I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IBM (Pune) in Dec 2023
Interview
I got placed through campus placement in a program called "IBM Code Knack - CIC Campus Recruitment Process: Batch 2024," which only considered female candidates.
The company visited my college twice. During their first visit, I could not clear the coding round and was eliminated immediately. However, when they visited for the second time, I cleared all the rounds and was finally selected.
The process was as follows:
1. Coding Round (Online): 1 question, easy level, 45 minutes, conducted on HackerRank.
2. English Assessment (Online):Happened on the same day, easy.
3. Technical Assessment: They did not mention any MCQ test and gave 14 days to complete it (it might have been optional).
4. Group Discussion (Physical): It took only 2 days to get shortlisted. The group discussion was conducted at another college with candidates from different colleges.
5. Interviews: Candidates who cleared the group discussion underwent the interview process the next day.

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.
