The recruitment process consisted of 3 rounds.
1. Written test
2. Group Discussion
3. Interview
1. Written test was of 30 minutes, 15 questions. +1 or -1/4 (negative correction was there)
The paper was of Logical Aptitude
Some questions were very easy like-
one-third of a number is also half. (Ans.3/2)
arranging the sentences in a sequence.
counting the number of a's, b's, i's etc in a sentence
decoding the codes.(some numbers and corresponding
letters for them will be given - very easy - new code
and old codes will be there)
5 ltr and 3 ltr, will be there 4 ltr has to be weighed.
Some questions were confusing. Don't attempt the questions if u r not sure.
I think for this paper, you can't have a book to refer. It depends on how u analyse the questions at that time. Be cool, don't get tensed.
2.Group Discussion for those who clear the test.
I got the topic-"Why is Indian Hockey limping"
You have to speak and tell something different( hightlight a point which is not made by other members of the group). I think they see leadership quality, Taking Initiative etc.
I came to know the two other topics, which were -
"UN's peace activities" and "America's war on Iraq".
If u clear this round u will move on to interview.
