To clear the HCL TECHNOLOGIES written test, all u have to do is use BASIC LOGIC.
Go through all the previous papers. The questions usually get repeated.
There are 4 sections.
- Aptitude
- General computer concepts
- C programming
- Flowchart analysis
There’s negative marking. So be careful.
The only constraint is Time.
So if can utilize the time well, then u will definitely clear the test.
ALL THE BEST.
Aptitude.

HR Interview :
This was not the regular kinda HR round.
I was asked about my parents
- My project
- Was given a realistic problem 2 solve.
- As I was from Hyd, he wanted me 2 convince him about my commitment to HCL
