Page 43: WIPRO PlacementPaper

There was a technical interview followed by the HR interview. Following were the questions asked:

Technical:

1.Tell me about yourself(A brief description of yourself followed by what your technical skills are)

2.I'll first ask some questions on Software Engineering, followed by those in C and then about your projects.(Though I didn't mention SE in my resume nor did I mention any project in SE, he was keen to ask questions in SE)

3. What are the different models of SDLC?4. Differentiate between Spiral and Incremental model?5. What is the disadvantage of Incremental model? Give an example to explain.6. What do you mean by the Design phase? What are the tools that can be used in this phase?7. Coming to C, what is hashing? Why do we use hashing and not arrays? How do we implement a Hash table? 8. What are function pointers? Give the syntax for the same.9. Why do we use pointers in C at all?10. You know about structures and union. Why is Union used? Give a real life example in which you'll use union?11. What is SSL?12. What is the difference between HTTP and HTTPS?13. Explain two of your projects (one should be FYP).

(This round took around 20 minutes)

HR :

The interview was such that no prior preparation could be done. The only preparation required was for questios like why did you skip some companies. If you say you skipped 6 companies for Wipro, you need to convince them why did you do so for a company like Wipro. They too don't expect that you'll give that kind of answer. you should just have a reason behind your selection of companies.

1. Tell me about yourself. She picked up some points in between and asked about them.2. (We were asked to fill a form containing our details, including strengths and weaknesses) She asked about the weaknesses. Tell how you are trying to overcome that weakness.3. What were the companies whose tests you took before Wipro?A. Oracle and Convergys.4. Why not TCS and Infosys?5. Why Wipro now? How can it help you in building your career?6. Are you hopeful in getting into Wipro?7. My questions end here, do you have any questions to ask?(I asked about the difference in the nature of training provided two months before joining Wipro and the three months training provided after joining Wipro.)

(This round took around 15 minutes)The questions in HR were easier as compared to the those asked last year as they involved knowledge about self only. What I judged was that they were looking at communication skills, clarity of goals, strengths and weaknesses.

These are the questions I remember. Though there were some more based on my answers.

********************************************************************

There were 2 round in the Interview:Technical and HRThe process is that they would take both Technical and HR

The sharp decline in the mortality since 1941 shows that who argue that the introduction of new chemicals has caused serve health problems are mistaken from 1940-1979, the average life expectancy for the entire United States population increased from 63.6 to 73.6 years, and the total age adjusted death rate declined by forty five percent, including decline in every age, sex and racial group. There were also the years in which there was a dramatic increase in the use of new chemicals in this country. Clearly, then those modern aids to industry have no adverse effects on the general health of society. Which of the following is an assumption underlying the conclusion of the passage above?

A) The increase in life expectancy in the United States was paralleled by corresponding increases in other countries. B) The growth in the average life expectancy in the United States cannot be attributed to any single factor, but is a general phenomenon. C) The increase in life expectancy would not have been greater if there had not been an increase in the use of chemicals. D) Growth in the use of chemicals was a crucial factor in the development of industry from 1940-1979

For the verbal section GRE barrons will do..It includes fill in the blanks..analogies ..on paragraph containing blanks..synonyms..idioms

Analytical

A is 6 times as fast as B and takes 100 days less to complete a work than B. find the total no of days taken by A and B to complete the work. 5.A cube is painted Black. It is divided into 125 equal cubes.find the no of cubes which have atleast 2 sides painted black. 6. If a covers 15 miles in 20 minutes and 20 miles in 30 min then find the average speed of A. 7-16 analytical type questions These r basically easy ones...we need not work out much..the answer will be in the question itself....we need to have concentration...don't waste time trying to solve doing all rough work...read the question first... 17 If pqrstuvw are numbered from22 - 33 not necessarily in that order....given few condition like R is as much less than u as t is more than p etc etc...and many more conditions llike this... One condition was q is in the middlle... find the orer of the letters starting from lowest to highest. And in the choices there was only option which had q in the middle ..so guys don't waste time trying to arrange the letters jst check the conditions and look in the choices which satisfies 18 if 39X41=15 and 47X56=12 then 24X78=? (numbers not exactly same but model)it was tough 19 The ratio of the no of boys to teachers is 3:80.if 3/5 of the students r girls and the no of boys is 51 more then the no of girls find the no of teachers.( Not sure may be one more condition missing). if DKML is coded as MNJK then FGHY is coded as ( letters r not same)..it was toughone more on probality like a 6 letter is to formed insuch a way that no letter is repeated etc etc I don't remember exact question another one like rabbit gives tortise a start of 200 m .if 2 leaps of rabbit is equal to 3 leaps of tortise then find the no of steps taken by rabbit to catch up with tortise..(not exactly but model is similar)

They too don't expect that you'll give that kind of answer. you should just have a reason behind your selection of companies. 1. Tell me about yourself. She picked up some points in between and asked about them. 2. (We were asked to fill a form containing our details, including strengths and weaknesses) She asked about the weaknesses. Tell how you are trying to overcome that weakness. 3. What were the companies whose tests you took before Wipro? A. Oracle and Convergys. 4. Why not TCS and Infosys? 5. Why Wipro now?

(I asked about the difference in the nature of training provided two months before joining Wipro and the three months training provided after joining Wipro.)

(This round took around 15 minutes) The questions in HR were easier as compared to the those asked last year as they involved knowledge about self only.

Though there were some more based on my answers. ************************************************************ ********
