IBM PAPER ON 2nd JUNE
Hai friends I am Niranjan
I have been selected for IBM IN CAMPUS PLACEMENT conducted at BITS, Warangal ,A.P ON 2nd JUNE 2007. A total of 1406 students appeared 4 written test and around 220 were selected in written.
We were asked to write the ESSAY along with written test .Written test was started around 10.30 AM and ended around 12 noon which comprised of ESSAY also. Results were anounced around 3.00 PM.
GDs for 220 students started around 3.30 PM and ended at 5 PM I think so. Results were anounced at 6 PM and 164 were selected in GD.
They held INTERVIEWS on next day .There were no results after tech interview many of the students were directly forwarded to HR and some of them were rejected and they told them this directly. All the interviews were completed at 4PM . They announced the final results and 79 students were selected atlast.

Topic was "EXERCISE IS GOOD FOR HEALTH" We were given 15 mins just after written
and asked to write in not more than 200 words
3.GD
After we entered the room all the rules were changed it was not a GD but
just like JAM. We were 11 in group and each of us was given 3mins to speak on
the topic along with our introduction. Panel members were free with us they
havent stopped any of us though we ran out of time .
They want u speak .Thats it. Our topic was "ENGINEERS SHUDNT ACCEPT JOBS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES" 9 out of 11 were selected in GD from my group.
4.TECH INTERVIEW
U cant distinguish tech and HR in IBM both go on same lines Sir : tell me
abt ur self me : …………..
He asked me 3 case studies .I have answered it confidently. Hobbies and Goals ? Interested subjects? OS and C what is Virtual Memory can u change the size of VM on comp if so how? I have explained him wht is VM and how we can change it in XP . Here is where I hit my first arrow into his heart.
2 quest on DBMS just queries but I was clean bold by those 2 quest but I pretended as if I know it and trying hard to get it . Even interviewer helped me a lot but I cudnt.But I made my mark already. I infered two things in case studies TEAM WORK and NEVER GIVE UP which I implemented in later part of my interview. To get through tech one shud possess
1. COMMUNICATION SKILLS with min TECH Skills 2. very high TECH stuff 3.mesmarism I used 3 and 1
5 HR
They ask u gen quest abt ur self and what do u know abt ibm? Don t say what
u heard from ur friends say wht u know truly , I was caught on similar basis
later on I recovered and replied in my own way what I know abt ibm from roots
.At the end of i/w I was asked a tech quest what is diff betn class and object?
I have answered it in very general way he was amazed at the ans to that quet
.I‘ll make one thing clear to u ,Please put the interviewer in conversation and
let him know that ur good at communication ,creat a context to speak .many of u
thinking how can we? Every interviewer will be asking u Any questions to me ?
there u r. prepare a bunch of questions for him before u go to interview.Be
sharp ,walk dynamic have a smile on face, take as much liberty as u can don’t
get tensed,talk confident ,TIMING is very very important ,be spontaneous ,put ur
true character in front of interviewer and let him know wht u r
ITS NOW OR NEVER
STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT.
OK GUYS BYE
