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
