Hitachi Consultancy Interview Experience Pune 2019
Hitachi Consulting has a different approach than mass recruiters. They have in total of 6 rounds each of them being elimination round.
Round 1 Online test
It won’t be right to call the online test easy because most of the students get eliminated in this round. The test wasn’t that tough but it was the marking scheme that causes the elimination of most of the students. The marking scheme here was of +1 and -2 i.e. +1 for every correct answer and -2 for every wrong answer.
The time duration was 120 min which consists of about 60 verbal + aptitude questions and 50 technical questions. Yes, 110 questions in 120 min. By looking at question to time ratio you must have come to the conclusion that the questions were basic. Yes some of them were very easy, some were a bit confusing.
!!!!!! Don’t take risk of attempting confusing questions especially the one related to the output of C/c++ code snippets.
Tip
To crack this test is to attempt only those questions for which you are sure. It’s not necessary to solve all the questions. even I attempted only 70-80 questions.
The results were declared after a week.
It was a pool drive and I was the only one from my college who was selected for the next round.
Round 2 GD (Group discussion)
As it was my first GD so I wasn’t well prepared for it still it went well.
The topics of GD are usually easy.
Tip
Don’t interrupt when someone is speaking.
Try to be calm and composed and please try to be polite.
It’s a plus point if you start or conclude but it’s not so necessary.
At the end of the day all that matters is how innovative, important, informative, useful and out of the box is your point.
The results of this round are declared just after the GD.
Round 3 Essay Writing
This wasn’t an elimination round although the essay is evaluated during the HR round.
You are expected to write an essay in 20-30 min.
Tip
