Hi friends,

This is Goutham doing final year B.Tech. I was placed in Wipro.

On Aug 7th Wipro visted our campus (Sreenidhi Institute of Science and Technology, Hyderabad). This was the first time Wipro came to our college.

The selection procedure was like this
PPT started at 10:15 am. Written test at 11:00

Pattern was same as previous

Verbal 15
Analytical 15
Technical 20
no negative marking

Previous questions were not repeated. If ur good at grammer in ur school level its enuf to clear Verbal.

Analytical was really analytical as there were only 3 or 4 questions from quant. They were pretty easy. Rest all depends on ur talent.

As I am from Electrical& Electronics I felt Technical very tuf. I knew only 4q's in tech that too from C. God was with me. So I got thru the written test.

Suggestion for non CSE and it students is dat dont worry u can answer atleast 6 q's confidently in tech as there were some q's where u can eliminate 3 options in the first look itself.

coming to the Tech Interview

We were given only 10 minutes after the results of the written test were announced.

I was the 3rd to my pannel and was the first to be selected by him.
he: give me ur resume
me: gave him the resume
he: tell me abt ur self
me: I was prepared for it.i gave the answer promptly. I couldnt maintain eye contact initialy but i could manage it.

he: wat do u kno in C
me: basics
he: C++?
me: no. and told him the reason y i didnt learn them outside.
   its always better to substantiate such things with a reason.

he: wat is a datatype
me: gave the answer
he: asked something on linked list.
me: I couldnt hear him. so i told him i donno
he: wats the difference bet ms office xp and 2003
me: (i wrote tat in my computer skills) i told him we use only the basic features of ms office. may be there r some internet related features in 2003 which r not there in xp.

the real difference is dat office xp runs in win 98, 2000, and win xp. but 2003 runs only on win xp and win 2000 with servicepack.

he: narrated a big passage. the gist was that whether a file created in office 2003 be opened in office xp.
me: yes sir it can be without a problem
he: r u sure 
me: yes sir. i tol him our college has xp and i have 2003 and we often transfer documents.

he: any questions?
me: asked him two questions related to technical only. dat was a plus point for me.
he: then told me to wait outside and told that he will let me kno
me: thank u sir.he forwarded his hand and i did the same and gave a firm shake hand.

within few min I was given a form for hr interview. It was very lengthy and almost took 20 min to fill. Within next 10 min after filling the form I was called for HR interview.

Interviewer was a lady.
she: tell me abt ur ur self
me: tol her same thin letter to letter as i tol in tech.

this time eye contact was not at all a problem

she: (i told her something on my introspection in my intro) she asked gimme an incident as an example.

me:i didnt expect her to ask it.but suddenly an incident flashed into my mind. it really happened in my first year.i told her dat.

she: tell me abt ur family
me : told her
she: y didnt u get placed in CTS and TCS?
me: (cts and tcs came to our college on 3rd of aug) I told her i didnt clear their written.

she: wat did u learn from dat
me: I was not expecting dat but my mind was alert as I was not at all tensed. I told her tat donot fall for temptation from CTS and do not prepare more than ur caliber from TCS.

she: why wipro?
me: I was perpared for this question. i tol her three points abt wipro in which i gave her a hint tat i prefer working in south india.

she: wat if i place u in gurgoan (wipro is there in gurgoan) 
me: no problem i will work there for a couple of years and take a transfer and come back to south.

she: wat do u think abt ur college:
me: told her all the good things which i knew abt our college (our college is really popular for its placements, thanks to ur placement officer). first i told her tat our college has good placements and good companies r coming and i also told tat Wipro is one such company

its always good to boost abt ur college though u dont like somethings in ur college describe those points in which ur college is different from other colleges.

then she told me "ok u can leave"

i told thank u and left.

interviews for me were over by 4:15 pm

I waited upto 8 :15 then results were announced and my name was there.

Infact the hr was so easy tat all my friends who cleared tech got thru hr. Some of them were asked only one question: why wipro or why shu i hir u? and they were all selected. EEE students gave their best on tat day.

My suggestion to those preparing for campus placements is dat, do not expect much before u get selected. Write the test as if ur writing ur internals. Be practical, be cool.

Never never never loose in hr interview. So donot expect any questions tat u prepared for. Only two things will be looked for: they r confidence and eye contact and truth in ur answers. So donot bluff.

Before u go for interview learn new things abt ur self which u dont kno and try to boost those in the interview and ur resumes. U kno ur self better than others. If u kno ur self better then u will kno wat to answer for wat.

Believe in yr self, believe in god, believe in ur parents then u will definitely get thru the interview.
