Extreme Simplification of the current IBCS syllabus (LAST MINUTE REVISION PLAN)


Topic 1: No study required, just common sense + business management

Topic 2:
Learn key definitions of different components in a computer system.
Perfect knowledge about logic diagrams & truth tables
Aquire surface level knowledge of different OS functions
Binary/Hexadecimal/Denary conversion

Topic 3 (Really no way to cram this topic)
Learn about the different networks and their range of applications (Would recommend IBCompsciHUB for this). Specifically: LAN, WLAN, VPN. These tend to come up a lot.
OSI model & examples of protocols that exist on each layer (easy)
Data transmission through the use of switching and routing.
Use of protocols
Network security
Compression

Topic 4:
Would recommend just doing pseudocode problems and relating this to real-world applications. Questions on topic 4 are merged with other topics.

Topic 5:
Learn the different data structures (2D array, stack, queue, linked list, tree)
traversal
RECURSION (THIS IS IMPORTANT)

Topic 6:
Abstraction (shows up in several parts of the syllabus), understand this concept in depth.
Memory management techniques
Resource management schemes.
Common Sense

Topic 7 (probably one of the easiest topics):
Different components of control systems (MCP, actuators, output transducers)
Digital signal and analog signals


Unit 1 | System Fundamentals

Unit 1.1

1.1.1 : The context for which a new system is planned.

A new system is created to replace a system that is no longer sufficient. As in it is not longer suitable for its original purpose it is inefficient it is redundant or it is out-dated. The new system should reduce the flaws or errors of the one it is going to replace.

Planning a computer system entails thinking about various details and organizing the activities required to achieve the desired goals. I.E, would a small book shop benefit from a computerized system. If so how would it be done.

1.1.2 : Change management

Change management involves shifting individuals from their current state to a desired state. Successful change management guarantees that all stakeholders accept and embrace changes in their working environments. The goal is to maximize benefits while minimizing negative impacts.

An example would be, a small business changing which operating system they use. The employees need to get proper training before they can continue working.

Reasons why change is hard:

1.1.3 Compatibility issues resulting from situations including legacy systems or business mergers
