I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at IBM (Manipal) in Sept 2015
Interview
I applied through campus. There were three rounds in total.
1st round: Aptitude Test
2nd round: Verbal
3rd round: PI
In PI basically the communication skill was checked. One should be clear about the resume before attending any PI.
They will expect the candidate to know any basic programming language.
The process went on for two consecutive days. One should always be prepared wit required documents to avoid last minute panic attack.

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.
