Out of 90, 70-80 people were selected. (now I'm an IBM'er)
If you qualify for the interview there are 95% chances to be an IBM'er. I sincerely advise the fresher's that, (keep IBM as spare). Getting into the company will take from 3 to 8 months (poor Management). If you don't have other opportunities wait for it (IBM won't skip you, but takes much time).
All the best to all of you Guys
