Let me introduce myself.I am SAIDUTTA BIBHU PRASAD BEHERA,a student
of mechanical engineering of ITER.With the grace of GOD,my n my
mentors effort & a bit of luck,I qualified through WIPRO in an on
campus recruitment drive on 3rd March 5, 2006.I will ink down my
experience in simple language to share with you which may be a
solution to your queries you have regarding recruitment drives.I
hope you will connect…
First of all- QUESTION PATTERN???
WRITTEN TEST
Questions were divided into 3 sections-VERBAL(15 ques.),ANALYTICAL(15
ques.) & TECHNICAL(20 ques.).No negative marking.Guess as much as
you can as there is no accuracy rate.
Verbal questions(Cut off-6 to 7 max.) were basically from
Analogy,Jumbled sentences,Fill in the blanks.Also go through
Antonyms n Synonyms.
Books I followed-BARONS,Word power made easy…
Analytical section(Cut off-6 to 7 max.) was completely filled with
long reasoning questions(with simple answers).No questions came from
Aptitude chapters like pecentage,profit n loss,time n distance
etc.BEWARE, questions patterns can change inadvertently.So you never
know…
Technical Section(Cut off-9 to 10 max.) was a part which was
challenging because in WIPRO questions come from different areas of
computers NOT ONLY C, C++,Data structure n RDBMS.There was only 5 to
6 questions from C and C++ out of 20
ques(structure,postfix-prefix,virtual function,file handling
etc.).So study different previous year question papers to understand
from which areas questions are coming…
TECHNICAL INTERVIEW
In my tech interview,I was asked questions for 40 minutes(out of
which 20 minutes was of technical n 20 minutes directed to some HR
questions to test my communication skills,body language ).JUST SHOW
YOUR CONFIDENCE ‘N’ BE IN A POSITIVE FRAME OF MIND - this is the key
sentence which you need to work upon to qualify any
interview.Confidence really matters.DEVELOP THE ART OF READING YOUR
INTERVIEWER’S MIND –believe me,this will help you immensely.SPEAK
CLEARLY,LOUDLY IN A CONVINCING MANNER IN A HONEST N SUBMISSIVE
WAY.Communication skills really do matter.In all the interview
panels,they looked out for smart people to fit into the corporate
world. Let us look into the questions that was asked to me…
-Most importantly, prepare a sensible and intelligent CURRICULUM
VITAE .Dont ever try to -COPY N PASTE.Every CV was glanced line by
line.Write about those things which is relevant to you.
-Tell me something about yourself (just throw yourself into this
question completely to create an impression).Nearly everyone was
asked this question.
-If you have written something about your project,then you are bound
to be asked to explain your project.So, by writing on your project
you can take 10 min. entirely in your stride.They asked me on my
project ‘Specialisation in AUTOCAD 2004’.
-Most of the students(including me) were asked to speak on a
specific topic for 5 minutes.I was asked to tell something on
‘Indian Ancient Monuments’.REMEMBER,keep on telling unless you are
told to stop.Some were asked to tell on ‘WTC attack’ etc.
-Then came the questions from C n C++.The questions will come from
the subjects that you have written in your CV.The best part is that
they understand the pressure of BPUT.Questions were like
-What is the difference between C n C ++?
-What is Polymorphism?How Polymorphism n Inheritance are related?
-What is Virtual Function?
-Write programs on Inheritance.
-Basic concepts on C
-Be ready to write any simple programs in C like
recursion(factorial,fibonacci series etc),matrix operations,string
operations,structure,small codes(using for, while,do-while,if-else)
-Acquire basic knowledge on Linked Lists,Stack n Queue,Sorting n
Searching,Postfix-Prefix operations, trees n graphs. DONT NEGLECT
DATA STRUCTURE.Students got disqualified as they failed to answer on
DSTC.
-Have fundamental knowledge on RDBMS(like different
keys,Normalization,indexing,Transaction management).
- Have a overall fundamental idea of your branch papers (especially
your favourites) as this is very crucial.
When I was asked about Polymorphism,I started with a bang explaining
everything including operator overloading,function
overloading,virtual function until he stopped me (when I was about
to write program on virtual function) telling “I am impressed by
your prowess in C++,you dont need to explain more”.
MORAL OF THE STORY- Just keep on answering any question of your
‘comfort zone’ confidently(just tell whatever you know relating to
that) until he is satisfied.
I was asked to have a ‘GROUP DISCUSSION’ in the TECH INTERVIEW???So
,expect the unexpected in an interview.I was made to go through GD
with a girl on the topic ‘INDIAN POLTICS’.If you don’t know the
answer of any question then, speak out a ‘POLITE NO’.Dont
hesitate.But if you don’t know the answer but know something related
to it then speak it out taking permission.
BOOKS I FOLLOWED-Let us C,Pointers by Kanetkar,Explorer in C ,Kamthane,Balagurusamy,CITZEN
materials.
In the entire interview,my eyes were stuck to the HR form thinking
whether I will get it or not(the glance of the HR form constantly
inspired n motivated me).But as we say- ‘Fortune favours the
brave’.I could not believe having the HR form in my hand.It was the
most happiest moment of my life.Then came the turn of HR
Interview.So,lets see what happened there…
HR INTERVIEW
I was ecstatic & extremely happy for qualifying the technical
interview.So,I was extremely confident of sailing thru the HR
interview & became complacent.But,my seniors(who were volunteers n
WIPROites) made me aware about my ‘last hurdle’ which was yet to be
completed.Then I controlled myself n prepared to take on the last
quarter.In my HR interview,first of all he asked me about myself and
my college.Then he asked me WHY SHOULD WE HIRE YOU?I answered in a
usual simple way-Sir,your company needs smart & intelligent people
who have got good analytical & communicative skills & I perfectly
justify to your needs.I am creative,dilligent & honest.I have got
basic knowledge of C & C++.Next-YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT C &
C++,RIGHT?-Sir, both these prodigious languages are like boundless
reservoir of knowledge so if I say I know everything about C & C++
then I will belittle the power of C & C++-He was visibly impressed
by my answer (This answer was told to me by one my senior).He asked
me about our tech fest ‘CHAKRAVYUH’(as I was the coordinator)-WHAT
DOES CHAKRAVYUH MEANS?-I replied that “CHAKRAVYUH is something where
ITERites will get in n come out successfully unlike Abhimanyu in
Mahabharata”.Now he suddenly told me that “YOU HAVE GOT WEIRD
COMMUNICATION SKILLS”(even after being completely aware of my nice
comm. skills ).I refused to admit it n showed my state level essay n
debate awards after which he admitted of trying to test me.so,ALWAYS
STICK TO YOUR INSTINCTS N PREPARE BACK-UPS FOR YOUR EVERY
ANSWER.Then he asked the ultimate question “ARE U READY TO SIGN THE
BOND WITH WIPRO N WORK IN ANY PART OF THE COUNTRY?” n my answer was
obvious.And I knew I was selected as I saw my interviewer putting a
tick on the ‘SELECT’ option in the HR form….I was on cloud
nine…exultant n enraptured…
Believe me, there is NO TIPS OR TRICKS to qualify any recruit
test.Of course,LUCK has got its own share.But EFFORT is a constant
which is under your control unlike LUCK which is beyond your
control.So,STOP thinking about luck n concentrate on-‘GIVE YOUR BEST
POSSIBLE SHOT, BELIEVE IN GOD AND believe me,RESULTS WILL FOLLOW
YOU.Always remember to ‘PREPARE FOR THE WORST N HOPE FOR THE
BEST’.Always think of the- ‘spark in your parent’s eyes’( whenever
we complete their dreams)-that’s the ultimate motivation…
My eminent n sterling mentors at CITZEN :
Needless to say, I am indebted to my SWEET n LOVELY Anukampa madam
whose ‘mesmerising smile’ has been a boost for us and ‘constructive
criticism’, a wake up call.I have never ever came across a dedicated
pedagogue like Rashmi Sir who always believed in me and helped me
with his ‘priceless n substantial feedbacks’.And of course,our very
own Sumit Sir without the relentless n tenacious toil of whose our
success would have been a distant dream. I would like to take this
opportunity to thank my esteemed teachers in my college,my friends n
my lovely seniors.And atlast, a big THANKS to my beloved ‘SAIBABA’
who has been…
