Last Day of College

Last four years have passed with a lot of patience, tolerance and what not. But all that was worth it as finally I have completed my course and have earned the title of Engineer Sahab. As if it’s something worth bragging about.  To be frank I have not liked a single day of last four years I have spent at the institute. There was nothing that’ll bring sweet memories. Food tasted worse than medicines, weather was a constant reminder of hell, lectures were lullabies and friends I had none. All the stories of freedom and independence showed their true colors.

Anyways, I didn’t want to write this post telling my dukh bhari dastaan to the world. I wanted to do this post to thank and share the heart melting gestures my juniors showed on the last day. I couldn’t tolerate Kolkata anymore so I had decided to leave the day I had my last exam. I had to do everything on that same day. Return the books of the library; get my packing done and everything else as well. I returned to my room as fast as I could after exam and after a little rest started packing up all my belongings. I was alone at the hostel as my peers had left for having their own parties and juniors had exams.

The fun part, what has prompted me to do this post, began after they, juniors, returned from exam. They stayed constantly with me immediately from the time they returned until I boarded my train. They helped me with my packing, carried my entire luggage to the station, and it was pretty heavy, stayed with me at the local- train station even when I had to wait there for over an hour.

Finally they came with me to the station from where I had to get another train again carrying my entire luggage. I had never been subjected to such love and respect. I have always travelled with no one seeing me off or picking me up. I have always been independent.  I hate such independence. These guys almost made me cry. I owe these guys. Ill never be able to repay.

Thanks a lot all of you who made my last day at institute my best day there.

Blah Blah ! Yada Yada!

Yeah I know I know its been long since I have posted anything here. Nothing much going anyways, so what d'you think Ill post about.
The story so far is that I have a job offer already and my exams aren't even over yet. Only a week left though.

Most of the companies don't  seem to be on a recruiting spree this year. They are says its a slowdown this year. Good for them but what about us? Huh? Where do we go. And those which are hiring want to get their work done at dirt cheap packages.

That's all for now folks! Looks like its screwed already.

BTW if you want some more inside info on recruitment process of Wipro BPO, IBM GBS Support Executives etc let me know. I have gone through they recruitment process a couple of times after my last post. I might make a post about that as well. May be next time.

Later.

WIPRO BPO Campus Drive

Hi
Today I attended the campus recruitment drive of Wipro BPO. It was a nice experience even though I did not get selected.

There were altogether four rounds.

First Round:

Very basic interview round only two question was given.

1. Tell me about yourself.
2. Read the first two sentences from the given passage.

The sentences were simple tongue twisters. In this round about half of the participants were shown the exit door.

Round Two: Personal Interview.

Don't know what happened in that as I never sat for it I was advanced to the round three directly after round one.

Round Three: Telephonic Interview.
In this round we got a call from Wipro on our cell phone. It had three phases.
Phase one:
A simple conversation round, I was given the question "Which sports according to you is most famous?".
I replied "Globally football". What I remember from the conversation follows.
Q: Why do you think football is most popular sports
A: Cheap, Good teams throughout the world, Older. (Well these answers were given in proper sentences not just keyword. Here I mention only the keywords.)

Q: Do you think its a sports or an art.
A:Sports

Q:Why
A:blah blah blah

Q:What do you like about Football and what you don't like
A: Like Team spirit, Don't like foul play.

There were some other questions as well.

Phase Two:
Similar questionnaire about Laptop and Desktop. I chose Laptop and similar questions about laptop followed.

Phase Three:
I was told to read a passage of about four paragraphs on the phone.

Didn't clear this round :-(

Round Four: Technical Round
A sheet a 20 objective type questions divide in two parts was given. Question were extremely basic computer familiarity type.
