After the resume screening, the shortlisted candidates were sent a link to the test which was scheduled a few days later. The test had 2 sections - Technical and Aptitude MCQs, and a Coding section.

Round 3 - Coding Test 

The Coding test had 2 easy-medium level questions. They were fairly easy to complete, and I successfully passed all test-cases.

Round 4 - Technical 

(9 Questions)

  • Q1. Tell me about any of the projects on your resume.
  • Q2. Explain the working of Bubble Sort (I had to pen down the pseudo-code, but others were asked to write the code as well).
  • Q3. Explain the working of Insertion Sort.
  • Ans. 

    Insertion Sort is a simple sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array one item at a time.

    • Start from the second element and compare it with the previous elements to find its correct position in the sorted array.

    • Repeat this process for all elements in the array.

    • Example: Given array of strings ['banana', 'apple', 'orange'], after insertion sort it becomes ['apple', 'banana', 'orange'].

  • Answered by AI
  • Q4. How would you find the maximum and second-maximum numbers in an array? (Pseudo-code)
  • Ans. 

    Use a loop to iterate through the array and keep track of the maximum and second-maximum numbers.

    • Initialize two variables to store the maximum and second-maximum numbers.

    • Iterate through the array and update the variables accordingly.

    • Handle edge cases like when the array has less than two elements.

  • Q6. What do you understand by the phrase 'pass-by-value'?
  • Ans. 

    Pass-by-value is a method of passing arguments to a function where the actual value of the argument is copied to a new variable.

    • In pass-by-value, a copy of the actual value of the argument is passed to the function.

    • Any changes made to the parameter inside the function do not affect the original value outside the function.

    • Primitive data types like integers, floats, and characters are typically passed by value.

    • Example: i...

  • Q7. If you're given two CSV files, containing 2 columns each, how would you merge the two files using Python?

    • Merge the DataFrames using a common column as the key

    • Save the merged DataFrame to a new CSV file

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: There is no much importance given to resume. Make a simple resume, with your basic details, percentages of your degree,inter and 10th. Put some columns for hobbies, achievements etc. Describe all your projects done in your entire degree (3 projects are enough).
Tips: You can impress as much as possible with your resume. Put all the achievements you have done in your entire degree in the resume. Even if you don't have any, don't worry no one is going to check your resume during your interview.

Round: Test
Experience: Similarly, like other IT companies accenture, cognizant WIPRO also conducts an aptitude test by AMCAT. You must good enough at aptitude,logical and english. But in addition to these subjects, WIPRO conducts basic C exam. So, this exam consists of 4 sections- aptitude,logical,english and basic C. All sections are of multiple choice questions only.
Tips: Good news is that WIPRO is the only company that conducts this exam only for the candidates who have CGPA below 8 at the time of placement. Just be thorough with the aptitude, logical, english and basic C.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: This is very simple round in the selection process. So  no one consider this as they know that every candidate will be using mobile phone to complete his essay. This might be the reason, in some colleges WIPRO conducted JAM( JUST A MINUTE) round instead of this round. They just give some simple topics and you have to write/talk using some good vocabulary.
Tips: They just check your vocabulary and your way of approach to the topic. If they are conducting JAM. They check your confidence and way of talking. This is not a round you must worry for.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: If you are in Interview round, you are almost 80% qualified for the post. Just be good at your basics of your core branch. For e.g, as I'am from EEE branch, they asked me about transformer,diode,analog to digital converter,etc some very basic questions about core. And also be good at C, some times they'll ask to write some basic programs like swap two numbers. definitions of array,union,pointer,structure,functions etc.
Tips: Be good at basics of your core branch and basic. They may also ask about any random project that you put in resume. Make sure that you can explain your project well with confidence.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This is very easy one. Just prepare before itself about what to say for ''TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF''. Because this the compulsory question for every candidate. There is a bond of 18 months during our time. So they'll ask weather you are ready for that bond. Say YES with confidence. They'll also ask ''WHY YOU ARE CHOOSING WIPRO'' or ''WHY YOU ARE CHOOSING IT FIELD''. Give some valid points that impress them. Finally, they'll ask if you have any queries. Prepare well for these questions.
Tips: Be confident, because this is just a casual conversation between you and interviewer. Show your desperation at every moment even though job is not your primary target.  Make sure that person mustn't know that you are planning for higher studies.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Its not an elimination round, you can go with your informal clothes on.
Tips: Any one who has prepared for day 1 and day 2 companies will get through this round. Just read news papers and learn to shoot graphs here and there even if it has got absolutely no facts and definitely practice to write a lot. Be prepared with both for and against the topic coz the interviewer keeps changing the topic in between the GD.The topic was same as that of the case study Don’t write bullet-ed points, this makes your cases look small. Try applying your vocabulary spectrum. Try to give exhibits even if you don’t know any facts.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: 12 students on the table, one interviewer.
Tips: Play old school .But don’t wait for your chance, just break into it, but with a gentlemanly attitude. Try giving examples. Throw arbitrary facts to prove your points, if you don’t remember the real figures.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Two interviewee were present.
Tips: Don’t start with your brilliancein your core subject. Tell them you hate your department. Convince them that you won’t ditch them for a Ph.D or an MBA. Tell them you have a friend at Wipro who keeps giving you intel about how great the company is. Look confident and if at times you can be funny, they will appreciate it!!

Skill Tips: 8 and above CGPA is required. Later it was lowered to 7.9, mine was 7.98. They mainly ask HR questions, so being involved in Extra-academic activities gives you more that you can talk of. I had an eye for coding in C++. Helped me on this, but my extra-acads list was enough. Coding was just a bonus. If they are non core its better. But my both the internships were core based. You just have to convince them why you are dropping from core.

General Tips: This company, as I understand, is looking for future managers. No technical preparation is required as didn’t ask a single question related to academics. You just need to convince them that you are ready to do whatever they want you to do in the company be it coding or data entry and depending on your luck and soft skills you will get through.
Skill Tips: Cut off is 8.
