First round is the Aptitude test.(55 marks total, cutoff 30 for boys)
For aptitude test remember the first and most important thing is Time
Management. Practice R.S.Aggarwal, it's more than enough for the aptitude.

It has 4 sections in its paper: (1 hr test)

(i) verbal (10 mins)

This will consist of filling up prepositions in the blanks.

e.g. 1. he had been singing for a very long time, but until now he has
never been seen ____ the opera house
options: (a)at (b)in (c)on (d)none

2. the sea food did not agree ____ him.
options: (a)with (b)on (c)for (d)in

There will be atleast 2 of these questions.




Then there would be few other 'fill in the blanks'.

Then there is a comprehension. Our passage was from "Origin of Species".
It was fairly easy.

They are mostly in sequential order from passage paragraphs.



(ii) Quantitative (25 questions, 30 mins)

First question was on venn diagrams (credit card holder problem).

then there are questions on direction, 4-5 questions on data sufficiency,
4-5 questions on replacing 0 and 1 by * & #, age problems etc.



(iii) Attention to details (10 mins)

This section be careful.section is very easy but be attentive to details.


There will be 2-3 questions on similarity like

234222272451 23422272451 234222272451

find any dissimilarity.

then there will problem on relation- father, son like that

then replacing + by *, - by + and so on.

last question will be on case study.

they had given us a criteria list for admission and few biodatas for
considering whether their applications will be accepted.

(iv) Technical (10 mins)

this portion will contain checking output, choosing correct answer etc.
It will be based on DBMS, C, unix commands and may few other topics.

Essay writing:

They will provide 15 mins after aptitude test for writing this passage.
About 300 words. Aptitude marks most probably don't include essay marks.
But they do pay importance to this.

128 were selected from 200-220 after aptitude test.

Next is the GD round.

There were 12 in a group. They check your communication skills and your
ideas. Just remember you have to talk.

If u get through this u will face Tech+hr interview and mostly they will be
conducted by the People who conducted your GD.

sir: Ok, lets say I give u a job Not challenging, a job that class 12 boy
can do, would u do it?

Hi there, few days back i had an interview with OPI Global(Outsource Partner International). The first round was suppose to be written Test. I wasnt sure about what kind of questions will be asked, so i just googled for the same but did not find any appropriate results or may be i was not able to find it. So basically I am gonna write about the questions and their level of difficulties with a few sample questions. basically there are 5 sections and total 40 Questions: 1. General English 2. Computer Skills (Mostly Excel) 3. Analytical 4. Aptitude 5. Finance & Accounts Sample Question Section 1 Ques - I stay ___ the city center Option - a. by b. near c. nearby d. Ques - I ___ television this evening Option - a. saw b. view c. watched Section 3 The question was too long so i just cant write here but can tell you the level of difficulty. It was pretty simple but you just need to read it care fully and you would be able to solve it easily. Section 4 I am not very good at aptitude so found this section little tough for me. Question - If 10 ppl can finish a work in 10 days then how long 8 ppl will take to finish the 3/4 of that work Option - I dont remember. Question - Car A runs at a speed of 40 miles and leaves the city at 3.20 PM, Car B runs at a speed of 50 miles and leaves the city at 4.40 PM. At what time Car B will catch Car A? Option - I dont remember the options Section 5 I just cant remember the questions but would suggest you to read abt personal, real and nominal accounts. Read little bit abt depreciation and basic stuffs.
