I applied through college or university. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at IBM (Bengaluru) in Sep 2025
Interview
They asked alot of questions like why ibm? what are you expecting ? and alot of technical questions which were from easy to medium level. A few dsa, cloud and coding questions were asked .
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.
