Hai friends I am SATISH BODDU
I have been selected for IBM IN CAMPUS PLACEMENT conducted at BITS, Warangal
,A.P ON 2nd JUNE 2007. A total of 1406 students appeared 4 written test and
around 220 were selected in written.
We were asked to write the ESSAY along with written test .Written test was
started around 10.30 AM and ended around 12 noon which comprised of ESSAY
also. Results were anounced around 3.00 PM.
GDs for 220 students started around 3.30 PM and ended at 5 PM I think so.
Results were anounced at 6 PM and 164 were selected in GD.
They held INTERVIEWS on next day .There were no results after tech interview
many of the students were directly forwarded to HR and some of them were
rejected and they told them this directly. All the interviews were completed
at 4PM . They announced the final results and 79 students were selected
atlast.

Then she asked me about my projects ,i explained each n every thing
Here only I scored much more marks
Then she asked me abt team management, how can i manage my team members in

HR
Here is final round for me ,i entered the room ,where hr was sitting ,he
asked me to take the seat .
I slowly sat on the chair(Normal plastic chair ).It was comfortable to sit
in it .as there was AC in the room.
Then he shook hands with me and askad my name and introduced himself by
telling his name his position in IBM,
I was confused for a while that ,interview is 4 me or 4 him.Like that he was

asked me to listen his words,he has given explanation to abt 30min. and then
