Hii guys....myself Nakul S Varge I am from PICT,pune, IT specification. IBM GBS visited our campus on 6th jan 2012.

Total of 66 students are appeared for the company and the have selected 25 including me. I am going to share my complete experience with you..hope it will help you.. First off all there is a company presentation for 10-15 minutes.Then there is a english test in which they have given three paragraphs and we have to write an abstract in 7 lines only..not more than seven line. If anyone goes above seven,then marks will be deducted.so strictly follow the rule...it was so easy..best way to pickup few lines from each para and write it down. Then there is a online aptitude test which contains only two types of questions i) Number series : find out the missing number..we have to identify the pattern..it was so easy...just practice for 15-20 questions and you will find it very simple. ii)Quantitative: Just read all the formulaes from R S Agrawal and just go through the solve problems..it is more than enough to crack this section. Many examples are based upon formulaes only. Very easy. There is no sectional cutoff. Based on this two rounds they shortlisted 39 students.

Then there is a group discussion in a group of 10 students. The topic given to my group is Print media Vs Broadcast media. They gave us 2 minuets to think and half an hour to speak. At the end of the session they gave all an opportunity to speak 2 min. i,e conclusion. Cracking GD: keep in mind guys in GD,first five persons are noticeable. try to speak in first five peoples and be specific. After your first sentence try to spoke within next 2 minutes,the gap between two sentences should not more than 2 minutes coz in this way u r not noticeable. The main thing here is if all candidates are nicely spoken,they will select complete group.My group was completely selected.

Next round was technical interview. This round is different for EnTC and Comp/IT students. For comp/IT: In technical section they have given three programs and we have to write code for that in any choice of language. my programs were i) Factorial ii)Count total number of nodes in tree ii) Insertion sort my friends also got queries from DBMS. Here they ask to explain the programs. Just explain the programs deeply...thats it.

And the final round was an HR. It was very easy and just for formality. In this round they will give a situation and ask u how to deal with it. They will go through your resume and ask some basic technical questions my question was JOIN in DBMS.Just keep smiling in this round. They are very friendly and dont worry if you stuck somewhere just tell them that I don't no.they will give you another question.It is a kind of general discussion. So guys....this was my journey and finally I got selected in IBM. I hope this will helpful for you. Best of luck........!

This is S. Sathappan (B.E-ECE 04-08) from A.M.A.C.E (Arulmigu Meenakshi Amman College Of Engineering-Tamil Nadu).

I attended IBM off campus in VEL MULTIMEDIA

College, Avadi, Chennai on 21st Nov 2008.

Actually u all know its a 2 days process of recruitment but for us it got over on 21st itself since IBM expected nearly 1000 but only around 400 came so these are the rounds:

1) WRITTEN TEST:

a) 3 Matrices will be given each has 5 qns totally 15 qns and time limt:13 mins for tis section (no ve marking for tis section-so attend all must k)

b) Number series completion total 20 qns time limit:4 mins for tis section (-ve marking of 0.25 is present) as the time is limited on cing the qns answer it else skip and forward BUT TIS IS DAMN EASY I attended 16/20 in tis section very easy

c) Aptitude totally 12 qns and time limit is:15 mins (-ve marking of .25 is there) (qns were from profit and loss, area, percentage, time and distance, age problems and etc but no qns similar to R.S.Aggarwal but similar to tat k so prepare well)

ONE ADVANTAGE NO SECTIONAL CUT OFF HERE. IN TOTAL ONLY THEY CHECK THE RESULT.. GALS NEVER MIND SINCE IF THEY R THRO IN WRITTEN THEY R INTO IBM BUT BOYS MAN OPEN UR MOUTH ELSE PROBLEM ONLY FOR MALE CANDIDATES GUYS..

MATRICES: 1) ROW 1 ROW 2 ROW 3 ROW 4 ROW 5 CLMN1 CLMN 2 CLMN3 CLMN4 CLMN5 J U V 5 6 J V U 6 5 U J J V X V 5 X J U X 6 5 U V

a) which has many maximum number of J s present in the following pairs:

i) row1 and column 1 ii)row2 and column 2 iii)row3 and column3 iv)row4 and column4 v)row5 column5

b) if all js are replaced by 3 and us replaced by 4 which row or column has d maximum value of 18

c)if all rows and columns are reversed and the diagonal from left bottom to right top corner has been reversed so wats the value in row4 column2

etc many guys cant remember to correct figures since I was in a hurry for answers so cant recollect the questions

NUMBER SERIES COMPLETION: (easiest of all) 1) 22, 34, 35, 23, 36, 37,__ 2) 10, 9, 8, 8, 9, 10, 7, 6, 5,__ 3) 1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 4, 7,__ And etc many it goes on totally 20 qns its damn easy just get the answer on first sight else forward to next qns

APTITUDE: (a bit tougher tan other sections) 1) if a printer A prints 60 words per minute and printer b prints 80 words in one minute printer A starts at 7.47 and printer b at 8.07 wen ll printer b catch up wit printer A.?

2) a fountain is of length 144cms ten width of 288 cms and depth of 91 cms so how much litres of water ll be there in 46 cms of depth in the same fountain.?

3) there is a printer consisting of color and balck white printer the rate of color toner increases from $33 to $35 and black white toner from $28 to $29 if the total rate is $1600 there is 3/5 color toners wats d hike in price..?

tats it I can remember friends. FIRST ROUND STARTED AT 10.30 AND RESULTS WERE ANNOUNCED AT 1.30 AND GD STARTED BY 2PM

2) GROUP DISCUSSION: Totally out of 500 attended only 30 were short listed for GD and 10 in each batch so from GD 28 of them advanced to next round. In GD for each and every batch there were 3 to 4 panels for us 3 panels were there.. they r helping and friendly

I was in the 3rd batch and our GD topic was ENGINEERS SHOULD ACCEPT JOBS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES OR NOT To every ones surprise all 10 from my 3rd batch got thro to the next round AND 28 from tis advanced to TECH+HR single round since members were minimum and they had to finish their recruitment process in a single day so only like tis.. GD results came out by 3.30..

3) TECH+HR: In tech+hr there were five rooms each consisted of two panels I got the room 1 where a gent and a lady were there as a panel, here s d interview wit tem:

Panel 1: good afternoon and am.. Me: a very good afternoon sir and am Sathappan (wit a warm handshake to

Then GD Gd topics r : should er. Go to out side India. money is inresponsible. exercise is good for health. brain and drain. primary education. Is better than Higher education. Nuclear deal only check communication skills, Then communication test Detail about IBM Voice/Communication test u will be given cell phone and u have to dial the server no. the

details regarding this will be communicated to u at the time of test.once u connected to the server there will be five round to check ur Voice/communication. 1st round - "Read the sentences" u'll be given a paper which contain 10-12 sentences in english. u'll be asked to read the sentences like "Read the sentence no 6..." there will be 8-9 sentences to read. (easiest round) 2nd round - "Repeat the sentences" The server will say some sentences and u have to repeat them. The senetences will be in different voices, speed, accent (easy one) 3rd round - "Make sentence from Jumble words" The server will pronounce some jumbled words and u have to make senetence from that U can't add ur own words/articals/adjectives and all to make the sentences. u have to use only the senetences pronounced by the server. (it would be a normal used sentences like - "eat i daily mango" ) (Most difficult among all) 4th round - "one word answer" The server will ask question which u have to reply in one word. Like... what is the color of milk? What is frozen water called? (ICE) Which is faster:cat or worm? (CAT) Which is thinner:finger or leg? (FINGER) how many weeks r there in a year? (52) how many minutes r there in 1 and a half hr? (90) What do u wear when u go out in cold: sweater or shirt? (SWEATER) How many eggs are there in a dozen?

(BEFORE) trees have more no. of branches or trunks? (BRANCHES) how many months are there in two years? (24) U see with ur eyes or ears? (EYES) 5th Round - "Answer in detail" The server will ask discriptive question like "What will u do if become the prime minister" The whole process will take 10-12 min. The accent will be of US, UK, Australia. The problem people face is understanding the sentences. The questions are very easy to answer but u have to catch what the server is saying.
