now my friend's story begins.......

Capgemini came for a Campus recruitment drive on Jul 30th, 2008.

The criteria was: For BE: 60% in BE till date & no active backlogs.

We were asked to report at 8:30am and to our surprise, the recruiters appeared sharp at 8:30 am
(unlike other company people who are generally 3 or more hrs late).The most punctual comany to add..
Then started the selection procedure.

1) Presentation: All the appearing students were called in a hall to see a power point presentation about
the company. It was really interesting. We were formally introduced to the HR and her team. Its always
better to note important points form the presentation since it may be asked in the interview. We were
told about the package that we were going to get. It was 3 lakh CTC per annum. After the presentation,
we were asked to move in rooms for aptitude test.

2) Aptitude Test: Aptitude test was on paper and an objective type. The paper was divided into two
sections:
(i) Quantitative 25 questions.
(ii) Analytical 25 questions.

We were given 1hr to solve the paper. There was a sectional cut-off of 10 marks (it was told in advance)
and there was a provision of negative marking (0.25 marks deducted for every incorrect answer). I went
for around 15 questions from both the sections and managed to clear the aptitude test. Please note that
there were 3 sets of question papers and they contained very few common questions. But a lot of
questions (around 8-10) in each set were repeated questions (questions that had been asked in earlier campus interviews by Capgemini). So do refer to the previous years papers...So, I will suggest you togo
through all the questions by heart that I am giving with their answers.
