Hello Friends,
The selection procedure of HCL is in two stages
1. Written test( Aptitude + Technical)
2. Interview( HR + Tech)
In my college (DIT, Dehradun) the online written test was conducted on 12th Janunary, 2011 by aspiring minds.
The written test had 4 modules:
1. English 25 questions in 25 minutes
2. Quantitative ability 25 questions in 35 minutes
3. Technical ability 25 questions in 35 minutes
4. Logical ability 25 questions in 30 minutes
English contained grammar (sentence correction, word substitution by another word, 2 R C passages and 4 questions based on each.)
Quantitative contained percentages, allegations, logarithms, speed- distances, profit loss and other basic quantitative topics. It was a standard paper of quantitative and do practice well these topics to have a minimum cut-off in this section. I had a good command on quantitative so I could easily sail through it. All you need is understanding and practice of these mentioned topics.
Technical contained basics of C language and basics of data structures. You need to just revise the main topics of DS and C and have just a introductory understanding of every topic. Despite of being a ECE chap I could solve 18 questions confidently out of 15. The best thing about technical is that you can quickly solve them if you know the answers like one question: Why we use indentation in programming? the obvious answer is to improve the readability of the program. These kind of simple questions are also there so never loose hope by seeing big programmes in the starting. If you have a basic exposure of programming and computer you can crack its cut-off.
Last is the logical. It had logical questions: Topics were coding decoding, puzzle, directions, inferences etc.
Interview
After declaring the result of written the interview was on 15th Janunary, 2011. The criterion of HCL was 60% through out and one should have no back history.
Approximately 160 students cleared the written. On 15th Janunary in the morning firstly presentation was conducted and the person of HCL were very genuine persons and they explained each and every thing about HCL.
HCL is a company which works on it's well established visions and morals and the HR like those people who believe in high morals like transparency and employee first cutomer second.they are very proud people working in such a reputed company so please take care of this during presentation and interview. Do ask questions during presentation about the vision of HCL that will show your interest in the company like HCL which is really worth taking interest.
There were 7 panels for the interviews. and all were asking and judging the candidates in their own manner, some were asking only technical questions of c,while some were HR based.
But do understand that the interview of HCL is primarily HR based as your technical competency is already judged. If they ask you a tough program then simply show them your never dying attidtude towards the problem and keep on trying with basic logics. They will respect your attempt and you will get benifited for this. Don't start saying that you are not from CS branch and you don't know programming.
My interview was totally HR based. He judged my fluency, body language and presence of mind by judging my observation skills. He asked me to name all the things in the room without looking. I could name almost all of them. He got impressed and he said " you are a good human being. Don't change your character". Those kind words I can not forget.
This was my 5th company. I was selected. The package was 3.25 lacks pa. and bond period of 18 months.
So, All the very best. Do well.
See you in HCL.
