Getting into WIPRO - Part 2- 17-Jun-2010
Test and interview
The placements tests are devised by the company itself and these are conducted in the months of December, January and February. The placement test comprises two parts: written test and personal interviews. Usually, both take place on the same day, but when the number of applicants is higher, interviews are taken the following day.
Written test
The total duration of the written test is 60 minutes. The written test is divided into three sections namely, verbal, analytical and technical. The test is conducted on-line; only when a college does not have the infrastructure to support an on-line test that a pen-paper test is taken. GRE or GMAT test papers are helpful in preparing for test. Within hours of the test, results are declared. Short-listed candidates then proceed for the interview which takes place in two rounds: technical and Human Resource or personal.
Technical round
In the technical round, the candidate is assessed for his/her subject knowledge and abilities. The personal interview which takes place with the HR team assesses the candidate on HR competencies and Wipro Values such as integrity and honesty. Often the final results are announced on the very same day, or else the following day.
Salary and bond
On joining day, selected candidates are asked to sign a bond. The duration of the bond is 18 months and signing it means that for that period the candidate cannot apply elsewhere. "The purpose behind signing the bond is that we want our potential employers to grow with us," says Pradeep Bahirwani, Vice President, Talent Acquisition, Wipro Technologies.
The pay package is at par with industry standards. According to industry estimates, starting pay package is between Rs 3-4 lakh/annum
