ABOUT BIRLASOFT
TEST PATTERN
1.WRITTEN(Technical+apititude+english)
2.GROUP DISCUSSION
3.Tech+HR
In wirtten ,the paper consists of three sections they are.....
1)Technical (CODE CONVERSION,JAVA,DBMS,RDBMS,AND SOTWARE ENGG CONCEPTS)
2)Aptitude (TIME AND WIRK,RATIO AND PROPORTION,PERCENTAGE,ALLEGATION,SPEED,DISTANCE ETC_
3)English (SYNONYMS,ANTONYMS,SENTENCE REPLACEMENT ETC)
25-Technical (specialy java,dbms,unix)
15-Apptitude very simple
10-English 3-4(idoms phrases),3 antonyms 2-synonyms
The next is group discussion
the next follows the technical and HR round that lasts for around 20 minitues per each person..the interview is little bit tougher ....
