Wipro campus placement on 10th and 11th of October, 2013.
Hiii everyone.
Wipro had come to our campus on the 10th and 11th of October, 2013.
It consisted of the following sections, divided between 2 days:
1st day:
Wipro -PPT Preplacement talk
Online Test
2nd day:
Technical/HR Interview
The best part of Wipro is that they allowed students with aggregate above 80% to take part directly in the Interview!! Unfortunately I missed it for 1%!
Though I don't regret it because I cleared the aptitude test, which doubled the joy :')
So let's start with the recruitment process...
1st day:Wipro -PPT Preplacement talk
Wipro preplacement talk was the best! It made us determined and competent. They asked few questions in between and made it really an interesting one. Basically, they explained in detail what all sectors Wipro works in.
Following that was the written test. IT and non IT branch students had a different set. Since I was a non IT student, my written test consisted only aptitude and verbal reasoning with passages and a few synonyms and antonyms.
The online test consisted of 2 sections: Aptitude and Verbal reasoning.
I dont remember exactly how many questions were there (around 40-45).
We got a min and a few more sections to answer the aptitude questions whereas verbal reasoning questions were given less than a min per question. Important thing is that yu cannot go to the next question before answering the current one. So u have to be really fast and try to answer as quickly as possible. There was no negative marking.
For aptitude part, Quantitative aptitude by R.S.Aggarwal is perfect. Verbal reasoning questions depend on your communication skills and your pace. Not to mention the long passages for comprehension.
Within an hour after the test they announced the result. A little less than 50% of the students cleared the aptitude round, I was one of them :)
Since it was late in the evening by then, they asked us to come the next day at 7:30am.
2nd day:
I reached my campus by 7:30am. All the selected candidates were given a form to fill wherein they ask you about your strengths, weaknesses, why wipro etc etc. U need to fill this form carefully as this form goes to the panel during your interview.
After that, all of us were given an essay to write. Time limit was 10 mins. The topic given was 'How can you improve the world'
I dont think that was an elimination round. During the interview, the HR just refers through it. My tip is to use good vocabulary, and present it neatly.
After this was my Technical cum HR round.
When I entered the room, the panel smiled at me, which increased my confidence level.
She asked me to tell about myself. I had prepared very well for this question. She was impressed. Here they just check your confidence level.
Then asked about my strengths and weaknesses as I had mentioned in the form. If you have done any project, next question would be about that. Since I hadn't done any projects she continued with a few technical questions. She asked me whats my strength in academics and I said it is Logic design. She asked me to solve a Boolean expression which was pretty simple! ... Followed by a C program on factorial using recursive function. Then she asked me few more common interview qs like.. difference between C and C++, strut and union and so on.
Answer cool-ly, confidentially :)
Then she gave me a scenario and asked me my though about it. The Interview lasted about 15-20 minutes and then she said she's done with my interview, I asked her feedback and she said I was too good! :) and I was selected!
Some students had a separate HR round as well. And some others were asked question such as s poissons distrbution, flemings thumb rule etc So be prepared to answer technical qs and be confident.
All the Best! :)
