Since the aptitude tests have negative marking, donot try your luck and answer only those questions that you are
sure of.
Work on your computer science basics because that is the least requirement for the technical interview.( C, C++
,Data Structures, DBMS, Networks and Operating Systems)
For the group discussion, Make yourselves heard and at the same time, give others an opportunity to speak.
For those who lack communication skills, work on them because it is a very important aspect that every company
looks for in an induvidual.
Finally,
Look confident and think positive and keep smiling because the panel likes to see pleasant faces.
Wish u all good luck !!! :)

The Aptitude papers were very interesting to solve and not boring at all.It was just for 45 mins and hence not very
lengthy.
The group discussion had an easy topic and all that anyone needs to clear this round is to have good
communication skills.
The technical interview went on smooth because I had worked on my Basics and got them right.
The HR interview was good and easy.
Finally after I had cleared all the above rounds, I was called inside to fill the Employment Application forms and
thats when we came to know that we got selected by IBM !!
