I applied through college or university. I interviewed at IBM (Bengaluru) in Dec 2016
Interview
Off campus drive where 3000 people from different colleges gave the written test and 300 were selected for the 1:1 interview, almost 250 people were selected. Over all interview was compromised of 3 test .written test, English skill test and interview.
I felt the interview was somewhat difficult rather than the written test or the English language test.
I did the interview at the IBM company. It was a very simple one-to-one interview. The interviewer asked about basics questions on my projects and programmes. She also helped me understand on where I went wrong and areas to improve.
A recruiter reached out to me about scheduling some time to speak. They just scheduled a time without even confirming my availability first. Thought it would be an initial phone screen, but was a technical interview with someone different than I was emailing. The lack of communication and information was disappointing
I first received an online language test. Then got invited for an offline coding round. It was a fairly average-level question with 7-8 test cases on the HackerRank platform. People who passed even 3-4 test cases got selected for the next round.
