1.Written
****************
There was
30 Apritude & reasoning questions
&
30 C questions.
Aptitude & Reasoning...
It consisted 1 verbal, 2 or 3 reasoning & remaining all were from quantitative aptitude.
It was little tough.
C.......
Its quit easy. A good Basic C knowledge s enough...
"TEST UR C SKILLS" of Yashavant Kanetkar will b very useful 4 this.

2. GD
********************
It was tough, since this was the most filtration round than others.
A survival level English is enough.... Dont shout at any instance... What u speak s not considered; How u speak s important here.
Each group consisted 12 candidates.
We were told 2 select our own topic.
We selected "Is it acceptable the new rules of anna univ. on uniforms & cell phone use".
The GD organiser told not to quarrel in beginning itself.
It went on nearly 15 min. & finally one summarised....
Only 2 were selected from my group including me, since v both maintained a calm approach while speaking.... while Most of others were not accepting other's points & shouted on even in the time of summarising....

3.Passage Writing
**************************
It was not an elimination round. But they just check ur written communication. A good english without grammatical mistake s enough.....
V have given a paper & given the topic "Why u like ur college & how it helped in improving ur personality" & 10 min time.
V all written more than 1 page...
While collecting the papers, the caritor people smiled & said... "We asked just a passage not an essay".
