IBM Interview Experience For Associate System Engineer (Off-Campus)2024

This is the story of the weirdest interview experience that I had!

So everything went well in the Interviews.

So everybody else, I had my first round of Code Knack in IBM on 12th January 2024. I passed!

The second round was scheduled on the same day which was an English assessment. I passed that too!

Then I received an email for the GD round on 18th January 2024 which was offline and it consumed the whole day. A lot of time was wasted. But overall GD experience was okayish..majority of the people were selected in the GD round.

Then were the interviews on 19th January 2024 which were offline but we had to attend using a laptop. This was quite weird. I mean were we at the IBM interview location and interviews were taken online..haha.It would have been better if they could have asked us to stay at home and give the interview, but anyway. The interview was easy for some and hard for some. Most questions were from resumes.

In the next two days, I got the selection mail. Yay, all exciting right??

I had rejected my other offer at a company in Mumbai. I was happy to join IBM but little did I know that God had different plans!! After receiving the selection email..only 5 of the selected candidates got EOI and joining offer which was of date 18th February 2024…I thought I would get one soon.

On 12th February 2024,10 of us got interview mail…WE WERE GETTING INTERVIEWED AGAIN!

And This was elimination. I got worried. It was an average interview experience.. little tough. I regretted rejecting my other offers.

The first batch of people joined on 18th February 2024, and their joining shifted to 20th March 2024.

Many of us got interview emails. Got rejection mail on 1st March 2024. Even I was rejected…Very bad experience. Never thought this would happen.

In my batch.. i.e. second batch of students got joined on 20th April 2024. Then there was a third batch of students who didn’t even know their joining!

So basically whole process was like a scam.! Getting selection letters and interviews again batch-wise and then rejection…very bad experience!

I hope this helps you all, just one tip for everyone.

DONT EVER TAKE ANY DECISION OR CONSIDER THAT YOU ARE SELECTED UNTIL AND UNLESS YOU GET THE JOINING DATE CONFIMED!

Also, accept the first offer that you get as a fresher.

It’s a tough market..be on your toes!
