I've received an email from IBM saying that I have to pass an IPAT which is a test very similar to an IQ test. Basically you have around 1min 45 seconds to answer each question. (40 questions in total). After completing the test, i got a rejection email saying I didn't get the required score to pass.

- Math problems (If a printer prints 300 pages in an hour is down for 10 min knowing that it takes 3min 45 seconds to restart, how much pages did it print in 2h 30min?)
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at IBM (Madras) in Mar 2013
Interview
There was 4 rounds of interview with a Written test, English proficiency test, Group discussion, final interview. Questions about C and C++, brain teaser. What would you do if you got stuck in a place with no transportation
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at IBM in Mar 2015
Interview
I was referred by my Uncle, who works for IBM. I would assume this allowed me to skip a step or two, but I know it at least short-listed me. I received an email from one of the managers who schedule a phone interview. The phone interview consisted of two parts: the first was with a group of managers who talked about the me as a person, why I chose the school I did, some of my background, mostly just general personality questions. They then left the room and brought in a group of techs. The tech group asked more about my programming experience and some of the programs and projects I had listed on my resume. Overall the interview took about 1:30, and ended on good terms. I heard back quickly about moving on to the next part of the process, and I expect to have the official offer within a week.

Question 1
Didn't ask any specific testing questions, just wanted to know what kind of experience I had and what I'd worked with.
