•  The written exam level will range from difficulty from moderate to difficult, and candidates must approach each section with caution and care.
•  The quantitative ability section of the paper is to assess the applicants' mathematical abilities and knowledge. This part includes questions on algebra, ratios, and proportions, simple and compound interest,   profit and loss, HCF & LCM, permutations and combinations, time speed and distance, time and work, trigonometry, height and distance, percentage, probability, and other topics.
•  The reasoning section is to assess applicants' logical and analytical abilities, as well as their wit and mental agility.

•  The third section is the technical ability section, which is used to assess candidates' technical know-how and knowledge. Candidates should expect questions about programming languages, computer programs, data structures, algorithms, and other fundamental concepts. This section can be passed by if you have a strong command on the concepts.

Round 2:  Group Discussion

Students who pass the written round are called to participate in the Group Discussion Round. In this round, you will be given a topic and asked to express your opinions on it, either in favour or against it. They want to put your communication skills to the test. They simply want to gauge your self-confidence and language abilities. 

Candidates will be given random topics to debate and discuss after expressing their opinions and ideas on the subject.

This round is sometimes replaced by a JAM (Just A Minute) round, in which you must speak for one minute on the topic provided to you.

Tips: 

• Take initiative
• Speak clearly and fluently
• Be confident
• Give everyone a chance to speak and wait for your turn. 
• Share your points as soon as another candidate is finished.
• Interrupting others is not a good idea.
• Be polite and professional

Round 3:  Technical Interview

Students who pass the GD round are called to participate in the Technical Round. There is no hard and fast rule for which topics will be asked in this round; depending on the panel, you can expect questions on any topic. To pass this round, you must have a firm grasp on the fundamentals, Data structures and algorithms, DBMS, Operating System, Networking, OOPs ideas, and a programming language of your choice should be covered. Students in areas other than CS should study the other two subjects that are relevant to their field. In the interview, CS students will be expected to write code. They also quiz you on the information you have mentioned on your résumé.

Interview Round

This is the final and most important step of the entire selection process, which includes a face-to-face interview with the company's human resources department. The HR round is a completely unscripted event in which candidates should expect the unexpected. There is no set of questions that will suffice for this round, nor is there a set of questions that the interviewer will ask or not ask. Candidates can pass this stage with pure confidence, knowledge, and mental fortitude.

You may expect general HR questions like,


• Tell me about Yourself

• Why HCL?
• What are your strengths and weaknesses?

• Resume-related questions

The list of candidates is announced after all of the interviews are completed. If you passed the HCL interview process, your name will appear on this list, and you will receive your offer letter and joining letter within a week.
