WIPRO Placement Paper, 12th July 2008, Bangalore
Hi guys....this was my second company & luckily because of god's(sri krishna's) grace i got placed in wipro on 12th July 2008 in Banglore.... i actually had not thought of getting into wipro.. i thought ill just try & it would b a practice session for me....so had just taken it very lightly....but somehow luckily could clear aptitude test...

In selection process there will b 3 rounds..
1>aptitude test which consists of 3 sections..All the sections r compulsory...so give equal importance to al sections because there will b sectional cut off...
those three sections r
QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE
VERBAL SECTION
TECHNICAL SECTION
2>technical interview
3>HR interview

give equal importance to al sections in aptitude test ...i m stressing this point more.... the questions in verbal were quite difficult....so i had to guess the words ..but if u have r preparing for competitive exams like gre,cat... then it will b an added feature to u & u can make it very fast... there will b passages, analogy,fill in the blanks with correct words, identify the wrong sentences & so on.... u must b fast enough... read the passage at the last if u have time....

then the quantitative aptitude section was quite easy & nice... i liked it.... there were questions on mixtures, series, profit& loss, puzzles which r easy, blood relationship, trains, clock, probability...... u have to do calculations fast.... that,s all... do al question whichever u feel easy first & then try for difficult ones...

technical was also quite straight forward like output from c program, unix commands & basics of C , atleast 1 vauge question... but u need not bother about it ,...if u r a cs or is student then u can easily crack it.....

My technical interview went on for only about 8 minutes...my b i was lucky...
