Sales forecast by products was requested for 3 plan Yrs. Tom Rosenfield was the marketing manager for Europe He was previously in the engineering department & was assigned to Europe because of his technical& Foreign language capabilities. He replied to Mr.Greenburg as follows: “While I will complete the forms on the country brief& country plan promptly I have some conceptual problems with them time& time again we have been requested for projected figures I remember putting together a presentation for the Executive Vice-President (VP) & Treasurer last year. Great we educated those guys but what are the results of such formality? The projections have not yielded specific results, resources are used at a minimal level & we are not generating needed sales.

Measurements of a certain system have shown that the average process runs for a time T before blocking on I/O. A process switch requires a time S, which is effectively wasted (overhead). The CPU’s efficiency is the fraction of its time its spends executing user programs, i.e., executing user processes. For round robin scheduling with quantum Q, give a formula for the CPU efficiency for each of the following: (a) Q = ∞ (b) Q > S + T (c) S

hey guys i attended my interview on 29th April in a delhi zone.They were asking so simple question that i was surprised. I preapred day and night for the interview collecting all the question from this link and other site as well as from GS book but they simply asked 1) tell us about ur family 2) about u 3) Why u want to join banking and not IT . 4) Advantages and disadvantages of computer. 5) Where is hawamahal. 6) about pink city 7) who discovered electron. 8) who invented telephone. that's all I think it was just waste of time preparing banking related questions.

Respected Sir/Mam, I'm very sorry to draw your kind attention towards me,but I really want you to help me guide me.I read your article Job Interview in Hindustan times and I'm very impressed with the article and want u to help me clear my queries,i know you're very understandable and experienced and will do your best to help me. Actually i'm medical student and i did my 12th with medical stream and during 12th i fell very ill and i missed my all the terminals and my condition started getting worst everyday,i never missed even my single test ever but now first time i missed exam even my parents got serious and we started my treatment but was of no use and i wasted my whole year.i missed my tutions etc.my problem was i use to feel excessive sleepy even after having full sleep at night i used to start feeling sleepy in morning,as u know we have to study much in medical stream i was not able to concentrate on studies bcoz of my problem,i go to school i keep feeling sleepy then same on tutions and when i used to sat at home for studies same used to happen.then started my treatment from some hospital for hyper- somnia but of no use but in addition i got side affected by a medicine - Severe head ache.in my entire life my head never ached.but now i got that problem too.it was not normal head ache but the severe head ache .like u can say 100% no pain killer use to cure that pain,during my terminals my fellows use to give exam and i use to shout in pain at home.then we started our treatment from P.G.I .i know for them problem was not serious just sleep sleep sleep.i know who don't like sleep but it was bothering my studies somehow i sat in final examinations of 12th and i still remembered that i used to shout in pain and i even got fungus infection into my ear and whole day i used to sleep and think i will study at night or at night used to think in morning exam holidays used to went like this and i decided to miss this year but mom really helped me a lot she used to read my whole syllabus whole whole night and i just use to listen and somehow i cleared 12th with 80.6% by god's grace.then as i was so ill nothing was working on i decided to drop next year to prepare for pmt bcoz since 4th standard i wanted to become a doctor that's why i took medical bcoz when i was in 4th and my mom was got very ill and she remained ill for complete 4years and 4 years me and my family suffered a lot and then when she lost all hopes to recover she was admitted to P.G.I and got well.and i decided i just don't want others to suffer from what my mom did .so i decided to be a doctor.so i dropped as i didn't want to do anything else then M.B.B.S but there was no improvement in my sleep problem but i decided whatever may happen i will not stop studies my parents used to convince me that once i will be well i can start my studies again but i always believed that we should learn to work in storms one day when they will pass and we even will not be able to know. so i brought cd's for pmt preparation and i did my 100% as much as i could in preparing even in problems but whole year passed i did my best and was doing my best,even in 100%acheness i use to keep keep keep studying sometimes till 4 o clock in morning.and never told my doctor that i m studying when he told me not to study more than one hour but u can tell can anybody clear PMT studying one hour and is it very small syllabus? and i was so sure that its god only who is making me study and i will surely clear this year and side by side my treatment also keep going.whole year passed out my entrance was in june and may came.i was so tensed that nothing is working t my sleep problem but i was living with hope that i will clear entrance but this month i got more ill and my problem which started from 12th is not solved even not at this stage after 2years my mom also got ill she got very depressed and now i just stopped studying bcoz i had to look after home and mom and everything and i left everything on god and if he want me to clear entrance i will otherwise not.i gave entrance and in exam i was not even able to sit i was feeling so so so sleepy i was not able to read a single question to solve them was so far.my head started aching and i just marked answers without studying and on 10june i got my result and i didn't get seat and i got very hopeless that nothing is working on in my life,doctors are not solving my problem and even on dropping this year and studying i didn't get seat which was my purpose of life to be a doctor and smile and serve.but i m very positive type of girl ,i trust in god and made myself convince that whatever is going on is going on according to god and how can he do anything wrong.so i decided to shift my stream and join hotel management. but when i found that there is also entrance for that even. National council for hotel management. and by the time i became aware of it the entrance was already held in march April and i missed and it means now again this year i have to drop to wait for the entrance and prepare and i just can't join any college bcoz of not being well now also hmm. now my question to u is when i will go to give interview for admissions in college for management next year.what to say if interviewer will ask why you dropped two years? i just can't say bcoz i was ill u know i just don't wanna show my weakness to them otherwise i will miss everyone want active and smart people not ill right even if i will say somewhere or other they will feel that i won't be able to give my 100%.i know u can well understand why right? but then what to say to interviewer? bcoz hotel industry is such a stream where they just want active smart people who can handle and maintain everything so perfectly and maintain their reputation.they are also right at their place but i just don't wanna stop in my life i also have dreams to fly high.i just don't wanna loose my chance for 2year drop matter i know you will surely tell a fabulous answer which will even make them silent.Give me direct answer to following answers from which are from interviewer point of view: why you dropped two years why such a gap in studies? why u drop ist year? {i can't say i was ill i know u will tell me good one} why u drop then another year again? {if i will say bcoz entrance was already held for this year thats why i have to wait for another year,what if they will ask me then what u did whole year?i can't say that i spent whole year preparing for ur entrance bcoz they will say why u didn't do on the very ist year when u was in 12th? what if they will say u took whole year for just preparation of entrance our students can prepare in month or two months and clear? i can't say i m not that intelligent. reality is even i could prepare in months or two months if i was normal as i was in 11 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaa lots of questions aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa help me i know u will surely gonna help me eagerly waiting for urs mind blowing answers and very very thanks for spending ur precious time of fabulous life in solving out my stupid query. Your's sincerely, Srishty

I qualified the written exam conducted by BARC and attended the interview. First let me tell you that this is the most genuine and toughest interview among all the PSUs. This is the best interview methodology that they adopt. They just ask for very basic questions of Intermediate (12th) level and want to check the basic understanding. Almost all the questions are practical questions no direct relation with the knowledge of core technical. In this way they look for the way you approach to solve a problem. Because the post they offer you is scientific officers’ post. This is a research oriented job that requires the great skills and knowledge to solve a real practical problem. So, this was a basic idea about the interview. Now let's talk about the methodology, actually they ask you 4-5 subjects in which you are more comfortable and ask the basic questions. But keep in mind that you are really comfortable with those subjects and you should be thoroughly prepared. Because they will try to divert you from your answer and will drill on topic till you surrender. But anyway you don't worry even if you are not able to solve a problem for whole but the way you approach and the basic concepts should be correct. They are generally the minimum time for interview is more than 45 minutes. Even the person they know will not be qualified; they drill him at least for 45 minutes. As the interview timing cross more than 45-60 minutes, your chance goes on increasing to get selected. Finally If they are satisfied with your performance then they give you a medical slip that insures your eligibility fir the interview. Final Result depends on the no. of posts and the merit list prepared on the basis of marks you achieved in written and interview. I wish you all the best for your interview. It is well known that hard work and the luck both are that major factor that plays important roles in every exam. Your Luck also plays an important role that by which panel you are going to be interviewed. During my interview I was a victim of bad luck so I could not qualified the interview. I had heard that the panel members being very helpful they bring you out of the pressure if you feel during the interview but this was not true in my case. Anyways, I entered in the room, there were 5 members. The committee chairman asked me about my hometown. The whole conversation was in Hindi, so the people who are from Hindi background they don't need to be afraid of this problem in PSU interviews. Then he asked me "Is it your first interview or you have gone through any other interview?", Me: "Sir this is my first interview". This normal conversation is just to make you feel good and to make you comfortable. Chairman: So you have done your B.Tech from IIIT? Me: Yes Sir. Suddenly another person interrupted as he was looking at my cv, he told to the chairman that I got first Prize in solid modeling Contest. This was a curse for me for that interview. Chairman: So you got first prize in Modeling? Me: Yes sir. Chairman: What is Computer Aided Design? Me: I told. Chairman: You have been taught the Finite Element Methods course? Me: Yes sir. Chairman: Can you do the analysis of a cylindrical pressure vessel? Me: No sir, actually we just learnt the analysis of one dimensional objects. Chairman: But you know the basics of analysis steps? Me: Yes sir. Chairman: What will be the first step? Me: We will take the symmetry and will not require going through the analysis of whole section. Chairman: Draw the element of symmetry? Me: I drawn. Chairman: Next step? Me: Boundary conditions and Forces. Chairman: What will be the boundary conditions, forces etc.....? I could not give the answers, and the trials were wrong and I was totally confused. but he rammed me a lot and wasted almost 10 minutes. It was a bad impression that lead me through the darkness. Then he asked me to put the name of subjects I studied in B.Tech as our curriculum is different from other colleges curriculum, It has major emphasize on Design. So under pressure I was not able to recall the subjects. I started to recall them and listed on the paper but didn't minded to put them in the order I prepared. Actually I prepared Material science, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer and Micro Metal Forming (for the fabrication of MEMS devices, a recent topic). So they just started asking the questions randomly from the subjects they got in that list. After a sometime chairman asked me about the subjects I am comfortable. I told and given the preference to Micro-Metal Forming that was a new topic for him and he decided to get out of the topic and asked about the issues when we go through the micro forming. I told that as we go from macro size to micro, the strength, isotropic behavior and surface roughness changes and affect a lot. Then he asked how surface roughness comes into picture? Me: As material thickness approaches towards micro size, the no. of grain boundaries becomes fewer and grain boundaries sizes are in the order of microns so the very early surface has a lot of deviations that comes in picture. Then he asked: What is inside the space between two grain boundaries; Gas or Vacuum? Me: Sir Vacuum. He Said: You are wrong, go and refer the books. and in this way he came out of the topic that he was trying for. So, I will suggest you not to give any new topic as the persons taking interview may or may not be comfortable with that and it may be a curse to you. In Thermo….. he asked He: there is a cylinder-piston system that contains a gas, a weight W is kept on piston what will be the pressure? Me: Sir W/(g*A)---A: area, g: gravity (It was wrong actually I was in such a pressure that to calculate the pressure I was using the formula M/A) Then another person asked me about "g", why I am using it ? I confidently said: sir to get the mass from weight He knew that I am confused so he asked me to derive it's dimension I derived then he asked me to derive the dimension of force by area and he asked me to compare, and I found my mistake. I said sorry and then He: I am giving it "Q" all the boundaries are insulated so that no heat goes outside, calculate it's final volume? Me: I was confused and was asking about a lot of irrelevant information needed to solve. He: This is all I told you now calculate the volume...no other information. I could not derive it. Then......Fluid: He: I am having an wedge shaped vessel (triangular shaped) I want to know the water level at different places, what will be the levels of water at different tubes? Me: Same level in every tube. He: why? Me: because of fluids property...pressure at a level is same at every point So the height raised will compensate for it. He: ok so, pressure is constant at all the points in same level but different at different levels? Me: Yes sir. He: So if I make two holes at different levels and fit a tube at outside from the vessel then water will flow? Me: yes sir. He: If I place a turbine in between the pipe then will the electricity produced? Me: No. He: why? Me: because water will flow once only. He: but pressure difference is continuously acting at two different levels? Me: as once water flows and the section gets filled pressure at the same level in vessel and pipe will be same, So no way it will flow again. This was a section where I was somewhat comfortable and answered correctly. SOM: Shear stresses, how shear stress comes ....Is bending stress and shear stress same and a lot....they make me totally confused. Mohr's Circle related questions. That I replied correctly.
