Directions (Q. 11-25): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are given in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.

The health of nations can be measured by the food security and well-being of their people. An innovative programme in India shows how botanic gardens can contribute to that well-being by educating people about the uses of local biodiversity, particularly for healthcare and income-generation.
     In 1994, the Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute in Kerala launched two outreach programmes - “Herbs for All and Health for All” and “Plants for All and Wealth for All”. The programmes teach people how to take care of their food, nutrition, hygiene and health by making the best use of the plant resources around them.
     The Research Institute selected four rural villages as partners. A team of scientists, including botanists, experts in Ayurveda (a holistic system of healing, which evolved among the sages of India some 3000-5000 years ago), and sociologists visited the villages and met with local leaders to explain the programmes. The villages selected representatives to attend a two-day workshop in Kerala devoted to agro biodiversity and conservation.
     The workshop particularly highlighted the role of home gardens as a tool for the community management of genetic resources. The students visited a model home garden at the institute, composed of many different medicinal and ornamental plants and vegetables. They were encouraged to take samples from the home garden with them when they returned to their villages.
     The next step was intensive training on primary health care and the conservation and sustainable use of plant diversity. The trainees, a core group of 10 people selected from the workshop participants by each village, learned how to treat common ailments with plants conserved at the Botanic Garden.
     At the end of the training, they were furnished with seedlings of medicinal plants and lesser known fruits and vegetables, as well as practical information on cultivating them back home.
     Returning to their villages, the trainees each adopted 20 local families to educate in the preparation and use of plant-based herbal medicines, stressing the need for self-reliance in the primary health care of family members.
The programme has since been extended to other villages and the Botanic Garden and Research Institute has widened its reach even further by producing and distributing brochures, fliers and books in the local language on primary health care, commonly cultivated medicinal and aromatic plants and wild edible fruits and vegetables.
     The Kerala programme has been recognized by the World Bank and international organizations as an inspiration for projects in developing countries.

Wipro Infotech Fresher Job Interview Placement Paper Pattern (Aptitude, Essay, Technical & Interview) 2010

No. of rounds: 4
1: Aptitude test
2: Essay writing
3: Technical Interview
4: HR interview

The above pattern is the latest followed by Wipro Recruitement Team.The Aptitute Test is conducted online on the computer so there are very less chances of any error creeping in. The test was conducted in 4 slots with around 70 students in one slot. The interface was clean and smooth with excellent work from the coordinators in carrying out the test.

1: Aptitude test: It had 3 sections namely verbal ability, quantitative apti, technical knowledge.
Verbal: 15 Questions
Quantitative: 15 Question
Technical: 20 Questions
Test Duration: 60min

Verbal had simple english ques, passage based ques, synonyms, antonyms, phrases, fill in the blanks etc.Completed this section in around 15 minutes since the questions were very very simple.  Quantitative had questions from time speed distance, logical thinking, blood relationship etc.Can't remember more....However this section was also easy and completed it in around 15-20 minutes. Just brush up your concepts and general formulae and you will be fine with it.

Technical was the toughest section with questions on c, c++ , java, Operating System, and unix / linux ques.Some questions from Unix were way over the top but the trick is to clear the cutoff which lies around 10-12 marks in technical.You can easily score that much if you can do c, c++, java and maybe OS.

2: Essay writing:
Duration: 10min

They consider only text written on front side of the A4 paper.This seems to be a mere formality to check your arrangement of ideas and there representation.My topic was "College Politics"

3: Technical Interview: The technical interview went for around 20-25 minutes with questions ranging from your project, training informaion, your favourite subject. The question were majorly easy and simple to answer instead of the difficult progrmas and in depth question that are asked in some of the interviews

The question that they asked apart from technical ones were- are you ready to relocate anywhere in India.Can you fill the bond that we were asked to fill once we get placed in Wipro.What are your career aspirations. Show them your confidence....

4: HR INTERVIEW: The final stage of wipro placement drive. My interview began at 11:15pm. Although i was sleeping at that time but try to maintain your energy...keep a smile on your face :)

My interview was taken by the Head who came with her team from bangalore.She was nice and friendly.She asked me to tell something about myself which is not in my CV.Then she asked me the most challenging thing i had ever done in my life followed by why should we hire you?

At the end she asked me if i had any questions.

Just be yourself, be confident, CONFIDENCE is the key...Dont forget to remember the almighty and on your day nobody can stop you from achieving your aspirations.. All the best for your placement...... :)

How to get a job at Wipro

What are the winning traits of a potential employee?
Team skills, confidence and poise. We see if the candidate can fit into Wipro's culture as we place utmost importance on integrity. We want people to be Wipro's strength.

What advice would you give fresh graduates?
We advice potential employees to focus on two critical aspects. One is fundamentals. More than the domain of study, an analytical bent of mind is critical to solving customer problems and thriving in a long term career.

The second critical aspect that we see as a major challenge is communication skills. Candidate need to invest in improving their communication abilities, and this is gaining prominence with market becoming more and more competitive and global.

And my interview advice to students would be -- just be cool!

Education: Diploma/ graduates (BSc/ BCom) / postgraduates (MSc/MCom) from full-time courses only can apply.
Qualifying percentage: Graduates from any stream with 50 per cent in class 10, 12 and 60 per cent in graduation and postgraduation.
Placement test/ Interview date: Throughout the year, on predetermined  dates and venues at different campuses.

The selection process involves an aptitude test, PC skills test, HR round and a spoken English test. The duration of the test is 60 minutes and questions in the verbal and analytical sections are along the lines of the CAT and GMAT entrance examinations.

Upon joining, candidates are trained and absorbed in any of the business units at Wipro, which could include industry verticals, service lines, performing the role of software development, testing and remote infrastructure management, among others.

On campus recruitments
Education: Final year BTech
Qualifying percentage: 50 per cent in class 10, 10+2 and 60 per cent in college
Placement test/ Interview date: December/ January/ February

Recruitment process
Recruitment of final year engineering students takes place on campus through a screening test called the Wipro Entrance Test. Wipro conducts placement tests in nearly 100 engineering colleges each year. These colleges are evaluated by Wipro Accreditation Process which evaluates colleges on several parameters, chief among them are student performance, faculty profile, placement history and learning infrastructure.

Wipro representatives visit these identified accredited campuses at a mutually convenient date and time to conduct pre-placement presentation. This takes place a month or two before the main test. In pre-placement, students are given an overview of the company, its several businesses, career opportunities and a low-down on eligibility and selection process.

Final year BTech students with 50 per cent aggregate marks in class 10, 10+2 and 60 per cent in graduation are eligible for the test. Wipro considers graduates from all specialisations.

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 online; only when a college does not have the infrastructure to support an online 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. Shortlisted 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 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 Bahirwani.

The pay package is at par with industry standards. According to industry estimates, starting pay package is between Rs 3-4 lakh/annum

Off-campus recruitments
Education: BSc/ BTech
Qualifying percentage: As specified in the advertisement
Placement test/Interview date: As specified

Wipro also conducts off-campus hiring, which is not institution-specific and is open for students across institutions. Off-campus recruitments are done for the here-and-now kind of needs of the organisation, which are advertised on its website and yes, candidates do have to appear for the placement test.

WIPRO PATTERN & INTERVIEW PAPER - 2007

Package:
2.75 - 3.25 lakhs p.a. for BE/BTech/MCA.
3 - 3.50 lakhs for ME.
Now the thing is there is a 3 months training, then, after a test it will be decided what slot you land up in.

Bonds:
The company will sign a bond of Rs 75000 for commiting a period of 15 months and after that the money will be returned but without the interest applicable on the amount. Finally those who are having trouble arranging the money Wipro has a tie up with SBI that a minimum amount of 5000 is to be paid and rest SBI will pay and ofcourse the installments will be deducted from salary.

Experience:
The PPT (Pre Placement Talks) started at about 9:30 and the team was of about 12 - 15 persons working with Wipro for more than 3 years. Commonly they were for 7-8 years working with Wipro. So it felt good to meet people who have worked for a long time with the company.

If all goes well you will find some part of the ppt as really interesting as ("You pass, We Pay", wisdom schools, their tie up with the reputed higher education institutes. It will get long to explain all this. I found that of the 3 companies only Wipro supports and encourages its employees to undergo certificate cources (java, MCSE, redhat linux, etc) and do MBA or MS or whatever they feel like Wipro will sponser if you pass.

Written test: Though i cleared the written of TCS and Infosys i found the paper of Wipro to be tough.
Not scaring you all
English (15 Questions)
1. Antonyms and synonyms
2. Jumbled (rel easy but if you try it with options)
3. Error finding, speech (active, passive), etc

Overall English was fine but as i haven't read any book about English it was difficult for me to get some words correct. There is no negative marking so it became easy to take chances. Majority part was 'b' and only a few as 'a'

Aptitude (15 Questions)
damn easy but extreme time taking. some required logic and direct answer without solving even
1.trains(distance, speed, etc) find the clock time of approach
2.sorry don't remember much but overall it was fine.

Technical (20 question)
If you remember the concepts and syntax i don't feel it will be a problem. But still fear the worse and try hard on syntax and cram the complexities data of all sorting algos.
1. a*=2 Sol. a=a*a ie a*=n is a=n times a. or a=a^n
2. complexity
3. trees as definition
4. error etection in code
well alot more but were fine. but don't just jump out of your bed and reach there. do all possible things you can do.

Finally you clear the test. Be sure if there is any negative marking. It was not in our case atleast. Hope the same for you.

Interview Technical
It all depends on luck that what panel you get, for me it was so cool person I was feeling like talking to my senior.

WORD OF CAUTION
A suggestion from my friend really worked good that reduce the size of cv to 1page. mine was 1.5 page.
1. remove all details you are not confident of and if you have to mention them then add it to "Areas of interest" so that you can say you have an interest in the subject but as you did it as part of curriculum.
2. Add some extra curricular activities if you haven't done any. As was my case.
I'm a computer
freak and i did everything in computers.

Questions were based on the projects alot. Just explain properly about each detain about the projects you have done. then even if you don't know any answer coolly say "sorry....! I don't know or i don't remember the answer"
If your communication skills are good you will surely get through technical if luck favours you.
Overall tech was fine and it went about 25 mins in mine and in others people were sent back with the HR form in just 5 mins.

HR Interview
The HR round was alot interesting:
1. tell about family and background
2. do SWOT analysis of yourself (strength, weakness, opportunities, threats)
3. you have any problem signing the bond?
4. What is job satisfaction
I hope these are the common questions as i knew that from many she asked the same question. Finally result came at 11PM after a wait of some 9 - 10 hours and I got selected in Wipro.
