Section 4: Computer section
qs from Unix (some commands given what will be the output?) & for technical DBMS (tables given & ans regarding keys), what is Normalization?, sorting complexities worst case which will perform best? Etc.

Age problem like veena younger than 3 years seema who is 4 ys lder than reshma...finally who is older amongst all like 3 qs?
Sorry guys I cant provide u the details of written paper as I was then busy in solving them. But truly speaking it was easiest test I had given ever. Ya Believe me I am also avg case student like u all as my overall % up to 5th sem are 65.36. Ya now u can believe me.
Initially on the ans sheet of essay they have mentioned that they are going to conduct GD of short listed candidates but at last they haven't , But remember guys they have just started the GD tradition in on campus interview processes.
2) Technical Interview cum Personal Interview
I would like to express my interview experience as I think it may be useful to them who have the same dream to be an IBM'er just I had.
I:may I come in sir?
He:no (amazed !!!!) then come in yaar.(so friendly)
He:have a seat plz. tell me @ u and then @ project.
(answered well ..like the river.
Plz in project explanation draw some figures tables for the sake of his understanding he is just checking ur communication skills. (If u r convent student plz drop this instruction) (I am now going to provide u best of all idea to improve the English. first buy CHAOS dictionary of Marathi to English I m not selling or advertising anything (for the sake of my security) just mentioning the thing which I had done so now take the Marathi news paper or any book u like most and daily u have to translate the 10 lines of Marathi to English. Don't think about the tenses. Just go on improving ur vocabulary. My experience tells that within 5 days u will have confidence in doing all things. Hoping that u will do it sincerely.) )
Then a complicated pgm given to solve i tried it, don't give up so early at least try something who knows ur luck supports u at that time and u will be able to solve it.
Asked @ family.
Why should IBM hire u?
Ans: Because of my abilities like creativeness and innovativeness, learnabilty, flexiblity, xplain with eg.
How many files created after successful execution of pgm?
Good!!!!! Strengths ?
Like river I answered (he got impressed)
Ibm: why we use main? Why not multiple mains? If main is not declared what will happen?
Me: compiler will raise an error message.
Ibm: what kind of error message?
Me: I don't know exactly but I think it will say main function not defined/found.
Then he open up with real weapons and given me 10 problems list to solve within time limit of 5 minutes. Was easy but tricky I solved luckily just to give o/p of pgm (test ur c skills helped here).
IBM: Favorite sub?
I: All. (Impressed but plz give such ans if u r perfect. I was, as I have prepared IBM as my dream company.)
He asked me no. of qs on networking, O.S. DBMS (novice level), C, C++, JAVA, VC++ all things explained by me so impressed. Uptil now spent 25 min Then turned towards personal interview asked all general qs @ relocation, preferred place,etc.
Then I asked his good name. He: Mr. Pravin.
He wished me to meet again. Given clue of selection.
So plz be prepare for the test and interview and to be a part of worlds no-2 brand and s/w no 1 branded company.
Bye!!!!! All the best !!!!
