New Year Giveaway 2026

We just crossed 500 hours (30,000 minutes) of mock interview sessions completed ~3 months into our launch of ibmock.ai as undergraduates go through peak interview season for Investment Banking Summer Analyst 2027 roles.

To support the community, we're doing our final (and largest) giveaway for this recruiting cycle: 500 hours (30,000 minutes) of free interview minutes on ibmock.ai to the first 167 eligible students who complete the steps below (3 hours of extra credits per eligible user, in addition to the 1 hour of free credits all new users already get).

This giveaway is for new users only. Students who received free credits from our other giveaways (Halloween, Winter, or Christmas 2025) are not eligible and will not receive free credits.

We are only able to deposit credits into accounts that complete all 3 of the requirements below before the submission deadline and are eligible for the giveaway.

We will only deposit credits into accounts that complete all 3 of the requirements below before the submission deadline and are eligible for the giveaway. We will not deposit credits for accounts that only partially complete the requirements.
