Sometimes i have passed some exams with marks close to the lower cut off but never failed in my life. So, I never even can think of it. My days were awfully tensed from 19th to 24th of September during the campusing and even it took my sleep away. It could be so that all my friends were selected except me. But, I was lucky and everything happened to me was in my favor. And on 25th of September, when I saw my name in the lists of final selected candidates, I was just too happy. And believe me, this kind feeling can not be expressed in words. I actually got selected in two companies :
Infosys &
Wipro. I am going to share the interview questions I faced for the future job seekers:
Wipro:
Technical Interview:
The interviewer was a lady and tried to comfort me offering water and chips. :-) :-) I said "No, it's okay ma'm, thank you' with a smiling face(It is very important that you keep a smile in your face always).It was quiet a long session but I never felt uncomfortable with her. She first took some time while going through my CV and then she asked me:
1) Introduce yourself. Explain the essay( they gave a topic to write on, my topic was: your vision on economic status of India as Superpower).
2) Do you have any idea about data link layer?
3) What is the main difference between Procedural language and Object Oriented Programming(OOP) language?
4) What is the advantage of OOP?
5) What is structure in C?
6) What is the difference between array and structure in C?
7) Write a query to have the full outer join of two tables in DBMS?
8) Do you have any idea about normalization in DBMS? Explain 1NF, 2NF, 3NF. Explain transitive dependency.
9) What is you favorite subject in Engineering?
10) If you are given a chance to choose among DBMS and JAVA to work with, which one you will choose?
11) Do you have any idea about how the business and outsourcing are done?
12) Do you have any gaps?
13) If we want to sign a bond with you with 15000 per month in the training period and then with the full package for 3years, will you accept it?
14) Will your family be comfortable if you are asked to work outside Kolkata?
15) If you are asked to work till 11pm in the night, your family would also want you in the evenings, but if you have to work, then how will you manage?
16) Being a woman, we have so many responsibilities to handle. I mean now you are okay, but after few years say after 10 to 15 years, how will you handle it?
17)In which area will you like to work- hardware/ software/ programming?
Convinced enough with my answers she told me: Dipanwita, according to me, you can now wait for the HR. Thank you.
HR Interview:
It was a very small session, just about two to three minutes.
1) So, Dipanwita, introduce yourself.
2) Please tell what you wrote in the essay.(I cited some situations which are against the free growth of a developing country like India.)
3) What do you think the remedy is?(the remedy for the situations I cited)
4) Dipanwita, do you have any gaps?
5) Are you relocatable?
And that was all... She said: " It was nice talking to you Dipanwita".
This was all for me with Wipro and then on 24th I had to give the aptitude test for Infosys. I was selected for the interview. On 25th the interview was held.
Infosys (HR Interview):
The interviewer was smiling and friendly which helped me to be very comfortable on the D-day. It was hardly about 3-4 minutes session. The interview was like:
He: So, Dipanwita are you comfortable?
Me: Yes, sir.
He: Okay, tell me something additional to the application form (the only document they went through) so that I can assess you.
Me: Told.
He: So, cooking is one of your hobbies?
Me: Yes, sir.
He: What kind of items you cook?
Me: Told.
He: what did you cook for the last time?
He: So, you try recipes from the reality shows?
Me: Yes, sir, I do.
He: What do you think is necessary for working in a project?
Me: Told.
He: If you are assigned to a project, what steps you will follow?
Me: Told.
He: Ok, It was nice talking to you, Wish you all the best and have a nice day.
Everything went so well, but I was not convinced until the result was out. And what happened afterward, I have expressed already. So, all the best for the future job seekers... :-) :-) :-D
