I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Bangalore Rural) in Sep 2023
Interview
IBM had 2 interviews for our college placement. First was a HR round. In this basic hr questions were asked like introduction , available to relocate, why IBM, why you are a good fit for IBM, then my hr asked me to speak on a given topic which was "chatgpt". I got selected in this then there was the final tech interview in this also the interviewer asked me to first introduce myself, then asked about my project, how many members were there, what was my role how did I implemented it. He asked questions on the basis of info provided in my resume only like I had mentioned dsa so he asked me what is dsa ,how many sorting algorithms are there in it, then he told me to write the algo for one of the sorting algo. Then he asked me about my family , about higher studies interest .This was my interview experience at IBM.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The one thing that they asked me was what technology are u familiar with that IBM uses
The process was okay but the result of the interview took so much time. NO reply to the mails as well. interview was offline and has 3 different rounds. one language round, then coding round and then interview.
First round was a language round that was conducted online. We were asked multiple simple questions in English to test our listening, speaking and reading skills. The next round was a coding assessment round. We were shown two questions of easy-medium level difficulty from the competitive coding website Hacker Rank. The 3rd round was a behavioral assessment round where we were given 5 questions and for each question we were allotted 5 mins to answer before the system automatically submits and goes to the next question. The questions were similar to "Explain about a situation where your leadership allowed for a problem to be solved" etc. The last round was the interview round where they asked both technical and non technical questions. The technical questions that were asked where from the projects we have made that were noted down on our resumes.
