Placement Papers - IBM

Hi Friends

IBM came for d placement on 3rd August and started their pre-placement talk at 9:00. After which we had our aptitude test. It had 3 sections
A.Matrix questions
B.Number series
C.Mathematical Section

Key to crack the apti is believe in the almighty plus Time management!!! Leave the questions that r hard to solve...solve other questions and if time allows, then go for them.

Number series was really easy...just be quick wen u solve them...leave the ones that r not comin. In mathematics there were 12 questions to be solved in very less time. here again u ve to manage time..out of 12 i could solve around 6-7...but remember not to mark d questions which u r not able to solve. there was negative marking

Then after the Aptitute test we were given 10 minutes to write an essay...The topic was "INDIA\'s FIRST WOMEN PRESIDENT". U shold write good points in tat. They generally read that wen they call u for an interview. I was not been asked bout the essay, i think they liked it.. But many of my friends were being asked from their essay\'s.

The aptitude test finished at 12 n the results were out by 12:30.. They were really quick. There were around 51 for the apti n wen the results were out my name was there among the 41 students. Immediately it was followed by GD in groups of 10.

Let me tell u that U ve to speak something in GD no matter what ;)...Always remember they r there to select you n not reject u. This not a GD for elimination..they just want you to speak somethin...

In my case the topic of discussion was "CRIMINALS IN THE EYES OF LAW"
It will be good if u start with the discussion but if not then also no problems...listen to all n then analyse n speak...the pannel was very supporting as they were giving chance to everyone in the group. The topics r very general from daily news so make sure to read the current news. Others were given the topic "Money makes u reckless"

after Gd was over, they announced the results n we all were in...infact all people were in..no 1 was rejected...so u ve to speak n with confidence....

Then we were called for the personel interview....
they saw my resume..did not ask nethin bout it.. They asked me my favorite subject N asked questions based on that...friends remember to prepare atleast 1 subject before u go for such interviews. U should brush up ur knowledge. I said OS..they asked me questions related to it. I was not able to answr them properly as i did not revise d syllabus...But their were few questions that i answered well...u should relate ur answers with examples...They asked me if i know bout pointers n told me to write a simple swapping function...
Also some questions based on UmL diagrams just becoz i had it in course...So just remember to revise 1 subject. Then they asked me if i ve any ques for them...
I initially said no sir...but they thought i was interested so they asked me to tell without hesitation...i asked them bout the work i would be doin in the company n regardin postings....

If u r already placed then they might ask u d company n why u want to join IBM???
have a good n non-superficial answer....

okay then after waiting for bout 1 hour...they finally came in for declarin the results....
they said they will take only 15....That minute i totally lost hope...They were announcing d names one by one...n then they said Ela Vohra...n i was so thankful to God...it felt really gt to ve been selected for IBM...
