IBM came to our college to hire for intern cum placement.It was a 2-day process.
On the first day, we had an online test which was held on their platform which consists of 18 number series questions which were of moderate difficulty and 18 quantitative questions which were of average difficulty.
After that, the shortlist were announced and we had Technical and HR interviews the other day.
There were 2 technical interviews both had a panel of 2.In both the interviews they asked about the basic concepts of OOPS, Java, OS, DBMS.Some simple questions on these topics along with some simple code which we had to write and explain step by step.He asked about packages and API's in Java, some simple queries of DBMS.They also asked some logical questions, scenario-based questions, and puzzles.
The main focus was on your Projects, they ask everything about the projects that I have done.Both the interviews lasted around 1hr each.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Emphasis on your basics and especially on projects and don't be surprised to get questions to code modules of your projects.
First round was a case interview and final round was a behavioral interview with a more senior member of the team. Each interview was 45 minutes with one member from the team.
There was only 1 round of interview. Heard from recruiter 1 month after submitted application. Interview was 1 hour and did not seem structured at all; it went over a mix of technical and behavioral topics.
First stage of CV application, followed by an in-person assessment centre, then final interview with hiring manager in person in Southbank London office. Many assessment centres were running throughout 2017 when i applied.
