There was sectional cut off also so we had to make sure we optimize our performance and do well in all sections.

RS AGARWAL is the bible for getting thru these rounds. And to get thru Eng part habit of reading news paper would serve the purpose.

After you clear Written. Technical round would not be so tough. Genaral questions regarding C or C++ may be asked. Just be more attentitive while you hear the question. Answering wrong or just trying is not a prob, But if you hear the que wrong or dont hear it at all the first time, can make the Interviewer a little irritated.

After u are thru Technical. PI is just a formality.
UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ATTITUDE PROB YOU WOULD NOT BE REJECTED.

I had got a really really tough Interviwer for my PI though. The guy took just 3 interviews in the whole day. Complete stress interview. If u face the same thing, just dont break or start fighting with the interviewer, jus keep in mind he is ur God for the moment. He is gonna give u the career, the job, to change ur life for good.

Best Of Luck Guys.
