are the basics for a CSE student and there are some companies which ask only algorithms and others cover all the
CSE subjects.Coming to the interviews stay cool & think aloud so that if u misunderstood the problem ,he will help u
out. All the best c u in IBM.

and finally I went for IBM Where Their Area of Work is in Multidimensional .So I felt I chose the right company &
luckily(perhaps) I was selected.
