Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice from people who have gone through the IBM India off-campus hiring process, especially those who attended the interview/exam around May 2026.

Here is my timeline:

• May 14: Attended the IBM off-campus interview/exam in Kolkata.
• After the interview, I received an email requesting additional details/documents for BGV (Background Verification).
• I submitted everything that was requested.
• I was told that I had cleared 8/10 test cases.
• July 15: An HR representative called me and asked me to submit my CLA and attested semester certificates.
• I submitted the requested documents.
• During the call, HR told me that once the verification process was completed, I should receive the LOI within approximately 1–2 weeks.
• However, it has now been several weeks and I have not received any LOI or further update.
• I have tried calling the HR representative again, but I have not been able to get an update.

I understand that IBM's hiring process can take time, but I'm confused because I already completed the BGV-related requirements and was specifically told that the LOI would follow after verification.

For anyone who went through a similar IBM off-campus process:

1. Does this delay usually happen?
2. Is it possible that the hiring process is still ongoing despite there being no communication?
3. Should I send another follow-up email to HR/recruitment?
4. Is there any particular IBM candidate portal/status page where I should check?
5. Has anyone from the May 14 Kolkata drive received an LOI recently?

I’m not assuming that I’m selected until I receive an official LOI. I just want to understand whether this kind of delay is normal and what the appropriate next step is.

Timeline:
May 14 → Interview/Test → BGV → July 15 → CLA + Attested Certificates → No update as of August 12......... HR has also not answered my calls for 3–4 weeks

Any information from candidates who experienced the same process would be helpful.
