Hi Friends
I am a BE student at Kavikulguru Institue of Technology and Science, Ramtek, Nagpur. First of all, let me tell you, I never knew anything about Capgemini before I started preparing for it. If you are appearing for Capgemini campus, then I would suggest you to prepare really well, because getting into this company will be a mega booster for your career.
I think you should know the following about Capgemini:
1. Capgemini is a Europe MNC (unlike indian borne MNCs like Infosys, Wipro and all), spread in 38 countries around the globe.
2. Its a 13.8 billion $ company. Companies like infosys, satyam, wipro are not even half of Capgemini. (TCS being 7.4 bn$)
3. Its called the gurus of consulting.
4. It stands 5th the Indian IT company rankings 2008.
5. It stands 4th in the best IT consulting services company in the recent world rankings by Forbes.
6. Capgemini is a very good company for the freshers, unlike other IT firms, Capgemini stands the last when it comes to irregular firings.
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 company 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 1 hr 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 to go through all the questions by heart.
Questions are the same from the link below:
I would suggest you to go through as many Capgemini placement papers as possible. The questions are very simple. Candidates those who managed to clear the aptitude test were called for GD session.
3) Group Discussion:
All the selected candidates were divided into 13 groups of 10 students each.
The GD was being conducted simultaneously in 2 rooms. Our group got the topic "LIVE-IN RELATIONSHIP" Clearing the GD round is easy. The coordinators were really very friendly and made all the candidates relaxed. In GD, you will have to show your participation. Do open up your mouth, but at the same time, see to it that you are not disrupting others and make out a valid point atleast try to be around the point and just not beat around the bushes n blabber anything. Dont loose confidence even if you are not a very good speaker. Just give strong points, this is what matters the most. After about 1 hr the list of candidates who had cleared the GD was displayed and they were asked to report in a room for further proceedings. 60 candidates cleared the GD round.
4) Personal Interview:
There were 3 interview panels consisting of 2 members each. The interviews were going on simultaneously. The interviewer are the different ppl here ... I mean not the one in GD round..one was Preeti mam.. main HR she was there for PI n the other sir for technical.. for interview just wanna say that be very firm with your answers showing full confidence. If you dont know any answer say to them... they just asked about the dead basics of C & C++, some of Software Engg, n yes if you have gone through any project be very clear with that coz they may be asking your contribution to that... Sir also gave me to write a logic for swapping,
Try to be confident n yes keep smiling... coz it may add extra effects...
Finally the results were out... n I was the 7th to be selected... there were total 19 selections.

It depends on your luck which interviewer will take the interview. My interview was completely HR. There was not a single technical question asked.

1. Tell me about urself, your family background, your achievements?
2. My 10th and 12th percentage?
3. Any back logs?

5. What are the things you liked about Capgemini in the presentation?

Hi Friends
This is Tej from GITAM. I got into Capgemini on 23 July 2008.
To get into Capgemini you need to first write a Written Test which consists of two sections
Quants 25 questions and Reasoning 25 questions.
There is no upper cut off and for qualifying to the next round you need to get minimum of 10 marks in each section. (1m for correct answer and -1/4 for wrong answer.)
Next we had a GD round where the topics can be chosen by the students or yet times given the HR.
the topics are quite simple like and elimination in GD was not that serious actually coz people who were not able to speak were given a chance by the HR himself and made to talk henceforth many of them got through GD.
Cell phones should be banned in college.
Congress vs BJP.
Infaltion and hike in petrol prices.
and many more all general topics.
Then HR round + TR round.
We never actually know whether we are gonna have a HR round or a TR round so be prepared for both coz ppl from both the sections are gonna come.
my HR was mainly TR and stress HR round. I answered most of the questions with ease and patience but I thought I was not doing that well coz at that point I never knew I was under stress interview.
I was asked many questions on different things and about friends.
I was continuously encountered with satires and various kinds of negative expressions.
This was just to test my patience and my reactions when under stress.
simply be calm, have a smile in your face. if you don't know something just tell him that you don't know it,
that'l help you a lot.
try to be as calm and cool as possible never loose hope when your interview is going on.
smile that is the only thing you can do when your under lots of stress.
Finally I was able to get into Capgemini.
over 600 people attempted written test and 150 got through written.
113 got through gd
and finally 70 got job.
Hi Friends
Im Rupa from Sri Venkateswara College of Engg. I m here to share my experience with you.. CAPGEMINI visited our campus on 7th of June 2008. There were totally three rounds..
1. APTITUDE TEST
2. GROUP DISCUSSION
3. HR cum TECH ROUND.
APTITUDE ROUND:
Aptitude is easy only. Just go through all the previous year Capgemini papers once.. questions may repeat again.. and just go through R.S. AGGARWAL for quants. Totally 50 questions in 1 hour.. But there is negative marking so please be careful when you answer the questions.. Dont mark the answers if you are not sure.. Think twice before you mark..
NOTE: you've to use only pens so be careful.. (shade it properly otherwise it'll be untidy). And negative marking is .25 mark... JUST BE CONFIDENT.. you can easily crack this round.. Totally 400 students appeared for aptitude but only 116 students got through aptitude round.. next is GD..
GROUP DISCUSSION:
After aptitude we all asked to split into groups.. And GD topics are given on the spot by HR's.. just chill.. Be CONFIDENT and Communicate well in GD.. At the same time you SHOULD NOT DOMINATE OTHERS.. Just come out with your ideas …JUST BE CONFIDENT…. From 116 students only 66 students were selected for next round..
HR cum TECH ROUND:
This round depends on the HR who comes in your panel… Some HR’S will ask tech questions also from your area of interest.. So be confident about the sub that you mentioned as your area of interest in your resume.. But I am very lucky.. The HR who came for our panel was so sweet.. only HR questions he asked us.
1) Tell about yourself
2) Hobbies
3) Role model
4) About your educational background..
5) Short term and long term goals…
This round will be simple only.. don't worry.. Don’t loose your patience…. DO UR BEST GOD WILL DO THE REST..
Finally out of 66 students they selected 47 from our college… I was the one among those 47 students…. I am very glad to be a part of this excellent company…. Capgemini visited our campus for the first time so it was excellent they recruited 47 students from our college… We are very proud to be an product of SVCE… and going to be a part of Capgemini..

I got placed in "CAPGEMINI" on 5th August 2008. It was a wonderful experience. That day first of all the company's representatives gave a Powerpoint Presentation, as it was the first software company to vsit our college all of us were very excited, I and some of my frnz had come with an attitude that just lets see what happens, we were not very sure, so it was like a rehearsel for us. the presentation was good, they told us abt their cmpny n all. You must check out a few details like CEO, locations, origin etc. about the cmpny, it helps. After ppt we were to sit for the written test. It was easy, there were 2 sections - Apti n LR. There were 3 different sets of the paper. Questions wre of the type specified in many of the papers on this site. 50 qs n 1 hr time. they had told us a cutt off of 10 qs in each section. I had solved 12-13 qs of apti and around 18-20 qs of LR. After about 1 n a hlf hr results were declard n to my surprise my name was there!! total 120 students were selectd. Next round GD. With my frnz help I prepared some current topics like "Nuclear deal", "terrorism" n a few abstract topics like "black" etc. they had divided 120 ppl in 10 grps each of 12 members. Then came my turn- n luckily I got the topic Nuclear deal. My panel gave us 2 min. to think abt the topic. as I had prpd it, so I decided anyhow I have to "initiate" the topic, as it yields most points and was just looking at them for start signal n as soon as I got it I just grabbed the opportunity n successfully initiated the topic - "gud afternoon all of u, I m so n so n our topic of discussion is ...." . One important thing that I learnt was - a persn must be confident while speaking, must raise the volume if he/she is not getting the chance to speak, becoz nobody is going to give u chance to speak, n at the same must listen to others attentively, make eye contact wid ur grp members it shows ur confidence n projects u as a facilitator who helps others to speak. I did all this. n also, if possible try to make urself comfortable with ur grp members if u know their names, before the discussion as it helps u to win frnz n hence good n familiar grp members to discuss with. neways, results were out n as I thought - I had a chance, I was one of the 3 students selectd from our grp of 12 students. total 74 students. So, I was in for the final round - the tech+ hr interview. It was really a mix of feelings- I was excited at the same tme a bit nervous abt the interview as I had not prpd well my technical subjects like Operating System, N/wking etc. n rest of the subjects like DS, C, C++ I had not touched them for the last week, but ya, I was done with my project works which I had done genuinely. So before goin to interview I had some 2 hrs, so I just brushed up some of the basic concepts n all. I was abt to be called on 27th no. but to my surprise, my name was called around 7:15 pm nearly 1/2 an hr earlier. I was not at all prepared, I just picked up my file from smwhere n a pen, lended by my frnd n rushed in. There were 4 panels. I was sent to a single person panel. His name was Mr. Shabreesh Menon. So I jst entered n wished him gudevning sir. He too wished me n askd me to sit. n he askd me the meaning of my name. H told. he then asked me to give me a brief intro of myself. I did. then he askd me abt my projects. I told. then askd me abt my fav subject. I told. nxt q was why did I chose to pursue MCA. I told. then he gave me a really easy puzzle. I answrd. he then askd why shall they choose me over others. I told hard work, sincere with an eg to support. then he finally askd me if I had any constraints regarding the place if I get placed. I said no. He then said ok, it was nice meeting u and did a handshake. I said - "same here sir" with a smile. and I left. I thought I had a chance, for the first time in the whole day it came to my mind- I dnt want to go home empty handed now. As I was the first one to be called of our class so evry one jst asked me abt the interview. finally, the results were abt to be out... Finally our (girls candidates, as it was getting late) results wre out - n my name was there!!! frm our class 7 girls n 4 bys have been selectd!!! Just, one thing be confident n take evry thing lightly, i.e dont be tensed n have faith in the god. n u will do it... Hi Friends This is somewhat related to the candidates who need guidance on MAINFRAMES. Mainframes paper is different from others... Actually there will be three rounds for you 1) WRITTEN TEST a) Technical b) Logical reasoning In Technical again there will be 5 sections on JCL, COBOL, CICS, DB2, VSAM. Each section carries 15 marks and you have to get atleast 9 marks in each section and there is a negative marking of 0.25 for each wrong answer. In Logical Reasoning there will be 50 questions. I dont know whether these section carries negative marking or not!!! 2) GROUP DISCUSSION In GD they give quite general topics like "WHY INDIA IS LAGGING IN OLYMPICS", "IS IT NECCESARY TO GO TO FOREIGN FOR EDUCATION". 3) INTERVIEW In interview they covered almost all topics. For me they asked so many questions on DB2 SQL and about my project. Some questions on physics also. Concentrate more on COBOL. why bcoz in our paper COBOL is some what tougher when compared to others. Gothrough the project before going to interview and also prepare your own feedback questions. The questions what you ask them will also give some impression. I asked these questions, (i) what about the training for the selected candidates? (ii) How this company will help the emplyoes to improve their technical stuff? (iii)In which areas I have to improve yet? thats it.... Results were anounced, the next day. I am very happy to say that I got placed in CAPGEMINI. Hi Friends This is omkar from D.M.C.E, Airoli, Navi Mumbai. Cap Gemini visited our college on 4th September 2008. Well let me tell u about myself, before CAPGEMINI I cleared 5 aptitude test, 1 GD, 4 TR and 3 HR and then too I was not selected. So u can think me as an experience candidate for placement) but I think my destiny was in cap Gemini. the overall procedure for the placement was as follows:- 1) U r required to fill an admit card for the online aptitude test. The online aptitude test consist of 2 sections of 50 questions. 1) Quantitative (1 to 25) 2) Logical (26 to 50). Time limit:-60 min. There was no negative marking. There was sectional cutoff. Quantities section consist of following question *) how many prime numbers r between 1 to 100? (ans :-25 (1 is not prime)) *) a problem on speed, distance, time like superman flies at 25mph, spiderman flies at15mph and phantom take 2 hrs to fly from NY to DC. If speed of spiderman is twice that of phantom and distance between NY to DC is same as distance between NY to Washington (I don't remember it well) there where couple of question like *) what is the distance between NY and DC? *) how long will superman take to travel from dc to Washington and back? *) I donno remember the 3rd ? *) the largest no between (7)-(2),(3)+(4),2*(2),6+(2)(X)=square root of X *) Arrange some numbers in descending order? If u want to crack quantitative section u have to do following section well ;- 1-numbers (5 question) 2-average(2) 3-speed, distance(5) 4-simple compound interest(2) 5-profit and loss(3) 6-progression (2) Logical Section consist of following question;- *) a problem on if it rains on Wednesday it will rain on Friday and so on and 5 questions based on the data (the question on the data were scattered all around the paper i.e 1st question was no 26,2nd was no 30,3rd was 32,4th was 36,and 5th was 38) (easy) *) a problem on playground i.e A,B,C,D want to play on ground P,Q,R,S.A plays on p and Q. B on Q & R. C on Q and S.5 question where asked on the data (easy) *) a 5 question on relation i.e A is D mom. B is E mom. F is C son. B is G aunt(not sure). And some more data was given Let me tell u, the logical question was much easy than quantitative. So first attempt logical and then quantitative. don't go for solving all question of logical; solve 15 questions of logical then go for quantitative since quantitative is difficult and there was sectional cut off. Keep last 5 minutes for guessing the answers of the remaining question. In our college out of 80, 20 was selected for interview (since less students qualified, they cancelled the GD section and directly took the interview) Well there were 2 interviews (TR and HR) My TR interview went like this I - good evening sir. Interviewer - good evening Omkar. how was ur day? I - fine sir ? Interviewer:- well Omkar tell me about you. I - (this is the main part. mention ur name, birth date, birth place, academic's 10th, 12th B.E, the order of mentioning should be ascending, don't directly start from ur B.E, also mention ur hobbies, which u pursued in 10, 12 and B.E, also mention achievement if any) Interviewer - well do u have any idea about DBMS (if u r comp or IT u should know what it is?) I - yes. Interviewer - can u develop database relation schema for a movie theatre (since I mention my hobby as WATCHING MOVIES) I - I did as he told; he in fact helped me to develop the database. Interviewer - what do u mean by normalization? I - explained with an example and also told about 1NF, 2NF, 3NF etc Interviewer - any liking for programming languages? I - 'C' programming language. Interviewer - he asked me to write a program (only logic, no emphasis on syntax) for Fibonacci series (really a piece of cake) Interviewer - asked me about my project work for current year? I - explained about my project in detailed (he was really impressed by my presentation of project). Interviewer - asked question about my project? Interviewer - do u have any question? I - sir, can u give me details of the bond we have to sign while joining? Interviewer - explained? Interviewer - well Omkar thank u? (he got up for shaking hand, tat's a sign u r on right track, I left the room and after some time I got call for HR interview. the trick for clearing TR is be honest for most times, if u donno know some answer, tell him frankly tat "u can't recollect it", if u have some knowledge tell him what u know about it and last add "tats all I can remember, sir") My HR Interview went like this:- Interviewer:-u may sit Omkar. I - thank u sir. Interviewer - tell me about ur self? I - same as above Interviewer - what about ur family background? I - told him. Interviewer - which technology r u aiming for career and why? I - sir, JAVA becoz it's an ever expanding, branching language, like JSP, JAVA net beans, JAKARTA STRUTS etc (added something about the features about JAVA) Interviewer - where do u see ur self 5 years from now? I - leading a group of 5-10 people in an I.T firm probably a project leader. Interviewer - do u know any recent news about the booming IT sector? (since I mentioned my hobby as newspaper reading) I - no sir my special liking is for world politics, and technology. sir not really interested in business. Interviewer- ok. any problem shifting to other locations? I - no. Interviewer - well thank u omkar ? I - thank u sir. I waited for 2 hours outside and finally 7 people went for HR interview (I was one of them) out of 20 selected they told me that results of those who gave HR will be out next day the rest r rejected. while rest went home dejected I was nervous whether I will be selected or not. on next day results were out (they mailed the result to our training and placement officer) out of 7, 4 were selected and I was one of them! finally! Hi Friends I m Sanjeet Sinha, a final year student of PCEA, Nagpur. I'm here to share my experience of the selection procedure conducted by CAPGEMINI on 29th july, 2008. We had to face 3 rounds- (a) Aptitude Test (b) Group Discussion (c) Personal interview(Tech+HR) There was 50 questions in the Aptitude test :: 25 questions on Quantitative & other 25 questions were Logical analysis. The questions were easy but a little time consuming. Mainly the questions were from-time and dist, profit and loss, speed and distance, and the logical part was of general common sense we can practice it from R.S.Agarwal. As i told u that the papers were easy but time consuming hence Time management was the key part for solving the paper and also look for the previous year questions. They declared a cut off of 10 marks from each sec, so it was 20 in total. About 400 students appeared for the aptitude, out of which 129 cleared the aptitude test including me. The next round was GD. A group of 10 studnts were made. It was a wonderful experience to all of us. we got the topic "should youth enter into the politics". It was a good topic to discuss and it happened the same. we had a good discussion of the topic and almost each of the member contributed more or less at their best. And out of 9 students from our group, 5 including me were selected. In total they selected 63 candidate for final round i,e the personal interview. The PI included both tecnical as well as HR. In tech they asked que from the branch u belonged and some basic knowlege of C language. After a long time I was called for the PI. It was almost 9 of the evening, I entered the cabin. I know what's the amount of pressure a candidate have on him, whenever he appears for an interview, & how was the feelings of being rejected one after another times. It was nice to giving an interview in a friendly atmosphere they created. I was asked to tell about myself, the respected madam who was taking my interview asked me from the points I mentioned to tell about myself. They asked me about the aptitute test and which part I felt easy?. I replied that both parts were good but I cud attempt more que from quanti. Next I was asked to tell my weakness and stengths. Next I was asked that although u r from mech engg. then why do want to join IT sector, I replied that due to my less marks in entrance test I cudn't get diff branch thogh I had a lot of interest in computers from the very beginning... Next I was asked if i had any query.. I replied that if I m selected wat more courses shud I had to study before joining the company? Next they asked me about my place of preferences?... I peplied that place dosen't matter for me, the quality which I provide to the company that matters much for me.. I want to share something with you, it was the 8th interview, I was appeared for. Previously I've rejected 7 times, but still I didn't give up. I want to say you people must have confidence upon yourself, that's the thing with which you can win, never become hopeless. So please try to be confident, always try to answer promptly, don't go for any false representation, as it reflects on your expression,& have faith on yourself---that's the key to crack. Don't get me wrong, you may have feel that I'm giving too many advises that are useless, but I'm telling you, whatever I've said here, all are my own experiences. I personally believe that "failure is tha pillar of success", & YES, I'VE PROVED IT BY MYSELF, I'VE CRACKED CAPGEMINI, the renowned IT company in the industry. The final result listed 41 candidates who are finally selected, & I feel very proud to be 1 of those 41. Hi Friends first of all I thank all the members of this forum for posting such useful messages, which helped me a lot and following is my interview pattern which held in Anna University, Coimbatore on 15th August Basically there were three rounds 1. Written 2. GD 3. Tech+HR Written * 2 sections were there (25 Apps + 25 Verbal) * its very easy one, but the problem is negative marking (-0.25). * Go through all the previous papers * dont attend everything, there is maximum cut off I think so * its better to get between 25-30 * its an elimination round. nearly 1600 ppls only 150 are shortlisted. GD * its not a problem, if u have basic communcation skill. * my gd topic was.. why is america dominating the world, and my frnd's topics were Is senior players required in indian cricket team, IT vs non-IT. (be updated with current events). * its not an elimination round, out of 150 nearly 110 were selected. TECH+HR * be frank, don try to confuse, be clear with basic concepts of IT and some simple programs (swap, palindrome, string reverse.....). * for me it lasts for 30 minutes. HR was very friendly. * if u donno the answer say him frankly, be bold and confident. * u can expect basic qns like temme abt urslf, y capgemini, strength and weakness. * i was asked to answer this qn "u are a team leader, ur project deadline is today and u r not able to finish it, at this situation wat will u do ?" * dress neatly, shave ur beard, be professional. * basic communication skill is the main aspect here. * out of 110->80 were selected finally.
p.s: since they need 10,000+ professionals by 2010, if u clear the written and u hv a basic tech & comm skil, there is no doubt that u r an employee of CG.

like organisation of events like sports & freshers meet to have healthy interaction among them
---> made the team to run on my words & ultimately gaining trust from them to my point

One more Main thing is that THEY WANT PEOPLE HAVING FIRST CLASS EVEN IF YOU CLEAR ALL ROUNDS THEN ALSO THEY WILL NOT SELECT EVEN IF YOU ARE TOO GOOD IN TECHICAL OR WHATEVER.
I think this will help you and wish you all the best.
Hi Friends
My name is Keyur. I recently appeared for Capgemini, it is a very good company. they are giving a package of 2.73lac. On 19th we had the aptitude test, then on 20th we had a GD round. After that there is technical cum HR round.
Aptitude test was of 1hr online test and it consists of 25 questions in analytical section and 25 questions in logical section.
Analytical section was tough and is very time consuming. u can refer R.S.Agrawal quantitive for this section. do that book very seriously try to give more stress on speed, distance, time, ages, simplification, permutation and combination chapters. but note that u dond waste much time in this section dont give more then 35 min to this section.
Logical is quite easy and u can score good points in this section. u can refer (R.S.Agrawal logical reasoning) for this section. do the puzzle test and data sufficiency chapters very perfectly bcoz most of the questions were from this 2 chapters. I think doing only this 2 chapters is enough.
I was not able to clear the apti and the cut off was not disclosed. may be it was around 30 right questions.
Next round was GD round many of my friends cleared it and went for tech cum HR round.

Hi Friends
I'm Aniruddha Ghosh, a 3rd year engineering student of Bengal Institute of Technology, Kolkata. I'm here to share my xperience of the capussing procedure conducted by CAPGEMINI on 24th April 2007.
We had to face 4 rounds-
a) Aptitude Test
b) Group Discussion
c) Technical Interview
d) HR interview
There was 50 questions in the aptitude test, 25 questions on quantitative & other 25 questions were logical analysis. There was no such questions either on verbal or technical ability. The questions were standard, not very easy, but not at all tough, a little bit time-taking.
Mainly the quanti questions were on basic--profit & loss, interest, fractions, speed...etc.The logical questions were on common sense, very ordinary logical questions followed by any book like R.S.Agarwal. The time management is the main key to solve the paper as per my point of view.
Total 116 candidates appeared for aptitude test, only 45 cleared the aptitude test including me.
The next round was GD. It was a wonderful experience to all of us. We have given "Lage raho Munnabhai---what's the social impact of that well admired movie". It was a very good topic to discuss, nearly all of us contribute more or less as their level best. I initiated the GD & my friends also spoke well. 9 people out of 11 were selected from our group.
In total they selected 36 candidates for technical interview. The moderator of our group was very friendly & he gave us enough time to discuss. Before starting the GD he said that--"nothing to worry about, it's just a formal discussion", which was a big relief to all of us.
In technical Interview they asked very basic questions from our semester subjects. Specially C, DS, DBMS, Networking, OS, OOP & Microprocessor. CS & IT people please make urself comfortable with your departmental subjects, if possible Please go through Microprocessor also. They ask from here also. As I'm a student of IT department, I'm giving u the brief of my interview, but I've heard from my friends of ECE department, they were asked from their departmental subjects also.
I was asked to tell the respected interviewer the names of my past 2 semester's subjects. He listened those carefully & asked questions from those subjects, I've mentioned earlier. Some questions was like---basic features of OOP-discuss, normalization, OS handling, basic questions on OS, OSI layer-little discussion, link lists, sorting & last but not the least I was asked to write the algo of Quicksort & some other questions also there, that I can't remember now. But over all there was no such contradictory questions, they never counter with your answer.
There were only 18 candidates including me cleared the technical round.
After some time I was called for HR interview. It was nice to giving an interview in a friendly atmosphere they created. I was asked to tell about myself, the respected madam who was taking my interview asked me from the points I mentioned to tell about myself. She asked me ---"what do u mean by optimism?", "how can you prove that you are optimistic?", "what do u know about software industry?", strengths, weaknesses. Finally asked me to question her about my confusions if any.
I want to share something with you, it was the 6th interview, I was appeared for. Previously I've rejected 5 times, but still I didn't give up. I want to say you people must have confidence upon yourself, that's the thing with which you can win, never become hopeless. I know what's the amount of pressure a candidate have on him, whenever he appears for an interview & how was the feelings of being rejected one after another times.
So please try to be confident, always try to answer promptly, don't go for any false representation, as it reflects on your expression & have faith on yourself---that's the key to crack.
The final result listed only 9 candidates who are finally selected & I feel very proud to be 1 of those 9.

S L I D E
(-) D E A N
---------------------------------
3 6 5 1
each of 7 digits from 1,2,3,4,5,6 & 9 is represented by letter in the subtraction of problem above.
Q7. (a) Which letter is represented by the number "3"
Solution:-
3 6 5 1
(+) D E A N
-----------------------------------
S L I D E
It is given in the question that each of 7 digits 1,2,3,4,5, 6 & 9 is represented by a. Different letter in the above problem it is clear that 3+D+carry [If any] is equal to SL. But as it is clear that highest sum of there given no. can be (9+6+1)=16 so S = 1
Now it is also clear that D is either 6 or 9 but D cannot be 6, because in that case L, is equal to 0, which is not possible.
So D = 9
Now from that it is clear that L Letter is either 2 or 3 & A=4, It is also clear that E cannot be equal to 5,4,3,2,1
So E=6
Now we can help of above conclusions.
Ans. to question no.
(a) = L
(b) Which letter is represented by the no "5" ? Ans (b) N
(c) Which no is presented by the letter "E" ? Ans. (d) 6
(d) Which letter is presented by the no "6" Ans. E

Hi Friends
This is Samrat here.. I am sharing my experiences abt the CAPGEMINI recruitment held at KIIT, Bhubaneswar on 4th June.
As u guys would b knowing this year the test pattern of CAPGEMINI is Aptitude(25) and Reasoning(25).. Then followed by GD, Technical (mainly HR based and puzzles) and HR..
The apti part was very easy. actually questions are being repeated. The same question that came in BIT, Kolkata came here.. So I would suggest all the aspirants to solve the papers given properly. In our college 300 students sat for the paper. Out of it 120 cleared written. Then came the GD part..
Topics like -East or West which is the land of opportunities and Gandhigiri or Dadagiri were given. In our college we had 50 B.Tech and 70 MCA 's qulaified for written... There were 5 B.Tech GD group and 7 MCA groups each consisting of 10. So out of it 51 cleared GD.. My topic was Lagey Raho Munnabhai and its impact in modern days. I cleared GD..
Then came the Technical or Management round.. In this round either you would be asked some HR queestions like Tell Me about Yourself or some cases would be given to you and you have to get the best possible answers.. They gave me a puzzle from Shakuntala Devi and told me to complete it in 30 secs. I confidently did it in 20 secs. And they would also be askin you abt ur Hobbies and details on them.. Then I was told to wait outside for HR round..
Friends remember in Capgemini every person has to undergo thru TECH and HR.. They evaluate you on your total performance starting from written marks, GD, Tech qualities and HR...
Then in my HR round i had to face the HR Head of Kolkata--VANDANA mam. She asked me on why I joined Capgemini inspite of there being so many big companies like TCS, CTS, etc.
Then asked abt my projects in details.. Then asked me on my hobbies, Extracurricular activities.. A situation was given to me how I should overcome it with the best possible outcomes. like that..and then asked questions like Why i joined KIIT, Bbsr apart from having joined in an Engineering college in Kolkata (I am from KOL so shes asked this).. Like this..i was so confident with the answers that my HR was pleased.. It was a 20 mins Interview.. Then she finally asked me if I have any questions for her. I asked her some like what a company expects from the freshers and wat subject a fresher should be acquainted with properly b4 joining a company and like dat.. Then she told me it was over and I had to wait outside for results. Finally when results came out at 12 am ..i was lucky to find my name in the 5th call... What they said was they marked a person totally starting from Written GD, Tech, HR..mine was the 5th rank out of the 300.. After having failed to even clear the written in WIPRO, MINDTREE, L&T INFOTECH I was really very depressed and now i ve cleared CAPGEMINI --a MNC wow!!
I really bleive to get recruited u really need 70 percent luck.. They offered package of 2.75 but it woudl be revised to 3.3 lacs/annum...
Hi Friends
We had Capgemini as ON Campus at our college. It was scheduled to start by 2:30 but took some more time to start off. The basic thing was that it was an ONLINE TEST. The same day CapGemini had been to CVRCE where they had written test in the form of pen and paper.
We were given a registration no and that regn no was our id and password to login. they had a fake test for 5 min to make the students acquainted with their question pattern. after that the test began. Believe me friends maximum of the questions were repeated frm the last questions papers which are quoted on this web site. Not even a single data had changed. maximum of the questions were from the previous papers. Aptitude part was easy and RS Aggrawal is more than sufficient. reasoning part demanded the maximum time and one should be tricky in attending those coz this part asks for most of the time. total were 50 questions which were to be attended in 60 min. Time counter was running on computer, so a single more second could not be availed. as soon as 1 hour will be reached then immediately the page will be refreshed and the current profile will be logged out. So please be time efficient.

HR
Aptitude test was the main elimination round. Out of 116 candidates 44 was selected. The topic for our GD was "The present status of our cricket team". The GD round went very well and all 12 members were selected.
The technical was a bit tough. Be prepared with one of your favorite subject. Questions were from C, C++, DBMS, O.S.
EX:
Define pointer.
What is Null pointer?
Algo for bobble sort, binary search
Basic questions of C++. like class, polymorphism...

HR ques are also asked in this round.
Finally HR round which is very easy. 18 candidates cleared technical out of which 9 were selected. The results were declared on 15th May. so all had to wait with great tention.

CAPGEMINI PLACEMENT PAPER ON 5th August 2008 (Pattern)
Hello all job aspirants, i am charchika shukla, student of NIT Raipur.I got placed in "CAPGEMINI" on 5th August 2008.It was a wonderful experience.
That day first of all the company's representatives gave a Powerpoint Presentation of their company , as it was the first software company to vsit our college all of us were very excited , i and some of my frnz had come with an attitude that just lets see what happens,we were not very sure, so it was like a rehearsel for us. the presentation was good,they told us abt their cmpny n all.You must check out a few details like CEO,locations,origin etc. about the cmpny,it helps.
After ppt we were to sit for the written test.it was easy , there were 2 sections - apti n LR. there were 3 different sets of the paper.questions wre of the type specified in many of the papers on this site.50 qs n 1 hr time.they had told us a cutt off of 10 qs in each section.i had solved 12-13 qs of apti and around 18-20 qs of LR. i had given the test with " lets see what happens" hope., after about 1 n a hlf hr results were declard n to my surprise my name was there!! total 120 students were selectd .i thought " oh my god !i will have to prepare for next round GD" as i had not prpd for it at all.so with my frnz help i prepared some current topics like "Nuclear deal" , "terrorism" n a few abstract topics like "black" etc. they had divided 120 ppl in 10 grps each of 12 members.
Then came my turn- n luckily i got the topic Nuclear deal.my panel gave us 2 min. to think abt the topic.as i had prpd it ,so i decided anyhow i have to "initiate" the topic, as it yields most points and was just looking at them for start signal n as soon as i got it i just grabbed the opportunity n successfully initiated the topic - "gudafternoon all of u,i m so n so n our topic of discussion is ...." . one important thing that i learnt was - a persn must be confident while speaking, must raise the volume if he/she is not getting the chance to speak, becoz nobody is going to give u chance to speak , n at the same must listen to others attentively, make eye contact wid ur grp members it shows ur confidence n projects u as a facilitator who helps others to speak. i did all this. n also , if possible try to make urself comfortable with ur grp members if u know their names, before the discussion as it helps u to win frnz n hence good n familiar grp members to discuss with.
So , i was in for the final round - the tech+ hr interview. it was really a mix of feelings- i was excited at the same tme a bit nervous abt the interview as i had not prpd well my technical subjects like Operating System, N/wking etc. n rest of the subjects like DS,C,C++ i had not touched them for the last week , but ya , i was done with my project works which i had done genuinely. so before goin to interview i had some 2 hrs , so i just brushed up some of the basic concepts n all .
I was abt to be called on 27 th no. but to my surprise, my name was called around 7:15 pm nearly 1/2 an hr earlier.i was not at all prepared , i just picked up my file from smwhere n a pen, lended by my frnd n rushed in.
There were 4 panels . I was sent to a single person panel.His name was Mr. Shabreesh Menon.
So i jst entered n wished him gudevning sir.he too wished me n askd me to sit.n he askd me the meaning of my name. i told.he then asked me to give me a brief intro of myself.i did. then he askd me abt my projects.i told. then askd me abt my fav subject.i told. nxt q was why did i chose to pursue MCA.i told. then he gave me a really easy puzzle.i answrd.he then askd why shall they choose me over others.i told hard work,sincere with an eg to support.then he finally askd me if i had any constraints regarding the place if i get placed.i said no.
He then said ok,it was nice meeting u and did a handshake.i said - "same here sir"with a smile. and i left.
I thought i had a chance,for the first time in the whole day it came to my mind- i dnt want to go home empty handed now. as i was the first one t be called of our class so evry one jst asked me abt the interview.finally, the results were abt to be out
CAPGEMINI PLACEMENT PAPER ON 4th SEPTEMBER 2008 (Pattern)
This is omkar from D.M.C.E ,airoli, navi Mumbai. Cap Gemini visited our college on 4th September 2008.well let me tell u about myself, before CAPGEMINI I cleared 5 aptitude test ,1 GD ,4 TR and 3 HR and then too I was not selected. So u can think me as an experience candidate for placement) but I think my destiny was in cap Gemini . the overall procedure for the placement was as follows:-
The online aptitude test consist of 2 sections of 50 questions.
1) Quantitative (1 to 25)
2) Logical (26 to 50).
Time limit:-60 min.
There was no negative marking. There was sectional cutoff.
Quantities section : consist of following question
*) how many prime numbers r between 1 to 100? (ans :-25 (1 is not prime))
*)a problem on speed ,distance, time like superman flies at 25mph, spiderman flies at15mph and phantom take 2 hrs to fly from NY to DC. If speed of spiderman is twice that of phantom .and distance between NY to DC is same as distance between NY to Washington (I don't remember it well) there where couple of question like
*) what is the distance between NY and DC?
*) how long will superman take to travel from dc to Washington and back?
*) I donno remember the 3rd ?
*)the largest no between (7)-(2),(3)+(4),2*(2),6+(2)(X)=square root of X
*)Arrange some numbers in descending order?
I will tell u guys if u want to crack quantitative section u have to do following section well ;-
1-numbers (5 question)
2-average(2)
3-speed ,distance(5)
4-simple compound interest(2)
5-profit and loss(3)
6-progression (2)
Logical section : consist of following question;-
*)a problem on if it rains on Wednesday it will rain on Friday and so on and 5 questions based on the data (the question on the data were scattered all around the paper i.e 1st question was no 26,2nd was no 30,3rd was 32,4th was 36,and 5th was 38) (easy)
*)a problem on playground i.e A,B,C,D want to play on ground P,Q,R,S.A plays on p and Q. B on Q & R. C on Q and S.5 question where asked on the data (easy)
*)a 5 question on relation i.e A is D mom. B is E mom. F is C son. B is G aunt(not sure).
And some more data was given Let me tell u friends the logical question was much easy than quantitative .so first attempt logical and then quantitative. don't go for solving all question of logical solve 15 questions of logical then go for quantitative since quantitative is difficult and there was sectional cut off. Keep last 5 minutes for guessing the answers of the remaining question.
In our college out of 80, 20 was selected for interview (since less student qualified, they cancelled the GD section and directly took the interview)
Well there were 2 interviews (TR and HR) My HR interview went like this

Q7. (a) Which letter is represented by the number "3
Ans : Solution:-
3 6 5 1
(+) D E A N
-----------------------------------
S L I D E
It is given in the question that each of 7 digits 1,2,3,4,5, 6 & 9 is represented by a. Different letter in the above problem it is clear that 3+D+carry [If any] is equal to SL. But as it is clear that highest sum of there given no. can be (9+6+1)=16 so S = 1
Now it is also clear that D is either 6 or 9 but D cannot be 6, because in that case L, is equal to 0, which is not possible.
So D = 9
Now from that it is clear that L Letter is either 2 or 3 & A=4, It is also clear that E cannot be equal to 5,4,3,2,1
So E=6
Now we can help of above conclusions.
Ans. to question no.
(a) = L

Q7. (a) Which letter is represented by the number "3
Ans : Solution:-
3 6 5 1
(+) D E A N
S L I D E
It is given in the question that each of 7 digits 1,2,3,4,5, 6 & 9 is represented by a. Different letter in the above problem it is clear that 3+D+carry [If any] is equal to SL. But as it is clear that highest sum of there given no. can be (9+6+1)=16 so S = 1
Now it is also clear that D is either 6 or 9 but D cannot be 6, because in that case L, is equal to 0, which is not possible.
So D = 9
Now from that it is clear that L Letter is either 2 or 3 & A=4, It is also clear that E cannot be equal to 5,4,3,2,1
So E=6
Now we can help of above conclusions.
Ans. to question no.
(a) = L

Paper : Capgemini Latest Job Interview Placement Paper At Nagpur
Hi Capgemini Aspirants,
I am a MCA student at G.H. Raisoni Institute of Information Technology, Nagpur. First of all, let me tell you, I never knew anything about Capgemini before I started preparing for it. If you are appearing for Capgemini campus, then I would suggest you to prepare really well, because getting into this company will be a booster for your career.
I think you should know the following about Capgemini:
1. Capgemini is a Europe multinational (unlike indian borne MNCs like Infosys, Wipro and all), spread in 38 countries around the globe.
2. Its a 13.8 billion $ company. Companies like infosys,satyam,wipro are not even half of Capgemini.(TCS being 7.4 bn$)
3. Its called the gurus of consulting .
4. It stands 5th the Indian IT company rankings 2008.
5. It stands 4th in the best IT consulting services company in the recent world rankings by Forbes.
6. Capgemini is a very good company for the freshers, unlike other IT firms ,Capgemini stands the last when it comes to irregular firings. Capgemini came for a
Campus recruitment drive on Jul 29th, 2008. It was a closed campus, comprising of two colleges (G.H. Raisoni and PCEA). Around 500 (BE + MCA) students appeared for the campus.
The criteria was:
1. For BE: 60% in BE till date & no active backlogs.
2. For MCA: 60% in MCA 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). 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). I think this helps a lot.
So, I will suggest you to mug up all the questions by heart that I am giving with their answers.

None of the above I would suggest you to go through as many Capgemini placement papers as possible. The questions are very simple. Even if you are not very good at aptitude, you can make it. Just be cool and imply your brain. After the aptitude test, the results were displayed after around 2 hrs. 129 candidates managed to clear the aptitude test and were called for GD session.
3) Group Discussion:
All the selected candidates were divided into 13 groups of 10 students each.
The GD was being conducted simultaneously in 3 rooms. Our group got the topic "Should GDs be included in selection procedures?" Clearing the GD round is easy. The coordinators were really very friendly and made all the candidates relaxed. In GD, you will have to show your participation. Do open up your mouth, but at the same time, see to it that you are not disrupting others. Dont loose confidence even if you are not a very good speaker. Just give strong points, thisz what matters the most. After about 1hr the list of candidates who had cleared the GD was displayed and they were asked to report in a room for further proceedings. 60 candidates cleared the GD round.
4) Personal Interview:
There were 3 interview panels consisting of 2 members each. The interviews were going on simultaneously. I was the third one to be called.
Me: Good evening Sir, Ma'am.
Interviewers: GE, please sit. How was ur day?
Me: Great. We had pretty good time, selection procedure was punctal.
Int: But the guy before you was saying that he is too much tired and having head ache..?
Me: It was a good day for me Sir, I am used to such schedule. (Actually they were testing if the candidate can spend long working hrs or not. Please be very positive in your answers.)
Int: How was the aptitude test.
Me: It was good. Not very tough.
Iv: Is it so because you guys got a lot of chance to cheat and ask answers from your friends?
Me: No Sir, I didnt seek anybody else's help and did all my paper of my own. If you wish, I am ready to solve it all again in front of you.
Int: (very happy) Very Good. I like your confidence. (It was a direct fire. Keep cool under such conditions and try to give good and positive answers that show your confidence against such questions.) Then I was asked technical questions: whats printf, scanf in C? Was asked to write a program that sorts both a character array as well as an integer array. (I wrote the logic) What is type casting? Memory taken by diff data-types etc. Being a MCA candidate, although I was well prepered for DBMS, Operating System, Data Structures questions, I was seldomly asked about them. Then the lady asked me a question from the aptitude paper and asked me to solve it (she didnt give me the full data).
I told her I need more data to solve it. She insisted that it can be solved with that much data only but I knew it wasnt so, so I kept sticking to my point. Then she asked me a couple of puzzles. I dont know how I performed, but I think they see your approach to solving the problem. Further, the gentleman asked me about my hobbies, my family etc.
We discussed arout 2-3 minutes about my father's work (an armyman). Finally, they asked me for my CV, a photograph, photo-copies of all my marksheets from Std 10th till MCA. Me: It was a very great time with you Sir. Iv: Same here Amit. Good Luck. My interview ran for about 30 minutes. Be cool and confident during the interview. If you are confident and have good communication skills, there are strong chances that you may be selected.
All the interviews were over by 10:15pm and we waited very eagerly for the results. We were asked to assemble in a room where the HR, Preety Ma'am came on the stage to announce the name of the selected candidates. There was a huge round of aplause for ever name being announced. To my good luck, I was also one of the selected guys. A total of 41 candidates were selected. We were then asked to maintain our aggregate (in BE or MCA) to a 60% at the time of joining failing which, we wont be accepted.

Capgemini Placement Papper Pattern
Capgemini has generally 2-3 sets of question booklets but still try to appear in the second batch. Paper has 3 sections.
1.Quantitative 25 ques
2. Analytical 30 ques
3. Verbal ques 25 ques
The most easy section is the verbal section. Just prepare Barrons well. One or the other unsolved test papers of Barron's are replicated as it is in the papers...that means antonyms, synonyms, sentence correction .. fill in the blanks words like gaffe, contentious, altrustic, belligerent.... Quantative is so so ..i mean 60 % is easy and rest is a bit tough...go thru the geometric theorms, formulas, quadriatic and linera section well.
Analytical is the most tricker one..it's very tempting bcoz 1 paragraph may fetch you 4 correct answers...puzzles..all puzzles like 1 speaks french b speaks chinesse and english..c speaks french and ... so arrange them in a comfortable position so that they can converse with each other...other question's like a heavier then b, m heavier then i and j , k lighter then d who is d heaviest ?? so on..... 15 question's are easy but very time consuming and rest questions although seem to be easy but try avoiding to attempt all questions coz that will eat up all your time unless you are very good at analytical.....
Total questions 80
Total time 90 min's
NO UPPER CUT OFF
They say that there is no sectional cut off but still they have minimum 5 5 8 questions..

Hi Friends
I am a BE student at Kavikulguru Institue of Technology and Science, Ramtek, Nagpur. First of all, let me tell you, I never knew anything about Capgemini before I started preparing for it. If you are appearing for Capgemini campus, then I would suggest you to prepare really well, because getting into this company will be a mega booster for your career.
I think you should know the following about Capgemini:
1. Capgemini is a Europe MNC (unlike indian borne MNCs like Infosys, Wipro and all), spread in 38 countries around the globe.
2. Its a 13.8 billion $ company. Companies like infosys, satyam, wipro are not even half of Capgemini. (TCS being 7.4 bn$)
3. Its called the gurus of consulting.
4. It stands 5th the Indian IT company rankings 2008.
5. It stands 4th in the best IT consulting services company in the recent world rankings by Forbes.
6. Capgemini is a very good company for the freshers, unlike other IT firms, Capgemini stands the last when it comes to irregular firings.
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 company 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 1 hr 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 to go through all the questions by heart.
Questions are the same from the link below:
I would suggest you to go through as many Capgemini placement papers as possible. The questions are very simple. Candidates those who managed to clear the aptitude test were called for GD session.
3) Group Discussion:
All the selected candidates were divided into 13 groups of 10 students each.
The GD was being conducted simultaneously in 2 rooms. Our group got the topic "LIVE-IN RELATIONSHIP" Clearing the GD round is easy. The coordinators were really very friendly and made all the candidates relaxed. In GD, you will have to show your participation. Do open up your mouth, but at the same time, see to it that you are not disrupting others and make out a valid point atleast try to be around the point and just not beat around the bushes n blabber anything. Dont loose confidence even if you are not a very good speaker. Just give strong points, this is what matters the most. After about 1 hr the list of candidates who had cleared the GD was displayed and they were asked to report in a room for further proceedings. 60 candidates cleared the GD round.
4) Personal Interview:
There were 3 interview panels consisting of 2 members each. The interviews were going on simultaneously. The interviewer are the different ppl here ... I mean not the one in GD round..one was Preeti mam.. main HR she was there for PI n the other sir for technical.. for interview just wanna say that be very firm with your answers showing full confidence. If you dont know any answer say to them... they just asked about the dead basics of C & C++, some of Software Engg, n yes if you have gone through any project be very clear with that coz they may be asking your contribution to that... Sir also gave me to write a logic for swapping,
Try to be confident n yes keep smiling... coz it may add extra effects...
Finally the results were out... n I was the 7th to be selected... there were total 19 selections.
Hi Friends

Hi Friends
This is Tej from GITAM. I got into Capgemini on 23 July 2008.
To get into Capgemini you need to first write a Written Test which consists of two sections
Quants 25 questions and Reasoning 25 questions.
There is no upper cut off and for qualifying to the next round you need to get minimum of 10 marks in each section. (1m for correct answer and -1/4 for wrong answer.)
Next we had a GD round where the topics can be chosen by the students or yet times given the HR.
the topics are quite simple like and elimination in GD was not that serious actually coz people who were not able to speak were given a chance by the HR himself and made to talk henceforth many of them got through GD.
Cell phones should be banned in college.
Congress vs BJP.
Infaltion and hike in petrol prices.
and many more all general topics.
Then HR round + TR round.
We never actually know whether we are gonna have a HR round or a TR round so be prepared for both coz ppl from both the sections are gonna come.
my HR was mainly TR and stress HR round. I answered most of the questions with ease and patience but I thought I was not doing that well coz at that point I never knew I was under stress interview.
I was asked many questions on different things and about friends.
I was continuously encountered with satires and various kinds of negative expressions.
This was just to test my patience and my reactions when under stress.
simply be calm, have a smile in your face. if you don't know something just tell him that you don't know it,
that'l help you a lot.
try to be as calm and cool as possible never loose hope when your interview is going on.
smile that is the only thing you can do when your under lots of stress.
Finally I was able to get into Capgemini.
over 600 people attempted written test and 150 got through written.
113 got through gd
and finally 70 got job.
Hi Friends
Im Rupa from Sri Venkateswara College of Engg. I m here to share my experience with you.. CAPGEMINI visited our campus on 7th of June 2008. There were totally three rounds..
1. APTITUDE TEST
2. GROUP DISCUSSION
3. HR cum TECH ROUND.
APTITUDE ROUND:
Aptitude is easy only. Just go through all the previous year Capgemini papers once.. questions may repeat again.. and just go through R.S. AGGARWAL for quants. Totally 50 questions in 1 hour.. But there is negative marking so please be careful when you answer the questions.. Dont mark the answers if you are not sure.. Think twice before you mark..
NOTE: you've to use only pens so be careful.. (shade it properly otherwise it'll be untidy). And negative marking is .25 mark... JUST BE CONFIDENT.. you can easily crack this round.. Totally 400 students appeared for aptitude but only 116 students got through aptitude round.. next is GD..
GROUP DISCUSSION:
After aptitude we all asked to split into groups.. And GD topics are given on the spot by HR's.. just chill.. Be CONFIDENT and Communicate well in GD.. At the same time you SHOULD NOT DOMINATE OTHERS.. Just come out with your ideas …JUST BE CONFIDENT…. From 116 students only 66 students were selected for next round..
HR cum TECH ROUND:
This round depends on the HR who comes in your panel… Some HR’S will ask tech questions also from your area of interest.. So be confident about the sub that you mentioned as your area of interest in your resume.. But I am very lucky.. The HR who came for our panel was so sweet.. only HR questions he asked us.
1) Tell about yourself
2) Hobbies
3) Role model
4) About your educational background..
5) Short term and long term goals…
This round will be simple only.. don't worry.. Don’t loose your patience…. DO UR BEST GOD WILL DO THE REST..
Finally out of 66 students they selected 47 from our college… I was the one among those 47 students…. I am very glad to be a part of this excellent company…. Capgemini visited our campus for the first time so it was excellent they recruited 47 students from our college… We are very proud to be an product of SVCE… and going to be a part of Capgemini.. I WISH ALL THE SUCCESS TO U ALL..

HR : one puzzle HR : Atlast they told to me to ask any question Finally they selected 20 students from our college & I am one of them. Hi Friends I am Charchika Shukla, student of NIT Raipur. I got placed in "CAPGEMINI" on 5th August 2008. It was a wonderful experience. That day first of all the company's representatives gave a Powerpoint Presentation, as it was the first software company to vsit our college all of us were very excited, I and some of my frnz had come with an attitude that just lets see what happens, we were not very sure, so it was like a rehearsel for us. the presentation was good, they told us abt their cmpny n all. You must check out a few details like CEO, locations, origin etc. about the cmpny, it helps. After ppt we were to sit for the written test. It was easy, there were 2 sections - Apti n LR. There were 3 different sets of the paper. Questions wre of the type specified in many of the papers on this site. 50 qs n 1 hr time. they had told us a cutt off of 10 qs in each section. I had solved 12-13 qs of apti and around 18-20 qs of LR. After about 1 n a hlf hr results were declard n to my surprise my name was there!! total 120 students were selectd. Next round GD. With my frnz help I prepared some current topics like "Nuclear deal", "terrorism" n a few abstract topics like "black" etc. they had divided 120 ppl in 10 grps each of 12 members. Then came my turn- n luckily I got the topic Nuclear deal. My panel gave us 2 min. to think abt the topic. as I had prpd it, so I decided anyhow I have to "initiate" the topic, as it yields most points and was just looking at them for start signal n as soon as I got it I just grabbed the opportunity n successfully initiated the topic - "gud afternoon all of u, I m so n so n our topic of discussion is ...." . One important thing that I learnt was - a persn must be confident while speaking, must raise the volume if he/she is not getting the chance to speak, becoz nobody is going to give u chance to speak, n at the same must listen to others attentively, make eye contact wid ur grp members it shows ur confidence n projects u as a facilitator who helps others to speak. I did all this. n also, if possible try to make urself comfortable with ur grp members if u know their names, before the discussion as it helps u to win frnz n hence good n familiar grp members to discuss with. neways, results were out n as I thought - I had a chance, I was one of the 3 students selectd from our grp of 12 students. total 74 students. So, I was in for the final round - the tech+ hr interview. It was really a mix of feelings- I was excited at the same tme a bit nervous abt the interview as I had not prpd well my technical subjects like Operating System, N/wking etc. n rest of the subjects like DS, C, C++ I had not touched them for the last week, but ya, I was done with my project works which I had done genuinely. So before goin to interview I had some 2 hrs, so I just brushed up some of the basic concepts n all. I was abt to be called on 27th no. but to my surprise, my name was called around 7:15 pm nearly 1/2 an hr earlier. I was not at all prepared, I just picked up my file from smwhere n a pen, lended by my frnd n rushed in. There were 4 panels. I was sent to a single person panel. His name was Mr. Shabreesh Menon. So I jst entered n wished him gudevning sir. He too wished me n askd me to sit. n he askd me the meaning of my name. H told. he then asked me to give me a brief intro of myself. I did. then he askd me abt my projects. I told. then askd me abt my fav subject. I told. nxt q was why did I chose to pursue MCA. I told. then he gave me a really easy puzzle. I answrd. he then askd why shall they choose me over others. I told hard work, sincere with an eg to support. then he finally askd me if I had any constraints regarding the place if I get placed. I said no. He then said ok, it was nice meeting u and did a handshake. I said - "same here sir" with a smile. and I left. I thought I had a chance, for the first time in the whole day it came to my mind- I dnt want to go home empty handed now. As I was the first one to be called of our class so evry one jst asked me abt the interview. finally, the results were abt to be out... Finally our (girls candidates, as it was getting late) results wre out - n my name was there!!! frm our class 7 girls n 4 bys have been selectd!!! Just, one thing be confident n take evry thing lightly, i.e dont be tensed n have faith in the god. n u will do it... Hi Friends This is somewhat related to the candidates who need guidance on MAINFRAMES. Mainframes paper is different from others... Actually there will be three rounds for you 1) WRITTEN TEST a) Technical b) Logical reasoning In Technical again there will be 5 sections on JCL, COBOL, CICS, DB2, VSAM. Each section carries 15 marks and you have to get atleast 9 marks in each section and there is a negative marking of 0.25 for each wrong answer. In Logical Reasoning there will be 50 questions. I dont know whether these section carries negative marking or not!!! 2) GROUP DISCUSSION In GD they give quite general topics like "WHY INDIA IS LAGGING IN OLYMPICS", "IS IT NECCESARY TO GO TO FOREIGN FOR EDUCATION". 3) INTERVIEW In interview they covered almost all topics. For me they asked so many questions on DB2 SQL and about my project. Some questions on physics also. Concentrate more on COBOL. why bcoz in our paper COBOL is some what tougher when compared to others. Gothrough the project before going to interview and also prepare your own feedback questions. The questions what you ask them will also give some impression. I asked these questions, (i) what about the training for the selected candidates? (ii) How this company will help the emplyoes to improve their technical stuff? (iii)In which areas I have to improve yet? thats it.... Results were anounced, the next day. I am very happy to say that I got placed in CAPGEMINI. Hi Friends This is omkar from D.M.C.E, Airoli, Navi Mumbai. Cap Gemini visited our college on 4th September 2008. Well let me tell u about myself, before CAPGEMINI I cleared 5 aptitude test, 1 GD, 4 TR and 3 HR and then too I was not selected. So u can think me as an experience candidate for placement) but I think my destiny was in cap Gemini. the overall procedure for the placement was as follows:- 1) U r required to fill an admit card for the online aptitude test. The online aptitude test consist of 2 sections of 50 questions. 1) Quantitative (1 to 25) 2) Logical (26 to 50). Time limit:-60 min. There was no negative marking. There was sectional cutoff. Quantities section consist of following question *) how many prime numbers r between 1 to 100? (ans :-25 (1 is not prime)) *) a problem on speed, distance, time like superman flies at 25mph, spiderman flies at15mph and phantom take 2 hrs to fly from NY to DC. If speed of spiderman is twice that of phantom and distance between NY to DC is same as distance between NY to Washington (I don't remember it well) there where couple of question like *) what is the distance between NY and DC? *) how long will superman take to travel from dc to Washington and back? *) I donno remember the 3rd ? *) the largest no between (7)-(2),(3)+(4),2*(2),6+(2)(X)=square root of X *) Arrange some numbers in descending order? If u want to crack quantitative section u have to do following section well ;- 1-numbers (5 question) 2-average(2) 3-speed, distance(5) 4-simple compound interest(2) 5-profit and loss(3) 6-progression (2) Logical Section consist of following question;- *) a problem on if it rains on Wednesday it will rain on Friday and so on and 5 questions based on the data (the question on the data were scattered all around the paper i.e 1st question was no 26,2nd was no 30,3rd was 32,4th was 36,and 5th was 38) (easy) *) a problem on playground i.e A,B,C,D want to play on ground P,Q,R,S.A plays on p and Q. B on Q & R. C on Q and S.5 question where asked on the data (easy) *) a 5 question on relation i.e A is D mom. B is E mom. F is C son. B is G aunt(not sure). And some more data was given Let me tell u, the logical question was much easy than quantitative. So first attempt logical and then quantitative. don't go for solving all question of logical; solve 15 questions of logical then go for quantitative since quantitative is difficult and there was sectional cut off. Keep last 5 minutes for guessing the answers of the remaining question. In our college out of 80, 20 was selected for interview (since less students qualified, they cancelled the GD section and directly took the interview) Well there were 2 interviews (TR and HR) My TR interview went like this I - good evening sir. Interviewer - good evening Omkar. how was ur day? I - fine sir ? Interviewer:- well Omkar tell me about you. I - (this is the main part. mention ur name, birth date, birth place, academic's 10th, 12th B.E, the order of mentioning should be ascending, don't directly start from ur B.E, also mention ur hobbies, which u pursued in 10, 12 and B.E, also mention achievement if any) Interviewer - well do u have any idea about DBMS (if u r comp or IT u should know what it is?) I - yes. Interviewer - can u develop database relation schema for a movie theatre (since I mention my hobby as WATCHING MOVIES) I - I did as he told; he in fact helped me to develop the database. Interviewer - what do u mean by normalization? I - explained with an example and also told about 1NF, 2NF, 3NF etc Interviewer - any liking for programming languages? I - 'C' programming language. Interviewer - he asked me to write a program (only logic, no emphasis on syntax) for Fibonacci series (really a piece of cake) Interviewer - asked me about my project work for current year? I - explained about my project in detailed (he was really impressed by my presentation of project). Interviewer - asked question about my project? Interviewer - do u have any question? I - sir, can u give me details of the bond we have to sign while joining? Interviewer - explained? Interviewer - well Omkar thank u? (he got up for shaking hand, tat's a sign u r on right track, I left the room and after some time I got call for HR interview. the trick for clearing TR is be honest for most times, if u donno know some answer, tell him frankly tat "u can't recollect it", if u have some knowledge tell him what u know about it and last add "tats all I can remember, sir") My HR Interview went like this:- Interviewer:-u may sit Omkar. I - thank u sir. Interviewer - tell me about ur self? I - same as above Interviewer - what about ur family background? I - told him. Interviewer - which technology r u aiming for career and why? I - sir, JAVA becoz it's an ever expanding, branching language, like JSP, JAVA net beans, JAKARTA STRUTS etc (added something about the features about JAVA) Interviewer - where do u see ur self 5 years from now? I - leading a group of 5-10 people in an I.T firm probably a project leader. Interviewer - do u know any recent news about the booming IT sector? (since I mentioned my hobby as newspaper reading) I - no sir my special liking is for world politics, and technology. sir not really interested in business. Interviewer- ok. any problem shifting to other locations? I - no. Interviewer - well thank u omkar ? I - thank u sir. I waited for 2 hours outside and finally 7 people went for HR interview (I was one of them) out of 20 selected they told me that results of those who gave HR will be out next day the rest r rejected. while rest went home dejected I was nervous whether I will be selected or not. on next day results were out (they mailed the result to our training and placement officer) out of 7, 4 were selected and I was one of them! finally! Hi Friends I m Sanjeet Sinha, a final year student of PCEA, Nagpur. I'm here to share my experience of the selection procedure conducted by CAPGEMINI on 29th july, 2008. We had to face 3 rounds- (a) Aptitude Test (b) Group Discussion (c) Personal interview(Tech+HR) There was 50 questions in the Aptitude test :: 25 questions on Quantitative & other 25 questions were Logical analysis. The questions were easy but a little time consuming. Mainly the questions were from-time and dist, profit and loss, speed and distance, and the logical part was of general common sense we can practice it from R.S.Agarwal. As i told u that the papers were easy but time consuming hence Time management was the key part for solving the paper and also look for the previous year questions. They declared a cut off of 10 marks from each sec, so it was 20 in total. About 400 students appeared for the aptitude, out of which 129 cleared the aptitude test including me. The next round was GD. A group of 10 studnts were made. It was a wonderful experience to all of us. we got the topic "should youth enter into the politics". It was a good topic to discuss and it happened the same. we had a good discussion of the topic and almost each of the member contributed more or less at their best. And out of 9 students from our group, 5 including me were selected. In total they selected 63 candidate for final round i,e the personal interview. The PI included both tecnical as well as HR. In tech they asked que from the branch u belonged and some basic knowlege of C language. After a long time I was called for the PI. It was almost 9 of the evening, I entered the cabin. I know what's the amount of pressure a candidate have on him, whenever he appears for an interview, & how was the feelings of being rejected one after another times. It was nice to giving an interview in a friendly atmosphere they created. I was asked to tell about myself, the respected madam who was taking my interview asked me from the points I mentioned to tell about myself. They asked me about the aptitute test and which part I felt easy?. I replied that both parts were good but I cud attempt more que from quanti. Next I was asked to tell my weakness and stengths. Next I was asked that although u r from mech engg. then why do want to join IT sector, I replied that due to my less marks in entrance test I cudn't get diff branch thogh I had a lot of interest in computers from the very beginning... Next I was asked if i had any query.. I replied that if I m selected wat more courses shud I had to study before joining the company? Next they asked me about my place of preferences?... I peplied that place dosen't matter for me, the quality which I provide to the company that matters much for me.. I want to share something with you, it was the 8th interview, I was appeared for. Previously I've rejected 7 times, but still I didn't give up. I want to say you people must have confidence upon yourself, that's the thing with which you can win, never become hopeless. So please try to be confident, always try to answer promptly, don't go for any false representation, as it reflects on your expression,& have faith on yourself---that's the key to crack. Don't get me wrong, you may have feel that I'm giving too many advises that are useless, but I'm telling you, whatever I've said here, all are my own experiences. I personally believe that "failure is tha pillar of success", & YES, I'VE PROVED IT BY MYSELF, I'VE CRACKED CAPGEMINI, the renowned IT company in the industry. The final result listed 41 candidates who are finally selected, & I feel very proud to be 1 of those 41. Hi Friends first of all I thank all the members of this forum for posting such useful messages, which helped me a lot and following is my interview pattern which held in Anna University, Coimbatore on 15th August Basically there were three rounds 1. Written 2. GD 3. Tech+HR Written * 2 sections were there (25 Apps + 25 Verbal) * its very easy one, but the problem is negative marking (-0.25). * Go through all the previous papers * dont attend everything, there is maximum cut off I think so * its better to get between 25-30 * its an elimination round. nearly 1600 ppls only 150 are shortlisted. GD * its not a problem, if u have basic communcation skill. * my gd topic was.. why is america dominating the world, and my frnd's topics were Is senior players required in indian cricket team, IT vs non-IT. (be updated with current events). * its not an elimination round, out of 150 nearly 110 were selected. TECH+HR * be frank, don try to confuse, be clear with basic concepts of IT and some simple programs (swap, palindrome, string reverse.....). * for me it lasts for 30 minutes. HR was very friendly. * if u donno the answer say him frankly, be bold and confident. * u can expect basic qns like temme abt urslf, y capgemini, strength and weakness. * i was asked to answer this qn "u are a team leader, ur project deadline is today and u r not able to finish it, at this situation wat will u do ?" * dress neatly, shave ur beard, be professional. * basic communication skill is the main aspect here. * out of 110->80 were selected finally.
p.s: since they need 10,000+ professionals by 2010, if u clear the written and u hv a basic tech & comm skil, there is no doubt that u r an employee of CG.

Hi Friends
I am Srividya from SNIST (Sreenidhi institute of Science and Technology). On 16th JULY '08' we had an off campus at GNITS (Narayanamma engineering college).
So... around more than 650 people attended for WRITTEN TEST (APTITUDE+REASONING).
After 1st round written test short listed candidates are 35. And next we had GD. In this round 25 got short listed. Then we had TEHNICAL/HR interview.... its went for me almost for more than 40 min.... its a stress interview.. But it went COOL!!!
After this round 20 got selected.
So... i want to share my feelings and the procedure of the all the rounds how i felt it.
ROUND 1: Written Test : Two sections
Section A : 25 questions (Quantitative)
Simple ... and most of the questions were repeated from previous papers (its MUST ... MUST .......SOLVE).I didn't solve them but any ways I got it. BE CAREFUL while answering there will be a NEGATIVE MARKING of 1/4 for each ques if wrong.
Section B : 25 questions (verbal+logical)
logical questions includes data sufficiency (RS AGGARWAL)(8 to 10 questions)
puzzle test (RS AGGARWAL)(8 to 10 questions)

PREVIOUS PAPERS (very important) out of 650-700.....35 made it to the next round.
NOTE: For section B must solve R.S. AGARWAL (VERBAL +NON-VERBAL)
ROUND 2: Group Discussion
tips: think carefully & speak what the topic demands....
give others a chance to express their views......
"GD is not all about speaking...a good listener is also a Group participant"
we have given a topic on " IS GD NECESSARY FOR ELIMINATION "
out of 35....25 were selected.
ROUND 3: Technical Round & HR ROUND:
There were 6 panels for this round.
in some panels they gave a choice of which U want TR/HR.
BUT I faced ... BOTH TR and HR
BASICS of every subjects (C,C++,JAVA,DATA STRUCTURES).
***CODING in Dynamic dispatcher, pointers, arrays, structures, Union and LINKED LIST.
AND HR went COOL !!! but he will test Ur patience .... so always BE COOL and ANSWER with SMILING FACE.

1.**Communication Skills are important.
2. Tell me about UR self and FAMILY BACKGROUND.
3. In what AREAS you have improved till now?
4.STRENGTHS?
5.WEAKNESS?
6.Why only Capgemini? why not any other MNC?

and the last question is:
8. Any questions?
U must ask questions atleast 2....... it shows how U show UR interest for their company.

so...must ask....:)
On the whole its a Stress Interview.......... But it went COOL!!!
Important: Though he confuses u...... U must "HAVE A SMILE on UR face". And basic Programming skills are required for Technical Round.
NOTE: **1.ALWAYS HAVE A "SMILE" ON UR FACE in INTERVIEW and GD.
**2.Be "CONFIDENT" on what U R saying.
**3. Speak Loudly and Clearly.
**4. Don't use the word ... "CONFUSED" always Use "I will IMPROVE" and " I am CONFIDENT" sir.
Last but not least...... I want to say to all my friends.......
" DONT GET DISAPPOINTED.. IF U don't get now..... SOME BEST COMPANY IS AWAITING FOR U"
ALL THE BEST :)

After that one HR round as usual all companies are taking that

I think this will help you and wish you all the best.
Hi Friends
My name is Keyur. I recently appeared for Capgemini, it is a very good company. they are giving a package of 2.73lac. On 19th we had the aptitude test, then on 20th we had a GD round. After that there is technical cum HR round.
Aptitude test was of 1hr online test and it consists of 25 questions in analytical section and 25 questions in logical section.
Analytical section was tough and is very time consuming. u can refer R.S.Agrawal quantitive for this section. do that book very seriously try to give more stress on speed, distance, time, ages, simplification, permutation and combination chapters. but note that u dond waste much time in this section dont give more then 35 min to this section.
Logical is quite easy and u can score good points in this section. u can refer (R.S.Agrawal logical reasoning) for this section. do the puzzle test and data sufficiency chapters very perfectly bcoz most of the questions were from this 2 chapters. I think doing only this 2 chapters is enough.
I was not able to clear the apti and the cut off was not disclosed. may be it was around 30 right questions.
Next round was GD round many of my friends cleared it and went for tech cum HR round.

Hi Friends
I'm Aniruddha Ghosh, a 3rd year engineering student of Bengal Institute of Technology, Kolkata. I'm here to share my xperience of the capussing procedure conducted by CAPGEMINI on 24th April 2007.
We had to face 4 rounds-
a) Aptitude Test
b) Group Discussion
c) Technical Interview
d) HR interview
There was 50 questions in the aptitude test, 25 questions on quantitative & other 25 questions were logical analysis. There was no such questions either on verbal or technical ability. The questions were standard, not very easy, but not at all tough, a little bit time-taking.
Mainly the quanti questions were on basic--profit & loss, interest, fractions, speed...etc.The logical questions were on common sense, very ordinary logical questions followed by any book like R.S.Agarwal. The time management is the main key to solve the paper as per my point of view.
Total 116 candidates appeared for aptitude test, only 45 cleared the aptitude test including me.
The next round was GD. It was a wonderful experience to all of us. We have given "Lage raho Munnabhai---what's the social impact of that well admired movie". It was a very good topic to discuss, nearly all of us contribute more or less as their level best. I initiated the GD & my friends also spoke well. 9 people out of 11 were selected from our group.
In total they selected 36 candidates for technical interview. The moderator of our group was very friendly & he gave us enough time to discuss. Before starting the GD he said that--"nothing to worry about, it's just a formal discussion", which was a big relief to all of us.
In technical Interview they asked very basic questions from our semester subjects. Specially C, DS, DBMS, Networking, OS, OOP & Microprocessor. CS & IT people please make urself comfortable with your departmental subjects, if possible Please go through Microprocessor also. They ask from here also. As I'm a student of IT department, I'm giving u the brief of my interview, but I've heard from my friends of ECE department, they were asked from their departmental subjects also.
I was asked to tell the respected interviewer the names of my past 2 semester's subjects. He listened those carefully & asked questions from those subjects, I've mentioned earlier. Some questions was like---basic features of OOP-discuss, normalization, OS handling, basic questions on OS, OSI layer-little discussion, link lists, sorting & last but not the least I was asked to write the algo of Quicksort & some other questions also there, that I can't remember now. But over all there was no such contradictory questions, they never counter with your answer.
There were only 18 candidates including me cleared the technical round.
After some time I was called for HR interview. It was nice to giving an interview in a friendly atmosphere they created. I was asked to tell about myself, the respected madam who was taking my interview asked me from the points I mentioned to tell about myself. She asked me ---"what do u mean by optimism?", "how can you prove that you are optimistic?", "what do u know about software industry?", strengths, weaknesses. Finally asked me to question her about my confusions if any.
I want to share something with you, it was the 6th interview, I was appeared for. Previously I've rejected 5 times, but still I didn't give up. I want to say you people must have confidence upon yourself, that's the thing with which you can win, never become hopeless. I know what's the amount of pressure a candidate have on him, whenever he appears for an interview & how was the feelings of being rejected one after another times.
So please try to be confident, always try to answer promptly, don't go for any false representation, as it reflects on your expression & have faith on yourself---that's the key to crack.
The final result listed only 9 candidates who are finally selected & I feel very proud to be 1 of those 9.

3 6 5 1
each of 7 digits from 1,2,3,4,5,6 & 9 is represented by letter in the subtraction of problem above.
Q7. (a) Which letter is represented by the number "3"
Solution:-
3 6 5 1
(+) D E A N
-----------------------------------
S L I D E
It is given in the question that each of 7 digits 1,2,3,4,5, 6 & 9 is represented by a. Different letter in the above problem it is clear that 3+D+carry [If any] is equal to SL. But as it is clear that highest sum of there given no. can be (9+6+1)=16 so S = 1
Now it is also clear that D is either 6 or 9 but D cannot be 6, because in that case L, is equal to 0, which is not possible.
So D = 9
Now from that it is clear that L Letter is either 2 or 3 & A=4, It is also clear that E cannot be equal to 5,4,3,2,1
So E=6
Now we can help of above conclusions.
Ans. to question no.
(a) = L
(b) Which letter is represented by the no "5" ? Ans (b) N
(c) Which no is presented by the letter "E" ? Ans. (d) 6

Hi Friends
This is Samrat here.. I am sharing my experiences abt the CAPGEMINI recruitment held at KIIT, Bhubaneswar on 4th June.
As u guys would b knowing this year the test pattern of CAPGEMINI is Aptitude(25) and Reasoning(25).. Then followed by GD, Technical (mainly HR based and puzzles) and HR..
The apti part was very easy. actually questions are being repeated. The same question that came in BIT, Kolkata came here.. So I would suggest all the aspirants to solve the papers given properly. In our college 300 students sat for the paper. Out of it 120 cleared written. Then came the GD part..
Topics like -East or West which is the land of opportunities and Gandhigiri or Dadagiri were given. In our college we had 50 B.Tech and 70 MCA 's qulaified for written... There were 5 B.Tech GD group and 7 MCA groups each consisting of 10. So out of it 51 cleared GD.. My topic was Lagey Raho Munnabhai and its impact in modern days. I cleared GD..
Then came the Technical or Management round.. In this round either you would be asked some HR queestions like Tell Me about Yourself or some cases would be given to you and you have to get the best possible answers.. They gave me a puzzle from Shakuntala Devi and told me to complete it in 30 secs. I confidently did it in 20 secs. And they would also be askin you abt ur Hobbies and details on them.. Then I was told to wait outside for HR round..
Friends remember in Capgemini every person has to undergo thru TECH and HR.. They evaluate you on your total performance starting from written marks, GD, Tech qualities and HR...
Then in my HR round i had to face the HR Head of Kolkata--VANDANA mam. She asked me on why I joined Capgemini inspite of there being so many big companies like TCS, CTS, etc.
Then asked abt my projects in details.. Then asked me on my hobbies, Extracurricular activities.. A situation was given to me how I should overcome it with the best possible outcomes. like that..and then asked questions like Why i joined KIIT, Bbsr apart from having joined in an Engineering college in Kolkata (I am from KOL so shes asked this).. Like this..i was so confident with the answers that my HR was pleased.. It was a 20 mins Interview.. Then she finally asked me if I have any questions for her. I asked her some like what a company expects from the freshers and wat subject a fresher should be acquainted with properly b4 joining a company and like dat.. Then she told me it was over and I had to wait outside for results. Finally when results came out at 12 am ..i was lucky to find my name in the 5th call... What they said was they marked a person totally starting from Written GD, Tech, HR..mine was the 5th rank out of the 300.. After having failed to even clear the written in WIPRO, MINDTREE, L&T INFOTECH I was really very depressed and now i ve cleared CAPGEMINI --a MNC wow!!
I really bleive to get recruited u really need 70 percent luck.. They offered package of 2.75 but it woudl be revised to 3.3 lacs/annum...
Hi Friends
We had Capgemini as ON Campus at our college. It was scheduled to start by 2:30 but took some more time to start off. The basic thing was that it was an ONLINE TEST. The same day CapGemini had been to CVRCE where they had written test in the form of pen and paper.
We were given a registration no and that regn no was our id and password to login. they had a fake test for 5 min to make the students acquainted with their question pattern. after that the test began. Believe me friends maximum of the questions were repeated frm the last questions papers which are quoted on this web site. Not even a single data had changed. maximum of the questions were from the previous papers. Aptitude part was easy and RS Aggrawal is more than sufficient. reasoning part demanded the maximum time and one should be tricky in attending those coz this part asks for most of the time. total were 50 questions which were to be attended in 60 min. Time counter was running on computer, so a single more second could not be availed. as soon as 1 hour will be reached then immediately the page will be refreshed and the current profile will be logged out. So please be time efficient.

Hi Friends
I'm here to share my experience with you. CAPGEMINI visited our campus on 24th April. It was declared only the previous day and we heard that aptitude test will be substituted by GD. But on the d day we had altogether four rounds.
APTITUDE TEST
GD
TECHNICAL
HR
Aptitude test was the main elimination round. Out of 116 candidates 44 was selected. The topic for our GD was "The present status of our cricket team". The GD round went very well and all 12 members were selected.
The technical was a bit tough. Be prepared with one of your favorite subject. Questions were from C, C++, DBMS, O.S.
EX:
Define pointer.
What is Null pointer?
Algo for bobble sort, binary search
Basic questions of C++. like class, polymorphism...
Normalization-3NF, BCNF...
HR ques are also asked in this round.
Finally HR round which is very easy. 18 candidates cleared technical out of which 9 were selected. The results were declared on 15th May. so all had to wait with great tention.
My only advice is be confident, have patience.. and hope for the best.

CAPGEMINI PLACEMENT PAPER ON 5th August 2008 (Pattern)
Hello all job aspirants, i am charchika shukla, student of NIT Raipur.I got placed in "CAPGEMINI" on 5th August 2008.It was a wonderful experience.
That day first of all the company's representatives gave a Powerpoint Presentation of their company , as it was the first software company to vsit our college all of us were very excited , i and some of my frnz had come with an attitude that just lets see what happens,we were not very sure, so it was like a rehearsel for us. the presentation was good,they told us abt their cmpny n all.You must check out a few details like CEO,locations,origin etc. about the cmpny,it helps.
After ppt we were to sit for the written test.it was easy , there were 2 sections - apti n LR. there were 3 different sets of the paper.questions wre of the type specified in many of the papers on this site.50 qs n 1 hr time.they had told us a cutt off of 10 qs in each section.i had solved 12-13 qs of apti and around 18-20 qs of LR. i had given the test with " lets see what happens" hope., after about 1 n a hlf hr results were declard n to my surprise my name was there!! total 120 students were selectd .i thought " oh my god !i will have to prepare for next round GD" as i had not prpd for it at all.so with my frnz help i prepared some current topics like "Nuclear deal" , "terrorism" n a few abstract topics like "black" etc. they had divided 120 ppl in 10 grps each of 12 members.
Then came my turn- n luckily i got the topic Nuclear deal.my panel gave us 2 min. to think abt the topic.as i had prpd it ,so i decided anyhow i have to "initiate" the topic, as it yields most points and was just looking at them for start signal n as soon as i got it i just grabbed the opportunity n successfully initiated the topic - "gudafternoon all of u,i m so n so n our topic of discussion is ...." . one important thing that i learnt was - a persn must be confident while speaking, must raise the volume if he/she is not getting the chance to speak, becoz nobody is going to give u chance to speak , n at the same must listen to others attentively, make eye contact wid ur grp members it shows ur confidence n projects u as a facilitator who helps others to speak. i did all this. n also , if possible try to make urself comfortable with ur grp members if u know their names, before the discussion as it helps u to win frnz n hence good n familiar grp members to discuss with.
So , i was in for the final round - the tech+ hr interview. it was really a mix of feelings- i was excited at the same tme a bit nervous abt the interview as i had not prpd well my technical subjects like Operating System, N/wking etc. n rest of the subjects like DS,C,C++ i had not touched them for the last week , but ya , i was done with my project works which i had done genuinely. so before goin to interview i had some 2 hrs , so i just brushed up some of the basic concepts n all .
I was abt to be called on 27 th no. but to my surprise, my name was called around 7:15 pm nearly 1/2 an hr earlier.i was not at all prepared , i just picked up my file from smwhere n a pen, lended by my frnd n rushed in.
There were 4 panels . I was sent to a single person panel.His name was Mr. Shabreesh Menon.
So i jst entered n wished him gudevning sir.he too wished me n askd me to sit.n he askd me the meaning of my name. i told.he then asked me to give me a brief intro of myself.i did. then he askd me abt my projects.i told. then askd me abt my fav subject.i told. nxt q was why did i chose to pursue MCA.i told. then he gave me a really easy puzzle.i answrd.he then askd why shall they choose me over others.i told hard work,sincere with an eg to support.then he finally askd me if i had any constraints regarding the place if i get placed.i said no.
He then said ok,it was nice meeting u and did a handshake.i said - "same here sir"with a smile. and i left.
I thought i had a chance,for the first time in the whole day it came to my mind- i dnt want to go home empty handed now. as i was the first one t be called of our class so evry one jst asked me abt the interview.finally, the results were abt to be out
CAPGEMINI PLACEMENT PAPER ON 4th SEPTEMBER 2008 (Pattern)
This is omkar from D.M.C.E ,airoli, navi Mumbai. Cap Gemini visited our college on 4th September 2008.well let me tell u about myself, before CAPGEMINI I cleared 5 aptitude test ,1 GD ,4 TR and 3 HR and then too I was not selected. So u can think me as an experience candidate for placement) but I think my destiny was in cap Gemini . the overall procedure for the placement was as follows:-
The online aptitude test consist of 2 sections of 50 questions.
1) Quantitative (1 to 25)
2) Logical (26 to 50).
Time limit:-60 min.
There was no negative marking. There was sectional cutoff.
Quantities section : consist of following question
*) how many prime numbers r between 1 to 100? (ans :-25 (1 is not prime))
*)a problem on speed ,distance, time like superman flies at 25mph, spiderman flies at15mph and phantom take 2 hrs to fly from NY to DC. If speed of spiderman is twice that of phantom .and distance between NY to DC is same as distance between NY to Washington (I don't remember it well) there where couple of question like
*) what is the distance between NY and DC?
*) how long will superman take to travel from dc to Washington and back?
*) I donno remember the 3rd ?
*)the largest no between (7)-(2),(3)+(4),2*(2),6+(2)(X)=square root of X
*)Arrange some numbers in descending order?
I will tell u guys if u want to crack quantitative section u have to do following section well ;-
1-numbers (5 question)
2-average(2)
3-speed ,distance(5)
4-simple compound interest(2)
5-profit and loss(3)
6-progression (2)
Logical section : consist of following question;-
*)a problem on if it rains on Wednesday it will rain on Friday and so on and 5 questions based on the data (the question on the data were scattered all around the paper i.e 1st question was no 26,2nd was no 30,3rd was 32,4th was 36,and 5th was 38) (easy)
*)a problem on playground i.e A,B,C,D want to play on ground P,Q,R,S.A plays on p and Q. B on Q & R. C on Q and S.5 question where asked on the data (easy)
*)a 5 question on relation i.e A is D mom. B is E mom. F is C son. B is G aunt(not sure).
And some more data was given Let me tell u friends the logical question was much easy than quantitative .so first attempt logical and then quantitative. don't go for solving all question of logical solve 15 questions of logical then go for quantitative since quantitative is difficult and there was sectional cut off. Keep last 5 minutes for guessing the answers of the remaining question.
In our college out of 80, 20 was selected for interview (since less student qualified, they cancelled the GD section and directly took the interview)
Well there were 2 interviews (TR and HR) My HR interview went like this

Paper : Capgemini Latest Job Interview Placement Paper At Nagpur
Hi Capgemini Aspirants,
I am a MCA student at G.H. Raisoni Institute of Information Technology, Nagpur. First of all, let me tell you, I never knew anything about Capgemini before I started preparing for it. If you are appearing for Capgemini campus, then I would suggest you to prepare really well, because getting into this company will be a booster for your career.
I think you should know the following about Capgemini:
1. Capgemini is a Europe multinational (unlike indian borne MNCs like Infosys, Wipro and all), spread in 38 countries around the globe.
2. Its a 13.8 billion $ company. Companies like infosys,satyam,wipro are not even half of Capgemini.(TCS being 7.4 bn$)
3. Its called the gurus of consulting .
4. It stands 5th the Indian IT company rankings 2008.
5. It stands 4th in the best IT consulting services company in the recent world rankings by Forbes.
6. Capgemini is a very good company for the freshers, unlike other IT firms ,Capgemini stands the last when it comes to irregular firings. Capgemini came for a
Campus recruitment drive on Jul 29th, 2008. It was a closed campus, comprising of two colleges (G.H. Raisoni and PCEA). Around 500 (BE + MCA) students appeared for the campus.
The criteria was:
1. For BE: 60% in BE till date & no active backlogs.
2. For MCA: 60% in MCA 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). 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). I think this helps a lot.
So, I will suggest you to mug up all the questions by heart that I am giving with their answers.

None of the above I would suggest you to go through as many Capgemini placement papers as possible. The questions are very simple. Even if you are not very good at aptitude, you can make it. Just be cool and imply your brain. After the aptitude test, the results were displayed after around 2 hrs. 129 candidates managed to clear the aptitude test and were called for GD session.
3) Group Discussion:
All the selected candidates were divided into 13 groups of 10 students each.
The GD was being conducted simultaneously in 3 rooms. Our group got the topic "Should GDs be included in selection procedures?" Clearing the GD round is easy. The coordinators were really very friendly and made all the candidates relaxed. In GD, you will have to show your participation. Do open up your mouth, but at the same time, see to it that you are not disrupting others. Dont loose confidence even if you are not a very good speaker. Just give strong points, thisz what matters the most. After about 1hr the list of candidates who had cleared the GD was displayed and they were asked to report in a room for further proceedings. 60 candidates cleared the GD round.
4) Personal Interview:
There were 3 interview panels consisting of 2 members each. The interviews were going on simultaneously. I was the third one to be called.
Me: Good evening Sir, Ma'am.
Interviewers: GE, please sit. How was ur day?
Me: Great. We had pretty good time, selection procedure was punctal.
Int: But the guy before you was saying that he is too much tired and having head ache..?
Me: It was a good day for me Sir, I am used to such schedule. (Actually they were testing if the candidate can spend long working hrs or not. Please be very positive in your answers.)
Int: How was the aptitude test.
Me: It was good. Not very tough.
Iv: Is it so because you guys got a lot of chance to cheat and ask answers from your friends?
Me: No Sir, I didnt seek anybody else's help and did all my paper of my own. If you wish, I am ready to solve it all again in front of you.
Int: (very happy) Very Good. I like your confidence. (It was a direct fire. Keep cool under such conditions and try to give good and positive answers that show your confidence against such questions.) Then I was asked technical questions: whats printf, scanf in C? Was asked to write a program that sorts both a character array as well as an integer array. (I wrote the logic) What is type casting? Memory taken by diff data-types etc. Being a MCA candidate, although I was well prepered for DBMS, Operating System, Data Structures questions, I was seldomly asked about them. Then the lady asked me a question from the aptitude paper and asked me to solve it (she didnt give me the full data).
I told her I need more data to solve it. She insisted that it can be solved with that much data only but I knew it wasnt so, so I kept sticking to my point. Then she asked me a couple of puzzles. I dont know how I performed, but I think they see your approach to solving the problem. Further, the gentleman asked me about my hobbies, my family etc.
We discussed arout 2-3 minutes about my father's work (an armyman). Finally, they asked me for my CV, a photograph, photo-copies of all my marksheets from Std 10th till MCA. Me: It was a very great time with you Sir. Iv: Same here Amit. Good Luck. My interview ran for about 30 minutes. Be cool and confident during the interview. If you are confident and have good communication skills, there are strong chances that you may be selected.
All the interviews were over by 10:15pm and we waited very eagerly for the results. We were asked to assemble in a room where the HR, Preety Ma'am came on the stage to announce the name of the selected candidates. There was a huge round of aplause for ever name being announced. To my good luck, I was also one of the selected guys. A total of 41 candidates were selected. We were then asked to maintain our aggregate (in BE or MCA) to a 60% at the time of joining failing which, we wont be accepted.

Capgemini Placement Papper Pattern
Capgemini has generally 2-3 sets of question booklets but still try to appear in the second batch. Paper has 3 sections.
1.Quantitative 25 ques
2. Analytical 30 ques
3. Verbal ques 25 ques
The most easy section is the verbal section. Just prepare Barrons well. One or the other unsolved test papers of Barron's are replicated as it is in the papers...that means antonyms, synonyms, sentence correction .. fill in the blanks words like gaffe, contentious, altrustic, belligerent.... Quantative is so so ..i mean 60 % is easy and rest is a bit tough...go thru the geometric theorms, formulas, quadriatic and linera section well.
Analytical is the most tricker one..it's very tempting bcoz 1 paragraph may fetch you 4 correct answers...puzzles..all puzzles like 1 speaks french b speaks chinesse and english..c speaks french and ... so arrange them in a comfortable position so that they can converse with each other...other question's like a heavier then b, m heavier then i and j , k lighter then d who is d heaviest ?? so on..... 15 question's are easy but very time consuming and rest questions although seem to be easy but try avoiding to attempt all questions coz that will eat up all your time unless you are very good at analytical.....
Total questions 80
Total time 90 min's
NO UPPER CUT OFF
They say that there is no sectional cut off but still they have minimum 5 5 8 questions..

Hi Friends
I am a BE student at Kavikulguru Institue of Technology and Science, Ramtek, Nagpur. First of all, let me tell you, I never knew anything about Capgemini before I started preparing for it. If you are appearing for Capgemini campus, then I would suggest you to prepare really well, because getting into this company will be a mega booster for your career.
I think you should know the following about Capgemini:
1. Capgemini is a Europe MNC (unlike indian borne MNCs like Infosys, Wipro and all), spread in 38 countries around the globe.
2. Its a 13.8 billion $ company. Companies like infosys, satyam, wipro are not even half of Capgemini. (TCS being 7.4 bn$)
3. Its called the gurus of consulting.
4. It stands 5th the Indian IT company rankings 2008.
5. It stands 4th in the best IT consulting services company in the recent world rankings by Forbes.
6. Capgemini is a very good company for the freshers, unlike other IT firms, Capgemini stands the last when it comes to irregular firings.
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 company 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 1 hr 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 to go through all the questions by heart.
Questions are the same from the link below:
I would suggest you to go through as many Capgemini placement papers as possible. The questions are very simple. Candidates those who managed to clear the aptitude test were called for GD session.
3) Group Discussion:
All the selected candidates were divided into 13 groups of 10 students each.
The GD was being conducted simultaneously in 2 rooms. Our group got the topic "LIVE-IN RELATIONSHIP" Clearing the GD round is easy. The coordinators were really very friendly and made all the candidates relaxed. In GD, you will have to show your participation. Do open up your mouth, but at the same time, see to it that you are not disrupting others and make out a valid point atleast try to be around the point and just not beat around the bushes n blabber anything. Dont loose confidence even if you are not a very good speaker. Just give strong points, this is what matters the most. After about 1 hr the list of candidates who had cleared the GD was displayed and they were asked to report in a room for further proceedings. 60 candidates cleared the GD round.
4) Personal Interview:
There were 3 interview panels consisting of 2 members each. The interviews were going on simultaneously. The interviewer are the different ppl here ... I mean not the one in GD round..one was Preeti mam.. main HR she was there for PI n the other sir for technical.. for interview just wanna say that be very firm with your answers showing full confidence. If you dont know any answer say to them... they just asked about the dead basics of C & C++, some of Software Engg, n yes if you have gone through any project be very clear with that coz they may be asking your contribution to that... Sir also gave me to write a logic for swapping,
Try to be confident n yes keep smiling... coz it may add extra effects...
Finally the results were out... n I was the 7th to be selected... there were total 19 selections.

1. Senior cricketers should be retired now?
2. Is IPL killing test cricket?
3. Who is better - Rani Mukherjee or Kajol?
4. India - US Nuclear deal?
5. Can women be good leaders?
It was not necessary to speak a lot. Give relevant points and be a good team member.
Personal Interview: 5 people from Capgemini came to our college who divided themselves into 4 groups. i.e.Interview of 4 candidates was going on simultaneously. It depends on your luck which interviewer will take the interview. My interview was completely HR. There was not a single technical question asked. But some of my friends were asked a lot of technical questions. The questions asked from me were..
1. Tell me about urself, your family background, your achievements?
2. My 10th and 12th percentage?
3. Any back logs?
4. Any extra curricular activities?
5. What are the things you liked about Capgemini in the presentation?
6. What did you know about the Capgemini before the presentation?
7. Are you willing to work at any of the locations?

Wish you All the Best for Capgemini.

Hi Friends
This is Tej from GITAM. I got into Capgemini on 23 July 2008.
To get into Capgemini you need to first write a Written Test which consists of two sections
Quants 25 questions and Reasoning 25 questions.
There is no upper cut off and for qualifying to the next round you need to get minimum of 10 marks in each section. (1m for correct answer and -1/4 for wrong answer.)
Next we had a GD round where the topics can be chosen by the students or yet times given the HR.
the topics are quite simple like and elimination in GD was not that serious actually coz people who were not able to speak were given a chance by the HR himself and made to talk henceforth many of them got through GD.
Cell phones should be banned in college.
Congress vs BJP.
Infaltion and hike in petrol prices.
and many more all general topics.
Then HR round + TR round.
We never actually know whether we are gonna have a HR round or a TR round so be prepared for both coz ppl from both the sections are gonna come.
my HR was mainly TR and stress HR round. I answered most of the questions with ease and patience but I thought I was not doing that well coz at that point I never knew I was under stress interview.
I was asked many questions on different things and about friends.
I was continuously encountered with satires and various kinds of negative expressions.
This was just to test my patience and my reactions when under stress.
simply be calm, have a smile in your face. if you don't know something just tell him that you don't know it,
that'l help you a lot.
try to be as calm and cool as possible never loose hope when your interview is going on.
smile that is the only thing you can do when your under lots of stress.
Finally I was able to get into Capgemini.
over 600 people attempted written test and 150 got through written.
113 got through gd
and finally 70 got job.
Hi Friends
Im Rupa from Sri Venkateswara College of Engg. I m here to share my experience with you.. CAPGEMINI visited our campus on 7th of June 2008. There were totally three rounds..
1. APTITUDE TEST
2. GROUP DISCUSSION
3. HR cum TECH ROUND.
APTITUDE ROUND:
Aptitude is easy only. Just go through all the previous year Capgemini papers once.. questions may repeat again.. and just go through R.S. AGGARWAL for quants. Totally 50 questions in 1 hour.. But there is negative marking so please be careful when you answer the questions.. Dont mark the answers if you are not sure.. Think twice before you mark..
NOTE: you've to use only pens so be careful.. (shade it properly otherwise it'll be untidy). And negative marking is .25 mark... JUST BE CONFIDENT.. you can easily crack this round.. Totally 400 students appeared for aptitude but only 116 students got through aptitude round.. next is GD..
GROUP DISCUSSION:
After aptitude we all asked to split into groups.. And GD topics are given on the spot by HR's.. just chill.. Be CONFIDENT and Communicate well in GD.. At the same time you SHOULD NOT DOMINATE OTHERS.. Just come out with your ideas …JUST BE CONFIDENT…. From 116 students only 66 students were selected for next round..
HR cum TECH ROUND:
This round depends on the HR who comes in your panel… Some HR’S will ask tech questions also from your area of interest.. So be confident about the sub that you mentioned as your area of interest in your resume.. But I am very lucky.. The HR who came for our panel was so sweet.. only HR questions he asked us.
1) Tell about yourself
2) Hobbies
3) Role model
4) About your educational background..
5) Short term and long term goals…
This round will be simple only.. don't worry.. Don’t loose your patience…. DO UR BEST GOD WILL DO THE REST..
Finally out of 66 students they selected 47 from our college… I was the one among those 47 students…. I am very glad to be a part of this excellent company…. Capgemini visited our campus for the first time so it was excellent they recruited 47 students from our college… We are very proud to be an product of SVCE… and going to be a part of Capgemini.. I WISH ALL THE SUCCESS TO U ALL..
My only advice is be confident, have patience.. and hope for the best …ALL THE VERY BEST… DO WELL..

HR : one puzzle HR : Atlast they told to me to ask any question Finally they selected 20 students from our college & I am one of them. Hi Friends I am Charchika Shukla, student of NIT Raipur. I got placed in "CAPGEMINI" on 5th August 2008. It was a wonderful experience. That day first of all the company's representatives gave a Powerpoint Presentation, as it was the first software company to vsit our college all of us were very excited, I and some of my frnz had come with an attitude that just lets see what happens, we were not very sure, so it was like a rehearsel for us. the presentation was good, they told us abt their cmpny n all. You must check out a few details like CEO, locations, origin etc. about the cmpny, it helps. After ppt we were to sit for the written test. It was easy, there were 2 sections - Apti n LR. There were 3 different sets of the paper. Questions wre of the type specified in many of the papers on this site. 50 qs n 1 hr time. they had told us a cutt off of 10 qs in each section. I had solved 12-13 qs of apti and around 18-20 qs of LR. After about 1 n a hlf hr results were declard n to my surprise my name was there!! total 120 students were selectd. Next round GD. With my frnz help I prepared some current topics like "Nuclear deal", "terrorism" n a few abstract topics like "black" etc. they had divided 120 ppl in 10 grps each of 12 members. Then came my turn- n luckily I got the topic Nuclear deal. My panel gave us 2 min. to think abt the topic. as I had prpd it, so I decided anyhow I have to "initiate" the topic, as it yields most points and was just looking at them for start signal n as soon as I got it I just grabbed the opportunity n successfully initiated the topic - "gud afternoon all of u, I m so n so n our topic of discussion is ...." . One important thing that I learnt was - a persn must be confident while speaking, must raise the volume if he/she is not getting the chance to speak, becoz nobody is going to give u chance to speak, n at the same must listen to others attentively, make eye contact wid ur grp members it shows ur confidence n projects u as a facilitator who helps others to speak. I did all this. n also, if possible try to make urself comfortable with ur grp members if u know their names, before the discussion as it helps u to win frnz n hence good n familiar grp members to discuss with. neways, results were out n as I thought - I had a chance, I was one of the 3 students selectd from our grp of 12 students. total 74 students. So, I was in for the final round - the tech+ hr interview. It was really a mix of feelings- I was excited at the same tme a bit nervous abt the interview as I had not prpd well my technical subjects like Operating System, N/wking etc. n rest of the subjects like DS, C, C++ I had not touched them for the last week, but ya, I was done with my project works which I had done genuinely. So before goin to interview I had some 2 hrs, so I just brushed up some of the basic concepts n all. I was abt to be called on 27th no. but to my surprise, my name was called around 7:15 pm nearly 1/2 an hr earlier. I was not at all prepared, I just picked up my file from smwhere n a pen, lended by my frnd n rushed in. There were 4 panels. I was sent to a single person panel. His name was Mr. Shabreesh Menon. So I jst entered n wished him gudevning sir. He too wished me n askd me to sit. n he askd me the meaning of my name. H told. he then asked me to give me a brief intro of myself. I did. then he askd me abt my projects. I told. then askd me abt my fav subject. I told. nxt q was why did I chose to pursue MCA. I told. then he gave me a really easy puzzle. I answrd. he then askd why shall they choose me over others. I told hard work, sincere with an eg to support. then he finally askd me if I had any constraints regarding the place if I get placed. I said no. He then said ok, it was nice meeting u and did a handshake. I said - "same here sir" with a smile. and I left. I thought I had a chance, for the first time in the whole day it came to my mind- I dnt want to go home empty handed now. As I was the first one to be called of our class so evry one jst asked me abt the interview. finally, the results were abt to be out... Finally our (girls candidates, as it was getting late) results wre out - n my name was there!!! frm our class 7 girls n 4 bys have been selectd!!! Just, one thing be confident n take evry thing lightly, i.e dont be tensed n have faith in the god. n u will do it...

I dont know whether these section carries negative marking or not!!! 2) GROUP DISCUSSION In GD they give quite general topics like "WHY INDIA IS LAGGING IN OLYMPICS", "IS IT NECCESARY TO GO TO FOREIGN FOR EDUCATION". 3) INTERVIEW In interview they covered almost all topics. For me they asked so many questions on DB2 SQL and about my project. Some questions on physics also. Concentrate more on COBOL. why bcoz in our paper COBOL is some what tougher when compared to others. Gothrough the project before going to interview and also prepare your own feedback questions. The questions what you ask them will also give some impression. I asked these questions, (i) what about the training for the selected candidates? (ii) How this company will help the emplyoes to improve their technical stuff? (iii)In which areas I have to improve yet? thats it.... Results were anounced, the next day. I am very happy to say that I got placed in CAPGEMINI. Hi Friends This is omkar from D.M.C.E, Airoli, Navi Mumbai. Cap Gemini visited our college on 4th September 2008. Well let me tell u about myself, before CAPGEMINI I cleared 5 aptitude test, 1 GD, 4 TR and 3 HR and then too I was not selected. So u can think me as an experience candidate for placement) but I think my destiny was in cap Gemini. the overall procedure for the placement was as follows:- 1) U r required to fill an admit card for the online aptitude test. The online aptitude test consist of 2 sections of 50 questions. 1) Quantitative (1 to 25) 2) Logical (26 to 50). Time limit:-60 min. There was no negative marking. There was sectional cutoff. Quantities section consist of following question *) how many prime numbers r between 1 to 100? (ans :-25 (1 is not prime)) *) a problem on speed, distance, time like superman flies at 25mph, spiderman flies at15mph and phantom take 2 hrs to fly from NY to DC. If speed of spiderman is twice that of phantom and distance between NY to DC is same as distance between NY to Washington (I don't remember it well) there where couple of question like *) what is the distance between NY and DC? *) how long will superman take to travel from dc to Washington and back? *) I donno remember the 3rd ? *) the largest no between (7)-(2),(3)+(4),2*(2),6+(2)(X)=square root of X *) Arrange some numbers in descending order? If u want to crack quantitative section u have to do following section well ;- 1-numbers (5 question) 2-average(2) 3-speed, distance(5) 4-simple compound interest(2) 5-profit and loss(3) 6-progression (2) Logical Section consist of following question;- *) a problem on if it rains on Wednesday it will rain on Friday and so on and 5 questions based on the data (the question on the data were scattered all around the paper i.e 1st question was no 26,2nd was no 30,3rd was 32,4th was 36,and 5th was 38) (easy) *) a problem on playground i.e A,B,C,D want to play on ground P,Q,R,S.A plays on p and Q. B on Q & R. C on Q and S.5 question where asked on the data (easy) *) a 5 question on relation i.e A is D mom. B is E mom. F is C son. B is G aunt(not sure). And some more data was given Let me tell u, the logical question was much easy than quantitative. So first attempt logical and then quantitative. don't go for solving all question of logical; solve 15 questions of logical then go for quantitative since quantitative is difficult and there was sectional cut off. Keep last 5 minutes for guessing the answers of the remaining question. In our college out of 80, 20 was selected for interview (since less students qualified, they cancelled the GD section and directly took the interview) Well there were 2 interviews (TR and HR) My TR interview went like this I - good evening sir. Interviewer - good evening Omkar. how was ur day? I - fine sir ? Interviewer:- well Omkar tell me about you. I - (this is the main part. mention ur name, birth date, birth place, academic's 10th, 12th B.E, the order of mentioning should be ascending, don't directly start from ur B.E, also mention ur hobbies, which u pursued in 10, 12 and B.E, also mention achievement if any) Interviewer - well do u have any idea about DBMS (if u r comp or IT u should know what it is?) I - yes. Interviewer - can u develop database relation schema for a movie theatre (since I mention my hobby as WATCHING MOVIES) I - I did as he told; he in fact helped me to develop the database. Interviewer - what do u mean by normalization? I - explained with an example and also told about 1NF, 2NF, 3NF etc Interviewer - any liking for programming languages? I - 'C' programming language. Interviewer - he asked me to write a program (only logic, no emphasis on syntax) for Fibonacci series (really a piece of cake) Interviewer - asked me about my project work for current year? I - explained about my project in detailed (he was really impressed by my presentation of project). Interviewer - asked question about my project? Interviewer - do u have any question? I - sir, can u give me details of the bond we have to sign while joining? Interviewer - explained? Interviewer - well Omkar thank u? (he got up for shaking hand, tat's a sign u r on right track, I left the room and after some time I got call for HR interview. the trick for clearing TR is be honest for most times, if u donno know some answer, tell him frankly tat "u can't recollect it", if u have some knowledge tell him what u know about it and last add "tats all I can remember, sir") My HR Interview went like this:- Interviewer:-u may sit Omkar. I - thank u sir. Interviewer - tell me about ur self? I - same as above Interviewer - what about ur family background? I - told him. Interviewer - which technology r u aiming for career and why? I - sir, JAVA becoz it's an ever expanding, branching language, like JSP, JAVA net beans, JAKARTA STRUTS etc (added something about the features about JAVA) Interviewer - where do u see ur self 5 years from now? I - leading a group of 5-10 people in an I.T firm probably a project leader. Interviewer - do u know any recent news about the booming IT sector? (since I mentioned my hobby as newspaper reading) I - no sir my special liking is for world politics, and technology. sir not really interested in business. Interviewer- ok. any problem shifting to other locations? I - no. Interviewer - well thank u omkar ? I - thank u sir. I waited for 2 hours outside and finally 7 people went for HR interview (I was one of them) out of 20 selected they told me that results of those who gave HR will be out next day the rest r rejected. while rest went home dejected I was nervous whether I will be selected or not. on next day results were out (they mailed the result to our training and placement officer) out of 7, 4 were selected and I was one of them! finally! Hi Friends I m Sanjeet Sinha, a final year student of PCEA, Nagpur. I'm here to share my experience of the selection procedure conducted by CAPGEMINI on 29th july, 2008. We had to face 3 rounds- (a) Aptitude Test (b) Group Discussion (c) Personal interview(Tech+HR) There was 50 questions in the Aptitude test :: 25 questions on Quantitative & other 25 questions were Logical analysis. The questions were easy but a little time consuming. Mainly the questions were from-time and dist, profit and loss, speed and distance, and the logical part was of general common sense we can practice it from R.S.Agarwal. As i told u that the papers were easy but time consuming hence Time management was the key part for solving the paper and also look for the previous year questions. They declared a cut off of 10 marks from each sec, so it was 20 in total. About 400 students appeared for the aptitude, out of which 129 cleared the aptitude test including me. The next round was GD. A group of 10 studnts were made. It was a wonderful experience to all of us. we got the topic "should youth enter into the politics". It was a good topic to discuss and it happened the same. we had a good discussion of the topic and almost each of the member contributed more or less at their best. And out of 9 students from our group, 5 including me were selected. In total they selected 63 candidate for final round i,e the personal interview. The PI included both tecnical as well as HR. In tech they asked que from the branch u belonged and some basic knowlege of C language. After a long time I was called for the PI. It was almost 9 of the evening, I entered the cabin. I know what's the amount of pressure a candidate have on him, whenever he appears for an interview, & how was the feelings of being rejected one after another times. It was nice to giving an interview in a friendly atmosphere they created. I was asked to tell about myself, the respected madam who was taking my interview asked me from the points I mentioned to tell about myself. They asked me about the aptitute test and which part I felt easy?. I replied that both parts were good but I cud attempt more que from quanti. Next I was asked to tell my weakness and stengths. Next I was asked that although u r from mech engg. then why do want to join IT sector, I replied that due to my less marks in entrance test I cudn't get diff branch thogh I had a lot of interest in computers from the very beginning... Next I was asked if i had any query.. I replied that if I m selected wat more courses shud I had to study before joining the company? Next they asked me about my place of preferences?... I peplied that place dosen't matter for me, the quality which I provide to the company that matters much for me.. I want to share something with you, it was the 8th interview, I was appeared for. Previously I've rejected 7 times, but still I didn't give up. I want to say you people must have confidence upon yourself, that's the thing with which you can win, never become hopeless. So please try to be confident, always try to answer promptly, don't go for any false representation, as it reflects on your expression,& have faith on yourself---that's the key to crack. Don't get me wrong, you may have feel that I'm giving too many advises that are useless, but I'm telling you, whatever I've said here, all are my own experiences. I personally believe that "failure is tha pillar of success", & YES, I'VE PROVED IT BY MYSELF, I'VE CRACKED CAPGEMINI, the renowned IT company in the industry. The final result listed 41 candidates who are finally selected, & I feel very proud to be 1 of those 41. Hi Friends first of all I thank all the members of this forum for posting such useful messages, which helped me a lot and following is my interview pattern which held in Anna University, Coimbatore on 15th August Basically there were three rounds 1. Written 2. GD 3. Tech+HR Written * 2 sections were there (25 Apps + 25 Verbal) * its very easy one, but the problem is negative marking (-0.25). * Go through all the previous papers * dont attend everything, there is maximum cut off I think so * its better to get between 25-30 * its an elimination round. nearly 1600 ppls only 150 are shortlisted. GD * its not a problem, if u have basic communcation skill. * my gd topic was.. why is america dominating the world, and my frnd's topics were Is senior players required in indian cricket team, IT vs non-IT. (be updated with current events). * its not an elimination round, out of 150 nearly 110 were selected. TECH+HR * be frank, don try to confuse, be clear with basic concepts of IT and some simple programs (swap, palindrome, string reverse.....). * for me it lasts for 30 minutes. HR was very friendly. * if u donno the answer say him frankly, be bold and confident. * u can expect basic qns like temme abt urslf, y capgemini, strength and weakness. * i was asked to answer this qn "u are a team leader, ur project deadline is today and u r not able to finish it, at this situation wat will u do ?" * dress neatly, shave ur beard, be professional. * basic communication skill is the main aspect here. * out of 110->80 were selected finally.
p.s: since they need 10,000+ professionals by 2010, if u clear the written and u hv a basic tech & comm skil, there is no doubt that u r an employee of CG.

After 1st round written test short listed candidates are 35. And next we had GD. In this round 25 got short listed. Then we had TEHNICAL/HR interview.... its went for me almost for more than 40 min.... its a stress interview.. But it went COOL!!!
After this round 20 got selected.
So... i want to share my feelings and the procedure of the all the rounds how i felt it.
ROUND 1: Written Test : Two sections
Section A : 25 questions (Quantitative)
Simple ... and most of the questions were repeated from previous papers (its MUST ... MUST .......SOLVE).I didn't solve them but any ways I got it. BE CAREFUL while answering there will be a NEGATIVE MARKING of 1/4 for each ques if wrong.
Section B : 25 questions (verbal+logical)

PREVIOUS PAPERS (very important) out of 650-700.....35 made it to the next round.
NOTE: For section B must solve R.S. AGARWAL (VERBAL +NON-VERBAL)
ROUND 2: Group Discussion
tips: think carefully & speak what the topic demands....
give others a chance to express their views......
"GD is not all about speaking...a good listener is also a Group participant"
we have given a topic on " IS GD NECESSARY FOR ELIMINATION "
out of 35....25 were selected.
ROUND 3: Technical Round & HR ROUND:
There were 6 panels for this round.
in some panels they gave a choice of which U want TR/HR.
BUT I faced ... BOTH TR and HR
BASICS of every subjects (C,C++,JAVA,DATA STRUCTURES).
***CODING in Dynamic dispatcher, pointers, arrays, structures, Union and LINKED LIST.
AND HR went COOL !!! but he will test Ur patience .... so always BE COOL and ANSWER with SMILING FACE.

2. Tell me about UR self and FAMILY BACKGROUND.
3. In what AREAS you have improved till now?
4.STRENGTHS?
5.WEAKNESS?
6.Why only Capgemini? why not any other MNC?
7.What You Like About Capgemini?

and the last question is:
8. Any questions?
U must ask questions atleast 2....... it shows how U show UR interest for their company.

so...must ask....:)
On the whole its a Stress Interview.......... But it went COOL!!!
Important: Though he confuses u...... U must "HAVE A SMILE on UR face". And basic Programming skills are required for Technical Round.
NOTE: **1.ALWAYS HAVE A "SMILE" ON UR FACE in INTERVIEW and GD.
**2.Be "CONFIDENT" on what U R saying.
**3. Speak Loudly and Clearly.
**4. Don't use the word ... "CONFUSED" always Use "I will IMPROVE" and " I am CONFIDENT" sir.
Last but not least...... I want to say to all my friends.......
" DONT GET DISAPPOINTED.. IF U don't get now..... SOME BEST COMPANY IS AWAITING FOR U"
ALL THE BEST :)

---> releasing new points when deviation in team observed
like organisation of events like sports & freshers meet to have healthy interaction among them
---> made the team to run on my words & ultimately gaining trust from them to my point
---> good body language;evoking points like by frequent get-togethers with sr's jr's can acquire academic knowledge efficiently & faster than single one's...

Hi Friends
My name is Keyur. I recently appeared for Capgemini, it is a very good company. they are giving a package of 2.73lac. On 19th we had the aptitude test, then on 20th we had a GD round. After that there is technical cum HR round.
Aptitude test was of 1hr online test and it consists of 25 questions in analytical section and 25 questions in logical section.
Analytical section was tough and is very time consuming. u can refer R.S.Agrawal quantitive for this section. do that book very seriously try to give more stress on speed, distance, time, ages, simplification, permutation and combination chapters. but note that u dond waste much time in this section dont give more then 35 min to this section.
Logical is quite easy and u can score good points in this section. u can refer (R.S.Agrawal logical reasoning) for this section. do the puzzle test and data sufficiency chapters very perfectly bcoz most of the questions were from this 2 chapters. I think doing only this 2 chapters is enough.
I was not able to clear the apti and the cut off was not disclosed. may be it was around 30 right questions.
Next round was GD round many of my friends cleared it and went for tech cum HR round.

Hi Friends
I'm Aniruddha Ghosh, a 3rd year engineering student of Bengal Institute of Technology, Kolkata. I'm here to share my xperience of the capussing procedure conducted by CAPGEMINI on 24th April 2007.
We had to face 4 rounds-
a) Aptitude Test
b) Group Discussion
c) Technical Interview
d) HR interview
There was 50 questions in the aptitude test, 25 questions on quantitative & other 25 questions were logical analysis. There was no such questions either on verbal or technical ability. The questions were standard, not very easy, but not at all tough, a little bit time-taking.
Mainly the quanti questions were on basic--profit & loss, interest, fractions, speed...etc.The logical questions were on common sense, very ordinary logical questions followed by any book like R.S.Agarwal. The time management is the main key to solve the paper as per my point of view.
Total 116 candidates appeared for aptitude test, only 45 cleared the aptitude test including me.
The next round was GD. It was a wonderful experience to all of us. We have given "Lage raho Munnabhai---what's the social impact of that well admired movie". It was a very good topic to discuss, nearly all of us contribute more or less as their level best. I initiated the GD & my friends also spoke well. 9 people out of 11 were selected from our group.
In total they selected 36 candidates for technical interview. The moderator of our group was very friendly & he gave us enough time to discuss. Before starting the GD he said that--"nothing to worry about, it's just a formal discussion", which was a big relief to all of us.
In technical Interview they asked very basic questions from our semester subjects. Specially C, DS, DBMS, Networking, OS, OOP & Microprocessor. CS & IT people please make urself comfortable with your departmental subjects, if possible Please go through Microprocessor also. They ask from here also. As I'm a student of IT department, I'm giving u the brief of my interview, but I've heard from my friends of ECE department, they were asked from their departmental subjects also.
I was asked to tell the respected interviewer the names of my past 2 semester's subjects. He listened those carefully & asked questions from those subjects, I've mentioned earlier. Some questions was like---basic features of OOP-discuss, normalization, OS handling, basic questions on OS, OSI layer-little discussion, link lists, sorting & last but not the least I was asked to write the algo of Quicksort & some other questions also there, that I can't remember now. But over all there was no such contradictory questions, they never counter with your answer.
There were only 18 candidates including me cleared the technical round.
After some time I was called for HR interview. It was nice to giving an interview in a friendly atmosphere they created. I was asked to tell about myself, the respected madam who was taking my interview asked me from the points I mentioned to tell about myself. She asked me ---"what do u mean by optimism?", "how can you prove that you are optimistic?", "what do u know about software industry?", strengths, weaknesses. Finally asked me to question her about my confusions if any.
I want to share something with you, it was the 6th interview, I was appeared for. Previously I've rejected 5 times, but still I didn't give up. I want to say you people must have confidence upon yourself, that's the thing with which you can win, never become hopeless. I know what's the amount of pressure a candidate have on him, whenever he appears for an interview & how was the feelings of being rejected one after another times.
So please try to be confident, always try to answer promptly, don't go for any false representation, as it reflects on your expression & have faith on yourself---that's the key to crack.
The final result listed only 9 candidates who are finally selected & I feel very proud to be 1 of those 9.

S L I D E
(-) D E A N
---------------------------------
3 6 5 1
each of 7 digits from 1,2,3,4,5,6 & 9 is represented by letter in the subtraction of problem above.
Q7. (a) Which letter is represented by the number "3"
Solution:-
3 6 5 1
(+) D E A N
-----------------------------------
S L I D E
It is given in the question that each of 7 digits 1,2,3,4,5, 6 & 9 is represented by a. Different letter in the above problem it is clear that 3+D+carry [If any] is equal to SL. But as it is clear that highest sum of there given no. can be (9+6+1)=16 so S = 1
Now it is also clear that D is either 6 or 9 but D cannot be 6, because in that case L, is equal to 0, which is not possible.
So D = 9
Now from that it is clear that L Letter is either 2 or 3 & A=4, It is also clear that E cannot be equal to 5,4,3,2,1
So E=6
Now we can help of above conclusions.
Ans. to question no.
(a) = L
(b) Which letter is represented by the no "5" ? Ans (b) N
(c) Which no is presented by the letter "E" ? Ans. (d) 6
(d) Which letter is presented by the no "6" Ans. E

Hi Friends
This is Samrat here.. I am sharing my experiences abt the CAPGEMINI recruitment held at KIIT, Bhubaneswar on 4th June.
As u guys would b knowing this year the test pattern of CAPGEMINI is Aptitude(25) and Reasoning(25).. Then followed by GD, Technical (mainly HR based and puzzles) and HR..
The apti part was very easy. actually questions are being repeated. The same question that came in BIT, Kolkata came here.. So I would suggest all the aspirants to solve the papers given properly. In our college 300 students sat for the paper. Out of it 120 cleared written. Then came the GD part..
Topics like -East or West which is the land of opportunities and Gandhigiri or Dadagiri were given. In our college we had 50 B.Tech and 70 MCA 's qulaified for written... There were 5 B.Tech GD group and 7 MCA groups each consisting of 10. So out of it 51 cleared GD.. My topic was Lagey Raho Munnabhai and its impact in modern days. I cleared GD..
Then came the Technical or Management round.. In this round either you would be asked some HR queestions like Tell Me about Yourself or some cases would be given to you and you have to get the best possible answers.. They gave me a puzzle from Shakuntala Devi and told me to complete it in 30 secs. I confidently did it in 20 secs. And they would also be askin you abt ur Hobbies and details on them.. Then I was told to wait outside for HR round..
Friends remember in Capgemini every person has to undergo thru TECH and HR.. They evaluate you on your total performance starting from written marks, GD, Tech qualities and HR...
Then in my HR round i had to face the HR Head of Kolkata--VANDANA mam. She asked me on why I joined Capgemini inspite of there being so many big companies like TCS, CTS, etc.
Then asked abt my projects in details.. Then asked me on my hobbies, Extracurricular activities.. A situation was given to me how I should overcome it with the best possible outcomes. like that..and then asked questions like Why i joined KIIT, Bbsr apart from having joined in an Engineering college in Kolkata (I am from KOL so shes asked this).. Like this..i was so confident with the answers that my HR was pleased.. It was a 20 mins Interview.. Then she finally asked me if I have any questions for her. I asked her some like what a company expects from the freshers and wat subject a fresher should be acquainted with properly b4 joining a company and like dat.. Then she told me it was over and I had to wait outside for results. Finally when results came out at 12 am ..i was lucky to find my name in the 5th call... What they said was they marked a person totally starting from Written GD, Tech, HR..mine was the 5th rank out of the 300.. After having failed to even clear the written in WIPRO, MINDTREE, L&T INFOTECH I was really very depressed and now i ve cleared CAPGEMINI --a MNC wow!!
I really bleive to get recruited u really need 70 percent luck.. They offered package of 2.75 but it woudl be revised to 3.3 lacs/annum...
Hi Friends
We had Capgemini as ON Campus at our college. It was scheduled to start by 2:30 but took some more time to start off. The basic thing was that it was an ONLINE TEST. The same day CapGemini had been to CVRCE where they had written test in the form of pen and paper.
We were given a registration no and that regn no was our id and password to login. they had a fake test for 5 min to make the students acquainted with their question pattern. after that the test began. Believe me friends maximum of the questions were repeated frm the last questions papers which are quoted on this web site. Not even a single data had changed. maximum of the questions were from the previous papers. Aptitude part was easy and RS Aggrawal is more than sufficient. reasoning part demanded the maximum time and one should be tricky in attending those coz this part asks for most of the time. total were 50 questions which were to be attended in 60 min. Time counter was running on computer, so a single more second could not be availed. as soon as 1 hour will be reached then immediately the page will be refreshed and the current profile will be logged out. So please be time efficient.

APTITUDE TEST
GD
TECHNICAL
HR
Aptitude test was the main elimination round. Out of 116 candidates 44 was selected. The topic for our GD was "The present status of our cricket team". The GD round went very well and all 12 members were selected.
The technical was a bit tough. Be prepared with one of your favorite subject. Questions were from C, C++, DBMS, O.S.
EX:
Define pointer.
What is Null pointer?
Algo for bobble sort, binary search
Basic questions of C++. like class, polymorphism...
Normalization-3NF, BCNF...
HR ques are also asked in this round.
Finally HR round which is very easy. 18 candidates cleared technical out of which 9 were selected. The results were declared on 15th May. so all had to wait with great tention.
My only advice is be confident, have patience.. and hope for the best.

CAPGEMINI PLACEMENT PAPER ON 5th August 2008 (Pattern)
Hello all job aspirants, i am charchika shukla, student of NIT Raipur.I got placed in "CAPGEMINI" on 5th August 2008.It was a wonderful experience.
That day first of all the company's representatives gave a Powerpoint Presentation of their company , as it was the first software company to vsit our college all of us were very excited , i and some of my frnz had come with an attitude that just lets see what happens,we were not very sure, so it was like a rehearsel for us. the presentation was good,they told us abt their cmpny n all.You must check out a few details like CEO,locations,origin etc. about the cmpny,it helps.
After ppt we were to sit for the written test.it was easy , there were 2 sections - apti n LR. there were 3 different sets of the paper.questions wre of the type specified in many of the papers on this site.50 qs n 1 hr time.they had told us a cutt off of 10 qs in each section.i had solved 12-13 qs of apti and around 18-20 qs of LR. i had given the test with " lets see what happens" hope., after about 1 n a hlf hr results were declard n to my surprise my name was there!! total 120 students were selectd .i thought " oh my god !i will have to prepare for next round GD" as i had not prpd for it at all.so with my frnz help i prepared some current topics like "Nuclear deal" , "terrorism" n a few abstract topics like "black" etc. they had divided 120 ppl in 10 grps each of 12 members.
Then came my turn- n luckily i got the topic Nuclear deal.my panel gave us 2 min. to think abt the topic.as i had prpd it ,so i decided anyhow i have to "initiate" the topic, as it yields most points and was just looking at them for start signal n as soon as i got it i just grabbed the opportunity n successfully initiated the topic - "gudafternoon all of u,i m so n so n our topic of discussion is ...." . one important thing that i learnt was - a persn must be confident while speaking, must raise the volume if he/she is not getting the chance to speak, becoz nobody is going to give u chance to speak , n at the same must listen to others attentively, make eye contact wid ur grp members it shows ur confidence n projects u as a facilitator who helps others to speak. i did all this. n also , if possible try to make urself comfortable with ur grp members if u know their names, before the discussion as it helps u to win frnz n hence good n familiar grp members to discuss with.
So , i was in for the final round - the tech+ hr interview. it was really a mix of feelings- i was excited at the same tme a bit nervous abt the interview as i had not prpd well my technical subjects like Operating System, N/wking etc. n rest of the subjects like DS,C,C++ i had not touched them for the last week , but ya , i was done with my project works which i had done genuinely. so before goin to interview i had some 2 hrs , so i just brushed up some of the basic concepts n all .
I was abt to be called on 27 th no. but to my surprise, my name was called around 7:15 pm nearly 1/2 an hr earlier.i was not at all prepared , i just picked up my file from smwhere n a pen, lended by my frnd n rushed in.
There were 4 panels . I was sent to a single person panel.His name was Mr. Shabreesh Menon.
So i jst entered n wished him gudevning sir.he too wished me n askd me to sit.n he askd me the meaning of my name. i told.he then asked me to give me a brief intro of myself.i did. then he askd me abt my projects.i told. then askd me abt my fav subject.i told. nxt q was why did i chose to pursue MCA.i told. then he gave me a really easy puzzle.i answrd.he then askd why shall they choose me over others.i told hard work,sincere with an eg to support.then he finally askd me if i had any constraints regarding the place if i get placed.i said no.
He then said ok,it was nice meeting u and did a handshake.i said - "same here sir"with a smile. and i left.
I thought i had a chance,for the first time in the whole day it came to my mind- i dnt want to go home empty handed now. as i was the first one t be called of our class so evry one jst asked me abt the interview.finally, the results were abt to be out
CAPGEMINI PLACEMENT PAPER ON 4th SEPTEMBER 2008 (Pattern)
This is omkar from D.M.C.E ,airoli, navi Mumbai. Cap Gemini visited our college on 4th September 2008.well let me tell u about myself, before CAPGEMINI I cleared 5 aptitude test ,1 GD ,4 TR and 3 HR and then too I was not selected. So u can think me as an experience candidate for placement) but I think my destiny was in cap Gemini . the overall procedure for the placement was as follows:-
The online aptitude test consist of 2 sections of 50 questions.
1) Quantitative (1 to 25)
2) Logical (26 to 50).
Time limit:-60 min.
There was no negative marking. There was sectional cutoff.
Quantities section : consist of following question
*) how many prime numbers r between 1 to 100? (ans :-25 (1 is not prime))
*)a problem on speed ,distance, time like superman flies at 25mph, spiderman flies at15mph and phantom take 2 hrs to fly from NY to DC. If speed of spiderman is twice that of phantom .and distance between NY to DC is same as distance between NY to Washington (I don't remember it well) there where couple of question like
*) what is the distance between NY and DC?
*) how long will superman take to travel from dc to Washington and back?
*) I donno remember the 3rd ?
*)the largest no between (7)-(2),(3)+(4),2*(2),6+(2)(X)=square root of X
*)Arrange some numbers in descending order?
I will tell u guys if u want to crack quantitative section u have to do following section well ;-
1-numbers (5 question)
2-average(2)
3-speed ,distance(5)
4-simple compound interest(2)
5-profit and loss(3)
6-progression (2)
Logical section : consist of following question;-
*)a problem on if it rains on Wednesday it will rain on Friday and so on and 5 questions based on the data (the question on the data were scattered all around the paper i.e 1st question was no 26,2nd was no 30,3rd was 32,4th was 36,and 5th was 38) (easy)
*)a problem on playground i.e A,B,C,D want to play on ground P,Q,R,S.A plays on p and Q. B on Q & R. C on Q and S.5 question where asked on the data (easy)
*)a 5 question on relation i.e A is D mom. B is E mom. F is C son. B is G aunt(not sure).
And some more data was given Let me tell u friends the logical question was much easy than quantitative .so first attempt logical and then quantitative. don't go for solving all question of logical solve 15 questions of logical then go for quantitative since quantitative is difficult and there was sectional cut off. Keep last 5 minutes for guessing the answers of the remaining question.
In our college out of 80, 20 was selected for interview (since less student qualified, they cancelled the GD section and directly took the interview)
Well there were 2 interviews (TR and HR) My HR interview went like this

Paper : Capgemini Latest Job Interview Placement Paper At Nagpur
Hi Capgemini Aspirants,
I am a MCA student at G.H. Raisoni Institute of Information Technology, Nagpur. First of all, let me tell you, I never knew anything about Capgemini before I started preparing for it. If you are appearing for Capgemini campus, then I would suggest you to prepare really well, because getting into this company will be a booster for your career.
I think you should know the following about Capgemini:
1. Capgemini is a Europe multinational (unlike indian borne MNCs like Infosys, Wipro and all), spread in 38 countries around the globe.
2. Its a 13.8 billion $ company. Companies like infosys,satyam,wipro are not even half of Capgemini.(TCS being 7.4 bn$)
3. Its called the gurus of consulting .
4. It stands 5th the Indian IT company rankings 2008.
5. It stands 4th in the best IT consulting services company in the recent world rankings by Forbes.
6. Capgemini is a very good company for the freshers, unlike other IT firms ,Capgemini stands the last when it comes to irregular firings. Capgemini came for a
Campus recruitment drive on Jul 29th, 2008. It was a closed campus, comprising of two colleges (G.H. Raisoni and PCEA). Around 500 (BE + MCA) students appeared for the campus.
The criteria was:
1. For BE: 60% in BE till date & no active backlogs.
2. For MCA: 60% in MCA 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). 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). I think this helps a lot.
So, I will suggest you to mug up all the questions by heart that I am giving with their answers.
QUANTITATIVE:
1. Find min value of fn: |-5-x| + |2-x|+|6-x|+10-x|; where x is an integer
0 17 23 19
2. units digit in expansion os 2 raised to 51 is:
2 4 6 8
3. 2 men at same tym start walking towards each other from A n B 72 kms apart. sp of A is 4kmph.Sp of B is 2 kmph in 1st hr,2.5 in 2nd, 3 in rd. n so onwhen will they meet i in 7 hrs ii at 35 kms from A iii in 10 hrs iv midway

None of the above I would suggest you to go through as many Capgemini placement papers as possible. The questions are very simple. Even if you are not very good at aptitude, you can make it. Just be cool and imply your brain. After the aptitude test, the results were displayed after around 2 hrs. 129 candidates managed to clear the aptitude test and were called for GD session.
3) Group Discussion:
All the selected candidates were divided into 13 groups of 10 students each.
The GD was being conducted simultaneously in 3 rooms. Our group got the topic "Should GDs be included in selection procedures?" Clearing the GD round is easy. The coordinators were really very friendly and made all the candidates relaxed. In GD, you will have to show your participation. Do open up your mouth, but at the same time, see to it that you are not disrupting others. Dont loose confidence even if you are not a very good speaker. Just give strong points, thisz what matters the most. After about 1hr the list of candidates who had cleared the GD was displayed and they were asked to report in a room for further proceedings. 60 candidates cleared the GD round.
4) Personal Interview:
There were 3 interview panels consisting of 2 members each. The interviews were going on simultaneously. I was the third one to be called.
Me: Good evening Sir, Ma'am.
Interviewers: GE, please sit. How was ur day?
Me: Great. We had pretty good time, selection procedure was punctal.
Int: But the guy before you was saying that he is too much tired and having head ache..?
Me: It was a good day for me Sir, I am used to such schedule. (Actually they were testing if the candidate can spend long working hrs or not. Please be very positive in your answers.)
Int: How was the aptitude test.
Me: It was good. Not very tough.
Iv: Is it so because you guys got a lot of chance to cheat and ask answers from your friends?
Me: No Sir, I didnt seek anybody else's help and did all my paper of my own. If you wish, I am ready to solve it all again in front of you.
Int: (very happy) Very Good. I like your confidence. (It was a direct fire. Keep cool under such conditions and try to give good and positive answers that show your confidence against such questions.) Then I was asked technical questions: whats printf, scanf in C? Was asked to write a program that sorts both a character array as well as an integer array. (I wrote the logic) What is type casting? Memory taken by diff data-types etc. Being a MCA candidate, although I was well prepered for DBMS, Operating System, Data Structures questions, I was seldomly asked about them. Then the lady asked me a question from the aptitude paper and asked me to solve it (she didnt give me the full data).
I told her I need more data to solve it. She insisted that it can be solved with that much data only but I knew it wasnt so, so I kept sticking to my point. Then she asked me a couple of puzzles. I dont know how I performed, but I think they see your approach to solving the problem. Further, the gentleman asked me about my hobbies, my family etc.
We discussed arout 2-3 minutes about my father's work (an armyman). Finally, they asked me for my CV, a photograph, photo-copies of all my marksheets from Std 10th till MCA. Me: It was a very great time with you Sir. Iv: Same here Amit. Good Luck. My interview ran for about 30 minutes. Be cool and confident during the interview. If you are confident and have good communication skills, there are strong chances that you may be selected.
All the interviews were over by 10:15pm and we waited very eagerly for the results. We were asked to assemble in a room where the HR, Preety Ma'am came on the stage to announce the name of the selected candidates. There was a huge round of aplause for ever name being announced. To my good luck, I was also one of the selected guys. A total of 41 candidates were selected. We were then asked to maintain our aggregate (in BE or MCA) to a 60% at the time of joining failing which, we wont be accepted.

Capgemini Placement Papper Pattern
Capgemini has generally 2-3 sets of question booklets but still try to appear in the second batch. Paper has 3 sections.
1.Quantitative 25 ques
2. Analytical 30 ques
3. Verbal ques 25 ques
The most easy section is the verbal section. Just prepare Barrons well. One or the other unsolved test papers of Barron's are replicated as it is in the papers...that means antonyms, synonyms, sentence correction .. fill in the blanks words like gaffe, contentious, altrustic, belligerent.... Quantative is so so ..i mean 60 % is easy and rest is a bit tough...go thru the geometric theorms, formulas, quadriatic and linera section well.
Analytical is the most tricker one..it's very tempting bcoz 1 paragraph may fetch you 4 correct answers...puzzles..all puzzles like 1 speaks french b speaks chinesse and english..c speaks french and ... so arrange them in a comfortable position so that they can converse with each other...other question's like a heavier then b, m heavier then i and j , k lighter then d who is d heaviest ?? so on..... 15 question's are easy but very time consuming and rest questions although seem to be easy but try avoiding to attempt all questions coz that will eat up all your time unless you are very good at analytical.....
Total questions 80
Total time 90 min's
NO UPPER CUT OFF
They say that there is no sectional cut off but still they have minimum 5 5 8 questions..

I am a BE student at Kavikulguru Institue of Technology and Science, Ramtek, Nagpur. First of all, let me tell you, I never knew anything about Capgemini before I started preparing for it. If you are appearing for Capgemini campus, then I would suggest you to prepare really well, because getting into this company will be a mega booster for your career.
I think you should know the following about Capgemini:
1. Capgemini is a Europe MNC (unlike indian borne MNCs like Infosys, Wipro and all), spread in 38 countries around the globe.
2. Its a 13.8 billion $ company. Companies like infosys, satyam, wipro are not even half of Capgemini. (TCS being 7.4 bn$)
3. Its called the gurus of consulting.
4. It stands 5th the Indian IT company rankings 2008.
5. It stands 4th in the best IT consulting services company in the recent world rankings by Forbes.
6. Capgemini is a very good company for the freshers, unlike other IT firms, Capgemini stands the last when it comes to irregular firings.
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 company 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 1 hr 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 to go through all the questions by heart.
Questions are the same from the link below:
I would suggest you to go through as many Capgemini placement papers as possible. The questions are very simple. Candidates those who managed to clear the aptitude test were called for GD session.
3) Group Discussion:
All the selected candidates were divided into 13 groups of 10 students each.
The GD was being conducted simultaneously in 2 rooms. Our group got the topic "LIVE-IN RELATIONSHIP" Clearing the GD round is easy. The coordinators were really very friendly and made all the candidates relaxed. In GD, you will have to show your participation. Do open up your mouth, but at the same time, see to it that you are not disrupting others and make out a valid point atleast try to be around the point and just not beat around the bushes n blabber anything. Dont loose confidence even if you are not a very good speaker. Just give strong points, this is what matters the most. After about 1 hr the list of candidates who had cleared the GD was displayed and they were asked to report in a room for further proceedings. 60 candidates cleared the GD round.
4) Personal Interview:
There were 3 interview panels consisting of 2 members each. The interviews were going on simultaneously. The interviewer are the different ppl here ... I mean not the one in GD round..one was Preeti mam.. main HR she was there for PI n the other sir for technical.. for interview just wanna say that be very firm with your answers showing full confidence. If you dont know any answer say to them... they just asked about the dead basics of C & C++, some of Software Engg, n yes if you have gone through any project be very clear with that coz they may be asking your contribution to that... Sir also gave me to write a logic for swapping,
Try to be confident n yes keep smiling... coz it may add extra effects...
Finally the results were out... n I was the 7th to be selected... there were total 19 selections.

1. Senior cricketers should be retired now?
2. Is IPL killing test cricket?
3. Who is better - Rani Mukherjee or Kajol?
4. India - US Nuclear deal?

It was not necessary to speak a lot. Give relevant points and be a good team member.
Personal Interview: 5 people from Capgemini came to our college who divided themselves into 4 groups. i.e.Interview of 4 candidates was going on simultaneously. It depends on your luck which interviewer will take the interview. My interview was completely HR. There was not a single technical question asked. But some of my friends were asked a lot of technical questions. The questions asked from me were..
1. Tell me about urself, your family background, your achievements?
2. My 10th and 12th percentage?
3. Any back logs?
4. Any extra curricular activities?
5. What are the things you liked about Capgemini in the presentation?
6. What did you know about the Capgemini before the presentation?

Wish you All the Best for Capgemini.

Hi Friends
This is Tej from GITAM. I got into Capgemini on 23 July 2008.
To get into Capgemini you need to first write a Written Test which consists of two sections
Quants 25 questions and Reasoning 25 questions.
There is no upper cut off and for qualifying to the next round you need to get minimum of 10 marks in each section. (1m for correct answer and -1/4 for wrong answer.)
Next we had a GD round where the topics can be chosen by the students or yet times given the HR.
the topics are quite simple like and elimination in GD was not that serious actually coz people who were not able to speak were given a chance by the HR himself and made to talk henceforth many of them got through GD.
Cell phones should be banned in college.
Congress vs BJP.
Infaltion and hike in petrol prices.
and many more all general topics.
Then HR round + TR round.
We never actually know whether we are gonna have a HR round or a TR round so be prepared for both coz ppl from both the sections are gonna come.
my HR was mainly TR and stress HR round. I answered most of the questions with ease and patience but I thought I was not doing that well coz at that point I never knew I was under stress interview.
I was asked many questions on different things and about friends.
I was continuously encountered with satires and various kinds of negative expressions.
This was just to test my patience and my reactions when under stress.
simply be calm, have a smile in your face. if you don't know something just tell him that you don't know it,
that'l help you a lot.
try to be as calm and cool as possible never loose hope when your interview is going on.
smile that is the only thing you can do when your under lots of stress.
Finally I was able to get into Capgemini.
over 600 people attempted written test and 150 got through written.
113 got through gd
and finally 70 got job.
Hi Friends
Im Rupa from Sri Venkateswara College of Engg. I m here to share my experience with you.. CAPGEMINI visited our campus on 7th of June 2008. There were totally three rounds..
1. APTITUDE TEST
2. GROUP DISCUSSION
3. HR cum TECH ROUND.
APTITUDE ROUND:
Aptitude is easy only. Just go through all the previous year Capgemini papers once.. questions may repeat again.. and just go through R.S. AGGARWAL for quants. Totally 50 questions in 1 hour.. But there is negative marking so please be careful when you answer the questions.. Dont mark the answers if you are not sure.. Think twice before you mark..
NOTE: you've to use only pens so be careful.. (shade it properly otherwise it'll be untidy). And negative marking is .25 mark... JUST BE CONFIDENT.. you can easily crack this round.. Totally 400 students appeared for aptitude but only 116 students got through aptitude round.. next is GD..
GROUP DISCUSSION:
After aptitude we all asked to split into groups.. And GD topics are given on the spot by HR's.. just chill.. Be CONFIDENT and Communicate well in GD.. At the same time you SHOULD NOT DOMINATE OTHERS.. Just come out with your ideas …JUST BE CONFIDENT…. From 116 students only 66 students were selected for next round..
HR cum TECH ROUND:
This round depends on the HR who comes in your panel… Some HR’S will ask tech questions also from your area of interest.. So be confident about the sub that you mentioned as your area of interest in your resume.. But I am very lucky.. The HR who came for our panel was so sweet.. only HR questions he asked us.
1) Tell about yourself
2) Hobbies
3) Role model
4) About your educational background..
5) Short term and long term goals…
This round will be simple only.. don't worry.. Don’t loose your patience…. DO UR BEST GOD WILL DO THE REST..
Finally out of 66 students they selected 47 from our college… I was the one among those 47 students…. I am very glad to be a part of this excellent company…. Capgemini visited our campus for the first time so it was excellent they recruited 47 students from our college… We are very proud to be an product of SVCE… and going to be a part of Capgemini.. I WISH ALL THE SUCCESS TO U ALL..
My only advice is be confident, have patience.. and hope for the best …ALL THE VERY BEST… DO WELL..

HR : one puzzle HR : Atlast they told to me to ask any question Finally they selected 20 students from our college & I am one of them. Hi Friends I am Charchika Shukla, student of NIT Raipur. I got placed in "CAPGEMINI" on 5th August 2008. It was a wonderful experience. That day first of all the company's representatives gave a Powerpoint Presentation, as it was the first software company to vsit our college all of us were very excited, I and some of my frnz had come with an attitude that just lets see what happens, we were not very sure, so it was like a rehearsel for us. the presentation was good, they told us abt their cmpny n all. You must check out a few details like CEO, locations, origin etc. about the cmpny, it helps. After ppt we were to sit for the written test. It was easy, there were 2 sections - Apti n LR. There were 3 different sets of the paper. Questions wre of the type specified in many of the papers on this site. 50 qs n 1 hr time. they had told us a cutt off of 10 qs in each section. I had solved 12-13 qs of apti and around 18-20 qs of LR. After about 1 n a hlf hr results were declard n to my surprise my name was there!! total 120 students were selectd. Next round GD. With my frnz help I prepared some current topics like "Nuclear deal", "terrorism" n a few abstract topics like "black" etc. they had divided 120 ppl in 10 grps each of 12 members. Then came my turn- n luckily I got the topic Nuclear deal. My panel gave us 2 min. to think abt the topic. as I had prpd it, so I decided anyhow I have to "initiate" the topic, as it yields most points and was just looking at them for start signal n as soon as I got it I just grabbed the opportunity n successfully initiated the topic - "gud afternoon all of u, I m so n so n our topic of discussion is ...." . One important thing that I learnt was - a persn must be confident while speaking, must raise the volume if he/she is not getting the chance to speak, becoz nobody is going to give u chance to speak, n at the same must listen to others attentively, make eye contact wid ur grp members it shows ur confidence n projects u as a facilitator who helps others to speak. I did all this. n also, if possible try to make urself comfortable with ur grp members if u know their names, before the discussion as it helps u to win frnz n hence good n familiar grp members to discuss with. neways, results were out n as I thought - I had a chance, I was one of the 3 students selectd from our grp of 12 students. total 74 students. So, I was in for the final round - the tech+ hr interview. It was really a mix of feelings- I was excited at the same tme a bit nervous abt the interview as I had not prpd well my technical subjects like Operating System, N/wking etc. n rest of the subjects like DS, C, C++ I had not touched them for the last week, but ya, I was done with my project works which I had done genuinely. So before goin to interview I had some 2 hrs, so I just brushed up some of the basic concepts n all. I was abt to be called on 27th no. but to my surprise, my name was called around 7:15 pm nearly 1/2 an hr earlier. I was not at all prepared, I just picked up my file from smwhere n a pen, lended by my frnd n rushed in. There were 4 panels. I was sent to a single person panel. His name was Mr. Shabreesh Menon. So I jst entered n wished him gudevning sir. He too wished me n askd me to sit. n he askd me the meaning of my name. H told. he then asked me to give me a brief intro of myself. I did. then he askd me abt my projects. I told. then askd me abt my fav subject. I told. nxt q was why did I chose to pursue MCA. I told. then he gave me a really easy puzzle. I answrd. he then askd why shall they choose me over others. I told hard work, sincere with an eg to support. then he finally askd me if I had any constraints regarding the place if I get placed. I said no. He then said ok, it was nice meeting u and did a handshake. I said - "same here sir" with a smile. and I left. I thought I had a chance, for the first time in the whole day it came to my mind- I dnt want to go home empty handed now. As I was the first one to be called of our class so evry one jst asked me abt the interview. finally, the results were abt to be out... Finally our (girls candidates, as it was getting late) results wre out - n my name was there!!! frm our class 7 girls n 4 bys have been selectd!!! Just, one thing be confident n take evry thing lightly, i.e dont be tensed n have faith in the god. n u will do it... Hi Friends This is somewhat related to the candidates who need guidance on MAINFRAMES. Mainframes paper is different from others... Actually there will be three rounds for you 1) WRITTEN TEST a) Technical b) Logical reasoning In Technical again there will be 5 sections on JCL, COBOL, CICS, DB2, VSAM. Each section carries 15 marks and you have to get atleast 9 marks in each section and there is a negative marking of 0.25 for each wrong answer. In Logical Reasoning there will be 50 questions. I dont know whether these section carries negative marking or not!!! 2) GROUP DISCUSSION In GD they give quite general topics like "WHY INDIA IS LAGGING IN OLYMPICS", "IS IT NECCESARY TO GO TO FOREIGN FOR EDUCATION". 3) INTERVIEW In interview they covered almost all topics. For me they asked so many questions on DB2 SQL and about my project. Some questions on physics also. Concentrate more on COBOL. why bcoz in our paper COBOL is some what tougher when compared to others. Gothrough the project before going to interview and also prepare your own feedback questions. The questions what you ask them will also give some impression. I asked these questions, (i) what about the training for the selected candidates? (ii) How this company will help the emplyoes to improve their technical stuff? (iii)In which areas I have to improve yet? thats it.... Results were anounced, the next day. I am very happy to say that I got placed in CAPGEMINI. Hi Friends This is omkar from D.M.C.E, Airoli, Navi Mumbai. Cap Gemini visited our college on 4th September 2008. Well let me tell u about myself, before CAPGEMINI I cleared 5 aptitude test, 1 GD, 4 TR and 3 HR and then too I was not selected. So u can think me as an experience candidate for placement) but I think my destiny was in cap Gemini. the overall procedure for the placement was as follows:- 1) U r required to fill an admit card for the online aptitude test. The online aptitude test consist of 2 sections of 50 questions. 1) Quantitative (1 to 25) 2) Logical (26 to 50). Time limit:-60 min. There was no negative marking. There was sectional cutoff. Quantities section consist of following question *) how many prime numbers r between 1 to 100? (ans :-25 (1 is not prime)) *) a problem on speed, distance, time like superman flies at 25mph, spiderman flies at15mph and phantom take 2 hrs to fly from NY to DC. If speed of spiderman is twice that of phantom and distance between NY to DC is same as distance between NY to Washington (I don't remember it well) there where couple of question like *) what is the distance between NY and DC? *) how long will superman take to travel from dc to Washington and back? *) I donno remember the 3rd ? *) the largest no between (7)-(2),(3)+(4),2*(2),6+(2)(X)=square root of X *) Arrange some numbers in descending order? If u want to crack quantitative section u have to do following section well ;- 1-numbers (5 question) 2-average(2) 3-speed, distance(5) 4-simple compound interest(2) 5-profit and loss(3) 6-progression (2) Logical Section consist of following question;- *) a problem on if it rains on Wednesday it will rain on Friday and so on and 5 questions based on the data (the question on the data were scattered all around the paper i.e 1st question was no 26,2nd was no 30,3rd was 32,4th was 36,and 5th was 38) (easy) *) a problem on playground i.e A,B,C,D want to play on ground P,Q,R,S.A plays on p and Q. B on Q & R. C on Q and S.5 question where asked on the data (easy) *) a 5 question on relation i.e A is D mom. B is E mom. F is C son. B is G aunt(not sure). And some more data was given Let me tell u, the logical question was much easy than quantitative. So first attempt logical and then quantitative. don't go for solving all question of logical; solve 15 questions of logical then go for quantitative since quantitative is difficult and there was sectional cut off. Keep last 5 minutes for guessing the answers of the remaining question. In our college out of 80, 20 was selected for interview (since less students qualified, they cancelled the GD section and directly took the interview) Well there were 2 interviews (TR and HR) My TR interview went like this I - good evening sir. Interviewer - good evening Omkar. how was ur day? I - fine sir ? Interviewer:- well Omkar tell me about you. I - (this is the main part. mention ur name, birth date, birth place, academic's 10th, 12th B.E, the order of mentioning should be ascending, don't directly start from ur B.E, also mention ur hobbies, which u pursued in 10, 12 and B.E, also mention achievement if any) Interviewer - well do u have any idea about DBMS (if u r comp or IT u should know what it is?) I - yes. Interviewer - can u develop database relation schema for a movie theatre (since I mention my hobby as WATCHING MOVIES) I - I did as he told; he in fact helped me to develop the database. Interviewer - what do u mean by normalization? I - explained with an example and also told about 1NF, 2NF, 3NF etc Interviewer - any liking for programming languages? I - 'C' programming language. Interviewer - he asked me to write a program (only logic, no emphasis on syntax) for Fibonacci series (really a piece of cake) Interviewer - asked me about my project work for current year?

I - sir, can u give me details of the bond we have to sign while joining? Interviewer - explained? Interviewer - well Omkar thank u? (he got up for shaking hand, tat's a sign u r on right track, I left the room and after some time I got call for HR interview. the trick for clearing TR is be honest for most times, if u donno know some answer, tell him frankly tat "u can't recollect it", if u have some knowledge tell him what u know about it and last add "tats all I can remember, sir") My HR Interview went like this:- Interviewer:-u may sit Omkar. I - thank u sir. Interviewer - tell me about ur self? I - same as above Interviewer - what about ur family background? I - told him. Interviewer - which technology r u aiming for career and why?

I - leading a group of 5-10 people in an I.T firm probably a project leader. Interviewer - do u know any recent news about the booming IT sector? (since I mentioned my hobby as newspaper reading) I - no sir my special liking is for world politics, and technology. sir not really interested in business. Interviewer- ok. any problem shifting to other locations? I - no. Interviewer - well thank u omkar ? I - thank u sir. I waited for 2 hours outside and finally 7 people went for HR interview (I was one of them) out of 20 selected they told me that results of those who gave HR will be out next day the rest r rejected. while rest went home dejected I was nervous whether I will be selected or not. on next day results were out (they mailed the result to our training and placement officer) out of 7, 4 were selected and I was one of them! finally! Hi Friends I m Sanjeet Sinha, a final year student of PCEA, Nagpur. I'm here to share my experience of the selection procedure conducted by CAPGEMINI on 29th july, 2008. We had to face 3 rounds- (a) Aptitude Test (b) Group Discussion (c) Personal interview(Tech+HR) There was 50 questions in the Aptitude test :: 25 questions on Quantitative & other 25 questions were Logical analysis. The questions were easy but a little time consuming. Mainly the questions were from-time and dist, profit and loss, speed and distance, and the logical part was of general common sense we can practice it from R.S.Agarwal. As i told u that the papers were easy but time consuming hence Time management was the key part for solving the paper and also look for the previous year questions. They declared a cut off of 10 marks from each sec, so it was 20 in total. About 400 students appeared for the aptitude, out of which 129 cleared the aptitude test including me. The next round was GD. A group of 10 studnts were made. It was a wonderful experience to all of us. we got the topic "should youth enter into the politics". It was a good topic to discuss and it happened the same. we had a good discussion of the topic and almost each of the member contributed more or less at their best. And out of 9 students from our group, 5 including me were selected. In total they selected 63 candidate for final round i,e the personal interview. The PI included both tecnical as well as HR. In tech they asked que from the branch u belonged and some basic knowlege of C language. After a long time I was called for the PI. It was almost 9 of the evening, I entered the cabin. I know what's the amount of pressure a candidate have on him, whenever he appears for an interview, & how was the feelings of being rejected one after another times. It was nice to giving an interview in a friendly atmosphere they created. I was asked to tell about myself, the respected madam who was taking my interview asked me from the points I mentioned to tell about myself. They asked me about the aptitute test and which part I felt easy?. I replied that both parts were good but I cud attempt more que from quanti. Next I was asked to tell my weakness and stengths. Next I was asked that although u r from mech engg. then why do want to join IT sector, I replied that due to my less marks in entrance test I cudn't get diff branch thogh I had a lot of interest in computers from the very beginning... Next I was asked if i had any query.. I replied that if I m selected wat more courses shud I had to study before joining the company? Next they asked me about my place of preferences?... I peplied that place dosen't matter for me, the quality which I provide to the company that matters much for me.. I want to share something with you, it was the 8th interview, I was appeared for. Previously I've rejected 7 times, but still I didn't give up. I want to say you people must have confidence upon yourself, that's the thing with which you can win, never become hopeless. So please try to be confident, always try to answer promptly, don't go for any false representation, as it reflects on your expression,& have faith on yourself---that's the key to crack. Don't get me wrong, you may have feel that I'm giving too many advises that are useless, but I'm telling you, whatever I've said here, all are my own experiences. I personally believe that "failure is tha pillar of success", & YES, I'VE PROVED IT BY MYSELF, I'VE CRACKED CAPGEMINI, the renowned IT company in the industry. The final result listed 41 candidates who are finally selected, & I feel very proud to be 1 of those 41. Hi Friends first of all I thank all the members of this forum for posting such useful messages, which helped me a lot and following is my interview pattern which held in Anna University, Coimbatore on 15th August Basically there were three rounds 1. Written 2. GD 3. Tech+HR Written * 2 sections were there (25 Apps + 25 Verbal) * its very easy one, but the problem is negative marking (-0.25). * Go through all the previous papers * dont attend everything, there is maximum cut off I think so * its better to get between 25-30 * its an elimination round. nearly 1600 ppls only 150 are shortlisted. GD * its not a problem, if u have basic communcation skill. * my gd topic was.. why is america dominating the world, and my frnd's topics were Is senior players required in indian cricket team, IT vs non-IT. (be updated with current events). * its not an elimination round, out of 150 nearly 110 were selected. TECH+HR * be frank, don try to confuse, be clear with basic concepts of IT and some simple programs (swap, palindrome, string reverse.....). * for me it lasts for 30 minutes. HR was very friendly. * if u donno the answer say him frankly, be bold and confident. * u can expect basic qns like temme abt urslf, y capgemini, strength and weakness. * i was asked to answer this qn "u are a team leader, ur project deadline is today and u r not able to finish it, at this situation wat will u do ?" * dress neatly, shave ur beard, be professional. * basic communication skill is the main aspect here. * out of 110->80 were selected finally.
p.s: since they need 10,000+ professionals by 2010, if u clear the written and u hv a basic tech & comm skil, there is no doubt that u r an employee of CG.

"GD is not all about speaking...a good listener is also a Group participant"
we have given a topic on " IS GD NECESSARY FOR ELIMINATION "
out of 35....25 were selected.
ROUND 3: Technical Round & HR ROUND:
There were 6 panels for this round.

BUT I faced ... BOTH TR and HR
BASICS of every subjects (C,C++,JAVA,DATA STRUCTURES).
***CODING in Dynamic dispatcher, pointers, arrays, structures, Union and LINKED LIST.

NOTE: **1.ALWAYS HAVE A "SMILE" ON UR FACE in INTERVIEW and GD.
**2.Be "CONFIDENT" on what U R saying.

I Lead the team efficiently through out my discussion by
---> releasing new points when deviation in team observed
like organisation of events like sports & freshers meet to have healthy interaction among them
---> made the team to run on my words & ultimately gaining trust from them to my point
---> good body language;evoking points like by frequent get-togethers with sr's jr's can acquire academic knowledge efficiently & faster than single one's...

Hi Friends
My name is Keyur. I recently appeared for Capgemini, it is a very good company. they are giving a package of 2.73lac. On 19th we had the aptitude test, then on 20th we had a GD round. After that there is technical cum HR round.
Aptitude test was of 1hr online test and it consists of 25 questions in analytical section and 25 questions in logical section.
Analytical section was tough and is very time consuming. u can refer R.S.Agrawal quantitive for this section. do that book very seriously try to give more stress on speed, distance, time, ages, simplification, permutation and combination chapters. but note that u dond waste much time in this section dont give more then 35 min to this section.
Logical is quite easy and u can score good points in this section. u can refer (R.S.Agrawal logical reasoning) for this section. do the puzzle test and data sufficiency chapters very perfectly bcoz most of the questions were from this 2 chapters. I think doing only this 2 chapters is enough.
I was not able to clear the apti and the cut off was not disclosed. may be it was around 30 right questions.
Next round was GD round many of my friends cleared it and went for tech cum HR round.

Hi Friends
I'm Aniruddha Ghosh, a 3rd year engineering student of Bengal Institute of Technology, Kolkata. I'm here to share my xperience of the capussing procedure conducted by CAPGEMINI on 24th April 2007.
We had to face 4 rounds-
a) Aptitude Test
b) Group Discussion
c) Technical Interview
d) HR interview
There was 50 questions in the aptitude test, 25 questions on quantitative & other 25 questions were logical analysis. There was no such questions either on verbal or technical ability. The questions were standard, not very easy, but not at all tough, a little bit time-taking.
Mainly the quanti questions were on basic--profit & loss, interest, fractions, speed...etc.The logical questions were on common sense, very ordinary logical questions followed by any book like R.S.Agarwal. The time management is the main key to solve the paper as per my point of view.
Total 116 candidates appeared for aptitude test, only 45 cleared the aptitude test including me.
The next round was GD. It was a wonderful experience to all of us. We have given "Lage raho Munnabhai---what's the social impact of that well admired movie". It was a very good topic to discuss, nearly all of us contribute more or less as their level best. I initiated the GD & my friends also spoke well. 9 people out of 11 were selected from our group.
In total they selected 36 candidates for technical interview. The moderator of our group was very friendly & he gave us enough time to discuss. Before starting the GD he said that--"nothing to worry about, it's just a formal discussion", which was a big relief to all of us.
In technical Interview they asked very basic questions from our semester subjects. Specially C, DS, DBMS, Networking, OS, OOP & Microprocessor. CS & IT people please make urself comfortable with your departmental subjects, if possible Please go through Microprocessor also. They ask from here also. As I'm a student of IT department, I'm giving u the brief of my interview, but I've heard from my friends of ECE department, they were asked from their departmental subjects also.
I was asked to tell the respected interviewer the names of my past 2 semester's subjects. He listened those carefully & asked questions from those subjects, I've mentioned earlier. Some questions was like---basic features of OOP-discuss, normalization, OS handling, basic questions on OS, OSI layer-little discussion, link lists, sorting & last but not the least I was asked to write the algo of Quicksort & some other questions also there, that I can't remember now. But over all there was no such contradictory questions, they never counter with your answer.
There were only 18 candidates including me cleared the technical round.
After some time I was called for HR interview. It was nice to giving an interview in a friendly atmosphere they created. I was asked to tell about myself, the respected madam who was taking my interview asked me from the points I mentioned to tell about myself. She asked me ---"what do u mean by optimism?", "how can you prove that you are optimistic?", "what do u know about software industry?", strengths, weaknesses. Finally asked me to question her about my confusions if any.
I want to share something with you, it was the 6th interview, I was appeared for. Previously I've rejected 5 times, but still I didn't give up. I want to say you people must have confidence upon yourself, that's the thing with which you can win, never become hopeless. I know what's the amount of pressure a candidate have on him, whenever he appears for an interview & how was the feelings of being rejected one after another times.
So please try to be confident, always try to answer promptly, don't go for any false representation, as it reflects on your expression & have faith on yourself---that's the key to crack.
The final result listed only 9 candidates who are finally selected & I feel very proud to be 1 of those 9.

3 6 5 1
each of 7 digits from 1,2,3,4,5,6 & 9 is represented by letter in the subtraction of problem above.
Q7. (a) Which letter is represented by the number "3"
Solution:-
3 6 5 1
(+) D E A N
-----------------------------------
S L I D E
It is given in the question that each of 7 digits 1,2,3,4,5, 6 & 9 is represented by a. Different letter in the above problem it is clear that 3+D+carry [If any] is equal to SL. But as it is clear that highest sum of there given no. can be (9+6+1)=16 so S = 1
Now it is also clear that D is either 6 or 9 but D cannot be 6, because in that case L, is equal to 0, which is not possible.
So D = 9
Now from that it is clear that L Letter is either 2 or 3 & A=4, It is also clear that E cannot be equal to 5,4,3,2,1
So E=6
Now we can help of above conclusions.
Ans. to question no.
(a) = L
(b) Which letter is represented by the no "5" ? Ans (b) N
(c) Which no is presented by the letter "E" ? Ans. (d) 6
(d) Which letter is presented by the no "6" Ans. E

Hi Friends
This is Samrat here.. I am sharing my experiences abt the CAPGEMINI recruitment held at KIIT, Bhubaneswar on 4th June.
As u guys would b knowing this year the test pattern of CAPGEMINI is Aptitude(25) and Reasoning(25).. Then followed by GD, Technical (mainly HR based and puzzles) and HR..
The apti part was very easy. actually questions are being repeated. The same question that came in BIT, Kolkata came here.. So I would suggest all the aspirants to solve the papers given properly. In our college 300 students sat for the paper. Out of it 120 cleared written. Then came the GD part..
Topics like -East or West which is the land of opportunities and Gandhigiri or Dadagiri were given. In our college we had 50 B.Tech and 70 MCA 's qulaified for written... There were 5 B.Tech GD group and 7 MCA groups each consisting of 10. So out of it 51 cleared GD.. My topic was Lagey Raho Munnabhai and its impact in modern days. I cleared GD..
Then came the Technical or Management round.. In this round either you would be asked some HR queestions like Tell Me about Yourself or some cases would be given to you and you have to get the best possible answers.. They gave me a puzzle from Shakuntala Devi and told me to complete it in 30 secs. I confidently did it in 20 secs. And they would also be askin you abt ur Hobbies and details on them.. Then I was told to wait outside for HR round..
Friends remember in Capgemini every person has to undergo thru TECH and HR.. They evaluate you on your total performance starting from written marks, GD, Tech qualities and HR...
Then in my HR round i had to face the HR Head of Kolkata--VANDANA mam. She asked me on why I joined Capgemini inspite of there being so many big companies like TCS, CTS, etc.
Then asked abt my projects in details.. Then asked me on my hobbies, Extracurricular activities.. A situation was given to me how I should overcome it with the best possible outcomes. like that..and then asked questions like Why i joined KIIT, Bbsr apart from having joined in an Engineering college in Kolkata (I am from KOL so shes asked this).. Like this..i was so confident with the answers that my HR was pleased.. It was a 20 mins Interview.. Then she finally asked me if I have any questions for her. I asked her some like what a company expects from the freshers and wat subject a fresher should be acquainted with properly b4 joining a company and like dat.. Then she told me it was over and I had to wait outside for results. Finally when results came out at 12 am ..i was lucky to find my name in the 5th call... What they said was they marked a person totally starting from Written GD, Tech, HR..mine was the 5th rank out of the 300.. After having failed to even clear the written in WIPRO, MINDTREE, L&T INFOTECH I was really very depressed and now i ve cleared CAPGEMINI --a MNC wow!!
I really bleive to get recruited u really need 70 percent luck.. They offered package of 2.75 but it woudl be revised to 3.3 lacs/annum...
Hi Friends
We had Capgemini as ON Campus at our college. It was scheduled to start by 2:30 but took some more time to start off. The basic thing was that it was an ONLINE TEST. The same day CapGemini had been to CVRCE where they had written test in the form of pen and paper.
We were given a registration no and that regn no was our id and password to login. they had a fake test for 5 min to make the students acquainted with their question pattern. after that the test began. Believe me friends maximum of the questions were repeated frm the last questions papers which are quoted on this web site. Not even a single data had changed. maximum of the questions were from the previous papers. Aptitude part was easy and RS Aggrawal is more than sufficient. reasoning part demanded the maximum time and one should be tricky in attending those coz this part asks for most of the time. total were 50 questions which were to be attended in 60 min. Time counter was running on computer, so a single more second could not be availed. as soon as 1 hour will be reached then immediately the page will be refreshed and the current profile will be logged out. So please be time efficient.

APTITUDE TEST
GD
TECHNICAL
HR
Aptitude test was the main elimination round. Out of 116 candidates 44 was selected. The topic for our GD was "The present status of our cricket team". The GD round went very well and all 12 members were selected.
The technical was a bit tough. Be prepared with one of your favorite subject. Questions were from C, C++, DBMS, O.S.
EX:
Define pointer.
What is Null pointer?
Algo for bobble sort, binary search
Basic questions of C++. like class, polymorphism...
Normalization-3NF, BCNF...
HR ques are also asked in this round.
Finally HR round which is very easy. 18 candidates cleared technical out of which 9 were selected. The results were declared on 15th May. so all had to wait with great tention.
My only advice is be confident, have patience.. and hope for the best.

CAPGEMINI PLACEMENT PAPER ON 5th August 2008 (Pattern)
Hello all job aspirants, i am charchika shukla, student of NIT Raipur.I got placed in "CAPGEMINI" on 5th August 2008.It was a wonderful experience.
That day first of all the company's representatives gave a Powerpoint Presentation of their company , as it was the first software company to vsit our college all of us were very excited , i and some of my frnz had come with an attitude that just lets see what happens,we were not very sure, so it was like a rehearsel for us. the presentation was good,they told us abt their cmpny n all.You must check out a few details like CEO,locations,origin etc. about the cmpny,it helps.
After ppt we were to sit for the written test.it was easy , there were 2 sections - apti n LR. there were 3 different sets of the paper.questions wre of the type specified in many of the papers on this site.50 qs n 1 hr time.they had told us a cutt off of 10 qs in each section.i had solved 12-13 qs of apti and around 18-20 qs of LR. i had given the test with " lets see what happens" hope., after about 1 n a hlf hr results were declard n to my surprise my name was there!! total 120 students were selectd .i thought " oh my god !i will have to prepare for next round GD" as i had not prpd for it at all.so with my frnz help i prepared some current topics like "Nuclear deal" , "terrorism" n a few abstract topics like "black" etc. they had divided 120 ppl in 10 grps each of 12 members.
Then came my turn- n luckily i got the topic Nuclear deal.my panel gave us 2 min. to think abt the topic.as i had prpd it ,so i decided anyhow i have to "initiate" the topic, as it yields most points and was just looking at them for start signal n as soon as i got it i just grabbed the opportunity n successfully initiated the topic - "gudafternoon all of u,i m so n so n our topic of discussion is ...." . one important thing that i learnt was - a persn must be confident while speaking, must raise the volume if he/she is not getting the chance to speak, becoz nobody is going to give u chance to speak , n at the same must listen to others attentively, make eye contact wid ur grp members it shows ur confidence n projects u as a facilitator who helps others to speak. i did all this. n also , if possible try to make urself comfortable with ur grp members if u know their names, before the discussion as it helps u to win frnz n hence good n familiar grp members to discuss with.
So , i was in for the final round - the tech+ hr interview. it was really a mix of feelings- i was excited at the same tme a bit nervous abt the interview as i had not prpd well my technical subjects like Operating System, N/wking etc. n rest of the subjects like DS,C,C++ i had not touched them for the last week , but ya , i was done with my project works which i had done genuinely. so before goin to interview i had some 2 hrs , so i just brushed up some of the basic concepts n all .
I was abt to be called on 27 th no. but to my surprise, my name was called around 7:15 pm nearly 1/2 an hr earlier.i was not at all prepared , i just picked up my file from smwhere n a pen, lended by my frnd n rushed in.
There were 4 panels . I was sent to a single person panel.His name was Mr. Shabreesh Menon.
So i jst entered n wished him gudevning sir.he too wished me n askd me to sit.n he askd me the meaning of my name. i told.he then asked me to give me a brief intro of myself.i did. then he askd me abt my projects.i told. then askd me abt my fav subject.i told. nxt q was why did i chose to pursue MCA.i told. then he gave me a really easy puzzle.i answrd.he then askd why shall they choose me over others.i told hard work,sincere with an eg to support.then he finally askd me if i had any constraints regarding the place if i get placed.i said no.
He then said ok,it was nice meeting u and did a handshake.i said - "same here sir"with a smile. and i left.
I thought i had a chance,for the first time in the whole day it came to my mind- i dnt want to go home empty handed now. as i was the first one t be called of our class so evry one jst asked me abt the interview.finally, the results were abt to be out

1-numbers (5 question)
2-average(2)
3-speed ,distance(5)
4-simple compound interest(2)
5-profit and loss(3)
6-progression (2)
Logical section : consist of following question;-
*)a problem on if it rains on Wednesday it will rain on Friday and so on and 5 questions based on the data (the question on the data were scattered all around the paper i.e 1st question was no 26,2nd was no 30,3rd was 32,4th was 36,and 5th was 38) (easy)
*)a problem on playground i.e A,B,C,D want to play on ground P,Q,R,S.A plays on p and Q. B on Q & R. C on Q and S.5 question where asked on the data (easy)
*)a 5 question on relation i.e A is D mom. B is E mom. F is C son. B is G aunt(not sure).
And some more data was given Let me tell u friends the logical question was much easy than quantitative .so first attempt logical and then quantitative. don't go for solving all question of logical solve 15 questions of logical then go for quantitative since quantitative is difficult and there was sectional cut off. Keep last 5 minutes for guessing the answers of the remaining question.

Paper : Capgemini Latest Job Interview Placement Paper At Nagpur
Hi Capgemini Aspirants,
I am a MCA student at G.H. Raisoni Institute of Information Technology, Nagpur. First of all, let me tell you, I never knew anything about Capgemini before I started preparing for it. If you are appearing for Capgemini campus, then I would suggest you to prepare really well, because getting into this company will be a booster for your career.
I think you should know the following about Capgemini:
1. Capgemini is a Europe multinational (unlike indian borne MNCs like Infosys, Wipro and all), spread in 38 countries around the globe.
2. Its a 13.8 billion $ company. Companies like infosys,satyam,wipro are not even half of Capgemini.(TCS being 7.4 bn$)
3. Its called the gurus of consulting .
4. It stands 5th the Indian IT company rankings 2008.
5. It stands 4th in the best IT consulting services company in the recent world rankings by Forbes.
6. Capgemini is a very good company for the freshers, unlike other IT firms ,Capgemini stands the last when it comes to irregular firings. Capgemini came for a
Campus recruitment drive on Jul 29th, 2008. It was a closed campus, comprising of two colleges (G.H. Raisoni and PCEA). Around 500 (BE + MCA) students appeared for the campus.
The criteria was:
1. For BE: 60% in BE till date & no active backlogs.
2. For MCA: 60% in MCA 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). 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). I think this helps a lot.
So, I will suggest you to mug up all the questions by heart that I am giving with their answers.

None of the above I would suggest you to go through as many Capgemini placement papers as possible. The questions are very simple. Even if you are not very good at aptitude, you can make it. Just be cool and imply your brain. After the aptitude test, the results were displayed after around 2 hrs. 129 candidates managed to clear the aptitude test and were called for GD session.
3) Group Discussion:
All the selected candidates were divided into 13 groups of 10 students each.
The GD was being conducted simultaneously in 3 rooms. Our group got the topic "Should GDs be included in selection procedures?" Clearing the GD round is easy. The coordinators were really very friendly and made all the candidates relaxed. In GD, you will have to show your participation. Do open up your mouth, but at the same time, see to it that you are not disrupting others. Dont loose confidence even if you are not a very good speaker. Just give strong points, thisz what matters the most. After about 1hr the list of candidates who had cleared the GD was displayed and they were asked to report in a room for further proceedings. 60 candidates cleared the GD round.
4) Personal Interview:
There were 3 interview panels consisting of 2 members each. The interviews were going on simultaneously. I was the third one to be called.
Me: Good evening Sir, Ma'am.
Interviewers: GE, please sit. How was ur day?
Me: Great. We had pretty good time, selection procedure was punctal.
Int: But the guy before you was saying that he is too much tired and having head ache..?
Me: It was a good day for me Sir, I am used to such schedule. (Actually they were testing if the candidate can spend long working hrs or not. Please be very positive in your answers.)
Int: How was the aptitude test.
Me: It was good. Not very tough.
Iv: Is it so because you guys got a lot of chance to cheat and ask answers from your friends?
Me: No Sir, I didnt seek anybody else's help and did all my paper of my own. If you wish, I am ready to solve it all again in front of you.
Int: (very happy) Very Good. I like your confidence. (It was a direct fire. Keep cool under such conditions and try to give good and positive answers that show your confidence against such questions.) Then I was asked technical questions: whats printf, scanf in C? Was asked to write a program that sorts both a character array as well as an integer array. (I wrote the logic) What is type casting? Memory taken by diff data-types etc. Being a MCA candidate, although I was well prepered for DBMS, Operating System, Data Structures questions, I was seldomly asked about them. Then the lady asked me a question from the aptitude paper and asked me to solve it (she didnt give me the full data).
I told her I need more data to solve it. She insisted that it can be solved with that much data only but I knew it wasnt so, so I kept sticking to my point. Then she asked me a couple of puzzles. I dont know how I performed, but I think they see your approach to solving the problem. Further, the gentleman asked me about my hobbies, my family etc.
We discussed arout 2-3 minutes about my father's work (an armyman). Finally, they asked me for my CV, a photograph, photo-copies of all my marksheets from Std 10th till MCA. Me: It was a very great time with you Sir. Iv: Same here Amit. Good Luck. My interview ran for about 30 minutes. Be cool and confident during the interview. If you are confident and have good communication skills, there are strong chances that you may be selected.
All the interviews were over by 10:15pm and we waited very eagerly for the results. We were asked to assemble in a room where the HR, Preety Ma'am came on the stage to announce the name of the selected candidates. There was a huge round of aplause for ever name being announced. To my good luck, I was also one of the selected guys. A total of 41 candidates were selected. We were then asked to maintain our aggregate (in BE or MCA) to a 60% at the time of joining failing which, we wont be accepted.

Capgemini has generally 2-3 sets of question booklets but still try to appear in the second batch. Paper has 3 sections.
1.Quantitative 25 ques
2. Analytical 30 ques
3. Verbal ques 25 ques
The most easy section is the verbal section. Just prepare Barrons well. One or the other unsolved test papers of Barron's are replicated as it is in the papers...that means antonyms, synonyms, sentence correction .. fill in the blanks words like gaffe, contentious, altrustic, belligerent.... Quantative is so so ..i mean 60 % is easy and rest is a bit tough...go thru the geometric theorms, formulas, quadriatic and linera section well.
Analytical is the most tricker one..it's very tempting bcoz 1 paragraph may fetch you 4 correct answers...puzzles..all puzzles like 1 speaks french b speaks chinesse and english..c speaks french and ... so arrange them in a comfortable position so that they can converse with each other...other question's like a heavier then b, m heavier then i and j , k lighter then d who is d heaviest ?? so on..... 15 question's are easy but very time consuming and rest questions although seem to be easy but try avoiding to attempt all questions coz that will eat up all your time unless you are very good at analytical.....
Total questions 80
Total time 90 min's
NO UPPER CUT OFF
They say that there is no sectional cut off but still they have minimum 5 5 8 questions..

Hi Friends
I am a BE student at Kavikulguru Institue of Technology and Science, Ramtek, Nagpur. First of all, let me tell you, I never knew anything about Capgemini before I started preparing for it. If you are appearing for Capgemini campus, then I would suggest you to prepare really well, because getting into this company will be a mega booster for your career.
I think you should know the following about Capgemini:
1. Capgemini is a Europe MNC (unlike indian borne MNCs like Infosys, Wipro and all), spread in 38 countries around the globe.
2. Its a 13.8 billion $ company. Companies like infosys, satyam, wipro are not even half of Capgemini. (TCS being 7.4 bn$)
3. Its called the gurus of consulting.
4. It stands 5th the Indian IT company rankings 2008.
5. It stands 4th in the best IT consulting services company in the recent world rankings by Forbes.
6. Capgemini is a very good company for the freshers, unlike other IT firms, Capgemini stands the last when it comes to irregular firings.
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 company 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 1 hr 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 to go through all the questions by heart.
Questions are the same from the link below:
I would suggest you to go through as many Capgemini placement papers as possible. The questions are very simple. Candidates those who managed to clear the aptitude test were called for GD session.
3) Group Discussion:
All the selected candidates were divided into 13 groups of 10 students each.
The GD was being conducted simultaneously in 2 rooms. Our group got the topic "LIVE-IN RELATIONSHIP" Clearing the GD round is easy. The coordinators were really very friendly and made all the candidates relaxed. In GD, you will have to show your participation. Do open up your mouth, but at the same time, see to it that you are not disrupting others and make out a valid point atleast try to be around the point and just not beat around the bushes n blabber anything. Dont loose confidence even if you are not a very good speaker. Just give strong points, this is what matters the most. After about 1 hr the list of candidates who had cleared the GD was displayed and they were asked to report in a room for further proceedings. 60 candidates cleared the GD round.
4) Personal Interview:
There were 3 interview panels consisting of 2 members each. The interviews were going on simultaneously. The interviewer are the different ppl here ... I mean not the one in GD round..one was Preeti mam.. main HR she was there for PI n the other sir for technical.. for interview just wanna say that be very firm with your answers showing full confidence. If you dont know any answer say to them... they just asked about the dead basics of C & C++, some of Software Engg, n yes if you have gone through any project be very clear with that coz they may be asking your contribution to that... Sir also gave me to write a logic for swapping,
Try to be confident n yes keep smiling... coz it may add extra effects...
Finally the results were out... n I was the 7th to be selected... there were total 19 selections.

1. Senior cricketers should be retired now?
2. Is IPL killing test cricket?
3. Who is better - Rani Mukherjee or Kajol?

It was not necessary to speak a lot. Give relevant points and be a good team member.
Personal Interview: 5 people from Capgemini came to our college who divided themselves into 4 groups. i.e.Interview of 4 candidates was going on simultaneously. It depends on your luck which interviewer will take the interview. My interview was completely HR. There was not a single technical question asked. But some of my friends were asked a lot of technical questions. The questions asked from me were..
1. Tell me about urself, your family background, your achievements?
2. My 10th and 12th percentage?
3. Any back logs?
4. Any extra curricular activities?
5. What are the things you liked about Capgemini in the presentation?
6. What did you know about the Capgemini before the presentation?

Wish you All the Best for Capgemini.

Hi Friends
This is Tej from GITAM. I got into Capgemini on 23 July 2008.
To get into Capgemini you need to first write a Written Test which consists of two sections
Quants 25 questions and Reasoning 25 questions.
There is no upper cut off and for qualifying to the next round you need to get minimum of 10 marks in each section. (1m for correct answer and -1/4 for wrong answer.)
Next we had a GD round where the topics can be chosen by the students or yet times given the HR.
the topics are quite simple like and elimination in GD was not that serious actually coz people who were not able to speak were given a chance by the HR himself and made to talk henceforth many of them got through GD.
Cell phones should be banned in college.
Congress vs BJP.
Infaltion and hike in petrol prices.
and many more all general topics.
Then HR round + TR round.
We never actually know whether we are gonna have a HR round or a TR round so be prepared for both coz ppl from both the sections are gonna come.
my HR was mainly TR and stress HR round. I answered most of the questions with ease and patience but I thought I was not doing that well coz at that point I never knew I was under stress interview.
I was asked many questions on different things and about friends.
I was continuously encountered with satires and various kinds of negative expressions.
This was just to test my patience and my reactions when under stress.
simply be calm, have a smile in your face. if you don't know something just tell him that you don't know it,
that'l help you a lot.
try to be as calm and cool as possible never loose hope when your interview is going on.
smile that is the only thing you can do when your under lots of stress.
Finally I was able to get into Capgemini.
over 600 people attempted written test and 150 got through written.
113 got through gd
and finally 70 got job.
Hi Friends
Im Rupa from Sri Venkateswara College of Engg. I m here to share my experience with you.. CAPGEMINI visited our campus on 7th of June 2008. There were totally three rounds..
1. APTITUDE TEST
2. GROUP DISCUSSION
3. HR cum TECH ROUND.
APTITUDE ROUND:
Aptitude is easy only. Just go through all the previous year Capgemini papers once.. questions may repeat again.. and just go through R.S. AGGARWAL for quants. Totally 50 questions in 1 hour.. But there is negative marking so please be careful when you answer the questions.. Dont mark the answers if you are not sure.. Think twice before you mark..
NOTE: you've to use only pens so be careful.. (shade it properly otherwise it'll be untidy). And negative marking is .25 mark... JUST BE CONFIDENT.. you can easily crack this round.. Totally 400 students appeared for aptitude but only 116 students got through aptitude round.. next is GD..
GROUP DISCUSSION:
After aptitude we all asked to split into groups.. And GD topics are given on the spot by HR's.. just chill.. Be CONFIDENT and Communicate well in GD.. At the same time you SHOULD NOT DOMINATE OTHERS.. Just come out with your ideas …JUST BE CONFIDENT…. From 116 students only 66 students were selected for next round..
HR cum TECH ROUND:
This round depends on the HR who comes in your panel… Some HR’S will ask tech questions also from your area of interest.. So be confident about the sub that you mentioned as your area of interest in your resume.. But I am very lucky.. The HR who came for our panel was so sweet.. only HR questions he asked us.
1) Tell about yourself
2) Hobbies
3) Role model
4) About your educational background..
5) Short term and long term goals…
This round will be simple only.. don't worry.. Don’t loose your patience…. DO UR BEST GOD WILL DO THE REST..
Finally out of 66 students they selected 47 from our college… I was the one among those 47 students…. I am very glad to be a part of this excellent company…. Capgemini visited our campus for the first time so it was excellent they recruited 47 students from our college… We are very proud to be an product of SVCE… and going to be a part of Capgemini.. I WISH ALL THE SUCCESS TO U ALL..
My only advice is be confident, have patience.. and hope for the best …ALL THE VERY BEST… DO WELL..

HR : one puzzle HR : Atlast they told to me to ask any question Finally they selected 20 students from our college & I am one of them. Hi Friends I am Charchika Shukla, student of NIT Raipur. I got placed in "CAPGEMINI" on 5th August 2008. It was a wonderful experience. That day first of all the company's representatives gave a Powerpoint Presentation, as it was the first software company to vsit our college all of us were very excited, I and some of my frnz had come with an attitude that just lets see what happens, we were not very sure, so it was like a rehearsel for us. the presentation was good, they told us abt their cmpny n all. You must check out a few details like CEO, locations, origin etc. about the cmpny, it helps. After ppt we were to sit for the written test. It was easy, there were 2 sections - Apti n LR. There were 3 different sets of the paper. Questions wre of the type specified in many of the papers on this site. 50 qs n 1 hr time. they had told us a cutt off of 10 qs in each section. I had solved 12-13 qs of apti and around 18-20 qs of LR. After about 1 n a hlf hr results were declard n to my surprise my name was there!! total 120 students were selectd. Next round GD. With my frnz help I prepared some current topics like "Nuclear deal", "terrorism" n a few abstract topics like "black" etc. they had divided 120 ppl in 10 grps each of 12 members. Then came my turn- n luckily I got the topic Nuclear deal. My panel gave us 2 min. to think abt the topic. as I had prpd it, so I decided anyhow I have to "initiate" the topic, as it yields most points and was just looking at them for start signal n as soon as I got it I just grabbed the opportunity n successfully initiated the topic - "gud afternoon all of u, I m so n so n our topic of discussion is ...." . One important thing that I learnt was - a persn must be confident while speaking, must raise the volume if he/she is not getting the chance to speak, becoz nobody is going to give u chance to speak, n at the same must listen to others attentively, make eye contact wid ur grp members it shows ur confidence n projects u as a facilitator who helps others to speak. I did all this. n also, if possible try to make urself comfortable with ur grp members if u know their names, before the discussion as it helps u to win frnz n hence good n familiar grp members to discuss with. neways, results were out n as I thought - I had a chance, I was one of the 3 students selectd from our grp of 12 students. total 74 students. So, I was in for the final round - the tech+ hr interview. It was really a mix of feelings- I was excited at the same tme a bit nervous abt the interview as I had not prpd well my technical subjects like Operating System, N/wking etc. n rest of the subjects like DS, C, C++ I had not touched them for the last week, but ya, I was done with my project works which I had done genuinely. So before goin to interview I had some 2 hrs, so I just brushed up some of the basic concepts n all. I was abt to be called on 27th no. but to my surprise, my name was called around 7:15 pm nearly 1/2 an hr earlier. I was not at all prepared, I just picked up my file from smwhere n a pen, lended by my frnd n rushed in. There were 4 panels. I was sent to a single person panel. His name was Mr. Shabreesh Menon. So I jst entered n wished him gudevning sir. He too wished me n askd me to sit. n he askd me the meaning of my name. H told. he then asked me to give me a brief intro of myself. I did. then he askd me abt my projects. I told. then askd me abt my fav subject. I told. nxt q was why did I chose to pursue MCA. I told. then he gave me a really easy puzzle. I answrd. he then askd why shall they choose me over others. I told hard work, sincere with an eg to support. then he finally askd me if I had any constraints regarding the place if I get placed. I said no. He then said ok, it was nice meeting u and did a handshake. I said - "same here sir" with a smile. and I left. I thought I had a chance, for the first time in the whole day it came to my mind- I dnt want to go home empty handed now. As I was the first one to be called of our class so evry one jst asked me abt the interview. finally, the results were abt to be out... Finally our (girls candidates, as it was getting late) results wre out - n my name was there!!! frm our class 7 girls n 4 bys have been selectd!!! Just, one thing be confident n take evry thing lightly, i.e dont be tensed n have faith in the god. n u will do it... Hi Friends This is somewhat related to the candidates who need guidance on MAINFRAMES. Mainframes paper is different from others... Actually there will be three rounds for you 1) WRITTEN TEST a) Technical b) Logical reasoning In Technical again there will be 5 sections on JCL, COBOL, CICS, DB2, VSAM. Each section carries 15 marks and you have to get atleast 9 marks in each section and there is a negative marking of 0.25 for each wrong answer. In Logical Reasoning there will be 50 questions. I dont know whether these section carries negative marking or not!!! 2) GROUP DISCUSSION In GD they give quite general topics like "WHY INDIA IS LAGGING IN OLYMPICS", "IS IT NECCESARY TO GO TO FOREIGN FOR EDUCATION". 3) INTERVIEW In interview they covered almost all topics. For me they asked so many questions on DB2 SQL and about my project. Some questions on physics also. Concentrate more on COBOL. why bcoz in our paper COBOL is some what tougher when compared to others. Gothrough the project before going to interview and also prepare your own feedback questions. The questions what you ask them will also give some impression. I asked these questions, (i) what about the training for the selected candidates? (ii) How this company will help the emplyoes to improve their technical stuff? (iii)In which areas I have to improve yet? thats it.... Results were anounced, the next day. I am very happy to say that I got placed in CAPGEMINI. Hi Friends This is omkar from D.M.C.E, Airoli, Navi Mumbai. Cap Gemini visited our college on 4th September 2008. Well let me tell u about myself, before CAPGEMINI I cleared 5 aptitude test, 1 GD, 4 TR and 3 HR and then too I was not selected. So u can think me as an experience candidate for placement) but I think my destiny was in cap Gemini. the overall procedure for the placement was as follows:- 1) U r required to fill an admit card for the online aptitude test. The online aptitude test consist of 2 sections of 50 questions. 1) Quantitative (1 to 25) 2) Logical (26 to 50). Time limit:-60 min. There was no negative marking. There was sectional cutoff. Quantities section consist of following question *) how many prime numbers r between 1 to 100? (ans :-25 (1 is not prime)) *) a problem on speed, distance, time like superman flies at 25mph, spiderman flies at15mph and phantom take 2 hrs to fly from NY to DC. If speed of spiderman is twice that of phantom and distance between NY to DC is same as distance between NY to Washington (I don't remember it well) there where couple of question like *) what is the distance between NY and DC? *) how long will superman take to travel from dc to Washington and back? *) I donno remember the 3rd ? *) the largest no between (7)-(2),(3)+(4),2*(2),6+(2)(X)=square root of X *) Arrange some numbers in descending order? If u want to crack quantitative section u have to do following section well ;- 1-numbers (5 question) 2-average(2) 3-speed, distance(5) 4-simple compound interest(2) 5-profit and loss(3) 6-progression (2) Logical Section consist of following question;- *) a problem on if it rains on Wednesday it will rain on Friday and so on and 5 questions based on the data (the question on the data were scattered all around the paper i.e 1st question was no 26,2nd was no 30,3rd was 32,4th was 36,and 5th was 38) (easy) *) a problem on playground i.e A,B,C,D want to play on ground P,Q,R,S.A plays on p and Q. B on Q & R. C on Q and S.5 question where asked on the data (easy) *) a 5 question on relation i.e A is D mom. B is E mom. F is C son. B is G aunt(not sure). And some more data was given Let me tell u, the logical question was much easy than quantitative. So first attempt logical and then quantitative. don't go for solving all question of logical; solve 15 questions of logical then go for quantitative since quantitative is difficult and there was sectional cut off. Keep last 5 minutes for guessing the answers of the remaining question. In our college out of 80, 20 was selected for interview (since less students qualified, they cancelled the GD section and directly took the interview) Well there were 2 interviews (TR and HR) My TR interview went like this I - good evening sir. Interviewer - good evening Omkar. how was ur day? I - fine sir ? Interviewer:- well Omkar tell me about you. I - (this is the main part. mention ur name, birth date, birth place, academic's 10th, 12th B.E, the order of mentioning should be ascending, don't directly start from ur B.E, also mention ur hobbies, which u pursued in 10, 12 and B.E, also mention achievement if any) Interviewer - well do u have any idea about DBMS (if u r comp or IT u should know what it is?) I - yes. Interviewer - can u develop database relation schema for a movie theatre (since I mention my hobby as WATCHING MOVIES) I - I did as he told; he in fact helped me to develop the database. Interviewer - what do u mean by normalization? I - explained with an example and also told about 1NF, 2NF, 3NF etc Interviewer - any liking for programming languages? I - 'C' programming language. Interviewer - he asked me to write a program (only logic, no emphasis on syntax) for Fibonacci series (really a piece of cake) Interviewer - asked me about my project work for current year? I - explained about my project in detailed (he was really impressed by my presentation of project). Interviewer - asked question about my project? Interviewer - do u have any question? I - sir, can u give me details of the bond we have to sign while joining? Interviewer - explained? Interviewer - well Omkar thank u? (he got up for shaking hand, tat's a sign u r on right track, I left the room and after some time I got call for HR interview. the trick for clearing TR is be honest for most times, if u donno know some answer, tell him frankly tat "u can't recollect it", if u have some knowledge tell him what u know about it and last add "tats all I can remember, sir") My HR Interview went like this:- Interviewer:-u may sit Omkar. I - thank u sir. Interviewer - tell me about ur self? I - same as above Interviewer - what about ur family background? I - told him. Interviewer - which technology r u aiming for career and why? I - sir, JAVA becoz it's an ever expanding, branching language, like JSP, JAVA net beans, JAKARTA STRUTS etc (added something about the features about JAVA) Interviewer - where do u see ur self 5 years from now? I - leading a group of 5-10 people in an I.T firm probably a project leader. Interviewer - do u know any recent news about the booming IT sector? (since I mentioned my hobby as newspaper reading) I - no sir my special liking is for world politics, and technology. sir not really interested in business. Interviewer- ok. any problem shifting to other locations? I - no. Interviewer - well thank u omkar ? I - thank u sir. I waited for 2 hours outside and finally 7 people went for HR interview (I was one of them) out of 20 selected they told me that results of those who gave HR will be out next day the rest r rejected. while rest went home dejected I was nervous whether I will be selected or not. on next day results were out (they mailed the result to our training and placement officer) out of 7, 4 were selected and I was one of them! finally! Hi Friends I m Sanjeet Sinha, a final year student of PCEA, Nagpur. I'm here to share my experience of the selection procedure conducted by CAPGEMINI on 29th july, 2008. We had to face 3 rounds- (a) Aptitude Test (b) Group Discussion (c) Personal interview(Tech+HR) There was 50 questions in the Aptitude test :: 25 questions on Quantitative & other 25 questions were Logical analysis. The questions were easy but a little time consuming. Mainly the questions were from-time and dist, profit and loss, speed and distance, and the logical part was of general common sense we can practice it from R.S.Agarwal. As i told u that the papers were easy but time consuming hence Time management was the key part for solving the paper and also look for the previous year questions. They declared a cut off of 10 marks from each sec, so it was 20 in total. About 400 students appeared for the aptitude, out of which 129 cleared the aptitude test including me. The next round was GD. A group of 10 studnts were made. It was a wonderful experience to all of us. we got the topic "should youth enter into the politics". It was a good topic to discuss and it happened the same. we had a good discussion of the topic and almost each of the member contributed more or less at their best. And out of 9 students from our group, 5 including me were selected. In total they selected 63 candidate for final round i,e the personal interview. The PI included both tecnical as well as HR. In tech they asked que from the branch u belonged and some basic knowlege of C language. After a long time I was called for the PI. It was almost 9 of the evening, I entered the cabin. I know what's the amount of pressure a candidate have on him, whenever he appears for an interview, & how was the feelings of being rejected one after another times. It was nice to giving an interview in a friendly atmosphere they created. I was asked to tell about myself, the respected madam who was taking my interview asked me from the points I mentioned to tell about myself. They asked me about the aptitute test and which part I felt easy?. I replied that both parts were good but I cud attempt more que from quanti. Next I was asked to tell my weakness and stengths. Next I was asked that although u r from mech engg. then why do want to join IT sector, I replied that due to my less marks in entrance test I cudn't get diff branch thogh I had a lot of interest in computers from the very beginning... Next I was asked if i had any query.. I replied that if I m selected wat more courses shud I had to study before joining the company? Next they asked me about my place of preferences?... I peplied that place dosen't matter for me, the quality which I provide to the company that matters much for me.. I want to share something with you, it was the 8th interview, I was appeared for. Previously I've rejected 7 times, but still I didn't give up. I want to say you people must have confidence upon yourself, that's the thing with which you can win, never become hopeless. So please try to be confident, always try to answer promptly, don't go for any false representation, as it reflects on your expression,& have faith on yourself---that's the key to crack. Don't get me wrong, you may have feel that I'm giving too many advises that are useless, but I'm telling you, whatever I've said here, all are my own experiences. I personally believe that "failure is tha pillar of success", & YES, I'VE PROVED IT BY MYSELF, I'VE CRACKED CAPGEMINI, the renowned IT company in the industry. The final result listed 41 candidates who are finally selected, & I feel very proud to be 1 of those 41. Hi Friends first of all I thank all the members of this forum for posting such useful messages, which helped me a lot and following is my interview pattern which held in Anna University, Coimbatore on 15th August Basically there were three rounds 1. Written 2. GD 3. Tech+HR Written * 2 sections were there (25 Apps + 25 Verbal) * its very easy one, but the problem is negative marking (-0.25). * Go through all the previous papers * dont attend everything, there is maximum cut off I think so * its better to get between 25-30 * its an elimination round. nearly 1600 ppls only 150 are shortlisted. GD * its not a problem, if u have basic communcation skill. * my gd topic was.. why is america dominating the world, and my frnd's topics were Is senior players required in indian cricket team, IT vs non-IT. (be updated with current events). * its not an elimination round, out of 150 nearly 110 were selected. TECH+HR * be frank, don try to confuse, be clear with basic concepts of IT and some simple programs (swap, palindrome, string reverse.....). * for me it lasts for 30 minutes. HR was very friendly. * if u donno the answer say him frankly, be bold and confident. * u can expect basic qns like temme abt urslf, y capgemini, strength and weakness. * i was asked to answer this qn "u are a team leader, ur project deadline is today and u r not able to finish it, at this situation wat will u do ?" * dress neatly, shave ur beard, be professional. * basic communication skill is the main aspect here. * out of 110->80 were selected finally.
p.s: since they need 10,000+ professionals by 2010, if u clear the written and u hv a basic tech & comm skil, there is no doubt that u r an employee of CG.

Hi Friends
I am Srividya from SNIST (Sreenidhi institute of Science and Technology). On 16th JULY '08' we had an off campus at GNITS (Narayanamma engineering college).
So... around more than 650 people attended for WRITTEN TEST (APTITUDE+REASONING).
After 1st round written test short listed candidates are 35. And next we had GD. In this round 25 got short listed. Then we had TEHNICAL/HR interview.... its went for me almost for more than 40 min.... its a stress interview.. But it went COOL!!!
After this round 20 got selected.
So... i want to share my feelings and the procedure of the all the rounds how i felt it.
ROUND 1: Written Test : Two sections
Section A : 25 questions (Quantitative)
Simple ... and most of the questions were repeated from previous papers (its MUST ... MUST .......SOLVE).I didn't solve them but any ways I got it. BE CAREFUL while answering there will be a NEGATIVE MARKING of 1/4 for each ques if wrong.
Section B : 25 questions (verbal+logical)
logical questions includes data sufficiency (RS AGGARWAL)(8 to 10 questions)
puzzle test (RS AGGARWAL)(8 to 10 questions)
conclusion or theme detection (2 or 3 questions)
PREVIOUS PAPERS (very important) out of 650-700.....35 made it to the next round.
NOTE: For section B must solve R.S. AGARWAL (VERBAL +NON-VERBAL)
ROUND 2: Group Discussion
tips: think carefully & speak what the topic demands....
give others a chance to express their views......
"GD is not all about speaking...a good listener is also a Group participant"
we have given a topic on " IS GD NECESSARY FOR ELIMINATION "
out of 35....25 were selected.
ROUND 3: Technical Round & HR ROUND:
There were 6 panels for this round.
in some panels they gave a choice of which U want TR/HR.
BUT I faced ... BOTH TR and HR
BASICS of every subjects (C,C++,JAVA,DATA STRUCTURES).
***CODING in Dynamic dispatcher, pointers, arrays, structures, Union and LINKED LIST.
AND HR went COOL !!! but he will test Ur patience .... so always BE COOL and ANSWER with SMILING FACE.
it works........!!!
1.**Communication Skills are important.
2. Tell me about UR self and FAMILY BACKGROUND.
3. In what AREAS you have improved till now?
4.STRENGTHS?
5.WEAKNESS?
6.Why only Capgemini? why not any other MNC?
7.What You Like About Capgemini?
and so many questions were asked based on my answers......
and the last question is:
8. Any questions?
U must ask questions atleast 2....... it shows how U show UR interest for their company.
Definitely ask questions regarding PPT... it shows how U have listened their PPT with interest.
so...must ask....:)
On the whole its a Stress Interview.......... But it went COOL!!!
Important: Though he confuses u...... U must "HAVE A SMILE on UR face". And basic Programming skills are required for Technical Round.
NOTE: **1.ALWAYS HAVE A "SMILE" ON UR FACE in INTERVIEW and GD.
**2.Be "CONFIDENT" on what U R saying.
**3. Speak Loudly and Clearly.
**4. Don't use the word ... "CONFUSED" always Use "I will IMPROVE" and " I am CONFIDENT" sir.
Last but not least...... I want to say to all my friends.......
" DONT GET DISAPPOINTED.. IF U don't get now..... SOME BEST COMPANY IS AWAITING FOR U"
ALL THE BEST :)

Hi Friends In general Kanbay (or) Capegemini is conducting it's test pattern as follows: -----1) written test --> mathematics + analytical (very easy)
-----2) group discussion
-----3) general interveiw (technical partly & maximum of hr)
1. Written criteria:
at 11:00 we have attended 4 written
I feel that as an enginnering student it can be answered without any preparation since mathematics is our intermediate basis & analytical is our commonsense...
Mathematics---->30 ques + }---->60 min & correct--1m; wrong--->1/4 -ve marking;
analytical----->30 ques
Cutoff---->min of 10m in each section......
No "over" cutofff...
Attended : 300
passed : 66
I Did well & luckily I'm one of 66.....
2. Group discussion:
12 a batch ; totally 6 batches... our topic is "ragging in campuses" iam the initiater ; fluent in english & started smartly by replacing, the culture of ragging with interaction among sr's & jr's.....
I Lead the team efficiently through out my discussion by
---> releasing new points when deviation in team observed
like organisation of events like sports & freshers meet to have healthy interaction among them
---> made the team to run on my words & ultimately gaining trust from them to my point
---> good body language;evoking points like by frequent get-togethers with sr's jr's can acquire academic knowledge efficiently & faster than single one's...
---> So, initiate; come with good points whenever necessary; etting consensus is quite important at the end... U get selected in gd if u follow this
Result :out of 66 ;;;"44" are selected since all batches done well as a team & group... I'M one of themmmm...
3. Interview:
absolutely it is a full pledged hr --interview.........
I Was called & I entered the rooom (I was from "ece" background)

answer: to be honest "yes" sir ...
--> Then his question was "so u speak all this formally because of interview but not really??"
answer: no sir "words are not coming from mind,,,evoking from my "heart".......""

Hi Friends
My name is Keyur. I recently appeared for Capgemini, it is a very good company. they are giving a package of 2.73lac. On 19th we had the aptitude test, then on 20th we had a GD round. After that there is technical cum HR round.
Aptitude test was of 1hr online test and it consists of 25 questions in analytical section and 25 questions in logical section.
Analytical section was tough and is very time consuming. u can refer R.S.Agrawal quantitive for this section. do that book very seriously try to give more stress on speed, distance, time, ages, simplification, permutation and combination chapters. but note that u dond waste much time in this section dont give more then 35 min to this section.
Logical is quite easy and u can score good points in this section. u can refer (R.S.Agrawal logical reasoning) for this section. do the puzzle test and data sufficiency chapters very perfectly bcoz most of the questions were from this 2 chapters. I think doing only this 2 chapters is enough.
I was not able to clear the apti and the cut off was not disclosed. may be it was around 30 right questions.
Next round was GD round many of my friends cleared it and went for tech cum HR round.

Hi Friends
I'm Aniruddha Ghosh, a 3rd year engineering student of Bengal Institute of Technology, Kolkata. I'm here to share my xperience of the capussing procedure conducted by CAPGEMINI on 24th April 2007.
We had to face 4 rounds-
a) Aptitude Test
b) Group Discussion
c) Technical Interview
d) HR interview
There was 50 questions in the aptitude test, 25 questions on quantitative & other 25 questions were logical analysis. There was no such questions either on verbal or technical ability. The questions were standard, not very easy, but not at all tough, a little bit time-taking.
Mainly the quanti questions were on basic--profit & loss, interest, fractions, speed...etc.The logical questions were on common sense, very ordinary logical questions followed by any book like R.S.Agarwal. The time management is the main key to solve the paper as per my point of view.
Total 116 candidates appeared for aptitude test, only 45 cleared the aptitude test including me.
The next round was GD. It was a wonderful experience to all of us. We have given "Lage raho Munnabhai---what's the social impact of that well admired movie". It was a very good topic to discuss, nearly all of us contribute more or less as their level best. I initiated the GD & my friends also spoke well. 9 people out of 11 were selected from our group.
In total they selected 36 candidates for technical interview. The moderator of our group was very friendly & he gave us enough time to discuss. Before starting the GD he said that--"nothing to worry about, it's just a formal discussion", which was a big relief to all of us.
In technical Interview they asked very basic questions from our semester subjects. Specially C, DS, DBMS, Networking, OS, OOP & Microprocessor. CS & IT people please make urself comfortable with your departmental subjects, if possible Please go through Microprocessor also. They ask from here also. As I'm a student of IT department, I'm giving u the brief of my interview, but I've heard from my friends of ECE department, they were asked from their departmental subjects also.
I was asked to tell the respected interviewer the names of my past 2 semester's subjects. He listened those carefully & asked questions from those subjects, I've mentioned earlier. Some questions was like---basic features of OOP-discuss, normalization, OS handling, basic questions on OS, OSI layer-little discussion, link lists, sorting & last but not the least I was asked to write the algo of Quicksort & some other questions also there, that I can't remember now. But over all there was no such contradictory questions, they never counter with your answer.
There were only 18 candidates including me cleared the technical round.
After some time I was called for HR interview. It was nice to giving an interview in a friendly atmosphere they created. I was asked to tell about myself, the respected madam who was taking my interview asked me from the points I mentioned to tell about myself. She asked me ---"what do u mean by optimism?", "how can you prove that you are optimistic?", "what do u know about software industry?", strengths, weaknesses. Finally asked me to question her about my confusions if any.
I want to share something with you, it was the 6th interview, I was appeared for. Previously I've rejected 5 times, but still I didn't give up. I want to say you people must have confidence upon yourself, that's the thing with which you can win, never become hopeless. I know what's the amount of pressure a candidate have on him, whenever he appears for an interview & how was the feelings of being rejected one after another times.
So please try to be confident, always try to answer promptly, don't go for any false representation, as it reflects on your expression & have faith on yourself---that's the key to crack.
The final result listed only 9 candidates who are finally selected & I feel very proud to be 1 of those 9.

each of 7 digits from 1,2,3,4,5,6 & 9 is represented by letter in the subtraction of problem above.
Q7. (a) Which letter is represented by the number "3"
Solution:-
3 6 5 1
(+) D E A N
-----------------------------------
S L I D E
It is given in the question that each of 7 digits 1,2,3,4,5, 6 & 9 is represented by a. Different letter in the above problem it is clear that 3+D+carry [If any] is equal to SL. But as it is clear that highest sum of there given no. can be (9+6+1)=16 so S = 1
Now it is also clear that D is either 6 or 9 but D cannot be 6, because in that case L, is equal to 0, which is not possible.
So D = 9
Now from that it is clear that L Letter is either 2 or 3 & A=4, It is also clear that E cannot be equal to 5,4,3,2,1
So E=6
Now we can help of above conclusions.
Ans. to question no.
(a) = L
(b) Which letter is represented by the no "5" ? Ans (b) N
(c) Which no is presented by the letter "E" ? Ans. (d) 6
(d) Which letter is presented by the no "6" Ans. E

Hi Friends
This is Samrat here.. I am sharing my experiences abt the CAPGEMINI recruitment held at KIIT, Bhubaneswar on 4th June.
As u guys would b knowing this year the test pattern of CAPGEMINI is Aptitude(25) and Reasoning(25).. Then followed by GD, Technical (mainly HR based and puzzles) and HR..
The apti part was very easy. actually questions are being repeated. The same question that came in BIT, Kolkata came here.. So I would suggest all the aspirants to solve the papers given properly. In our college 300 students sat for the paper. Out of it 120 cleared written. Then came the GD part..
Topics like -East or West which is the land of opportunities and Gandhigiri or Dadagiri were given. In our college we had 50 B.Tech and 70 MCA 's qulaified for written... There were 5 B.Tech GD group and 7 MCA groups each consisting of 10. So out of it 51 cleared GD.. My topic was Lagey Raho Munnabhai and its impact in modern days. I cleared GD..
Then came the Technical or Management round.. In this round either you would be asked some HR queestions like Tell Me about Yourself or some cases would be given to you and you have to get the best possible answers.. They gave me a puzzle from Shakuntala Devi and told me to complete it in 30 secs. I confidently did it in 20 secs. And they would also be askin you abt ur Hobbies and details on them.. Then I was told to wait outside for HR round..
Friends remember in Capgemini every person has to undergo thru TECH and HR.. They evaluate you on your total performance starting from written marks, GD, Tech qualities and HR...
Then in my HR round i had to face the HR Head of Kolkata--VANDANA mam. She asked me on why I joined Capgemini inspite of there being so many big companies like TCS, CTS, etc.
Then asked abt my projects in details.. Then asked me on my hobbies, Extracurricular activities.. A situation was given to me how I should overcome it with the best possible outcomes. like that..and then asked questions like Why i joined KIIT, Bbsr apart from having joined in an Engineering college in Kolkata (I am from KOL so shes asked this).. Like this..i was so confident with the answers that my HR was pleased.. It was a 20 mins Interview.. Then she finally asked me if I have any questions for her. I asked her some like what a company expects from the freshers and wat subject a fresher should be acquainted with properly b4 joining a company and like dat.. Then she told me it was over and I had to wait outside for results. Finally when results came out at 12 am ..i was lucky to find my name in the 5th call... What they said was they marked a person totally starting from Written GD, Tech, HR..mine was the 5th rank out of the 300.. After having failed to even clear the written in WIPRO, MINDTREE, L&T INFOTECH I was really very depressed and now i ve cleared CAPGEMINI --a MNC wow!!
I really bleive to get recruited u really need 70 percent luck.. They offered package of 2.75 but it woudl be revised to 3.3 lacs/annum...
Hi Friends
We had Capgemini as ON Campus at our college. It was scheduled to start by 2:30 but took some more time to start off. The basic thing was that it was an ONLINE TEST. The same day CapGemini had been to CVRCE where they had written test in the form of pen and paper.
We were given a registration no and that regn no was our id and password to login. they had a fake test for 5 min to make the students acquainted with their question pattern. after that the test began. Believe me friends maximum of the questions were repeated frm the last questions papers which are quoted on this web site. Not even a single data had changed. maximum of the questions were from the previous papers. Aptitude part was easy and RS Aggrawal is more than sufficient. reasoning part demanded the maximum time and one should be tricky in attending those coz this part asks for most of the time. total were 50 questions which were to be attended in 60 min. Time counter was running on computer, so a single more second could not be availed. as soon as 1 hour will be reached then immediately the page will be refreshed and the current profile will be logged out. So please be time efficient.

Hi Friends
I'm here to share my experience with you. CAPGEMINI visited our campus on 24th April. It was declared only the previous day and we heard that aptitude test will be substituted by GD. But on the d day we had altogether four rounds.
APTITUDE TEST
GD
TECHNICAL
HR
Aptitude test was the main elimination round. Out of 116 candidates 44 was selected. The topic for our GD was "The present status of our cricket team". The GD round went very well and all 12 members were selected.
The technical was a bit tough. Be prepared with one of your favorite subject. Questions were from C, C++, DBMS, O.S.
EX:
Define pointer.
What is Null pointer?
Algo for bobble sort, binary search
Basic questions of C++. like class, polymorphism...
Normalization-3NF, BCNF...
HR ques are also asked in this round.
Finally HR round which is very easy. 18 candidates cleared technical out of which 9 were selected. The results were declared on 15th May. so all had to wait with great tention.
My only advice is be confident, have patience.. and hope for the best.

CAPGEMINI PLACEMENT PAPER ON 5th August 2008 (Pattern)
Hello all job aspirants, i am charchika shukla, student of NIT Raipur.I got placed in "CAPGEMINI" on 5th August 2008.It was a wonderful experience.
That day first of all the company's representatives gave a Powerpoint Presentation of their company , as it was the first software company to vsit our college all of us were very excited , i and some of my frnz had come with an attitude that just lets see what happens,we were not very sure, so it was like a rehearsel for us. the presentation was good,they told us abt their cmpny n all.You must check out a few details like CEO,locations,origin etc. about the cmpny,it helps.
After ppt we were to sit for the written test.it was easy , there were 2 sections - apti n LR. there were 3 different sets of the paper.questions wre of the type specified in many of the papers on this site.50 qs n 1 hr time.they had told us a cutt off of 10 qs in each section.i had solved 12-13 qs of apti and around 18-20 qs of LR. i had given the test with " lets see what happens" hope., after about 1 n a hlf hr results were declard n to my surprise my name was there!! total 120 students were selectd .i thought " oh my god !i will have to prepare for next round GD" as i had not prpd for it at all.so with my frnz help i prepared some current topics like "Nuclear deal" , "terrorism" n a few abstract topics like "black" etc. they had divided 120 ppl in 10 grps each of 12 members.
Then came my turn- n luckily i got the topic Nuclear deal.my panel gave us 2 min. to think abt the topic.as i had prpd it ,so i decided anyhow i have to "initiate" the topic, as it yields most points and was just looking at them for start signal n as soon as i got it i just grabbed the opportunity n successfully initiated the topic - "gudafternoon all of u,i m so n so n our topic of discussion is ...." . one important thing that i learnt was - a persn must be confident while speaking, must raise the volume if he/she is not getting the chance to speak, becoz nobody is going to give u chance to speak , n at the same must listen to others attentively, make eye contact wid ur grp members it shows ur confidence n projects u as a facilitator who helps others to speak. i did all this. n also , if possible try to make urself comfortable with ur grp members if u know their names, before the discussion as it helps u to win frnz n hence good n familiar grp members to discuss with.
So , i was in for the final round - the tech+ hr interview. it was really a mix of feelings- i was excited at the same tme a bit nervous abt the interview as i had not prpd well my technical subjects like Operating System, N/wking etc. n rest of the subjects like DS,C,C++ i had not touched them for the last week , but ya , i was done with my project works which i had done genuinely. so before goin to interview i had some 2 hrs , so i just brushed up some of the basic concepts n all .
I was abt to be called on 27 th no. but to my surprise, my name was called around 7:15 pm nearly 1/2 an hr earlier.i was not at all prepared , i just picked up my file from smwhere n a pen, lended by my frnd n rushed in.
There were 4 panels . I was sent to a single person panel.His name was Mr. Shabreesh Menon.
So i jst entered n wished him gudevning sir.he too wished me n askd me to sit.n he askd me the meaning of my name. i told.he then asked me to give me a brief intro of myself.i did. then he askd me abt my projects.i told. then askd me abt my fav subject.i told. nxt q was why did i chose to pursue MCA.i told. then he gave me a really easy puzzle.i answrd.he then askd why shall they choose me over others.i told hard work,sincere with an eg to support.then he finally askd me if i had any constraints regarding the place if i get placed.i said no.
He then said ok,it was nice meeting u and did a handshake.i said - "same here sir"with a smile. and i left.
I thought i had a chance,for the first time in the whole day it came to my mind- i dnt want to go home empty handed now. as i was the first one t be called of our class so evry one jst asked me abt the interview.finally, the results were abt to be out
CAPGEMINI PLACEMENT PAPER ON 4th SEPTEMBER 2008 (Pattern)
This is omkar from D.M.C.E ,airoli, navi Mumbai. Cap Gemini visited our college on 4th September 2008.well let me tell u about myself, before CAPGEMINI I cleared 5 aptitude test ,1 GD ,4 TR and 3 HR and then too I was not selected. So u can think me as an experience candidate for placement) but I think my destiny was in cap Gemini . the overall procedure for the placement was as follows:-
The online aptitude test consist of 2 sections of 50 questions.
1) Quantitative (1 to 25)
2) Logical (26 to 50).
Time limit:-60 min.
There was no negative marking. There was sectional cutoff.
Quantities section : consist of following question
*) how many prime numbers r between 1 to 100? (ans :-25 (1 is not prime))
*)a problem on speed ,distance, time like superman flies at 25mph, spiderman flies at15mph and phantom take 2 hrs to fly from NY to DC. If speed of spiderman is twice that of phantom .and distance between NY to DC is same as distance between NY to Washington (I don't remember it well) there where couple of question like
*) what is the distance between NY and DC?
*) how long will superman take to travel from dc to Washington and back?
*) I donno remember the 3rd ?
*)the largest no between (7)-(2),(3)+(4),2*(2),6+(2)(X)=square root of X
*)Arrange some numbers in descending order?
I will tell u guys if u want to crack quantitative section u have to do following section well ;-
1-numbers (5 question)
2-average(2)
3-speed ,distance(5)
4-simple compound interest(2)
5-profit and loss(3)
6-progression (2)
Logical section : consist of following question;-
*)a problem on if it rains on Wednesday it will rain on Friday and so on and 5 questions based on the data (the question on the data were scattered all around the paper i.e 1st question was no 26,2nd was no 30,3rd was 32,4th was 36,and 5th was 38) (easy)
*)a problem on playground i.e A,B,C,D want to play on ground P,Q,R,S.A plays on p and Q. B on Q & R. C on Q and S.5 question where asked on the data (easy)
*)a 5 question on relation i.e A is D mom. B is E mom. F is C son. B is G aunt(not sure).
And some more data was given Let me tell u friends the logical question was much easy than quantitative .so first attempt logical and then quantitative. don't go for solving all question of logical solve 15 questions of logical then go for quantitative since quantitative is difficult and there was sectional cut off. Keep last 5 minutes for guessing the answers of the remaining question.
In our college out of 80, 20 was selected for interview (since less student qualified, they cancelled the GD section and directly took the interview)
Well there were 2 interviews (TR and HR) My HR interview went like this

Paper : Capgemini Latest Job Interview Placement Paper At Nagpur
Hi Capgemini Aspirants,
I am a MCA student at G.H. Raisoni Institute of Information Technology, Nagpur. First of all, let me tell you, I never knew anything about Capgemini before I started preparing for it. If you are appearing for Capgemini campus, then I would suggest you to prepare really well, because getting into this company will be a booster for your career.
I think you should know the following about Capgemini:
1. Capgemini is a Europe multinational (unlike indian borne MNCs like Infosys, Wipro and all), spread in 38 countries around the globe.
2. Its a 13.8 billion $ company. Companies like infosys,satyam,wipro are not even half of Capgemini.(TCS being 7.4 bn$)
3. Its called the gurus of consulting .
4. It stands 5th the Indian IT company rankings 2008.
5. It stands 4th in the best IT consulting services company in the recent world rankings by Forbes.
6. Capgemini is a very good company for the freshers, unlike other IT firms ,Capgemini stands the last when it comes to irregular firings. Capgemini came for a
Campus recruitment drive on Jul 29th, 2008. It was a closed campus, comprising of two colleges (G.H. Raisoni and PCEA). Around 500 (BE + MCA) students appeared for the campus.
The criteria was:
1. For BE: 60% in BE till date & no active backlogs.
2. For MCA: 60% in MCA 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). 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). I think this helps a lot.
So, I will suggest you to mug up all the questions by heart that I am giving with their answers.

25. Which one of the foll. statements can be inferred from the info above i. Yogesh is elder than Waheeda ii. Elle is older than Waheeda iii. Elle's age may be less than that of Waheeda iv. None of the above I would suggest you to go through as many Capgemini placement papers as possible. The questions are very simple. Even if you are not very good at aptitude, you can make it. Just be cool and imply your brain. After the aptitude test, the results were displayed after around 2 hrs. 129 candidates managed to clear the aptitude test and were called for GD session.
3) Group Discussion:
All the selected candidates were divided into 13 groups of 10 students each.
The GD was being conducted simultaneously in 3 rooms. Our group got the topic "Should GDs be included in selection procedures?" Clearing the GD round is easy. The coordinators were really very friendly and made all the candidates relaxed. In GD, you will have to show your participation. Do open up your mouth, but at the same time, see to it that you are not disrupting others. Dont loose confidence even if you are not a very good speaker. Just give strong points, thisz what matters the most. After about 1hr the list of candidates who had cleared the GD was displayed and they were asked to report in a room for further proceedings. 60 candidates cleared the GD round.
4) Personal Interview:
There were 3 interview panels consisting of 2 members each. The interviews were going on simultaneously. I was the third one to be called.
Me: Good evening Sir, Ma'am.
Interviewers: GE, please sit. How was ur day?
Me: Great. We had pretty good time, selection procedure was punctal.
Int: But the guy before you was saying that he is too much tired and having head ache..?
Me: It was a good day for me Sir, I am used to such schedule. (Actually they were testing if the candidate can spend long working hrs or not. Please be very positive in your answers.)
Int: How was the aptitude test.
Me: It was good. Not very tough.
Iv: Is it so because you guys got a lot of chance to cheat and ask answers from your friends?
Me: No Sir, I didnt seek anybody else's help and did all my paper of my own. If you wish, I am ready to solve it all again in front of you.
Int: (very happy) Very Good. I like your confidence. (It was a direct fire. Keep cool under such conditions and try to give good and positive answers that show your confidence against such questions.) Then I was asked technical questions: whats printf, scanf in C? Was asked to write a program that sorts both a character array as well as an integer array. (I wrote the logic) What is type casting? Memory taken by diff data-types etc. Being a MCA candidate, although I was well prepered for DBMS, Operating System, Data Structures questions, I was seldomly asked about them. Then the lady asked me a question from the aptitude paper and asked me to solve it (she didnt give me the full data).
I told her I need more data to solve it. She insisted that it can be solved with that much data only but I knew it wasnt so, so I kept sticking to my point. Then she asked me a couple of puzzles. I dont know how I performed, but I think they see your approach to solving the problem. Further, the gentleman asked me about my hobbies, my family etc.
We discussed arout 2-3 minutes about my father's work (an armyman). Finally, they asked me for my CV, a photograph, photo-copies of all my marksheets from Std 10th till MCA. Me: It was a very great time with you Sir. Iv: Same here Amit. Good Luck. My interview ran for about 30 minutes. Be cool and confident during the interview. If you are confident and have good communication skills, there are strong chances that you may be selected.
All the interviews were over by 10:15pm and we waited very eagerly for the results. We were asked to assemble in a room where the HR, Preety Ma'am came on the stage to announce the name of the selected candidates. There was a huge round of aplause for ever name being announced. To my good luck, I was also one of the selected guys. A total of 41 candidates were selected. We were then asked to maintain our aggregate (in BE or MCA) to a 60% at the time of joining failing which, we wont be accepted.

1.Quantitative 25 ques
2. Analytical 30 ques
3. Verbal ques 25 ques
The most easy section is the verbal section. Just prepare Barrons well. One or the other unsolved test papers of Barron's are replicated as it is in the papers...that means antonyms, synonyms, sentence correction .. fill in the blanks words like gaffe, contentious, altrustic, belligerent.... Quantative is so so ..i mean 60 % is easy and rest is a bit tough...go thru the geometric theorms, formulas, quadriatic and linera section well.
Analytical is the most tricker one..it's very tempting bcoz 1 paragraph may fetch you 4 correct answers...puzzles..all puzzles like 1 speaks french b speaks chinesse and english..c speaks french and ... so arrange them in a comfortable position so that they can converse with each other...other question's like a heavier then b, m heavier then i and j , k lighter then d who is d heaviest ?? so on..... 15 question's are easy but very time consuming and rest questions although seem to be easy but try avoiding to attempt all questions coz that will eat up all your time unless you are very good at analytical.....
Total questions 80
Total time 90 min's
NO UPPER CUT OFF
They say that there is no sectional cut off but still they have minimum 5 5 8 questions..

Hi Friends
I am a BE student at Kavikulguru Institue of Technology and Science, Ramtek, Nagpur. First of all, let me tell you, I never knew anything about Capgemini before I started preparing for it. If you are appearing for Capgemini campus, then I would suggest you to prepare really well, because getting into this company will be a mega booster for your career.
I think you should know the following about Capgemini:
1. Capgemini is a Europe MNC (unlike indian borne MNCs like Infosys, Wipro and all), spread in 38 countries around the globe.
2. Its a 13.8 billion $ company. Companies like infosys, satyam, wipro are not even half of Capgemini. (TCS being 7.4 bn$)
3. Its called the gurus of consulting.
4. It stands 5th the Indian IT company rankings 2008.
5. It stands 4th in the best IT consulting services company in the recent world rankings by Forbes.
6. Capgemini is a very good company for the freshers, unlike other IT firms, Capgemini stands the last when it comes to irregular firings.
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 company 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 1 hr 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 to go through all the questions by heart.
Questions are the same from the link below:
I would suggest you to go through as many Capgemini placement papers as possible. The questions are very simple. Candidates those who managed to clear the aptitude test were called for GD session.
3) Group Discussion:
All the selected candidates were divided into 13 groups of 10 students each.
The GD was being conducted simultaneously in 2 rooms. Our group got the topic "LIVE-IN RELATIONSHIP" Clearing the GD round is easy. The coordinators were really very friendly and made all the candidates relaxed. In GD, you will have to show your participation. Do open up your mouth, but at the same time, see to it that you are not disrupting others and make out a valid point atleast try to be around the point and just not beat around the bushes n blabber anything. Dont loose confidence even if you are not a very good speaker. Just give strong points, this is what matters the most. After about 1 hr the list of candidates who had cleared the GD was displayed and they were asked to report in a room for further proceedings. 60 candidates cleared the GD round.
4) Personal Interview:
There were 3 interview panels consisting of 2 members each. The interviews were going on simultaneously. The interviewer are the different ppl here ... I mean not the one in GD round..one was Preeti mam.. main HR she was there for PI n the other sir for technical.. for interview just wanna say that be very firm with your answers showing full confidence. If you dont know any answer say to them... they just asked about the dead basics of C & C++, some of Software Engg, n yes if you have gone through any project be very clear with that coz they may be asking your contribution to that... Sir also gave me to write a logic for swapping,
Try to be confident n yes keep smiling... coz it may add extra effects...
Finally the results were out... n I was the 7th to be selected... there were total 19 selections.

Hi Friends
This is Tej from GITAM. I got into Capgemini on 23 July 2008.
To get into Capgemini you need to first write a Written Test which consists of two sections
Quants 25 questions and Reasoning 25 questions.
There is no upper cut off and for qualifying to the next round you need to get minimum of 10 marks in each section. (1m for correct answer and -1/4 for wrong answer.)
Next we had a GD round where the topics can be chosen by the students or yet times given the HR.
the topics are quite simple like and elimination in GD was not that serious actually coz people who were not able to speak were given a chance by the HR himself and made to talk henceforth many of them got through GD.
Cell phones should be banned in college.
Congress vs BJP.
Infaltion and hike in petrol prices.
and many more all general topics.
Then HR round + TR round.
We never actually know whether we are gonna have a HR round or a TR round so be prepared for both coz ppl from both the sections are gonna come.
my HR was mainly TR and stress HR round. I answered most of the questions with ease and patience but I thought I was not doing that well coz at that point I never knew I was under stress interview.
I was asked many questions on different things and about friends.
I was continuously encountered with satires and various kinds of negative expressions.
This was just to test my patience and my reactions when under stress.
simply be calm, have a smile in your face. if you don't know something just tell him that you don't know it,
that'l help you a lot.
try to be as calm and cool as possible never loose hope when your interview is going on.
smile that is the only thing you can do when your under lots of stress.
Finally I was able to get into Capgemini.
over 600 people attempted written test and 150 got through written.
113 got through gd
and finally 70 got job.
Hi Friends
Im Rupa from Sri Venkateswara College of Engg. I m here to share my experience with you.. CAPGEMINI visited our campus on 7th of June 2008. There were totally three rounds..
1. APTITUDE TEST
2. GROUP DISCUSSION
3. HR cum TECH ROUND.
APTITUDE ROUND:
Aptitude is easy only. Just go through all the previous year Capgemini papers once.. questions may repeat again.. and just go through R.S. AGGARWAL for quants. Totally 50 questions in 1 hour.. But there is negative marking so please be careful when you answer the questions.. Dont mark the answers if you are not sure.. Think twice before you mark..
NOTE: you've to use only pens so be careful.. (shade it properly otherwise it'll be untidy). And negative marking is .25 mark... JUST BE CONFIDENT.. you can easily crack this round.. Totally 400 students appeared for aptitude but only 116 students got through aptitude round.. next is GD..
GROUP DISCUSSION:
After aptitude we all asked to split into groups.. And GD topics are given on the spot by HR's.. just chill.. Be CONFIDENT and Communicate well in GD.. At the same time you SHOULD NOT DOMINATE OTHERS.. Just come out with your ideas …JUST BE CONFIDENT…. From 116 students only 66 students were selected for next round..
HR cum TECH ROUND:
This round depends on the HR who comes in your panel… Some HR’S will ask tech questions also from your area of interest.. So be confident about the sub that you mentioned as your area of interest in your resume.. But I am very lucky.. The HR who came for our panel was so sweet.. only HR questions he asked us.
1) Tell about yourself
2) Hobbies
3) Role model
4) About your educational background..
5) Short term and long term goals…
This round will be simple only.. don't worry.. Don’t loose your patience…. DO UR BEST GOD WILL DO THE REST..
Finally out of 66 students they selected 47 from our college… I was the one among those 47 students…. I am very glad to be a part of this excellent company…. Capgemini visited our campus for the first time so it was excellent they recruited 47 students from our college… We are very proud to be an product of SVCE… and going to be a part of Capgemini.. I WISH ALL THE SUCCESS TO U ALL..

I got placed in "CAPGEMINI" on 5th August 2008. It was a wonderful experience. That day first of all the company's representatives gave a Powerpoint Presentation, as it was the first software company to vsit our college all of us were very excited, I and some of my frnz had come with an attitude that just lets see what happens, we were not very sure, so it was like a rehearsel for us. the presentation was good, they told us abt their cmpny n all. You must check out a few details like CEO, locations, origin etc. about the cmpny, it helps. After ppt we were to sit for the written test. It was easy, there were 2 sections - Apti n LR. There were 3 different sets of the paper. Questions wre of the type specified in many of the papers on this site. 50 qs n 1 hr time. they had told us a cutt off of 10 qs in each section. I had solved 12-13 qs of apti and around 18-20 qs of LR. After about 1 n a hlf hr results were declard n to my surprise my name was there!! total 120 students were selectd. Next round GD. With my frnz help I prepared some current topics like "Nuclear deal", "terrorism" n a few abstract topics like "black" etc. they had divided 120 ppl in 10 grps each of 12 members. Then came my turn- n luckily I got the topic Nuclear deal. My panel gave us 2 min. to think abt the topic. as I had prpd it, so I decided anyhow I have to "initiate" the topic, as it yields most points and was just looking at them for start signal n as soon as I got it I just grabbed the opportunity n successfully initiated the topic - "gud afternoon all of u, I m so n so n our topic of discussion is ...." . One important thing that I learnt was - a persn must be confident while speaking, must raise the volume if he/she is not getting the chance to speak, becoz nobody is going to give u chance to speak, n at the same must listen to others attentively, make eye contact wid ur grp members it shows ur confidence n projects u as a facilitator who helps others to speak. I did all this. n also, if possible try to make urself comfortable with ur grp members if u know their names, before the discussion as it helps u to win frnz n hence good n familiar grp members to discuss with. neways, results were out n as I thought - I had a chance, I was one of the 3 students selectd from our grp of 12 students. total 74 students. So, I was in for the final round - the tech+ hr interview. It was really a mix of feelings- I was excited at the same tme a bit nervous abt the interview as I had not prpd well my technical subjects like Operating System, N/wking etc. n rest of the subjects like DS, C, C++ I had not touched them for the last week, but ya, I was done with my project works which I had done genuinely. So before goin to interview I had some 2 hrs, so I just brushed up some of the basic concepts n all. I was abt to be called on 27th no. but to my surprise, my name was called around 7:15 pm nearly 1/2 an hr earlier. I was not at all prepared, I just picked up my file from smwhere n a pen, lended by my frnd n rushed in. There were 4 panels. I was sent to a single person panel. His name was Mr. Shabreesh Menon. So I jst entered n wished him gudevning sir. He too wished me n askd me to sit. n he askd me the meaning of my name. H told. he then asked me to give me a brief intro of myself. I did. then he askd me abt my projects. I told. then askd me abt my fav subject. I told. nxt q was why did I chose to pursue MCA. I told. then he gave me a really easy puzzle. I answrd. he then askd why shall they choose me over others. I told hard work, sincere with an eg to support. then he finally askd me if I had any constraints regarding the place if I get placed. I said no. He then said ok, it was nice meeting u and did a handshake. I said - "same here sir" with a smile. and I left. I thought I had a chance, for the first time in the whole day it came to my mind- I dnt want to go home empty handed now. As I was the first one to be called of our class so evry one jst asked me abt the interview. finally, the results were abt to be out... Finally our (girls candidates, as it was getting late) results wre out - n my name was there!!! frm our class 7 girls n 4 bys have been selectd!!! Just, one thing be confident n take evry thing lightly, i.e dont be tensed n have faith in the god. n u will do it... Hi Friends This is somewhat related to the candidates who need guidance on MAINFRAMES. Mainframes paper is different from others... Actually there will be three rounds for you 1) WRITTEN TEST a) Technical b) Logical reasoning In Technical again there will be 5 sections on JCL, COBOL, CICS, DB2, VSAM. Each section carries 15 marks and you have to get atleast 9 marks in each section and there is a negative marking of 0.25 for each wrong answer. In Logical Reasoning there will be 50 questions. I dont know whether these section carries negative marking or not!!! 2) GROUP DISCUSSION In GD they give quite general topics like "WHY INDIA IS LAGGING IN OLYMPICS", "IS IT NECCESARY TO GO TO FOREIGN FOR EDUCATION". 3) INTERVIEW In interview they covered almost all topics. For me they asked so many questions on DB2 SQL and about my project. Some questions on physics also. Concentrate more on COBOL. why bcoz in our paper COBOL is some what tougher when compared to others. Gothrough the project before going to interview and also prepare your own feedback questions. The questions what you ask them will also give some impression. I asked these questions, (i) what about the training for the selected candidates? (ii) How this company will help the emplyoes to improve their technical stuff? (iii)In which areas I have to improve yet? thats it.... Results were anounced, the next day. I am very happy to say that I got placed in CAPGEMINI. Hi Friends This is omkar from D.M.C.E, Airoli, Navi Mumbai. Cap Gemini visited our college on 4th September 2008. Well let me tell u about myself, before CAPGEMINI I cleared 5 aptitude test, 1 GD, 4 TR and 3 HR and then too I was not selected. So u can think me as an experience candidate for placement) but I think my destiny was in cap Gemini. the overall procedure for the placement was as follows:- 1) U r required to fill an admit card for the online aptitude test. The online aptitude test consist of 2 sections of 50 questions. 1) Quantitative (1 to 25) 2) Logical (26 to 50). Time limit:-60 min. There was no negative marking. There was sectional cutoff. Quantities section consist of following question *) how many prime numbers r between 1 to 100? (ans :-25 (1 is not prime)) *) a problem on speed, distance, time like superman flies at 25mph, spiderman flies at15mph and phantom take 2 hrs to fly from NY to DC. If speed of spiderman is twice that of phantom and distance between NY to DC is same as distance between NY to Washington (I don't remember it well) there where couple of question like *) what is the distance between NY and DC? *) how long will superman take to travel from dc to Washington and back? *) I donno remember the 3rd ? *) the largest no between (7)-(2),(3)+(4),2*(2),6+(2)(X)=square root of X *) Arrange some numbers in descending order? If u want to crack quantitative section u have to do following section well ;- 1-numbers (5 question) 2-average(2) 3-speed, distance(5) 4-simple compound interest(2) 5-profit and loss(3) 6-progression (2) Logical Section consist of following question;- *) a problem on if it rains on Wednesday it will rain on Friday and so on and 5 questions based on the data (the question on the data were scattered all around the paper i.e 1st question was no 26,2nd was no 30,3rd was 32,4th was 36,and 5th was 38) (easy) *) a problem on playground i.e A,B,C,D want to play on ground P,Q,R,S.A plays on p and Q. B on Q & R. C on Q and S.5 question where asked on the data (easy) *) a 5 question on relation i.e A is D mom. B is E mom. F is C son. B is G aunt(not sure). And some more data was given Let me tell u, the logical question was much easy than quantitative. So first attempt logical and then quantitative. don't go for solving all question of logical; solve 15 questions of logical then go for quantitative since quantitative is difficult and there was sectional cut off. Keep last 5 minutes for guessing the answers of the remaining question. In our college out of 80, 20 was selected for interview (since less students qualified, they cancelled the GD section and directly took the interview) Well there were 2 interviews (TR and HR) My TR interview went like this I - good evening sir. Interviewer - good evening Omkar. how was ur day? I - fine sir ? Interviewer:- well Omkar tell me about you. I - (this is the main part. mention ur name, birth date, birth place, academic's 10th, 12th B.E, the order of mentioning should be ascending, don't directly start from ur B.E, also mention ur hobbies, which u pursued in 10, 12 and B.E, also mention achievement if any) Interviewer - well do u have any idea about DBMS (if u r comp or IT u should know what it is?) I - yes. Interviewer - can u develop database relation schema for a movie theatre (since I mention my hobby as WATCHING MOVIES) I - I did as he told; he in fact helped me to develop the database. Interviewer - what do u mean by normalization? I - explained with an example and also told about 1NF, 2NF, 3NF etc Interviewer - any liking for programming languages? I - 'C' programming language. Interviewer - he asked me to write a program (only logic, no emphasis on syntax) for Fibonacci series (really a piece of cake) Interviewer - asked me about my project work for current year? I - explained about my project in detailed (he was really impressed by my presentation of project). Interviewer - asked question about my project? Interviewer - do u have any question? I - sir, can u give me details of the bond we have to sign while joining? Interviewer - explained? Interviewer - well Omkar thank u? (he got up for shaking hand, tat's a sign u r on right track, I left the room and after some time I got call for HR interview. the trick for clearing TR is be honest for most times, if u donno know some answer, tell him frankly tat "u can't recollect it", if u have some knowledge tell him what u know about it and last add "tats all I can remember, sir") My HR Interview went like this:- Interviewer:-u may sit Omkar. I - thank u sir. Interviewer - tell me about ur self? I - same as above Interviewer - what about ur family background? I - told him. Interviewer - which technology r u aiming for career and why? I - sir, JAVA becoz it's an ever expanding, branching language, like JSP, JAVA net beans, JAKARTA STRUTS etc (added something about the features about JAVA) Interviewer - where do u see ur self 5 years from now? I - leading a group of 5-10 people in an I.T firm probably a project leader. Interviewer - do u know any recent news about the booming IT sector? (since I mentioned my hobby as newspaper reading) I - no sir my special liking is for world politics, and technology. sir not really interested in business. Interviewer- ok. any problem shifting to other locations? I - no. Interviewer - well thank u omkar ? I - thank u sir. I waited for 2 hours outside and finally 7 people went for HR interview (I was one of them) out of 20 selected they told me that results of those who gave HR will be out next day the rest r rejected. while rest went home dejected I was nervous whether I will be selected or not. on next day results were out (they mailed the result to our training and placement officer) out of 7, 4 were selected and I was one of them! finally! Hi Friends I m Sanjeet Sinha, a final year student of PCEA, Nagpur. I'm here to share my experience of the selection procedure conducted by CAPGEMINI on 29th july, 2008. We had to face 3 rounds- (a) Aptitude Test (b) Group Discussion (c) Personal interview(Tech+HR) There was 50 questions in the Aptitude test :: 25 questions on Quantitative & other 25 questions were Logical analysis. The questions were easy but a little time consuming. Mainly the questions were from-time and dist, profit and loss, speed and distance, and the logical part was of general common sense we can practice it from R.S.Agarwal. As i told u that the papers were easy but time consuming hence Time management was the key part for solving the paper and also look for the previous year questions. They declared a cut off of 10 marks from each sec, so it was 20 in total. About 400 students appeared for the aptitude, out of which 129 cleared the aptitude test including me. The next round was GD. A group of 10 studnts were made. It was a wonderful experience to all of us. we got the topic "should youth enter into the politics". It was a good topic to discuss and it happened the same. we had a good discussion of the topic and almost each of the member contributed more or less at their best. And out of 9 students from our group, 5 including me were selected. In total they selected 63 candidate for final round i,e the personal interview. The PI included both tecnical as well as HR. In tech they asked que from the branch u belonged and some basic knowlege of C language. After a long time I was called for the PI. It was almost 9 of the evening, I entered the cabin. I know what's the amount of pressure a candidate have on him, whenever he appears for an interview, & how was the feelings of being rejected one after another times. It was nice to giving an interview in a friendly atmosphere they created. I was asked to tell about myself, the respected madam who was taking my interview asked me from the points I mentioned to tell about myself. They asked me about the aptitute test and which part I felt easy?. I replied that both parts were good but I cud attempt more que from quanti. Next I was asked to tell my weakness and stengths. Next I was asked that although u r from mech engg. then why do want to join IT sector, I replied that due to my less marks in entrance test I cudn't get diff branch thogh I had a lot of interest in computers from the very beginning... Next I was asked if i had any query.. I replied that if I m selected wat more courses shud I had to study before joining the company? Next they asked me about my place of preferences?... I peplied that place dosen't matter for me, the quality which I provide to the company that matters much for me.. I want to share something with you, it was the 8th interview, I was appeared for. Previously I've rejected 7 times, but still I didn't give up. I want to say you people must have confidence upon yourself, that's the thing with which you can win, never become hopeless. So please try to be confident, always try to answer promptly, don't go for any false representation, as it reflects on your expression,& have faith on yourself---that's the key to crack. Don't get me wrong, you may have feel that I'm giving too many advises that are useless, but I'm telling you, whatever I've said here, all are my own experiences. I personally believe that "failure is tha pillar of success", & YES, I'VE PROVED IT BY MYSELF, I'VE CRACKED CAPGEMINI, the renowned IT company in the industry. The final result listed 41 candidates who are finally selected, & I feel very proud to be 1 of those 41. Hi Friends first of all I thank all the members of this forum for posting such useful messages, which helped me a lot and following is my interview pattern which held in Anna University, Coimbatore on 15th August Basically there were three rounds 1. Written 2. GD 3. Tech+HR Written * 2 sections were there (25 Apps + 25 Verbal) * its very easy one, but the problem is negative marking (-0.25). * Go through all the previous papers * dont attend everything, there is maximum cut off I think so * its better to get between 25-30 * its an elimination round. nearly 1600 ppls only 150 are shortlisted. GD * its not a problem, if u have basic communcation skill. * my gd topic was.. why is america dominating the world, and my frnd's topics were Is senior players required in indian cricket team, IT vs non-IT. (be updated with current events). * its not an elimination round, out of 150 nearly 110 were selected. TECH+HR * be frank, don try to confuse, be clear with basic concepts of IT and some simple programs (swap, palindrome, string reverse.....). * for me it lasts for 30 minutes. HR was very friendly. * if u donno the answer say him frankly, be bold and confident. * u can expect basic qns like temme abt urslf, y capgemini, strength and weakness. * i was asked to answer this qn "u are a team leader, ur project deadline is today and u r not able to finish it, at this situation wat will u do ?" * dress neatly, shave ur beard, be professional. * basic communication skill is the main aspect here. * out of 110->80 were selected finally.
p.s: since they need 10,000+ professionals by 2010, if u clear the written and u hv a basic tech & comm skil, there is no doubt that u r an employee of CG.

Hi Friends
I am Srividya from SNIST (Sreenidhi institute of Science and Technology). On 16th JULY '08' we had an off campus at GNITS (Narayanamma engineering college).
So... around more than 650 people attended for WRITTEN TEST (APTITUDE+REASONING).
After 1st round written test short listed candidates are 35. And next we had GD. In this round 25 got short listed. Then we had TEHNICAL/HR interview.... its went for me almost for more than 40 min.... its a stress interview.. But it went COOL!!!
After this round 20 got selected.
So... i want to share my feelings and the procedure of the all the rounds how i felt it.
ROUND 1: Written Test : Two sections

One more Main thing is that THEY WANT PEOPLE HAVING FIRST CLASS EVEN IF YOU CLEAR ALL ROUNDS THEN ALSO THEY WILL NOT SELECT EVEN IF YOU ARE TOO GOOD IN TECHICAL OR WHATEVER.
I think this will help you and wish you all the best.
Hi Friends
My name is Keyur. I recently appeared for Capgemini, it is a very good company. they are giving a package of 2.73lac. On 19th we had the aptitude test, then on 20th we had a GD round. After that there is technical cum HR round.
Aptitude test was of 1hr online test and it consists of 25 questions in analytical section and 25 questions in logical section.
Analytical section was tough and is very time consuming. u can refer R.S.Agrawal quantitive for this section. do that book very seriously try to give more stress on speed, distance, time, ages, simplification, permutation and combination chapters. but note that u dond waste much time in this section dont give more then 35 min to this section.
Logical is quite easy and u can score good points in this section. u can refer (R.S.Agrawal logical reasoning) for this section. do the puzzle test and data sufficiency chapters very perfectly bcoz most of the questions were from this 2 chapters. I think doing only this 2 chapters is enough.
I was not able to clear the apti and the cut off was not disclosed. may be it was around 30 right questions.
Next round was GD round many of my friends cleared it and went for tech cum HR round.

Hi Friends
I'm Aniruddha Ghosh, a 3rd year engineering student of Bengal Institute of Technology, Kolkata. I'm here to share my xperience of the capussing procedure conducted by CAPGEMINI on 24th April 2007.
We had to face 4 rounds-
a) Aptitude Test
b) Group Discussion
c) Technical Interview
d) HR interview
There was 50 questions in the aptitude test, 25 questions on quantitative & other 25 questions were logical analysis. There was no such questions either on verbal or technical ability. The questions were standard, not very easy, but not at all tough, a little bit time-taking.
Mainly the quanti questions were on basic--profit & loss, interest, fractions, speed...etc.The logical questions were on common sense, very ordinary logical questions followed by any book like R.S.Agarwal. The time management is the main key to solve the paper as per my point of view.
Total 116 candidates appeared for aptitude test, only 45 cleared the aptitude test including me.
The next round was GD. It was a wonderful experience to all of us. We have given "Lage raho Munnabhai---what's the social impact of that well admired movie". It was a very good topic to discuss, nearly all of us contribute more or less as their level best. I initiated the GD & my friends also spoke well. 9 people out of 11 were selected from our group.
In total they selected 36 candidates for technical interview. The moderator of our group was very friendly & he gave us enough time to discuss. Before starting the GD he said that--"nothing to worry about, it's just a formal discussion", which was a big relief to all of us.
In technical Interview they asked very basic questions from our semester subjects. Specially C, DS, DBMS, Networking, OS, OOP & Microprocessor. CS & IT people please make urself comfortable with your departmental subjects, if possible Please go through Microprocessor also. They ask from here also. As I'm a student of IT department, I'm giving u the brief of my interview, but I've heard from my friends of ECE department, they were asked from their departmental subjects also.
I was asked to tell the respected interviewer the names of my past 2 semester's subjects. He listened those carefully & asked questions from those subjects, I've mentioned earlier. Some questions was like---basic features of OOP-discuss, normalization, OS handling, basic questions on OS, OSI layer-little discussion, link lists, sorting & last but not the least I was asked to write the algo of Quicksort & some other questions also there, that I can't remember now. But over all there was no such contradictory questions, they never counter with your answer.
There were only 18 candidates including me cleared the technical round.
After some time I was called for HR interview. It was nice to giving an interview in a friendly atmosphere they created. I was asked to tell about myself, the respected madam who was taking my interview asked me from the points I mentioned to tell about myself. She asked me ---"what do u mean by optimism?", "how can you prove that you are optimistic?", "what do u know about software industry?", strengths, weaknesses. Finally asked me to question her about my confusions if any.
I want to share something with you, it was the 6th interview, I was appeared for. Previously I've rejected 5 times, but still I didn't give up. I want to say you people must have confidence upon yourself, that's the thing with which you can win, never become hopeless. I know what's the amount of pressure a candidate have on him, whenever he appears for an interview & how was the feelings of being rejected one after another times.
So please try to be confident, always try to answer promptly, don't go for any false representation, as it reflects on your expression & have faith on yourself---that's the key to crack.
The final result listed only 9 candidates who are finally selected & I feel very proud to be 1 of those 9.

S L I D E
(-) D E A N
---------------------------------
3 6 5 1
each of 7 digits from 1,2,3,4,5,6 & 9 is represented by letter in the subtraction of problem above.
Q7. (a) Which letter is represented by the number "3"
Solution:-
3 6 5 1
(+) D E A N
-----------------------------------
S L I D E
It is given in the question that each of 7 digits 1,2,3,4,5, 6 & 9 is represented by a. Different letter in the above problem it is clear that 3+D+carry [If any] is equal to SL. But as it is clear that highest sum of there given no. can be (9+6+1)=16 so S = 1
Now it is also clear that D is either 6 or 9 but D cannot be 6, because in that case L, is equal to 0, which is not possible.
So D = 9
Now from that it is clear that L Letter is either 2 or 3 & A=4, It is also clear that E cannot be equal to 5,4,3,2,1
So E=6
Now we can help of above conclusions.
Ans. to question no.
(a) = L
(b) Which letter is represented by the no "5" ? Ans (b) N
(c) Which no is presented by the letter "E" ? Ans. (d) 6
(d) Which letter is presented by the no "6" Ans. E

Hi Friends
This is Samrat here.. I am sharing my experiences abt the CAPGEMINI recruitment held at KIIT, Bhubaneswar on 4th June.
As u guys would b knowing this year the test pattern of CAPGEMINI is Aptitude(25) and Reasoning(25).. Then followed by GD, Technical (mainly HR based and puzzles) and HR..
The apti part was very easy. actually questions are being repeated. The same question that came in BIT, Kolkata came here.. So I would suggest all the aspirants to solve the papers given properly. In our college 300 students sat for the paper. Out of it 120 cleared written. Then came the GD part..
Topics like -East or West which is the land of opportunities and Gandhigiri or Dadagiri were given. In our college we had 50 B.Tech and 70 MCA 's qulaified for written... There were 5 B.Tech GD group and 7 MCA groups each consisting of 10. So out of it 51 cleared GD.. My topic was Lagey Raho Munnabhai and its impact in modern days. I cleared GD..
Then came the Technical or Management round.. In this round either you would be asked some HR queestions like Tell Me about Yourself or some cases would be given to you and you have to get the best possible answers.. They gave me a puzzle from Shakuntala Devi and told me to complete it in 30 secs. I confidently did it in 20 secs. And they would also be askin you abt ur Hobbies and details on them.. Then I was told to wait outside for HR round..
Friends remember in Capgemini every person has to undergo thru TECH and HR.. They evaluate you on your total performance starting from written marks, GD, Tech qualities and HR...
Then in my HR round i had to face the HR Head of Kolkata--VANDANA mam. She asked me on why I joined Capgemini inspite of there being so many big companies like TCS, CTS, etc.
Then asked abt my projects in details.. Then asked me on my hobbies, Extracurricular activities.. A situation was given to me how I should overcome it with the best possible outcomes. like that..and then asked questions like Why i joined KIIT, Bbsr apart from having joined in an Engineering college in Kolkata (I am from KOL so shes asked this).. Like this..i was so confident with the answers that my HR was pleased.. It was a 20 mins Interview.. Then she finally asked me if I have any questions for her. I asked her some like what a company expects from the freshers and wat subject a fresher should be acquainted with properly b4 joining a company and like dat.. Then she told me it was over and I had to wait outside for results. Finally when results came out at 12 am ..i was lucky to find my name in the 5th call... What they said was they marked a person totally starting from Written GD, Tech, HR..mine was the 5th rank out of the 300.. After having failed to even clear the written in WIPRO, MINDTREE, L&T INFOTECH I was really very depressed and now i ve cleared CAPGEMINI --a MNC wow!!
I really bleive to get recruited u really need 70 percent luck.. They offered package of 2.75 but it woudl be revised to 3.3 lacs/annum...
Hi Friends
We had Capgemini as ON Campus at our college. It was scheduled to start by 2:30 but took some more time to start off. The basic thing was that it was an ONLINE TEST. The same day CapGemini had been to CVRCE where they had written test in the form of pen and paper.
We were given a registration no and that regn no was our id and password to login. they had a fake test for 5 min to make the students acquainted with their question pattern. after that the test began. Believe me friends maximum of the questions were repeated frm the last questions papers which are quoted on this web site. Not even a single data had changed. maximum of the questions were from the previous papers. Aptitude part was easy and RS Aggrawal is more than sufficient. reasoning part demanded the maximum time and one should be tricky in attending those coz this part asks for most of the time. total were 50 questions which were to be attended in 60 min. Time counter was running on computer, so a single more second could not be availed. as soon as 1 hour will be reached then immediately the page will be refreshed and the current profile will be logged out. So please be time efficient.

HR
Aptitude test was the main elimination round. Out of 116 candidates 44 was selected. The topic for our GD was "The present status of our cricket team". The GD round went very well and all 12 members were selected.
The technical was a bit tough. Be prepared with one of your favorite subject. Questions were from C, C++, DBMS, O.S.
EX:
Define pointer.
What is Null pointer?
Algo for bobble sort, binary search
Basic questions of C++. like class, polymorphism...

HR ques are also asked in this round.
Finally HR round which is very easy. 18 candidates cleared technical out of which 9 were selected. The results were declared on 15th May. so all had to wait with great tention.

CAPGEMINI PLACEMENT PAPER ON 5th August 2008 (Pattern)
Hello all job aspirants, i am charchika shukla, student of NIT Raipur.I got placed in "CAPGEMINI" on 5th August 2008.It was a wonderful experience.
That day first of all the company's representatives gave a Powerpoint Presentation of their company , as it was the first software company to vsit our college all of us were very excited , i and some of my frnz had come with an attitude that just lets see what happens,we were not very sure, so it was like a rehearsel for us. the presentation was good,they told us abt their cmpny n all.You must check out a few details like CEO,locations,origin etc. about the cmpny,it helps.
After ppt we were to sit for the written test.it was easy , there were 2 sections - apti n LR. there were 3 different sets of the paper.questions wre of the type specified in many of the papers on this site.50 qs n 1 hr time.they had told us a cutt off of 10 qs in each section.i had solved 12-13 qs of apti and around 18-20 qs of LR. i had given the test with " lets see what happens" hope., after about 1 n a hlf hr results were declard n to my surprise my name was there!! total 120 students were selectd .i thought " oh my god !i will have to prepare for next round GD" as i had not prpd for it at all.so with my frnz help i prepared some current topics like "Nuclear deal" , "terrorism" n a few abstract topics like "black" etc. they had divided 120 ppl in 10 grps each of 12 members.
Then came my turn- n luckily i got the topic Nuclear deal.my panel gave us 2 min. to think abt the topic.as i had prpd it ,so i decided anyhow i have to "initiate" the topic, as it yields most points and was just looking at them for start signal n as soon as i got it i just grabbed the opportunity n successfully initiated the topic - "gudafternoon all of u,i m so n so n our topic of discussion is ...." . one important thing that i learnt was - a persn must be confident while speaking, must raise the volume if he/she is not getting the chance to speak, becoz nobody is going to give u chance to speak , n at the same must listen to others attentively, make eye contact wid ur grp members it shows ur confidence n projects u as a facilitator who helps others to speak. i did all this. n also , if possible try to make urself comfortable with ur grp members if u know their names, before the discussion as it helps u to win frnz n hence good n familiar grp members to discuss with.
So , i was in for the final round - the tech+ hr interview. it was really a mix of feelings- i was excited at the same tme a bit nervous abt the interview as i had not prpd well my technical subjects like Operating System, N/wking etc. n rest of the subjects like DS,C,C++ i had not touched them for the last week , but ya , i was done with my project works which i had done genuinely. so before goin to interview i had some 2 hrs , so i just brushed up some of the basic concepts n all .
I was abt to be called on 27 th no. but to my surprise, my name was called around 7:15 pm nearly 1/2 an hr earlier.i was not at all prepared , i just picked up my file from smwhere n a pen, lended by my frnd n rushed in.
There were 4 panels . I was sent to a single person panel.His name was Mr. Shabreesh Menon.
So i jst entered n wished him gudevning sir.he too wished me n askd me to sit.n he askd me the meaning of my name. i told.he then asked me to give me a brief intro of myself.i did. then he askd me abt my projects.i told. then askd me abt my fav subject.i told. nxt q was why did i chose to pursue MCA.i told. then he gave me a really easy puzzle.i answrd.he then askd why shall they choose me over others.i told hard work,sincere with an eg to support.then he finally askd me if i had any constraints regarding the place if i get placed.i said no.
He then said ok,it was nice meeting u and did a handshake.i said - "same here sir"with a smile. and i left.
I thought i had a chance,for the first time in the whole day it came to my mind- i dnt want to go home empty handed now. as i was the first one t be called of our class so evry one jst asked me abt the interview.finally, the results were abt to be out
CAPGEMINI PLACEMENT PAPER ON 4th SEPTEMBER 2008 (Pattern)
This is omkar from D.M.C.E ,airoli, navi Mumbai. Cap Gemini visited our college on 4th September 2008.well let me tell u about myself, before CAPGEMINI I cleared 5 aptitude test ,1 GD ,4 TR and 3 HR and then too I was not selected. So u can think me as an experience candidate for placement) but I think my destiny was in cap Gemini . the overall procedure for the placement was as follows:-
The online aptitude test consist of 2 sections of 50 questions.
1) Quantitative (1 to 25)
2) Logical (26 to 50).
Time limit:-60 min.
There was no negative marking. There was sectional cutoff.
Quantities section : consist of following question
*) how many prime numbers r between 1 to 100? (ans :-25 (1 is not prime))
*)a problem on speed ,distance, time like superman flies at 25mph, spiderman flies at15mph and phantom take 2 hrs to fly from NY to DC. If speed of spiderman is twice that of phantom .and distance between NY to DC is same as distance between NY to Washington (I don't remember it well) there where couple of question like
*) what is the distance between NY and DC?
*) how long will superman take to travel from dc to Washington and back?
*) I donno remember the 3rd ?
*)the largest no between (7)-(2),(3)+(4),2*(2),6+(2)(X)=square root of X
*)Arrange some numbers in descending order?
I will tell u guys if u want to crack quantitative section u have to do following section well ;-
1-numbers (5 question)
2-average(2)
3-speed ,distance(5)
4-simple compound interest(2)
5-profit and loss(3)
6-progression (2)
Logical section : consist of following question;-
*)a problem on if it rains on Wednesday it will rain on Friday and so on and 5 questions based on the data (the question on the data were scattered all around the paper i.e 1st question was no 26,2nd was no 30,3rd was 32,4th was 36,and 5th was 38) (easy)
*)a problem on playground i.e A,B,C,D want to play on ground P,Q,R,S.A plays on p and Q. B on Q & R. C on Q and S.5 question where asked on the data (easy)
*)a 5 question on relation i.e A is D mom. B is E mom. F is C son. B is G aunt(not sure).
And some more data was given Let me tell u friends the logical question was much easy than quantitative .so first attempt logical and then quantitative. don't go for solving all question of logical solve 15 questions of logical then go for quantitative since quantitative is difficult and there was sectional cut off. Keep last 5 minutes for guessing the answers of the remaining question.
In our college out of 80, 20 was selected for interview (since less student qualified, they cancelled the GD section and directly took the interview)
Well there were 2 interviews (TR and HR) My HR interview went like this

Q7. (a) Which letter is represented by the number "3
Ans : Solution:-
3 6 5 1
(+) D E A N
-----------------------------------
S L I D E
It is given in the question that each of 7 digits 1,2,3,4,5, 6 & 9 is represented by a. Different letter in the above problem it is clear that 3+D+carry [If any] is equal to SL. But as it is clear that highest sum of there given no. can be (9+6+1)=16 so S = 1
Now it is also clear that D is either 6 or 9 but D cannot be 6, because in that case L, is equal to 0, which is not possible.
So D = 9
Now from that it is clear that L Letter is either 2 or 3 & A=4, It is also clear that E cannot be equal to 5,4,3,2,1
So E=6
Now we can help of above conclusions.
Ans. to question no.
(a) = L

Q7. (a) Which letter is represented by the number "3
Ans : Solution:-
3 6 5 1
(+) D E A N
S L I D E
It is given in the question that each of 7 digits 1,2,3,4,5, 6 & 9 is represented by a. Different letter in the above problem it is clear that 3+D+carry [If any] is equal to SL. But as it is clear that highest sum of there given no. can be (9+6+1)=16 so S = 1
Now it is also clear that D is either 6 or 9 but D cannot be 6, because in that case L, is equal to 0, which is not possible.
So D = 9
Now from that it is clear that L Letter is either 2 or 3 & A=4, It is also clear that E cannot be equal to 5,4,3,2,1
So E=6
Now we can help of above conclusions.
Ans. to question no.
(a) = L

Paper : Capgemini Latest Job Interview Placement Paper At Nagpur
Hi Capgemini Aspirants,
I am a MCA student at G.H. Raisoni Institute of Information Technology, Nagpur. First of all, let me tell you, I never knew anything about Capgemini before I started preparing for it. If you are appearing for Capgemini campus, then I would suggest you to prepare really well, because getting into this company will be a booster for your career.
I think you should know the following about Capgemini:
1. Capgemini is a Europe multinational (unlike indian borne MNCs like Infosys, Wipro and all), spread in 38 countries around the globe.
2. Its a 13.8 billion $ company. Companies like infosys,satyam,wipro are not even half of Capgemini.(TCS being 7.4 bn$)
3. Its called the gurus of consulting .
4. It stands 5th the Indian IT company rankings 2008.
5. It stands 4th in the best IT consulting services company in the recent world rankings by Forbes.
6. Capgemini is a very good company for the freshers, unlike other IT firms ,Capgemini stands the last when it comes to irregular firings. Capgemini came for a
Campus recruitment drive on Jul 29th, 2008. It was a closed campus, comprising of two colleges (G.H. Raisoni and PCEA). Around 500 (BE + MCA) students appeared for the campus.
The criteria was:
1. For BE: 60% in BE till date & no active backlogs.
2. For MCA: 60% in MCA 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). 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). I think this helps a lot.
So, I will suggest you to mug up all the questions by heart that I am giving with their answers.

None of the above I would suggest you to go through as many Capgemini placement papers as possible. The questions are very simple. Even if you are not very good at aptitude, you can make it. Just be cool and imply your brain. After the aptitude test, the results were displayed after around 2 hrs. 129 candidates managed to clear the aptitude test and were called for GD session.
3) Group Discussion:
All the selected candidates were divided into 13 groups of 10 students each.
The GD was being conducted simultaneously in 3 rooms. Our group got the topic "Should GDs be included in selection procedures?" Clearing the GD round is easy. The coordinators were really very friendly and made all the candidates relaxed. In GD, you will have to show your participation. Do open up your mouth, but at the same time, see to it that you are not disrupting others. Dont loose confidence even if you are not a very good speaker. Just give strong points, thisz what matters the most. After about 1hr the list of candidates who had cleared the GD was displayed and they were asked to report in a room for further proceedings. 60 candidates cleared the GD round.
4) Personal Interview:
There were 3 interview panels consisting of 2 members each. The interviews were going on simultaneously. I was the third one to be called.
Me: Good evening Sir, Ma'am.
Interviewers: GE, please sit. How was ur day?
Me: Great. We had pretty good time, selection procedure was punctal.
Int: But the guy before you was saying that he is too much tired and having head ache..?
Me: It was a good day for me Sir, I am used to such schedule. (Actually they were testing if the candidate can spend long working hrs or not. Please be very positive in your answers.)
Int: How was the aptitude test.
Me: It was good. Not very tough.
Iv: Is it so because you guys got a lot of chance to cheat and ask answers from your friends?
Me: No Sir, I didnt seek anybody else's help and did all my paper of my own. If you wish, I am ready to solve it all again in front of you.
Int: (very happy) Very Good. I like your confidence. (It was a direct fire. Keep cool under such conditions and try to give good and positive answers that show your confidence against such questions.) Then I was asked technical questions: whats printf, scanf in C? Was asked to write a program that sorts both a character array as well as an integer array. (I wrote the logic) What is type casting? Memory taken by diff data-types etc. Being a MCA candidate, although I was well prepered for DBMS, Operating System, Data Structures questions, I was seldomly asked about them. Then the lady asked me a question from the aptitude paper and asked me to solve it (she didnt give me the full data).
I told her I need more data to solve it. She insisted that it can be solved with that much data only but I knew it wasnt so, so I kept sticking to my point. Then she asked me a couple of puzzles. I dont know how I performed, but I think they see your approach to solving the problem. Further, the gentleman asked me about my hobbies, my family etc.
We discussed arout 2-3 minutes about my father's work (an armyman). Finally, they asked me for my CV, a photograph, photo-copies of all my marksheets from Std 10th till MCA. Me: It was a very great time with you Sir. Iv: Same here Amit. Good Luck. My interview ran for about 30 minutes. Be cool and confident during the interview. If you are confident and have good communication skills, there are strong chances that you may be selected.
All the interviews were over by 10:15pm and we waited very eagerly for the results. We were asked to assemble in a room where the HR, Preety Ma'am came on the stage to announce the name of the selected candidates. There was a huge round of aplause for ever name being announced. To my good luck, I was also one of the selected guys. A total of 41 candidates were selected. We were then asked to maintain our aggregate (in BE or MCA) to a 60% at the time of joining failing which, we wont be accepted.

Capgemini Placement Papper Pattern
Capgemini has generally 2-3 sets of question booklets but still try to appear in the second batch. Paper has 3 sections.
1.Quantitative 25 ques
2. Analytical 30 ques
3. Verbal ques 25 ques
The most easy section is the verbal section. Just prepare Barrons well. One or the other unsolved test papers of Barron's are replicated as it is in the papers...that means antonyms, synonyms, sentence correction .. fill in the blanks words like gaffe, contentious, altrustic, belligerent.... Quantative is so so ..i mean 60 % is easy and rest is a bit tough...go thru the geometric theorms, formulas, quadriatic and linera section well.
Analytical is the most tricker one..it's very tempting bcoz 1 paragraph may fetch you 4 correct answers...puzzles..all puzzles like 1 speaks french b speaks chinesse and english..c speaks french and ... so arrange them in a comfortable position so that they can converse with each other...other question's like a heavier then b, m heavier then i and j , k lighter then d who is d heaviest ?? so on..... 15 question's are easy but very time consuming and rest questions although seem to be easy but try avoiding to attempt all questions coz that will eat up all your time unless you are very good at analytical.....
Total questions 80
Total time 90 min's
NO UPPER CUT OFF
They say that there is no sectional cut off but still they have minimum 5 5 8 questions..
