed. Something is destined for all of u. i had a torried time these four months, but i kept on applying and trying. Just don't sit idle but keep looking for it. It may come by surprise just like that of me. I was a 'bekar' on Friday & n Saturday i got a job on L n T. I didn't even knew that i had L n T on Tuesday but within 4 days i got a job.
I thank each and everybody who directly or indirectly has helped me in my various difficult times.
