RS AGARWAL is the bible for getting thru these rounds. And to get thru Eng part habit of reading news paper would serve the purpose.

After you clear Written. Technical round would not be so tough. Genaral questions regarding C or C++ may be asked. Just be more attentitive while you hear the question. Answering wrong or just trying is not a prob, But if you hear the que wrong or dont hear it at all the first time, can make the Interviewer a little irritated.

After u are thru Technical. PI is just a formality.
UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ATTITUDE PROB YOU WOULD NOT BE REJECTED.
