Question 1
Round 1:
It was basically a gaming round. There were a total of five games in this round. Games like the screen had two sides you have to select the side having a higher sum or multiplication. Image recognition. You have to keep in mind that you should be as quick as possible. Out of around 160 students, only 3 were eliminated.

Question 1
I just had basic coding test, bascially IBm want to check my logic and programming skills.
There was a cognitive test. After successful completion, this was followed a few days later by a personality test. The cognitive test focuses on your ability to quickly do certain math tasks when playing games. Extremely boring. The personality test is one of those ones where you select which statement you most strongly agree with, but has trick questions, where both statements might be things that you disagree with.
Putting aside the validity of cognitive/IQ tests, I think these tests are too time-consuming for this stage in the interview process, given that there hasn't even been a phone screen with someone who can tell you more about the role yet.
