Interviewed May 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took 3 days)
First round will be a phone interview .
Next you may need to visit an IBM office near to your city either for face to face or video conferencing.
Later HR round which will be directly taken by your reporting manager as there in no specific HR over there in IBM.
In a week or so you will get a form to complete and send it to them with all ur current employer/personal documents.Later they can send you a offer letter and if you wish to join can accept by replying back to the HR team.

While conversing ,never think about CTC in IBM .Speak clearly what you want to take home every month .As this what they have fooled me in.CTC they will show a huge amount and you gets less than 50% of it

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Pune (India) (took a day)
They take a written test and then 2 rounds of interviews
Interview process fairly simple and iviewers may ask random question as they are not trained .
Mine was campus recruitment so everything went smooth.
You dont get very much technical advancement inside the company and most people who are looking for technical growth leave the firm shortly .

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
There were three rounds. First round was aptitude round. Basic math and logical questions were asked. Second round was Technical interview round. They focused much on my Post Graduation projects.Third round was HR round. It was a very simple round. Mainly they see how much interest you are showing towards IBM.
