Hi sumit,

Since the profile you are going for is Project management trainee try to go through the concepts of the software development life cycle- it has many stages and also many methods. Also go through the various techniques used in the various stages of the life cycle. Also see some of the costing concepts,.. All the best..!

Hi

HCL Tech hires MBAs under its SMT program (Now called GEM). Software Life Cycle and other things are never asked in these interviews. The focus is on
a. Ability to understand a problem and devise a solution
b. Awareness about IT business, Industry, trends and future.
c. Ability to sell a service.
d. Ability to handle relationships.
e. Execution skills.

This is EXACTLY what is looked in the interview of an SMT in HCL

Hi,

Give a look to the basic concepts in the C and C++. And in the oops concepts. Also look into HCL's website to know more about the company, its projects. And finally speak confidently.. All the best !

Sorry Sharan, HCL Tech never ever asked for basic concepts of C and C++ in their MBA INTERVIEWS. In fact no IT coy gives weightage to these skills.

Hi Friends,

This is my experience of HCL off campus held in Andhra University Visakhapatnam. I am from Mechanical background and HCL has huge requirements in Mech field. There were only three rounds

1. Written exam
2. Technical Interview
3. HR Interview

Written Exam:

The pattern for the exam was Aptitude 35 questions (1mark each there was -ve marking of 0.5 marks) Technical test (40 questions no negative marking) to our surprise they gave separated technical question paper for mechanical ppl
The entire test lasted for 90 mins irrespective of what questions you attempt. They give u both question papers at same time

Aptitude paper:
It consisted of 4 sections.
First section had some data interpretation type questions(1-12 Q nos.) two sets of questions having 5 question s each which are of cat model (though not as hard as CAT).
Second section has Quant questions most of them similar to CAT like time and distance, time and work, numbers, etc.
Third and fourth sections had verbal question similar to CAT like para jumbles, sentence corrections, etc,
So ppl preparing 4 Cat can get thru apt paper very easily.

Tech paper:
It had all technical theory question from all mech topics like (SM, Thermal, TOM, Mechanics, etc)

Technical Interview:

This is where they ruled out maximum number of students. It was relly hard one to crack. This was full technical round based on entirely mechanical questions. They mainly concentrated on Engineering Drawing and Strength of materials and thermal topics. Be prepared strongly in drawing on topics like drawing front view, top view and side view, isometric view etc. Be confident in telling answers even though u don't know answers. He tests mainly on this thing.

This was done only for name sake. They took 100 percent people who cleared technical interview. No one was rejected in HR round.

Apart from that, you also can ref more resources at: : Interview questions to ask

Generally interviews are very easy in HCL Because they are finding it very difficult to get quality people.The quality of middle management is pathetic and some managers are like an UPPER DIVISION CLERK in govt service.

Basically it is a Geriatric Company

Also beware about HR.THEY WILL CHEAT CANDIDATS

In offerletter they say that notice period is 2 months,but when you put your paper they will say that you have to serve 1 more month ie 3 months

The HR is very unethical and fraud

So consider joining only if you have no other options!!! or if you are above 50 years of age.It is a good company for old men
