Getting placed after engineering or completing your graduation is almost every student’s aspiration. Some students want placement as a backup option while trying to get a seat in a post-graduation course; others might want to gain some work experience. Whatever your case might be, one thing remains constant – Need of preparing for Aptitude Tests.
Following are some companies that lay emphasis on Quantitative Aptitude, Verbal Reasoning and Logical Reasoning in their selection process.
TCS – Through National Qualifier Test (NQT)
| Section | Number of questions | Time(in mins) |
| Verbal ability | 24 | 30 |
| Logical Reasoning | 30 | 50 |
| Numeric(Quant) ability | 26 | 40 |
| Programming logic(MCQ) | 10 | 15 |
| Coding | 2 | 45 |
TCS NQT 2020 was an adaptive test with no negative marking. Also, there was no liberty to navigate between the sections, which means, you have to complete one section to go on to the another. There is NO sectional cut-off.
Infosys – On-campus exam of Infosys purely emphasizes on your Aptitude and Verbal Skills. There are other exams such as InfyTQ and hack-with-infy taken by Infosys. But students from non-IT background might not be very comfortable with the technical exams. So focusing purely on Aptitude and English could also fetch them a job at Infosys. This exam has a sectional cutoff, so it’s important to focus on each section and prepare for the worst.
| Section | Number of questions | Time(in mins) |
| Reasoning | 15 | 25 |
| Quant and Logical Reasoning | 10 | 35 |
| Verbal ability | 20 | 20 |
| Puzzle-solving | 4 | 10 |
Wipro – Time becomes a challenge here, speed becomes a necessity. Look at the number of questions vs time available to understand better.
| Section | Number of questions | Time (In mins) |
| Quantitative aptitude | 16 | 16 |
| Logical Reasoning | 14 | 14 |
| Verbal ability | 22 | 18 |
| Coding | 2 | 60 |
| Written communication Test | 1 | 20 |
All you have is barely a minute to solve the questions. So you have to be real quick. Shortcuts and other tricks would help you solve maximum questions in the given time.
As you can see, QA, VA & LR form a major chunk of the above-mentioned examinations. Preparing for the same would help you ace any of these exams. (Obviously, you gotta couple it with your technical skills).
Cognizant, Mindtree, Amdocs, Capgemini, Zensar are other companies which have Quant, Verbal and Logical in their selection process.
The core Syllabus for aptitude in any examination is going to be the same, what could change is the difficulty level. So preparing for the worst would automatically prepare you for all such examinations.
