Hi Friends

I m Lakhan Lalla, I attended the campus drive of HSBC GLTi. at BIT, Durg.
It consisted of three stages..

3. HR

The written test was further subdivided in 4 sections:
1. English (quite easy)
2. Analytical and logical questions (a bit confusing but not tough)
3. Aptitude (i found that section a bit tough... R.S .. will merely help)

I cleared the written test.. Here is what i was asked by the Interviewer in the Technical part...
1. Tell me abt ur self. then he introduced himself.
2. ur current sem subjects.

5. Give an example of Natural join (he gaved me two tables, i answered)
6. Find the greatest among the following(6/7, 8/9,5/6).. i didnt understand why did he ask that.. i answered it within 5 sec.
7. A C program :
