The results for the written exam came after 1 hour & the selected students were asked to come for the GD. Some of the topics that I remember were Cubical egg, why HCL interview should not select u? This round was not a major elimination round. Only very few were rejected. Then we were asked to come for presentation after the lunch. The interview process started around 3pm, we were divided into 2 groups. I belonged to the 2nd group & it had the interview in the next day morning.



The interview was very easy & all the question where only from the resume. I first it had my technical interview & then the HR interview. In Tech interview I it had most of the question from java & J2ME, coz of my project. There were also question from Linux, SDLC, C++ & DFD.



The HR interview was really cool. I was asked simple question like r u willing to relocate? Why HCL interview should not select u? I was also given a couple of problem & ask to solve. Divide a square into five equal parts? At last around 4 in the evening the results where announced & I am happy to get into HCL interview!!!
