3 . GD

4 . Tech + HR Interview

340 sat for the interview and 166 got selected. The cut off for every department was variable but for the ECE, CSE and IT ppl it was very high. There were 55 ques and 47 was the cut-off. Yes, believe me, tht’s the fact. 47 was the cutoff and for Non-IT depts. Like mechanical, EE, Meta, Chem.. the cut off ranged from 35 to 40. Let me brief you about the written test.

There were 4 sections…

1st Verbal Section: 10 questions

2 ques on filling appropriate words..like

[1] The money was shared ______ the two.

(a) Among (b) Between (c) a & b (d) None

[2] _______ preparing for the exams, she had also prepared a presentation.

(a) Beside  (b) Besides  (c) a & b (d) None

1 ques on a synonym based sentence

[3] The phone number was incorporated into the directory.
(a) Exclude (b) Include (c) Condemned (d) None

Then the next 2 were on articles, very easy ones.

Then there was a RC… on embedded systems. Basically, read the 1st para, answer the 1st ques… the ques were set according to the paras… very easy, try to do it in the end. Do the ones you are comfortable with.

2nd Aptitude Section: 25 questions

Believe me this was a good section. There were easy ques but you had to be patient and not excited. Try to keep your adrenaline flow under control….

Q on Venn Diagram…

There are 32 tables in a room. 9 tables have salt bottles on them. 1 table has salt and pepper only, 1 table has salt and sugar only and 1 table has pepper and sugar only.

3 tables have all of them. The difference between the tables containing pepper and sugar is 2. Find the following..

[1] No. of tables containing sugar. [Ans: 17]

[2] No. of tables containing sugar only. [Ans: 12]

[3] No. of tables containing pepper. [Ans: 15]

[4] No. of tables containing pepper only [Ans: 10]

[5] No. of tables containing salt only. [Ans: 4]

Then there were few symbol based ques.. Like if + is /, / is -, - is * and * is +  then evaluate.. there were 4 expressions..

There was a q on odd one out… there were 4 expressions and 3 of them evaluated to 36, the answer was the one which didn’t evaluate to 36.

These comprised of  ques [6],[7],[8],[9], [10]…

The next 5 were data sufficiency ones. Very easy… CAT aspirants would sail through this portion.. Very easy ones…

The next five were general questions on aptitude…like

[16] If 5 cakes takes 1 hr 30 mins to bake in an oven when kept together, then how much will it take 10 cakes to bake in an oven when kept together. [ Ans: Same time ]

[17] P and Q can write 135 pages in 27 hrs. P can write 3 pages in 1 hour. How much time will it take Q to write 42 pages. [ Ans: 21]

[18] A beats B in a 100 race by 10m . B beats C in the same race by 10m. Then by how much does A beat C in the same race. [Ans: 20m]

[19] A class took an exam and each scored either 80 or 100 marks. If 10 students gave the exam and 100 was the max score one could get, then find out how many got 100 marks if the average of the class was 94. [Ans : 7]

The last one I don’t exactly remember but that was very easy. Anyone could do it.

The next, the final 5 of this section was a concentrative portion.

If  $ represents 1 and * represents 0, then find the following in this code…

There were 5 expressions. One had to find the value of each of the expression and then convert it to binary form and then encode it according to the 1st line. This was a little cautious portion, but keep your cool and don’t make a mistake in finding the binary.

One thing, normally IBM gives q’s on cubes but there were none in our paper. So future aspirants should be knowing how to do the sums of cubes. Just think upon it with  a group of frnds and then it wil be fine. Also know the octal, hexadecimal systems and how to find the equivalents of numbers with decimals, like 0.4375

3rd Attention to Detail Section: 10 ques

This was the easiest section. Some patterns were given and you had tell wich patterns were same according to the options. So be calm and keep your eyes open. There were some symbol based questions also. There were 5 questions which were based on a small passage.

It was a passage about a club with some membership criteria to be fulfilled. Don’t read it. Start with the questions and relate the options with a criteria because it was a section named Attention to Detail not Reading Comprehension. So work with the options. This is where maximum students lost the time when they started reading the criteria. Play with the options.

4th Technical Section: 10 ques

This was a tough section especially for the Non IT branches.

4 ques on C/C++, 3 on DBMS, 3 on Unix.

(ii) Quantitative (25 questions, 30 mins)
This part is fairly easy.
First question was on venn diagrams (credit card holder problem).
Its a bit lengthy but if u can manage it u get 4-5 questions right straight away.
then there are questions on direction, 4-5 questions on data sufficiency, 4-5 ques on replacing 0 and 1 by * & #, age problems etc
They r quite easy just remember the clock is ticking.

(iii) Attention to details (10 mins)
This section be careful…this section is very easy but be attentive to details, I would suggest do this right after the verbal.
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 admmission 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, unics commands and may few other topics…

Essay writing:
They will provide 15 mins after aptitude test for writing this passage. About 300 words. Now don’t think thats enough time, u hardly get any, trust me. Start writing the moment u get the signal, but don’t beat around the bush, be clear in expressing ur ideas and their justifications. Ur aptitude marks most probably don’t include essay marks. But they do pay importance to this.
