IBM PAPER ON 3 August 2007 Pune
IBM PAPER ON 3rd AUGUST AT PUNE
Hello friends...
I m goin to share my experience with u that i had during the selection procedure of IBM. They 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...Imediately 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 didi 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 hey 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 moght 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....

IBM PAPER ON - 6 August 2007 BESU,Shibpur (WB)
IBM PAPER ON 6th AUGUST
Hi folks,
I am Arnab Mandal, a student of final year BE (IT) and a fresh IBMer. I would like to share my experience with you. On 6th August,2007 IBM visited our campus (Bengal Engineering and Science University,Shibpur) to recruit for GBS. The programme started with a nice PPT followed by the written test, GD and PI.
WRITTEN TEST
1. Data Matrices-
3 data matrices
5 questions from each
Total 15 questions
Time: 13 minutes
No negative marking
Try to attempt at least 10 correctly. Mark all as there is no negative marking for this section.
2. Number Series-
20 questions
Time: 4 minutes
Negative marking: 1/4 each
Try to attempt at least 10 correctly. Be careful as there is negative marking. Don't make blind guess. It is very easy section. Very simple series will be there.
3. Quantitative Ability/Analytical Section-
12 questions
Time:15 minutes
Negative marking: 1/4 each
Tricky questions from Profit & Loss, Time and Distance, Time and Work, Ratio and Proportion, Simple and Compound Interests etc.
Try to attempt at least 5 correctly. Be careful as there is negative marking. Don't make blind guess. One thing that you should remember is TIME MANAGEMENT. We were told to write an essay on "Politicians shold be honest" within 15 minutes.
GROUP DISCUSSION
Our topic was "Love marriage is better than arrange marriage". There were 10 persons in a group and duration was around 15 minutes. First 10 minutes were for open discussion and then everybody was given 30 seconds to summarize. Express your views only. It is not necessary that you have to take one side; you can take dual-stand also. Speak confidently for a few minutes.
PERSONAL INTERVIEW
Interviewers were very cool and friendly. My interview started with my introduction. They asked some questions on my weakness. Then there were a few HR questions. Those were very easy to answer. Then there were a few questions from technical subjects viz. Digital Circuits, OS, C and System Analysis and Design. I couldn't answer all of them. They actually look for your attitude, aptitude and learnability. Be confident and show them that you have good soft skills and adequate techical skill.Try to shift the discussion to your areas of interest if there is any scope. So, be cool, calm and confident and you'll be able to become an IBMer tomorrow. Finally, they declared the results in a gallery.
Total students appeared: more than 100
Short listed after WT: 52
Short listed after GD: 42
Total selection from our university was 32 (18 from UG and 14 from PG students).
See you soon at IBM.

IBM PAPER ON 6 August 2007 Bengal Engg & Science University, Shibpur
IBM PAPER ON 6th AUGUST
Hi , IBM GBS came to our college on 6th august.
The selection procedure has 4 rounds--
1. Aptitude test
it had 3 sections.............
first section was on matrices. 15 qs with time 12 mins( no negative marks). it had 3 5x5 matrices. then there were 5 qs from each matrix...............all qs were of reasoning type, somethink like if rows 2 & 4 are interchanged, what is the 3rd element in 3rd column. Then, start at a particular element say upper right corner, follow certain directions and say the element u arrive at............replacing one symbol with other and qs related to that..............easy enough............just have to be fast in cracking those sums...........
second section was related to number series. 20 qs with 4 mins time(1/4th negative marks). Series were easy enough, but u have to be really quick. some sequence of numbers will be given, u have to identify next one in series
third section was arithmetic,12 qs with 15 mins time(1/4 negative marks). problems were from time&work, interest, time,dist&speed.somewhat easy, though u have to do calculations really quickly
2. Essay writing
u will be given 15 mins to write an essay. our topic was "politicians should be honest". They just want to see whether u have the capability to clearly write ur thoughts. Wont be a major hurdle as essay writing will be evaluated, if at all, during interview.
out of 120 odd students, 52 cleared aptitude test
3 GD
we were divided into groups of 10 and then there was a gd. topic was "love marriage is better than arrange marriage"
they will give 10 mins for open house, then 30 secs at the end 4 each one to express his views. It is a selection rather than rejection round. So, if u speak up in gd, u will almost be through to next round.
43 cleared this round
4 Interview
hr and technical will happen simultaneously. it lasts 4 abt 30 mins per person. not very difficult though. Just remember to be confident and keep a smile on ur face. They will be friendly. at last, 32 cleared
All the best guys
