Hi Friends
This is S. Sathappan (B.E-ECE 04-08) from A.M.A.C.E (Arulmigu Meenakshi Amman College Of Engineering-Tamil Nadu).
I attended IBM off campus in VEL MULTIMEDIA College, Avadi, Chennai on 21st Nov 2008.
Actually u all know it’s a 2 days process of recruitment but for us it got over on 21st itself since IBM expected nearly 1000 but only around 400 came so these are the rounds:
1) WRITTEN TEST:
a) 3 Matrices will be given each has 5 qns totally 15 qns and time limt:13 mins for tis section (no –ve marking for tis section-so attend all must k)
b) Number series completion total 20 qns time limit:4 mins for tis section (-ve marking of 0.25 is present) as the time is limited on cing the qns answer it else skip and forward BUT TIS IS DAMN EASY I attended 16/20 in tis section very easy
c) Aptitude totally 12 qns and time limit is:15 mins (-ve marking of .25 is there) (qns were from profit and loss, area, percentage, time and distance, age problems and etc but no qns similar to R.S.Aggarwal but similar to tat k so prepare well)
ONE ADVANTAGE NO SECTIONAL CUT OFF HERE. IN TOTAL ONLY THEY CHECK THE RESULT.. GALS NEVER MIND SINCE IF THEY R THRO IN WRITTEN THEY R INTO IBM BUT BOYS MAN OPEN UR MOUTH ELSE PROBLEM ONLY FOR MALE CANDIDATES GUYS..
MATRICES:
1) CLMN1 CLMN 2 CLMN3 CLMN4 CLMN5
ROW 1 J J U V X
ROW 2 U V J 5 6
ROW 3 V U J X 5
ROW 4 5 6 V J U
ROW 5 6 5 X U V
a) which has many maximum number of J s present in the following pairs:
i) row1 and column 1 ii)row2 and column 2 iii)row3 and column3 iv)row4 and column4 v)row5 column5
b) if all j’s are replaced by 3 and u’s replaced by 4 which row or column has d maximum value of 18
c)if all rows and columns are reversed and the diagonal from left bottom to right top corner has been reversed so wats the value in row4 column2
etc many guys cant remember to correct figures since I was in a hurry for answers so cant recollect the questions
