As is in all the exams, this section is based on the MBA pattern of examination. Section#2 This is the technical section. There is a separate paper for hardware and software. Candidates have to mention beforehand whether they want to write the software or the hardware paper. This section also carries 45 questions to be completed in 45 minutes. We are providing you with some of the questions asked in the exam, so that you have an idea of what to expect in the written test. Interview There are two rounds of interviews, viz., the technical and and theHR round. Technical and Personal Round for Software Candidates Mainly subjective questions in C, Operating Systems, DBMS, Data Structures are asked interspersed with some on the candidate's personal background. Typical questions in C and Data Structures 1.WAP to interchange 2 variables without using the third one. 2.Explain quick sort and merge sort algorithms amn derive the time-constraint relation for these. 3.Explain binary searching, fibonacci search. 4.General questions on binary trees, transversals 5.General questions on graphs and their representation. Typical Questions on Operating Systems 1.Demand paging, page faults, replacement algos, thrashing, etc. 2.Paged segmentation and segment paging. In this section, case studies are presented are presented before the candidate to percieve his reaction and his/her communication skills are tested . IBM expects teamwork and teamspirit from the candidates and their answers should reflect this attitude. Typical question is You are a project manager of a big multinational project. There is a person X, assigned to you who has the best technical skills required for the project, even better than you. But he wishes to be the project manager ,which the management does not permit, due to which he threatens to quit. All others in the group are not as competent. Talk yourself out of this situation pretending that the interviewer is the disgruntled employee and explain the necessary action.

TCS - Placement Paper - 23 Sep 06 - Bangalore Critical Reasoning Section

CRITICAL REASONING:
Three Questions were given I don’t remember the exact questions. So I would like to only mention the type of questions, which I had.
1) There were 3 cities namely A, B, C ( California ). Distance to each and the expense for taking each route was given. Costs were given in terms of dollars and cents (Relation b/w dollars and cents should be known.100cents=1$).
Four Questions based on this was asked such as which is the shortest route, less expensive etc.

2) There is a big University and a small college beside. Professors from University were M Senior Prof for Mathematics, J HOD of English Dept, L who knows Urdu and Professors from college were N who knows English well, D HOD of Latin Dept, and Y Senior Prof for Mathematics. There was a function to be conducted together by both the colleges and hence some conditions like
Two Professors from the University has to be chosen.

There cannot be Professors related to the same stream.
Team should consist of three members.
Four Questions based on the above part was given.
3) Six children are selected for the chorus line in the school play: Andrea, Beatrice, Consuelo, Denise, Eve, and Florence . There are six positions in the line; numbered 1 to 6 from left to right. The order of the children in the chorus line is determined by the following rules:
Florence cannot stand in position number 6
Denise must stand immediately to the right of Consuelo
Andrea cannot stand next to Beatrice
Four Questions were based on their arrangements.
4) Some Questions similar to this but not exact
a)If all G’s are L’s, No K’s are M’s…….and questions on above conditions(Refer to Barron’s 15th edition)
b) 2 groups Red and Brown , Marriage is not allowed in the same group…..similar to this…
