Experience: The questions were basic, some where well known like reversing a link list using recursion, designing of car parking lot using concept of oops, find tree height/diameter, etc.
Tips: 1. They ask you to write complete code on paper. This sometimes turn out to be a challenging task when you don't have compiler to correct you on basic things. Practice writing codes on paper.
2. They surely ask questions on oops, like polymorphism, inheritance, etc. besides their definition, also practice writing sudo codes to explain them

Round: HR Interview

Tips: They will try to grill you on some questions like 'Why we should hire you?', have a clear reason in your mind. Your other answers should not contradict with your reasons

General Tips: I don't know about other colleges but HP recruits small number of students from my university. Coding questions were average level and can easily be tackled. Many students were rejected after HR interview so don't take it lightly. They do grill you in a very good style if they are in doubt about your selection
