Cleared written: 68

Initially they told us that they are going to conduct GD but at last they
haven't but remember they have just started the GD tradition in on campus
interview processes.

1. Written test (Meritrac): 55 qs to be answered in one Hour & an essay to
be written within 10 mins. (in our group essay topic was "chances of India
in winning world cup")

For Aptitude test, paper was easy but time consuming in our case it was
30+ & sectional cutoffs for only CSE, IT, MCA, MTECH students so
consistency in each section is required.

Section 1: English aptitude (article preposition, RC, Synonyms)
Section 2: quantitative aptitude
Section 3: analytical ability
Section 4: computer section

problem. do you go for amusements? NO so what will u do?

collegues & for this reason I can sacrifice.

Ibm: You told that your hobbies are listening to music & singing. What
kind of music you like to listen? What are the diff types of music explain

Ibm: All of them smiled & said its really very nice to meet u.

Me: I smiled & greeted all of them ..
