HCL PLACEMENT PAPERS & PATTERNS FOR INFRA PROFILE
The whole process was divided into 5 rounds:
- 1. Grammar Test
- 2. Voice and Accent test.
- 3. Technical Interview
- 4. HR Interview
- 5. AMCAT online Test
1. GRAMMAR TEST
The grammar test was quite easy. It contained 20 questions like fill in the blanks with suitable words, error correction.
2. VOICE AND ACCENT TEST
This was the major round as most of the students were rejected at this stage. Groups of 25 students were made and around 4-5 were selected in each group.
Each student was given a topic on which they had to speak for 1 minute.
Topics were not at all tough. They were as simple as ” what did you do this morning?” I was also given an easy topic which was “Tell me about your favourite TV show?”
I would suggest that to clear this round all you need is confidence, voice clarity and do not fear. Reading aloud and speaking in English can do wonders for you.
All they wanted to judge is HOW you speak rather than WHAT you speak.
