HCL TECHNOLOGIES PAPER ON 12th FEBRUARY

Hello,

Im about 2 share my experience of HCL technologies recruitment drive held on 12th February,2007 at Lucknow . this was d first company coming 2 our collg so I was not so confident dat I’l make it!! My branch is Electronics n communication..(6th sem)

Venue: Northern India Engineering College (BBD GEI)

First was WRITTEN,it had 2 sections :

(1)Aptitude: aptitude had 35 questions ..Many repeated questions were there,

Data interpretation, puzzles, passages, jumbled sentences,etc…pattern was same.

I cant recall all ques,,but il try:

One was a question on nails………two passages….a question on race…

Q) how many odd numbers r there between 2000 & 4999.

Q) a figure involving concepts of geometry.(not dat tuf!)

Q) a question on multiplication of two nos. with unknown digits (O1 E1 O2 E2…)(seemed tuf 2 me so I didn’t attempt!)

Q) a similar question :A exists if C is present B exists if D & A are present ..n so on(quite a simple question I got d answer with truth table method it got easy)

Q) somewhat same question as above involving Figo, Ronaldo ..etc…& one drives scooter while the other rides bicycle….n so so(was easy!…MUST give time 2 such questions)

Q) a question on years(simple one!)

To cut it short apti was nt dat tuf….i jus left those questions of which I had absolutely NO IDEA…use ur rough sheet 2 the fullest.!

(2)Technical: this section had 20 questions & we were givn 15mins 2 solve…..topics àmicroprocessor,physical n logical address, little endian & big endian mode, complexity of algorithms,Revise complete Data structure(VRY VRY IMP!)..a simple question to fine 2’s complement …C programs (POINTERS—“Most IMP”)….

After written we expected 2 have GD….but it got cancelled…so few students had their Technical & Hr the same day…….

My turn was on 13th Feb ..(the next day)….whole night tension, anxiety, fear kept me awake!!!..my whole bed was piled with buks..all I cud get.. i had never faced interview n all before …n was really scared of failure…becoz once things get in our hand we don’t want 2 let it go…

TECHNICAL INTERVIEW:

We gathered at college in morning at 9:00 am…my patience was put 2 test that day…my turn came at 8:00Pm…i was physically n mentally exhausted…but had 2 give a try at least….

As the interview started Sir asked 4 my CV…n brief introduction… & then started firing all questions one by one!

Sir-do u know C, well?

Me-yes sir.

Sir-Confident

Me-yes sir! I said im not a proficient but am learning.

Sir- difference between c & c++?

Me-told him all bout OOPs

Sir-what is abstraction, polymorphism? Types of polymorphism? types of inheritance?

Me-told him all whatever I knew…while describing types of polymorphism(runtime & compile time) I mentioned “virtual functions”—(he interrupted)

Sir-do u know wat r virtual functions?

Me-I told him (as I had read it 5mins befor)…& also said I didn’t hve detail knowledge of it..

Sir-u knew those questions I am askin???(his strong voice echoed in my ears)

Me- I got scared first..but his smile infused a confidence in me n I too replied coolly…dat I jus read in some buk jus bfor comin(its better 2 tell wats true)..

Sir-okok so listen im explaining this 2 you.

(he explaind me a whole program involving virtual functions n the two ways they are calld)…he asked me 2 listen carefully n confirmed that he wud ask me questions regarding it next time I met him….

I got excited at this ..but had 2 control it as the interview was still at progress…

Sir-now u tell me about pointers?

Me-told him.

Sir-(he gave me a program & asked 2 find its output)

Me-I had gone through pointers so it wasnt dat tuf 4me…but still I took sometime 2 giv the answer..n got it rite!(he seemed pretty happy with dat)

Sir-do u kno bout inline functions?

Me-no sir..(I had no idea)

Sir-wat are stacks & queue?

Me-I told ..(ask 4 a pen n paper n explain it with program)(he looked satisfied!)

Sir-do you know wat r link lists?write program?

Me-I wrote d program….(as I was bout 2 finish he said okok fine)

Sir looked very serious, he had a good accent, he talked in a very friendly manner helping the candidate 2 feel tensionfree…as it did 2 me!

After this phase was over .NOW I was confident that ill make it!!…i was sent 2 HR…

HR was cool:
