IBM Interview Experience

Recently IBM came to our campus for hiring. Many students registered for the opportunity. In the pre-placement talk they told us that there will be two rounds in the entire process. The description of rounds according to my experience is as follows:

Test (Verbal and Mental Ability)

  • Verbal Ability: Assesses your understanding of the English language. The questions were based on grammar, preposition, paragraph-based questions etc.
  • Mental Ability: Includes logical reasoning, data interpretation, and quantitative aptitude.
  • For developer roles, there may be a coding test with logic-based questions.

Technical Interview

  • The interview started with the DSA questions, he asked me first questions with Stack data structure and then one more question with Array.
  • Apart that the questions asked from the profile you applied for (e.g, Cloud, IBM Cloud).
  • By the Interview Experience, I found that for cloud-related roles, knowledge of services like PaaS, SaaS, IaaS, and popular frameworks (AWS, Azure) is essential.

Tips

  1. Focus on building a strong foundation.
  2. Aptitude and logic are crucial for learning new technologies.
  3. For developer roles, concentrate on Data Structures, Operating Systems, DAA, and COA.

Remember, a solid understanding of fundamentals and logical thinking will enhance your chances of securing an internship in technical roles at IBM or similar companies.
