I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at IBM (Bengaluru) in Sep 2021
Interview
It was an on campus drive.I had a coding test in the first round followed by which I had a game based cognitive assessment. Selected students were able to proceed to the English communication round. The final round was an interview round. Questions from both syllabus and managerial round were there. It depends upon on the HR who's taking the interview.
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.
