IBM Applications Software Developer interview questions

The first round is an online written test. This is more like an aptitude test. The test is divided in four sections. The sections are verbal ability test, analytical ability test, attention to detail test and the last one, technical ability test. In this test the questions are related to time, distance, ratio proportion, puzzles, number system and series based. The student can get questions related to computer hardware and software in the technical section. The next round is the English Summary Writing Test. In this section the student is expected to write the summary of the passage given to the student. The format in which the summary is to be written will be given to the student. In this section, the student is judged on their sentence formation and grammar and vocabulary. The students who successfully clear the Essay writing test are then short listed for the group discussion round. The students are placed in a group of 10 to 12 students. A topic is given to the students. To clear the group discussion round he/she must be alert and must have good presence of mind. After the group discussion round, the student is judged on the technical knowledge. In the technical round, questions are mostly asked about computer software programing, operating systems, database management, etc. The interviewer may also ask the student about the project done by them in the final year. He/ she may expect a few questions on their project work. After the technical interview, it is then followed by the HR round. This is the last round of the selection process. It is observed that technical and the HR round is clubbed as one and sometimes done separately.
