The process is very simple ibm peoples are very supportive . RS agarwal is good to study for written round
i am an electronics and communication students basics off c and C++ is must don get afraid only basics is enough even i don’t know how to write  programs. be confident have faith in god…
The pattern was
SECTION-1 [  matrix test] 15 question – 13 min.[ No negative marks for this section]
SECTION-2  [ Number series test]  20 question  4 min. 15 mins mathematical[Negative marking(1/4) is there for this section.]
SECTION-3[Analytical type(Apti)]12 question 15 min.[ Negative marking(1/4) is there for this
section.]
1.WRITTEN TEST: 
This is the new pattern of IBM. this new pattern has been implemented. it contains 3 sections.

SECTION 1, 

some information is given in the form of matrices, with headings for rows as row1,row2 …. Etc.For columns with headings
as column1,column 2…. Etc.those matrices r as follows.
Column1           column2           column3           column4
Row1                   @                    *                         2                      Z
Row2                    S                      K                      ?                      $
Row3                    I                       P                       Z                      +
Row4                    #                      8                       F                      Q
Questions r as follows ( not same questions but same type)
1.if column1 , Column 4 r interchanged and row3 , row4 r interchanged and diagonal elements from top left to bottom right r  written in reverse order then what is the element in row1 and column 1?
2.if  Z’s in odd numbered rows r replced with 7’s and S’s in odd numbered columns r replaced with 5’s then which column elements sum equals to 9?
3.After giving similar type of conditions , what is the element left to H?  In this section they gave around 4 matrices of this type and gave some questions for each matrix.
Total  No. of  Questions r 15. these r multiple choice questions.5 answers were given for each question.
No negative marks for this section. Time Limit is 13 minutes.

SECTION-2

All questions in this section r from number series. Total number of questions  r 20.time limit is 4 minutes.these r also multiple choice questions( 5 options).Negative marking(1/4) is there for this section.
2. NUMBER SERIES (20 qs  -4 mins-20 marks- negative 1/4) simple  but v shud b very quick….time is very very very imp 4this section frnds dont get confused really very simple section and 1more thing is the invigilaor signals time 4 every 30 secs dont feel tensewth tht just go wth ur work..
EX:     17,18,19,34,35,19,20,___
Ans….21
EX: 22,21,34,33,45,____
Ans……44
EX: 40,41,41,42,42,42,44,44,____
Ans…..44
here usually two number series will be mixed it very easy but should identify it

SECTION-3

Negative marking(1/4) is there for this section. Analytical type Questions . this secton is little bit tough.u must have practice to do this section. questions 12.time 15 minutes. Negative marking(1/4) is there for this section.
1)  If a company produces 15 different model of tv sets, 2 inchs screen and 4 different model of 4 inch screen size then how many model should vendor has for all the model.
2)  If a team consists 20 members in which 20% are mathematician then how many member should they hire sothat the ratio would become 10/11.
3)  The rate of color toner increases $33 to $35 and rate of black&white toner increases $28 to $29 if company spend $1540 in which 3/5 is color toner how much is total expenditure.
4)   A computer shop consists 3 brand’s alptop .Laptop of brand A is sold 3/16, B is sold 1/16 and c is sold ? then what fraction is sold by the shop in all.
Ans 1/16
5)   Printer  A prints 8192 character per min and printer B prints 13862 character per min four character are equal to one word.  Printer A starts at 7:15 am while Printer B starts at 7:29 am then at what time both will have same no of words printed
6)   In a library there are 5 cluster and each is having 44 books(module). In first weak 75 books are used, in second 95, in third 95 and in fourth 160 books are used.then tell how muchfraction of books are used

Ans :  76.00
8)  rectangular room has width half of  its length. When 6 is decreased from both length and width then its area is differed by 108 so  find the width.
Ans :  l =8
W=4
9) rectangular room has width twice of  its length. When 6 is decreased from both length and width then its area is differed by 108 so  find the width.
L=4
W=8
–here questions will be almost simillar to above but data will be changed.
