the next was an english section,it had
sentence correction
jumbled sentences
critical reasoning
2-3 passages
2 sets of logical reasonig questions
 and some questions on psychometric...
no questions from quantitative aptitude
the next was GD AND INTERVIEW..my interview panel
asked questions more on real time problems (situations)
and asked me to devise a soltn strategy....
on the whole if u clear the first round u r thru..
