hey P.G do u have anything more on civil engg coz it is really a vast field.
i understand that some questions cud be on the specialisation in the final year but still if u cud dig up some more pointed questions on civil engg

All the above questions have come up from the CL file which they gave me last year for studying there. I don't have other resources at present. But I did see a resource a friend of mine had. It was provided by IMS a couple of years ago. Had year wise list of questions asked at the IIMs. So anyone with that booklet can help all of us.

5 What is analysis in civil engineering?
59) What are the specific parameters we look for in analysis of structure?
60) What is allowable, compressive, tensile stress in steel and concrete?
61) Seismic waves how are they modeled for design purpose?
62) What is Fourier series? How is it applied to harmonics/fundament

i wud be really grateful
btw , any civil enggs around here ???
i guess i have no company among all the softies here

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH PG.

I was wondering PG is it possible to include a feature which enables members to upload files along with their posts on the forum?

Oops.. I overlooked this message. The current version of the forum does not support member file uploading. The current version can be modded to support file uploads. But a newer version of the forum is coming up in March/April, which contains the functionality built into itself. So, if I add the functionality now, we might have trouble upgrading the forum to the newest version when it arrives.

So wait for a couple of months and we'll have a MUCH improved version of the forum.

Regards,

By the way Pagal, what is ur Specialisation? Other than being the 'Nerd Sans glasses'

That def. is my first specialization. The next being a commerce grad.

HI,
PG this is amazing buddy, I guess this thread might be a contender for the most useful thread of all time (till now that is).
Just one query though.
Would you by any chancehave the set of questions for ARTS students (economics major), If you have, can you post it or upload it please. Although the demand for those questions I guess might be in scarcity considering almost everyone is either Engg, BSc, or Comm

If x + y = 20 , xy = 240, what is x -y
i am still racking my brains over this

(x-y)^2= (x+y)^2 -4xy
But i think the value xy=240 wont be right

im sure everyone would love that one. Go PaGaLGuY

Do u have anything more specific on Mechanical Engg Fundas, cause its really a vast field man and a pain to go thru all over again.

Tsk Tsk. Next you want the handy guide to hypnotize the panel ?

hey allwin,
too good buddy..way to go!!quite some work done on all this stuff...thanx again nth time..just lost count there..:wink:


cheers:)
