I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at IBM (Pune) in Aug 2008
Interview
I was hired from campus. It involved two rounds of written tests followed by two rounds of interview. The written tests were on analytical & programming skills. The first interview round was technical and I was asked questions from the subjects we had studied in college.

Question 1
Where do you see yourself in 5 years.(For a fresh graduate)
I did the interview at the IBM company. It was a very simple one-to-one interview. The interviewer asked about basics questions on my projects and programmes. She also helped me understand on where I went wrong and areas to improve.
A recruiter reached out to me about scheduling some time to speak. They just scheduled a time without even confirming my availability first. Thought it would be an initial phone screen, but was a technical interview with someone different than I was emailing. The lack of communication and information was disappointing
I first received an online language test. Then got invited for an offline coding round. It was a fairly average-level question with 7-8 test cases on the HackerRank platform. People who passed even 3-4 test cases got selected for the next round.
