Wipro - FRP sheet

Oh my god! this week was so damn quick, never ever have I been occupied for 13 hrs a day. FRP (fundamental Readiness Program) being the first assessment for our batch, everyone was quite nervous (it's been really long we wrote an exam). It's considerably the easiest of the two assessment, but whatever they say, its gonna be easy questions with confusing choices.
If you are not a computer science student. Buy/steal these books and start reading them: FRP/TRP Material download (Free)
FRP Exam!! what to look out for??
  1. Carelessness & Confusion might pull you down the 70 percent pass-mark.
  2. Questions are really easy, that's how it looks but the choices are tricky.
  3. FRP is really simple, but still (roughly) only 25-30% people pass the test.
  4. Read the material, around 500 sample questions.Work them in your C compiler & then there is no looking back.

A Wipro FRP Week

Day 1 Basic C programming (C programming book, it's really good) & all that we learned in engineering 1st semester (all basics)...variable, data types, statements, functions etc. Only that, here we learn troubleshooting & concepts way better than what’s taught in our colleges.

Day 2 Proceeding with all that we learned in C basics. Started the day with pointers & went on to do data structures basics. Everything goes quick but we understand all that they teach coz the faculty is really good, there is no problem in teaching, but when you practically start coding (all that which is taught), a lot of things gets screwed up coz most of us have not been in touch with C programming for more than 4 years (as we had C programming only in the 1st year). At the end of the day, we have an assessment (PET LAB- Program Evaluation Test), which has 2 questions per login;  we are expected to code any one of the questions. Its taken lightly by every trainee coz that doesn't have much of a significance in our training.

Day 3 We did Data structures all day. We started our day with Linked lists & went on till stacks & queues. Lots of graphs, diagrams & explanations. It’s altogether a new thing for people who forgot to revise these concepts prior to their joining. For guys who have already learned Data Structures in engineering, its quite easy to understand, but again, it's kinda impossible to think of coding it. Again, an assessment to finish our day.

Day 4 Data structures all day, the same as yesterday. It gets a little more frustrating but anyhow its interesting to learn in the big amphitheater provided to trainees (CDC2, learning centre 1, Diamond hall).

Day 5 The final day of C programming; this day is not that taxing coz all that which was required to be done was done by yesterday. This day was easy, not much training work. Again, PET assessments to finally end the FRP.

Trivial things you need to know

  1. You get a temporary ID card on the Induction day itself
  2. For the first 3 days, WIPRO buses are free of cost for the new trainees. Don't forget to flash your ID card (if asked).
  3. You will get your login ID & password for employee login portal. All that you do in the company is done through it. (For example: bus pass, bike pass, leaves, calendar, schedule, news etc)
  4. You get periodic tea breaks, lunch breaks. Trust me, it’s really required. You also have 10 programs to submit as part of the PET Lab assessment, all the 10 programs are same for everyone in the batch. So, it's very easy to finish...I don't need to tell you how!!..;-)
  5. FRP is objective type & you need to score 35/50 (70%) to clear FRP .
  6. Don't forget to bring your Let us C book by Yashwant Kanitkar (Buy 'Pointers in C' and 'Let us C' )...I forgot that at home (in Hyderabad) :-(

 PS: Day 6 i.e. today was my FRP, I got a 37/50 in the FRP. Wohoo!! its 74 on 100, I cleared the test...actually, it's not a big deal coz 10-15 guys got 80+.

TV Channels ;-(

ohh these bloody TV channels are so damn getting into my nerves that its content has made me to write an article on my blog। There is absolutely no dilution of the channel content for weeks 2 go, I have been watching TV just coz I have all the time in this world till I get my joining date ;-) but again there is nothing left for me 2 watch as they broadcast the same thing again and again. WHATS THERE 2 CHANGE MUSIC- plz stop darde disco, ankhon mei teri, mauja mauja & move your body baby etc etc, Put some tracks which may date back 2 the 70s but not these again and again. If not the old list, start with some new movie albums and some tracks from strings or junoon which are nowhere 2 be seen. TV shows- start new seasons of the shows like friends, sienfeld or the OC, the desperate housewives or else change the show itself but plz dont torture with the same season again and again. The only best part of the channels- THE EVER CHANGING ADVERTISING SECTOR WHICH COMES UP WITH EXTREMELY CR...

Wipro- Reporting day

Image
Better late than never...a perfect beginning for my blog post. It's time to write about my unexpected event which certainly did come to reality today. I used to search google for a post like this in my final year/post placements/post engineering but I never found anything informative & straight to the point with regards to the reporting day ( not trying to boast, really!! )...So, I've put in a little effort to give you the exact picture of whats what on the reporting day!! Wipro Technologies did is for us, it was our reporting day today (27th April 2009). Our training starts on May 4th 2009 (one more week to go). Let me just rewind & play the whole day. Reporting at Wipro office , (Guindy) Chennai- reached half an hour before and the process started just as we reached i.e. at 8:00am (bang on time) Talent ready to transform Form filling - have everything calculated to enter in your form i.e. all the 10th,12th & semester wise percentages. Also note down your agg...

The candidate you want to hire

If you are hiring, the best fit for you would be someone who can fit right-in without any kind of training. There are a lot of guys like that out in the market, but the challenge is that you need to find them, that explains why monster.com and naukri.com is such a big hit. So, I’ve been doing some interviewing for quite a long time now, and I believe that some of the good ways for you to find a candidate is to: Target potential companies and not candidates – if you find a company that works exactly like you do, then you get candidates from there who fit right in. Target communities – Be a part of the community, contribute to the community, and hire people from the community. Coz a candidate in a community shows that he is passionate about his line of work and is working more to get things done besides his office work. Address pain points – Yes! It is a business strategy and not some hiring strategy ( I think, I got that from my MD’s talk in a leadership meet ). It is very general,...
