I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at IBM (Hyderābād) in Sep 2017
Interview
The written test was the worst. We had to start at 11am but it was started at 4 pm and there we people whose exam started at 7pm but before completion of all students results were announced. Next day in the interviews ibm document upload servers were intentionally blocked and students were rejected with the reason that their documents were not uploaded. An employee was smoking in the premises despite of saying him it was against rules of the college and another person from ibm was seen taking interviews with pan in his mouth some people suspect that they may been drunk but it was not spotted.
They had a quarrel with the training officer and used some un parliamentary language.
IBM was a very good company in my opinion but those idiots spoiled the reputation of the company with their stupid actions the drive was in GITAM university hyderabad campus on 14 15 and 16thseptember 2017

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.
