I appeared for the IBM recruitment test on 24th April, 2007 in our campus.
Luckily, I got through. Now there were 3 rounds of qualifying exams.

First round is the Aptitude test.(55 marks total, cutoff 30 for boys)
For aptitude test remember the first and most important thing is Time
Management. Practice R.S.Aggarwal, it's more than enough for the aptitude.
It has 4 sections in its paper: (1 hr test)
(i) verbal (10 mins)
This will consist of filling up prepositions in the blanks.
e.g. 1. he had been singing for a very long time, but until now he has
never been seen ____ the opera house
options: (a)at (b)in (c)on (d)none
2. the sea food did not agree ____ him.
options: (a)with (b)on (c)for (d)in
There will be atleast 2 of these questions.
Then there would be few other 'fill in the blanks'.
Then there is a comprehension. Our passage was from "Origin of Species".
It was fairly easy.
They are mostly in sequential order from passage paragraphs.
(ii) Quantitative (25 questions, 30 mins)
First question was on venn diagrams (credit card holder problem).
then there are questions on direction, 4-5 questions on data sufficiency,
4-5 questions on replacing 0 and 1 by * & #, age problems etc.
(iii) Attention to details (10 mins)
This section be careful.section is very easy but be attentive to details.
There will be 2-3 questions on similarity like
234222272451 23422272451 234222272451
find any dissimilarity.
then there will problem on relation- father, son like that
then replacing + by *, - by + and so on.
last question will be on case study.
they had given us a criteria list for admission and few biodatas for
considering whether their applications will be accepted.
(iv) Technical (10 mins)

this portion will contain checking output, choosing correct answer etc.
It will be based on DBMS, C, unix commands and may few other topics.
Essay writing:
They will provide 15 mins after aptitude test for writing this passage.
About 300 words. Aptitude marks most probably don't include essay marks.
But they do pay importance to this.
128 were selected from 200-220 after aptitude test.
Next is the GD round.
There were 12 in a group. They check your communication skills and your
ideas. Just remember you have to talk.
If u get through this u will face Tech+hr interview and mostly they will be
