WIPRO PATTERN & INTERVIEW - 03 APR 2007 - BHUVANESWAR

Hi Friends

I m Biswapratap Chatterjee from KIIT - UNIVERSITY Bhubaneswar. WIPRO visited our campus on 3rd April 2007

Appeared : 650 students .
Written cleared : 288 students .
Technical Interview cleared : 155 students .
HR interview cleared : 147 students .

AND GUESS WHAT ?  I WAS ONE OF THOSE 147's !!!!

VERY IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE :
1. Probably WIPRO is one of those companies, who are looking for very technically sound students.
2. The written exam is totally different from companies like TCS (NO REPETATION). THERE WILL BE SECTIONAL CUTOFF !!
3. There were 15 english questions (EASY). ---------- cutoff around [8]
4. There were 15 quantitative(all)/reasoning(all)   questions (TRICKY !!) ------- cutoff around [8]
5. There were 20 technical questions from C, C++, OS (important), LINUX ... ------ cutoff around [9]
6. The technical interview was really a mamoth task !!!!

7. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT IN WIPRO TECH_INTERVIEW IS THE REAL ELIMINATION ROUND !!!!
8. If you are from CS or IT department than you have a very +ve strength, untill and unless you answer the questions in tech round !!!
9. They will try to ask you questions that are not in your curriculum but DO NOT SAY BLUNTLY THAT "I DON'T KNOW" .
10. They want to see your approach, when you are in a critical situation (When you dont know the answer of something).
11. Dont be very careless during your HR ROUND bcoz you dont want to be among the unfortunate 8 to 10 students !!!

Atlast I want to mention ..... Apart from MICROSOFT, GOOGLE like companies, selection in WIPRO is a respect in within that "I have cleared the most technically tough company". So be technically thorough and try to study in depth, my utmost advice to those students who are from CS or IT department.

TIPS
1) Don't be frightened (Greatest Enemy).
2) Try to pursue the interviewer to ask questions which you know.
3) Always try to expose how much you know, bcoz its now or never !!!
4) Respect yourself and be confident !!!
5) Last but not the least "BEST OF LUCK" .
