Sudha murthy's letter to JRD tata (it'll let u know him if u are unaware of JRD)

It was probably the April of 1974. Bangalore was getting warm and
gulmohars were blooming at the IISc campus. I was the only girl in my
postgraduate department and was staying at the ladies' hostel. Other girls
were pursuing research in different departments of Science.

I was looking forward to going abroad to complete a doctorate in
computer science. I had been offered scholarships from Universities in the
US. I had not thought of taking up a job in India.

One day, while on the way to my hostel from our lecture-hall complex,
I saw an advertisement on the notice board. It was a standard job-requirement
notice from the famous automobile company Telco (now Tata Motors).
It stated that the company required young, bright engineers, hardworking and
with an excellent academic background, etc.

At the bottom was a small line: "Lady candidates need not apply."
I read it and was very upset. For the first time in my life I was up
against gender discrimination.

Though I was not keen on taking up the job, I saw it as a challenge. I had
done extremely well in academics, better than most of my male peers. Little
did I know then that in real life academic excellence is not enough to be
successful.

After reading the notice I went fuming to my room. I decided to inform the
topmost person in Telco's management about the injustice the company was
perpetrating. I got a postcard and started to write, but there was a
problem: I did not know who headed Telco.

I thought it must be one of the Tatas. I knew JRD Tata was the head of the
Tata Group; I had seen his pictures in newspapers (actually, Sumant
Moolgaokar was the company's chairman then). I took the card, addressed it
to JRD and started writing. To this day I remember clearly what I wrote.

"The great Tatas have always been pioneers. They are the people who started
the basic infrastructure industries in India, such as iron and steel,
chemicals, textiles and locomotives. They have cared for higher education
in India since 1900 and they were responsible for the establishment of the
Indian Institute of Science. Fortunately, I study there. But I am surprised
how a company such as Telco is discriminating on the basis of gender."

VES ALUMNI ASSOCIATION INAUGURATION & reunion of batch 2005

The most wonderful days of my life were my school days...i wish i could get them back..those were the days, can’t describe, though we came across college there is no substitute for school days, memories, friends who are the most easy to connect back, wonder why the case though.guess it’s the age where we are still innocent and make friends without any expectations from others, Sometimes you need to leave the sweetest things of your life way behind and move on.

But we always had an humble to connect back to school, teachers, school friends and pay a small tribute to our school by any way, when we saw alumni associations in our colleges we felt why don't we do the same in our school and stay connected through it and though this we can support and go hand in hand with juniors, we shared the same with our friends, the response intensified our wish to do it.

we met our current principal Ravishankar who supported and guided us from the day we met in every walks of the process, even our pt sir Shivlinge gowda sir guided us whole heartedly, we decided to make reunion of our batch and let all our friends know about what we have thought and inaugurate it on the same day

we decided to do it on July 3rd(Sunday)2011 and invited our batch-mates(2005 pass-out) as many as we can bring in contact, even the ones who left school in the middle and invited them for the sake, many agreed to come though few had some inevitable reasons to skip, we invited almost all the teachers who taught us from LKG, even the committee members.

On July 3rd :

we planned to start off by the assembly as we were doing in school days at 9:45,we even collected tie from gowda sir for the sake, we had informed all our friends to come by 8:30-9 and for teachers by 9:15,only few of our friends with us for preparation sake, it was 9 only a few friends came and teachers started to come has added to our worries, by 9:45 even the committee members came already still many friends were about come, we pushed the time till 10 with refreshment to them, we made the assembly by ten, as in school days we started with school prayer followed national anthem, we made a move line by line to the BeD hall, where we did function as were advancing to our class in school, gowda sir took attendance of students, we even took attendance of teachers. Shamanna sir,Krishnappa sir,maharudra sir,shamim miss inaugurated the Alumni association including students followed by the explanation of intentions of it,then committee members made a speech, we projected the old memories video that we had done which included the inauguration of our school,first pass-out batch pic,any many memories we had in school with pics of teachers in it, every one nodded and applauded it as it took them back to those days, later we shared the opinion of students and teachers,followed by the lunch then some games for teachers,they felt very happy,many came from distant places for the sake of attending it, many announced funds to the alumni association, even the projector guy impressed with cause made a 100rs donation for it,even we gave gifts to aaya's which made them to feel as a part of function,we took a group pic,it was a grand success at-last :)

cracking HCL :)

Well I thought to share my opinion and experience with you hoping it may help

The placement process in HCL technologies will be as follows.

INITIALLY THERE ARE 2 ROUNDS FOR RECRUITMENT PROCESS:

First is a technical test.

There are 4 sections:

1) Quantitative Aptitude (25 questions - 35 min)

Time, Work, Distance, Probability, HCF & LCM,Permutations and Combination,Profit & Loss,Problems on Ages,Simplification.

2) Verbal (25 questions - 25 min)

Sentence Correction, Passage reading, Coding and Decoding, Blood relations, Direction based problems, Synonyms , Antonyms, Sentence matching for the conditions based on the Passage.

3) C programming (25 questions - 35 min)

            There were few questions on basics, data structure (more on binary trees) even few questions from graph theory regarding bipartite graph and time complexity questions from ADA too!!

4) Logical Reasoning (24 questions - 35 min )

            It's the easiest part among four but you need to be patient to read all 

It'll will be online test, there is NO Negative Mark, and you must manage your time in ONLINE exam. One question is displayed in screen, You must answer it, If not next question will not displays, There will be sectional cut-offs so you got be more careful though it'll be easy..

Second is HR round:

           The interviewer asked nothing more than couple of questions on versions, use of DBMS and on the academic project rather than that it was more general, questions more likely on what i confessed in Tell me about yourself and on my hobbies felt he was just keen on our communication skills and confidence than the content we delivered, He then asked whether I had a problem in relocation, do i work if put in various areas, Then he also mentioned about an 18 month bond we have to sign for joining the company and asked to sign on some letter then, he asked me to ask something about HCL or any queries I’ve, I asked regarding the scope for higher studies after joining the firm, he explained they got tie up with various institutions and after couple of years we have free to opt those., i asked him to give the feedback, he replied he'll let me know it in the result.

Among 260 students sat for online test at JNNCE,shimoga, 86 cleared aptitude and among those 77 got placed in HCL,the one thing i appreciate is the ordered way HCL conducted the interview, it was so neat and planned, hats off for the approach.., so the key is cracking the apti if you're done with it you're almost in :)

NOTE :

most of the question's will follow the pattern of amcat papers,go through those once

And i've shared some of the HCL recent papers and materials i have as fallows
