Thanks for sharing Infosys exam pattern and syllabus and question paper. Do you provide model tests for practice for the same? I found a Infosys mock test at http://www.prep.youth4work.com/Placement-Papers/Infosys-Test which was really very good with over 100000 questions. But only 50 questions were for free trial. Can you please provide me a test which is absolutely free? Thanks in advance.
