ICICI BANK PO Experience ! !

ANY BANK PO , this will be useful :

This posts are useful for any kind of BANK PO exams , so follow this rules :

Recently I applied for ICICI bank Probationary Officer's (2010) & I am shortlisted to appear for written test , I successfully cleared my written test and group discussion and also attended personal Interview .. So I would like to share my experiences regarding the above 3 selection procedures :

Before entering into the particulars of the exam I would like to unveil my personal details : I am a under graduate pursuing my final semester B-tech/BE in a esteemed college and having an aggregate of not less than 70 and applied for ICICI on 16th December 2009 and I received a message for written test around 25th january and asked to apply for a slot online in the renowned cities and I applied and attempted my written test successfully :

1. Total 5 sections , after completion of 1 section only, u will move to next one :
2. Each section has different number of questions and their corresponding time :
3. Total 44minutes online exam :
4. Different paper for everyone :
5. Each section has individual cut-off , so every section is important .
6. You have to perform every section equally else you will be . . .. . !
   

SECTION 1:

PASSAGES :

5 passages each passage contains 2 questions total 10 - Direct Questions , passages are 6-7 lines only , I am not sure about the time for this section but I hope it's 8minutes.
The bits from passages mostly are true / false . Just read the passage once and if you are talented enough you can answer questions in one-go :
I did very well and I am sure that atleast 9 out of 10 are correct : So you can also do it very easily , preparation is mostly not required .

SECTION 2 :

APTITUDE :

There are around 15 questions in this section and not so tough but the time is less so you have to be quick to solve this section , general knowledge is enough to solve this section but the only factor is time , the time is around 18mins and if you prepare RS AGGARWAL its more than enough , this section is also easy no worry .

I completed around 12qns in given time and remaining 3 just marked as a fluke.

SECTION 3 :

VERBAL SECTION :

This section contains English and little bit English sense is required to complete this section , it contains fill in the blanks type questions and you just need to identify the appropriate word and mark it as answer , all the 4 options given to each qn are very close to each other so be wary before opting the answer , it contains 10-15 questions and time is around 5-6 minutes .

Time is not a factor in this section , no need to worry :

SECTION 4 :

DIAGRAMS AND SHAPES , ODD FIGURE OUT :

As the name suggests this section contains 4 diagrams , 3 are given and based on those three you have to find out the next one , in the 4 options u will have the missing diagram , its very very easy among all the 4 sections , but time is very less , 10-12 questions for around 7minutes.

This doesn't require any preparation , time is a factor here , manage your time :

SECTION 5 :

VERBAL REASONING :

Here in this section a word will be given and you have to identify a word which is closer to it by its synonym mostly or antonym rarely and time is also less her , around 15 questions for 6minutes , but we can do it easily if u are little bit good in English .

This marks the end of written aptitude exam and after 10-15 days you will receive a mail if you cleared the written aptitude exam .

In my other post you can see my next level of selection procedure click on this to view the GD/PI procedure .

CHAOS FOR 8GB RAM ! ! !

ARE YOU PLANNING TO UPGRADE YOUR MEMORY TO 4-8GB Then ........

Do we really need >4GB of RAM ? ? ?

More RAM doesn't always mean better performance .. ..

With the price of upgrading system RAM extremely low these days, people are always asking me whether it's really worth it to upgrade beyond 4GB; today I' ll answer that question for everybody.

First, let me take a moment to clarify what exactly more RAM can (and can't) do for you. The biggest benefit of upgrading your PC's memory is better multi-tasking, especially for those of us using RAM-hogging applications like Photoshop, Outlook, or Firefox 5 minutes after we've opened it. Having a lot of memory means that you can quickly switch back and forth between the different applications without Windows writing the process memory out to the pagefile. (The pagefile performs much the same purpose as RAM, but the data is stored on your much slower hard drive.)

To put it another way, your RAM generally does not make your PC faster, it just allows it to do more things at once. If your single application uses 200 MB of RAM, it won't matter if you've got 2 or 8GB of total system memory, but if you've got 10 windows open using 200 MB each, then you are probably going to benefit from an upgrade.

What Applications Actually Use 4GB+ of RAM?

It's true, very few applications are going to use large chunks of your system memory, but there are some applications that will benefit greatly from an upgrade—image editing applications like Photoshop, video/audio editing applications, or virtual machines like VirtualBox or VMware will use as much RAM as you can spare. On my desktop with 8GB of RAM, I'm able to run all of the above at the same time, without showing any signs of slowdown when switching from one application to another.

More RAM Will Not Make Single Tasks Faster

Other than the specific applications that hog your RAM, if you think bumping your RAM from 3GB to 8GB is going to increase the speed of a regular application-like a video game—you should think again. The only thing that additional RAM does is allow your computer to do more things at once, not actually make it faster. So if you normally have a few dozen windows open before you launch your video game, you'll see some speed improvement by upgrading, or you could just close a few apps.

How Do You Know When to Upgrade?

If you are running with 2GB or less RAM in your system, you could probably benefit from an upgrade unless you barely use your PC or run a single application at a time—it should be easy to open up Task Manager and check whether your memory usage is reaching the limit. If you consider yourself a power user, you'll want to consider upgrading your PC to 3 or 4GB of RAM. So what if you already have 3GB+ installed? Should you drop the cash for 6 or even 8GB of RAM?

To really analyze whether your PC is using the memory properly or paging to the disk, the best tool is the Resource Monitor included in Windows 7 or Vista—it gives you a quick view at exactly what resources are being used, and what they are being used for. The key thing to pay attention to is the Hard Faults/sec graph, which tells you how many times an application attempted to read memory that Windows was forced to push into the pagefile because of a lack of memory.

What About 32-bit vs 64-bit?

So you've upgraded your PC with 8GB of system RAM, only to find out that Windows doesn't see all of it. The reason is simple: 32-bit versions of Windows Xp,7 or VISTA cannot use more than 4GB of RAM east not without an ugly and unsupported hack. If you want to actually use all of that RAM that you installed, you'll need to install a 64-bit version of Windows.

The Bottom Line

Let's break it down into a couple of bullet points for easier digestion:

• If you are a regular user, just light browsing, IM, or YouTube, you are probably just fine with 2GB of RAM—but check Resource Monitor if you aren't sure.
• If you consider yourself a power user but don't use Photoshop or virtual machines, you should probably have 3-4GB of RAM installed.
• If you are a power user with virtual machines or you do heavy audio/video/image editing, you should consider upgrading with as much RAM as you can afford—just keep in mind that you'll need a 64-bit version of Windows to take advantage of it all.

Want some actual proof? The well-known PC building site Tom's Hardware ran a bunch of tests on machines with different RAM configurations, and ZDNet ran through a number of tests with the same conclusion—unsurprisingly, most people just don't need 8GB of RAM at this point.

MOZILLA 3.6 ? ? ?

UPCOMING MOZILLA 3.6

One of the top browsers in the current trend MOZILLA is ready to rock once again with their new release which is scheduled to be late this year . My blog has gained some information regarding the new version i.e., MOZILLA 3.6 and this is being shared ..

Firefox 3.6 can detect Computer Orientation :

The upcoming version 3.6 of Firefox will be able to tell if you're listing to starboard--and pass that information along to applications running in the browser.

That's because the browser will be able to detect the orientation of laptops and mobile devices equipped with accelerometers that can tell which way is down. The reason for the work: Web applications running in the browser will be able to use the information, useful for labyrinth-type games with virtual marbles rolling around boards, and any number of other gaming situations.

Mozilla evangelist Christopher Blizzard announced Firefox's coming orientation interface Monday.

"One new feature that we're including as part of Firefox 3.6 is support for web pages to access machine orientation information if it's available," Blizzard wrote. "Many modern MacBooks and ThinkPads contain devices and drivers that expose this information. We've added support for Linux, Macs and some ThinkPads where drivers and devices are available."

Mozilla is working on the technology for mobile devices, too, where orientation-aware games are a big deal.

The move is one of many by browser makers eager to transform their software from passive receptacles for showing Web sites to an active foundation for interactive applications. Firefox 3.6 is scheduled for beta testing shortly and final release later this year.

MICROSOFT UPDATE ! ! !

Microsoft readies bumper update

Microsoft will issue its biggest ever security update on 13 October.

The update will include 13 bulletins that between them tackle 34 vulnerabilities.

Microsoft said that eight of the bulletins were rated as critical - the most serious sort of vulnerability.

The security patches will close loopholes in many different programs including different editions of Windows, Internet Explorer and some elements of Office.

One update, rated as critical, tackles a loophole in Internet Explorer 8 running under Windows 7. The next version of Microsoft's operating system is due to be released on 22 October.

Most people will get the updates automatically but links to download them can also be found on Microsoft's security pages. Once applied to a PC, the machine will need to be re-started before the fixes take effect.

In a blog posting giving an outline of the updates, Jerry Bryant, a Microsoft security expert, said two of the fixes were for problems flagged up in earlier advisories.

One of those loopholes, for the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) bundled in with Microsoft's Internet Information Server, is already being exploited by some hi-tech criminals.

Windows is by far the most popular target for cyber criminals and the vast majority of the millions of malicious programs, including worms and trojans, are aimed at the operating system.

Prior to the bumper October security update, Microsoft's biggest every update was released in June 2009. That package of 10 fixes tackled 31 vulnerabilities.

Microsoft typically issues its updates on the second Tuesday of every month. It started this regular monthly update system in late 2003

гєรt๏гє ק๏เภt ON EVERY BOOT

Your system may malfunction unexpectedly , then you may feel that restore point might have helped me ! ! !

But you did forgot or neglected the creation of restore point ? ? Then here is the solution for all windows xp users .......
This script automatically creates a restore point at every boot ! !
So enjoy the trick ...........

Create a restore point on every boot using the following script :

The script provided below will create System Restore points on every boot ! ! !

Copy the text in RED COLOR only

Option Explicit
Dim SRP, CSRP, objWMI, clsPoint
Dim RPDate, D1, D2, dtmInstallDate, DMatch
DMatch = 0
Set SRP = getobject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore")
Set dtmInstallDate = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime")
Set objWMI = getobject( _
"winmgmts:\\.\root\default").InstancesOf ("systemrestore")
For Each clsPoint In objWMI
RPDate = getmytime(clsPoint.creationtime)
D1 = Month(RPDate) & "/" & Day(RPDate) & "/" & Year(RPDate)
D2 = Month(Date) & "/" & Day(Date) & "/" & Year(Date)
If D1 = D2 Then DMatch = 1
Next

Function getmytime(wmitime)
dtmInstallDate.Value = wmitime
getmytime = dtmInstallDate.GetVarDate
end Function

If DMatch = 0 Then
CSRP = SRP.createrestorepoint ("Daily Restore Point", 0, 100)
End If

Paste this script into a notepad and save the file with RESTOREPOINT.vbs ....

Then, place the script to the Startup in All programs folder so that it runs during logon ...

Second way of creating a restore point ! !

Create a System Restore Point Each Day ..

Copy the following 3 lines to NotePad, then save it with .vbs extension (for example, CreateRP.vbs). You can run it manually to create a Restore Point by double clicking, or add it as a scheduled task.

This script creates a System Restore Point for Windows XP.
rp = "Manual Restore Point by " & WScript.ScriptName
GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\default:Systemrestore").CreateRestorePoint rp, 0, 100

Note: This script is not well suited for creating an unattended System Restore point, since it requires user intervention. The attached VB Script (modified from the original script) will do automate the process for a scheduled task. ...
