Section 4 Computers and Fundamentals (10 Ques)
Small C prog will be given and tell its output
Ques on ER Diagram
Ques on chmod 755
some more on Unix and DBMS
Out of 55 ques , try at least 35 ques should be correc
ROUND 2
After that they Called for Tech Interview and in that they will ask from ur Project if u r an experienced candidate .. otherwise they will stick to ur basics
ROUND 3 HR
Tell abt urself which is not mentioned in ur resume

Try to be cool and maintain a proper eye contact wth the interviewer with smile on ur face.. So finally out of 1000 candidates, 272 quallified the first hurrdle and finally 100 got selected ..
IBM PAPER ON 23rd FEBRUARY 2007
Hi every body, I got selected in IBM on 23rd.
I want to share my experiences with you. During the aptitude exam we had very less time. So time management is an imp factor. The apti consisted of 4 sections. The 1st was English reading & Comprehension ability test. There were prepositions which were quite dicey and articles. Then there was a comprehension passage on 2D & 3D CAD design. The second part consisted of numerical & logical ability in which there were questions on number, time ranking test from RS Agarwal, set theory, Binary, Blood relations and few problems which were very easy. 3rd part was attention ability test. Questions were from decision making, mathematical operations i.e. if + stands for *, / for - etc. Fourth part was on Computer fundamentals. Those who are from IT/CSE have an added advantage here, but as I’m from ECE I had a bit of problem. I played a bit of tic tac toe here as there was no negative marking. Guess I was a bit lucky here. It might sound easy but remember we were running short of time and cut off per section was very high about 50-60%.
Interview Questions:
Where is your résumé? Sir invigilator stapled it with my ans sheet.
Introduce yourself.
Why do you want to switch to S/W industry? More opportunities.
Write a program in C to sort a list of numbers in descending order.
What is static & dynamic logic?
Differentiate b/w analog & digital communication.
What’s Bi-CMOS?
Why do you think we should recruit you?
Which is the last book that you have read?
Tell me something about the book?
Which is your preferred location?
Are you ready to relocate?
Do you have any questions for us?
regards,
rajesh

They may ask u questions on that also as I mentioned @ Swadesh movie I was asked @ that.))
Section 1:English aptitude
I had seen the boy throwing stones …..the old lady. (use towards/on/to/at)
Synonyms lady was so seluete ,so everyone was praising her . ans : flexible
Use a an the example was easy.

Age problem like veena younger than 3 years seema who is 4 ys lder than reshma….finally who is older amongst all like 3 qs?
Sorry guys I cant provide u the details of written paper as I was then busy in solving them. But truly speaking it was easiest test I had given ever.Ya Believe me I am also avg case student like u all as my overall % up to 5th sem are 65.36.Ya now u can believe me.
Initially on the ans sheet of essay they have mentioned that they are going to conduct GD of short listed candidates but at last they haven’t , But remember guys they have just started the GD tradition in on campus interview processes.
2) Technical Interview cum Personal Interview
I would like to express my interview experience as I think it maybe useful to them who have the same dream to be an IBM’er just I had.
I:may I come in sir? He:no (amazed !!!!) then come in yaar.(so friendly)
He:have a seat plz .tell me @ u and then @ project.(answered well …like the river. Plz in project explanation draw some figures tables for the sake of his understanding he is just checking ur communication. Skills. (If u r convent student plz drop this instruction) (I am now going to provide u best of all idea to improve the English. first buy CHAOS dictionary of Marathi to English I m not selling or advertising anything(for the sake of my security) just mentioning the thing which I had done so now take the Marathi news paper or any book u like most and daily u have to translate the 10 lines of Marathi to English. Don’t think about the tenses. Just go on improving ur vocabulary. My experience tells that within 5 days u will have confidence in doing all things .Hoping that u will do it sincerely.) )
Then a complicated pgm given to solve i tried it ,don’t give up so early at least try something who knows ur luck supports u at that time and u will be able to solve it.
Asked @ family.
Why should IBM hire u?
Ans: Because of my abilities like creativeness and innovativeness, learnabilty, flexiblity,…….xplain with eg.
How many files created after successful execution of pgm?
Good!!!!! Strengths ?
Like river I answered (he got impressed)
Ibm: why we use main? Why not multiple mains? If main is not declared what will happen?
Me: compiler will raise an error message.
Ibm: what kind of error message?
Me: I don’t know exactly but I think it will say main function not defined/found.
Then he open up with real weapons and given me 10 problems list to solve within time limit of 5 minutes. Was easy but tricky I solved luckily just to give o/p of pgm (test ur c skills helped here).
IBM: Favorite sub?
I: All. (Impressed but plz give such ans if u r perfect .I was, as I have prepared IBM as my dream company.)

IBM PAPER ON 11th APRIL 2007
Hello friends,
My name is Ajitesh Pathak, a 3rd year student of NIT Durgapur studying in the branch of Information Technology. Like many before, I used to browse this website for company papers and experiences of those who got placed and believe me it feels great while writing as one. On 11th April, IBM India had visited our campus and 72 got selected out of 340 aspirants. Thank God, I was one of them.
Here are the details of the selection procedure.
There were 4 rounds…
1 . Written
2 . Essay round
3 . GD
4 . Tech + HR Interview
340 sat for the interview and 166 got selected. The cut off for every department was variable but for the ECE, CSE and IT ppl it was very high. There were 55 ques and 47 was the cut-off. Yes, believe me, tht’s the fact. 47 was the cutoff and for Non-IT depts. Like mechanical, EE, Meta, Chem.. the cut off ranged from 35 to 40. Let me brief you about the written test.
There were 4 sections…
1st Verbal Section: 10 questions
2 ques on filling appropriate words..like
[1] The money was shared ______ the two.
(a) Among (b) Between (c) a & b (d) None
[2] _______ preparing for the exams, she had also prepared a presentation.
(a) Beside (b) Besides (c) a & b (d) None
1 ques on a synonym based sentence
[3] The phone number was incorporated into the directory.
(a) Exclude (b) Include (c) Condemned (d) None
Then the next 2 were on articles, very easy ones.
Then there was a RC… on embedded systems. Basically, read the 1st para, answer the 1st ques… the ques were set according to the paras… very easy, try to do it in the end. Do the ones you are comfortable with.
2nd Aptitude Section: 25 questions
Believe me this was a good section. There were easy ques but you had to be patient and not excited. Try to keep your adrenaline flow under control….
Q on Venn Diagram…
There are 32 tables in a room. 9 tables have salt bottles on them. 1 table has salt and pepper only, 1 table has salt and sugar only and 1 table has pepper and sugar only.
3 tables have all of them. The difference between the tables containing pepper and sugar is 2. Find the following..
[1] No. of tables containing sugar. [Ans: 17]
[2] No. of tables containing sugar only. [Ans: 12]
[3] No. of tables containing pepper. [Ans: 15]
[4] No. of tables containing pepper only [Ans: 10]
[5] No. of tables containing salt only. [Ans: 4]
Then there were few symbol based ques.. Like if + is /, / is -, - is * and * is + then evaluate.. there were 4 expressions..
There was a q on odd one out… there were 4 expressions and 3 of them evaluated to 36, the answer was the one which didn’t evaluate to 36.
These comprised of ques [6],[7],[8],[9], [10]…
The next 5 were data sufficiency ones. Very easy… CAT aspirants would sail through this portion.. Very easy ones…
The next five were general questions on aptitude…like
[16] If 5 cakes takes 1 hr 30 mins to bake in an oven when kept together, then how much will it take 10 cakes to bake in an oven when kept together. [ Ans: Same time ]
[17] P and Q can write 135 pages in 27 hrs. P can write 3 pages in 1 hour. How much time will it take Q to write 42 pages. [ Ans: 21]
[18] A beats B in a 100 race by 10m . B beats C in the same race by 10m. Then by how much does A beat C in the same race. [Ans: 20m]
[19] A class took an exam and each scored either 80 or 100 marks. If 10 students gave the exam and 100 was the max score one could get, then find out how many got 100 marks if the average of the class was 94. [Ans : 7]
The last one I don’t exactly remember but that was very easy. Anyone could do it.
The next, the final 5 of this section was a concentrative portion.
If $ represents 1 and * represents 0, then find the following in this code…
There were 5 expressions. One had to find the value of each of the expression and then convert it to binary form and then encode it according to the 1st line. This was a little cautious portion, but keep your cool and don’t make a mistake in finding the binary.
One thing, normally IBM gives q’s on cubes but there were none in our paper. So future aspirants should be knowing how to do the sums of cubes. Just think upon it with a group of frnds and then it wil be fine. Also know the octal, hexadecimal systems and how to find the equivalents of numbers with decimals, like 0.4375
3rd Attention to Detail Section: 10 ques
This was the easiest section. Some patterns were given and you had tell wich patterns were same according to the options. So be calm and keep your eyes open. There were some symbol based questions also. There were 5 questions which were based on a small passage.
It was a passage about a club with some membership criteria to be fulfilled. Don’t read it. Start with the questions and relate the options with a criteria because it was a section named Attention to Detail not Reading Comprehension. So work with the options. This is where maximum students lost the time when they started reading the criteria. Play with the options.
4th Technical Section: 10 ques
This was a tough section especially for the Non IT branches.
4 ques on C/C++, 3 on DBMS, 3 on Unix.
Just brush up your C concepts ans do some intelligent guess work. But the crux lies that you are expected to have all the 1st 3 sections right if want to guarantee a place.
When I went to the Interview Room, the interviewer told me that I only made 3 mistakes in the Technical Section, the rest all were right… ie, my score was 52 out of 55… So try to have a very high score in written.
Before the Interview there was the Essay round of 15 mins and GD.
Essay was a general topic… Primary Education is more important than Higher Studies…
There was a GD round and the GD round carried a lot of marks. There were no eliminations after the GD round but it carried a lot of marks in the final score.
When I entered the interview room, it appeared that I was already selected before it. I had a 5 mins interview session. All was HR, they were asking as if it was a formality. They told me about my written test which I mentioned earlier and also my GD and essay, which was very gud as they said. They didn’t see my file neither my CV. They asked me general ques about family background, place of birth, and about extra-currics. Try to mention things which will shift the interview towards your way. Like they asked me whether I had written any complex programs in C or C++. I said that yes I had written few like the 15 puzzle program, Tic-Tac-Toe, Spiral and I purposely mentioned that I didn’t use any A.I. or some high concept but applied my basic knowledge about C like arrays, pointers… From here he asked me what is an array and a vector, Diff between Call by value and Call by reference, diff. between return() and exit() .. that’t it…
Then they commented on my high C.G.P.A. and asked me my standing in the department. Time was smoothly moving and all my answers were spontaneous. Finally they asked me why a manhole is round. I answered it almost. They shook my hand with an assured face tht I was selected and said: It was very nice meeting you, Ajitesh. The interview was over even before I could realize.
The results were out after 2 hours and 72 were selected…. My name was announced and everything went happily thereafter.
Other panels also asked many on IBM info…
CEO and Chairman ::: Samuel J. Palmisano Headquarters ::: Newyork (Main)
IBM India President::: Shankar Annaswamy Bangalore(India)
IBM India VC ::: Rajesh Nambiar and Amitava Ray..
Visit the IBM site for further details… and one for those who have spectacles…
I have one but I wasn’t asked this one. Other panels had asked what kind of lens does the specs have and draw the ray diagram showing the defect and the effect after the lens. So be confident and try to score high in written, essay and GD… interview will shorten automatically… Ppl with higher C.G.P.A. have great chance in IBM… Good Luck
IBM PAPER ON 24th APRIL 2007 AT KOLKATA
Hi guys and girls,
I appeared for the IBM recruitment test on 24th april, 2007 in our campus. Luckily, I got through.
Remember u need to have ur college ID cards or else they might not allow u to sit for the exam. Now there were 3 rounds of qualifying exams...
First round is the aptitude test.(55 marks total, cutoff 30 for boys)
So boys u have to be really good at what u do & girls u all can be almost be rest assured if u clear the aptitude test u will get through.
For aptitude test remember the first and most important thing is TIME MANAGEMENT.
Many good students don't make it through the aptitude because they lack this skill. 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, but don't read the passage first, read the questions first and then find the answers from the passage.
They are mostly in sequential order from passage paragraphs.
This part is easy, u will get through if u have basic knowlege and skills of english.
(ii) Quantitative (25 questions, 30 mins)
This part is fairly easy.
First question was on venn diagrams (credit card holder problem).
Its a bit lengthy but if u can manage it u get 4-5 questions right straight away.
then there are questions on direction, 4-5 questions on data sufficiency, 4-5 ques on replacing 0 and 1 by * & #, age problems etc
They r quite easy just remember the clock is ticking.
(iii) Attention to details (10 mins)
This section be careful...this section is very easy but be attentive to details, I would suggest do this right after the verbal.
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 admmission 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, unics commands and may few other topics...
Essay writing:
They will provide 15 mins after aptitude test for writing this passage. About 300 words. Now don't think thats enough time, u hardly get any, trust me. Start writing the moment u get the signal, but don't beat around the bush, be clear in expressing ur ideas and their justifications. Ur 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, now we were never prepared for GD as we thought there won't be any GD, but surprisingly we had and 94 were selected out of 128.
There were 12 in a group, and all the girls would be selected here, so boys u all have to open the zip of ur mouths and talk. Don't sit Dumb. U lose points for that. Don't wait for too long for others to finish.
They check ur communication skills and ur ideas. Just remember u 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 ur GD.
Now, this is totally a matter of luck, in which panel u get...
If they ask u technical questions they are generally Not plain easy, so u have to be well prepared in technical, which I was not.
As I had already got a job offer from Cognizant, I wasn't looking forward to any job in IBM. So I hadn't taken any preparation at all.
But U guys don't do this, my interview was mainly on HR so it was easy, though they tried to crack me with stress questions,
but they couldn't.
There were 2 men in my panel,
It was as follows:
me: good afternoon, sir.
sir: good afternoon take ur seat.
me: thank u, sir.
sir: i didn't get time to read ur essay, tell me about it in brief.
me: explained (they were satisfied)
sir: tell us something about urself
me: told (stress on ur extracurricular activities if u have good ones, now I was in news reading and also some simple research work)
sir: u said u did researchwork, would like to do research in IBM?
me: right now I would like join, learn and grow with the industry and in future I might think about switching to that. BLAH BLAH
sir: have u got any other job offer?
me: yes sir, from cognizant.
sir: why do u want to join IBM, cognizant is the fatest growing company now?
me: explained(< Trust me always go through the press releases or news of the company u r sitting for, because if u talk about those they really get impressed,
Just visit The Company's Home Site, U can get all details there>>)
sir: Ok, what is ur favourite subject?
me: Principles of programming language
sir: tell me diff b/w structure in C and C++?
me: told
sir: tell me a func where u don't have to define a body?
me: pure virtual func
sir: explain that.
me: (that was the only thing I couldn't recall)
sir: anyway, tell me about header files
me: BLAH BLAH
< >
sir: Ok, lets say I give u a job Not challenging, a job that class 12 boy can do, would u do it?
me: well a job is only as challenging as u make it, and i think there 's no harm in starting with a class 12 job, I can surely work my way up.
sir: tell me a phase of ur life where u went through a big change.
me: from my school to college..BLAH BLAH
sir: are u mobile?
me: absolutely
sir: ok, lets say I send u to jungle rural place and tell u set up an IT workshop, what will the 3 most important challenges u will be facing?
me:<>
(i) requirement analysis: planning, gathering info on what is necessary to get the job done, framework etc
(ii) man power= local technically ignorant people + technically experienced people --> Managing them Together
(iii) handling unexpected events that r bound to occur in any large scale job
They were totally impressed with this answer.
sir: u have any question for me?
me: sir can u tell me about the training program in ur company?
sir: BLAH BLAH, any more questions?
me: yes sir, can u tell me more about 10 yr pact made b/w IBM and Idea cellular and Aditya birla?
sir: BLAH BLAH, anymore?
me: no sir.
sir: thank u
me: thank u
Results came after an exhaustive wait till 8:30 pm. 66 were selected from 94.(Final Selection 66 from 200-220) Luckily my name was there.
Only thing u got to remember is that be confident at all times during ur interview, even if u have said something wrong or couldn't answer
something don't lose ur confidence... atleast don't show that in ur attitude. Keep ur head cool, body language calm and be confident and if u have good communication skills u will get through. The interviewers are always friendly and smiling so u be the same way.
BEST OF LUCK. SEE U ALL IN IBM.
