IBM Interview Experience for ASE

The interview started with my introduction, where I talked about myself and gave an overview of my resume like my skills and the projects that I have worked on.

Then the interviewer started asking me questions about the coding language that I wrote in my resume. He asked me about the basics of the language and some other questions regarding OOPS concepts and also asked me to write the code with examples. So I suggest that the language that is written in the resume should be well-known by the candidate. Then he started asking me questions regarding MySQL which was also written in my resume. He made me write some queries and asked some questions from it. Then he asked me about the projects, like technology I have worked with to make these projects and the improvements that I think can be made to improve it. Other than that he asked me about my certifications a bit. Some basic questions from DBMS and CN were also asked. The interview almost lasted for about 35 minutes. I strongly recommend that when going for an interview the candidate must know all the things that are written in the resume and should have deep knowledge of the technologies/skills written in it.

Before the interview, I cleared 3 rounds.

In 1st round, only one coding question was asked of level 2 it was based on the Trie data structure.

After clearing that round there was 2nd round of an English/verbal skill test. It was a kind of rapid-fire test of approx 10 minutes with 3 modules. There was no limit of questions, the candidate had to answer as many questions as he could in the given time with a negative marking scheme. Modules were based on grammar and the most related meaning to the words given.

After clearing this round, The last stage in the 3rd round before the interview is the Group Discussion round. Where groups are made of selected candidates and a topic is given to discuss on. The topic given to us was the Role of AI in today’s world.

After clearing this round you are good to go for the interview.
