Junior Python Developer

IBM typically conducts a three‑stage interview process: an online coding assessment followed by a technical interview focusing on Python, data structures, and problem‑solving, and finally an HR round assessing cultural fit and communication. The difficulty is moderate to high, with emphasis on clean code and logical reasoning; practicing coding platforms and reviewing IBM‑specific interview experiences can boost confidence.

IBM fosters a collaborative and inclusive work environment where continuous learning is encouraged through internal training platforms and mentorship. Employees enjoy a balanced work‑life schedule, flexible working options, and clear pathways for career progression within a globally respected organization.

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics & Communication or related engineering streams; minimum 60% aggregate (or CGPA 6.0/10); graduating batch 2025 or 2026; no active backlogs at the time of joining; strong foundation in programming concepts and data structures.

Round 1: Online assessment (coding & aptitude) → Round 2: Technical interview (Python, problem solving, system design) → Round 3: HR interview (fitment, communication, expectations)
