The pattern is : Section 1 : Verbal Time : 08 min No. of Q’s – 32
Section 2 : letters Time : 10 min No. of Q’s – 24
Section 3 : Numerical Time : 06 min No. of Q’s – 32
Section 4 : Reasoning Time : 20 min No. of Q’s – 20
*Section 5 : graphical Time : 35 min No. of Q’s – 7
The no. of questions may vary. Time keeping is very important.
Every section has start time and stop time.Once the time is out we
cannot go through the previous section.
Section 1 : VERBAL SECTION
This section had Synonyms
ex:
1:surveilance
A:guard B:watching C:roaming D:— E: —-
going thro’ GRE barrons will work.
Section 2 : letters
This had questions of type
1 : A D C G F ? which is the next in the series?
Ans : J
Before starting this section just write
A B C D—Z in the rough sheet when U R given time to read
instructions.
Section 3 : Numerical
This section is a rapid fire round .
We have to work it in mind not with paper.
Simple mathematics with Addition,Multiplication,Division.
Section 4 : Reasoning
This section has questions from aptitude
Distance,Proportion Very simple time keeping is important.
Section 5 : graphical
cutoff : 30/35
This section has 7 flowcharts with 5 Q’s each.
We have to read the question and then observe the flowchart.
Careful observation with logical thinking is enough.
There r empty cells in flowchart numbered 1 Thro’ 5
We have to guess which out of 5 choices exactly fits the cell
|==========| |===| |============== |
|select first | ——>| 1 |- —>| IS >4000 & <5000
|------>|
|==========| |===| |============== |
In question there are ranges given
IS salary of emp 1 : <4000 - type A
2 : >4000 & <5000 - type B
3 : > 5000 – type C
So in cell 1 the choice is
a : Is >4000
b :Is =4000
c : Is <4000 Ans
Tata Infotech Placement Papers - 24 Sept.
Tata infotech test on 24 sep.The test was quite easy but really the
time is not at all suficient.The pattern is as follows:
There were totally 5 sections.
1)Verbal ability: There were abt 36 GRE words.Time alloted is 8 min.
2)Alphabet series: There were abt 24 qns.Time alloted is 8 min.
3)Quantz: There were abt 36 qns.Time alloted is 6min!!!.U have to be
very very fast.U need not require any preparation.It was like:
0.9876*1.234
1.9876/35.9876
Only abt 3-4 qns were like RS agarwal type.So u better be fast in
simplification.
4) Reasoning:Very easy.24 qns.20 min.I solved all in this part & was
left with 2 more min.U need not have any preparation.
5) Flow charts: It was a bit different from usual flowcharts.
There were totally 7 qns.Each problem had 5 cells indicated with nos
1,2,3,4,5.Also, objective of each problem was given.U need to fill the
5 cells in each qns with appropriate answers.So totally u have to
attempt- 7qns*5cells in each=35 cells.time is 35 min.They told that there is
a sectional cut-off & it is very high.They leaked the flow chart
cutoff.U have to get 30 out of 35.

You have to fill the blank from the 5 options given against respective question number NOTE: These types of questions are not at all tough. You have to understand the logic and then it is very easy to fill the blanks. Some information is provided for getting to the answers. There will be blanks which have to be filled.

You select some balls from the blocks. If the ball chosen is red then you get one point. If the chosen ball is ball black and previous ball is red then you get two points. For winning u have to get seven points. No point for selecting consecutive balls of the same color. (3)Classify objects in class A, class B and scrap. for classing you have to do different tests such as weight test, material test etc. (4)There is production process in which action depends on temperature and pressure and we have some temperature and pressure controls.
