1 Important Computer Abbreviations for IBPS Clerk & PO Computer Basics for IBPS bank exams This is the scoring part of the IBPS bank exams like Clerk, PO, SO, RBI, SBI, and others. Computer Abbreviation is the important subject for the IBPS bank exam. This section in bank exam is new and important due to increasing number of uses of computers and the internet in all banks. Candidates who are preparing for the bank exams they have basic knowledge of computer, their applications and how to use them. This article is for giving the information of basic knowledge and related question from computers. From this section, there will be questions in each exam. Syllabus of computer for IBPS exam There are some topics regarding computer are as follows:- Computer Definition Basic Organization of Computer system Different parts of Computer Generations of Modern Computer Different types of Computer Define Hardware and Software Networking concepts Computer Shortcuts / Computer Abbreviation These given notes will help you to answer the questions related IBPS clerk,po and others.candidate must have downloaded in PDF format.read its carefully and discuss topics one by one: What is Computer The computer is an electronic device/machine that receives information in a particular format as input and applies a set of instructions to give a result in the form of useful information as output.it helps in solving problems according to the instructions given bu the user called programs or 1 / 6

2 software. It is a digital machine(that uses binary digits) used in all fields.father of the computer is Charles Babbage. A computer can manage information, or data and has ability to store, retrieve and process data.in real life, the computer is used for send mail, play games, write a document and for browse the web. Basic Organization of Computer system This is the basic structure of the computer system.in the diagram, there are three basic parts are as follows:- Fig:Basic Organization of Computer system Different parts of Computer There are three parts of the computers are as follows:- 1. Input Devices 2 / 6

3 An input device is a peripheral ( computer hardware ) device used to provide data and control signals to a computer.examples of inputs devices are keyboard,mouse,scanners,joystick and others etc. 2. Central Processing Unit Central Processing Unit,basically known as CPU.The control unit(cu),arithmetic Logical Unit (ALU) and memory are collectively called CPU.There are three components of CPU are 3. Control Unit It helps to control and manages the hardware parts.it reads the instructions given by the user to the computer. 4. Arithmetic Logical Unit ALU works on arithmetic and logic.arithmetic have math's function like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.logic involves the conditional like true or false. 5. Memory It stores all the data and information in the system's memory for the future use. 6. Output Devices An output device is a hardware item used to communicate the results to the computer screen which converts the electronically generated information into an understandable form. Generations of Modern Computer Generations S.No Generation Years Description 1 First Generation Vaccum Tubes 2 Second Generation Transistor. 3 Third Generation Integrated Circuit (IC 4 Fourth Generation Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) 3 / 6

4 microprocessor. 5 Fifth Generation 1990-till now. Ultra-Large Scale Integrated( ULSI) microprocessor Different types of Computer Types of the computer are categorized on the uses and sizes. Based on Uses Analog computer Digital computer Hybrid computer Based on Sizes Micro computer Personal computer Mini Computer Mainframe computer Super computer Define Hardware and Software Hardware It is the physical parts or components of a computer, such as a monitor, keyboard, computer data storage and others etc. all of which are see and touch. Software It is set of programs or instructions to perform the particular task like MS Office and paint etc. Networking concepts Networks like LAN(Local Area Network),WAN(Wide Area Network) and MAN(Metropolitan Area Network) and there are some topologies are used like point-topoint,bus,star,ring and mesh.
