IBM PATTERN & INTERVIEW - 23 FEB 2007 - KOLKATA

Hi Friends

I got selected in IBM on 23rd Feb. 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 First part 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.

The Third 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%.
