That's it friends.This is all i remember.Overall the paper was
easy.time is an important factor.
math section takes more time than logical so adjust your timing
accordingly.both the papers will be given
at the same time it's our choice to start with anysection.There seems
to be atlest three different sets of qpapers.
Quantitative aptitude by R.S.Aggarwal for aptitide,Barrons GRE or MBA
preparation material by R.S.Aggarwal for
Geometry are good to follow.
I did not clear the test,coz i did not get enough time to attempt
many q's in the math section.
My friend balaji cleard the test,he did 21 and 23 q's in each
section.Out of 4000 people appeared for the written test
600 were taken for the GD out of which around 60 were taken for the
interview.
Here is the info for GD
Group Discussion:
------------------
There were 10 members in each group.
1,2 or 3 were selected from each group.sometimes not even one was
selected.
My GD topic was "should beauty contest be banned in
Initially i spoke in favour of the beauty contest some colleges
against it.After some time
we were asked,like those who spoke in favour of beauty contest were
asked to speak against it and vice versa.
only one was selected in our group.i did well but i don't know why i
got missed out.
They look for good communication skill,how we work in a group and
also how good points we put forth.
Wishes for those who are going to take the Kanbay test.
With regards,
