Initially on the ans sheet of essay they have mentioned that they are going to conduct GD of short listed candidates but at last they haven’t , But remember guys they have just started the GD tradition in on campus interview processes. 2) Technical Interview cum Personal Interview I would like to express my interview experience as I think it maybe useful to them who have the same dream to be an IBM’er just I had.
