Hi Friends

I have appeared for the walk-in of HSBC GLT for Pune location. It was conducted in Bangalore
for JAVA and Mainframe Experienced.

I am from Mainfreame stream, so gonna share the experiences to you all.. As I could not find
their pattern anywhere before interview, so think will help to anyone of you, who wants to have
interview in Mainframe stream.

There was three rounds of selection procedure :

1. Written
2. Technical Interview
3. HR round

Written Test
There were total 6 rounds of written test indiviually on Vocabulary test, Anlaytical ability, JCL,
COBOL, DB2, and CICS.

Vocabulary test was of 20 marks. They picked up an article from some newspaper or online
based on home inspection and introduced 20 blanks in the para. For every 20 blanks there will be
four options given and based on the meanning and suitability at the postion, you have to find out
the correct option.

Analytical test was of 20 questions and you have to cover it in 20 mins. I personally felt that the
questions were not very tough but you need to be quick.
5 questions based on SET.
2 questions on Logical reasoning (QUITE easy)
5 on pure MATHS (Easy one)

In COBOL they asked 10 questions, need to be answered in 10 mins. Few questions I remember
like:-

1. What is the default print format

a) DUMP b) hexadecimal c) binary

2. Pick the correct format to read an ESDS file

a) organisation is sequential
b) organisation is indexed
c)organisation is sequntial, record mode is FB

3. How do we cast a variable in COBOL

a)Can't be done
b)simply assign the variable to another variable
˜. In case of file lengthe mismatch between logical and physical file, the erro no is:-
a)39 b)˜6 c)soc7

5. Whcih PIC clause is used for floating point

a)COMP b)COMP1 c)COMP2 d)COMP3

In JCL again there were 10 questions in 10 mins, need to be quick

1. What is allowed to check in condition parameter

a)RC b)CC c)ABNEDCC d)all of the options

2. What is true about JCL

a)It is not case sensitive
b)The job name should start from or before column 12
c)The job name is not required
d)all

DB2 was quite easy section but you need to be very very quick.. Questions was mostly on select
statement.

1. Two table was given and you had to have a select statement which should satisfy the given
condition.. You need to check relation between both the tables.
˜-5 questions was on same.

2. What are the diff steps for CURSOr

a) Declare, Open, Fetch, Close
b) Define, open, fetch,close
c) open, fetch,close

3. 922 indicates
a)DB2resource not available
b)record lenght mismatch
c)object not found

CICS again was of 10 marks, in 10 mins.. All basic questions, can't remember much but few
questions were like;;;-

1. MAPSET means:
a)Group of defined maps
b)Group of map fileds
c)group of maps

2. One questions on psuedo conversation

3. One questions on TDQ

˜. Can one transcation invoke multiple task
a)can not invoke
b)invoke
c)Transaction Id can not invoke TASK itself

5. PPT is:-
a)contains transcation Id
b)contains mapset name and program name

Do not forget each round has sectional cut off, so you have to pass each section.. Finally, I got
through written.

Next comes Technical Round....

HR was cool, first he asked me to intorduce myself in brief, basically he was intersted to know
my work profile, I mean what extent I have worked on.
then he shot questions indiviually from all sections.

in DB2 a long time discussion on bind and package, confused me a lot.. so be thorough..
then he asked me about error -811 and how will I resolve it. Expalined the cursor concept
He asked about -818 and to expalin some more time related errors. Explained -180 and -181

Now he came on COBOL

asked me to explain all available PIC level
diff betwen COMP1 and COMP2
where do we define file structure and where do we declare it
tell me some of the control blocks and explain

diff betwen dynamic call and static calll

JCL
Don't remember much

CICS
tell me some cotrol tables
what is FCT and DCT
diff between TDQ and TSQ
which one is faster among TDQ and TSQ
relation between TDQ and DCT

Finally he was done and after 10 mins I got the result that I was selected for HR round

HR Round was just a formality to discuss the salary.. And finally I became part of HSBC GLT.

Hope this information will be worth for some of you...

All the best... CHEERS!!!!

Hi Friends

I went to the interview which was an off campus one. If im not wrong they were around 2k
students who gave the Interview out of which 30 got selected.

This is how the whole selection procedure was

1) Aptitude+Technical written test
2) Technical Interview
3) H.R Interview

The Aptitude comprised of Verbal reasoning, Quants, Analytical Reasoning. The technical had
C&C++ and DBMS.

In Verbal they had Fill in the blanks, Rcs and Give the closest meaning. Verbal was quite easy
though the reading passages were a bit tuff but still not that hard either.

For Quants a bit of brushing of basics is really going to help, they asked questions like two trains
moving in each direction etc. The analytical reasoning was the easiest of all. In Technical they
concentrated more on the programs of C&C++ like a program and then depending on that the
errors which can pop up while execution. Out of 2000 students 250 cleared the Aptitude.

Then came the technical interview, dis is how it went

1)Tell me something about Yourself? Told
2)What is the difference between C nd C++? told
3)Why is C++ called the OOPS Language?
Oops.. Dont Know..told about encapsulation, abstratction etc...she looked quite satisfied.
and then came the programs...
˜)given a set of 10 numbers write a program which is going to choose numbers which only end
with 3(not 6,9) and then add them.then Select numbers which start wid 9 and add then after that
subtract the sum of both...Took a bit of time but wrote. She was happy.
5)Given a set of numbers wap so as to pick a number which is a perfect square.
6)Wap for a palyndrome (Eg DAD)
7)WAP to take a number from the user (any digits) seperate the digits and add the squares of the
digits.
8)WAP on Bubble sort using Pointes.
well those were the programs though they were easy it took a bit of pain to re call the logic of
each nd every program.
She didnt aske a thing on DBMS.
After around ˜ hrs the technical results were declared and I got through then came HR interview,
nd dis is how that went
HR-Sorry for making you wait this long (The time was 8 30 pm-The actual time was 9 AM of
day 2)
Ray- No probs sir.
HR-ok, tell me something about ur profile
Ray-Said
HR-OK Good.. Now what are your career Goals and how are you planning to achieve them
Ray-Said
HR-Stress a bit more on your skills
Ray-Comm skills, Team player and PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY
HR-what do u mean by problem solving ability(PSA)?
Ray-Said
HR-Give one example where in ur PSA was utilised
Ray-made one and said..lol
HR-why HSBC??
Ray-Said
HR-What you know abt HSBC??
Ray-HSBC-Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Co-operation.
It has its branches in 82 countries.
It work in various domains like Data warehousing,Mainframes etc.
It is an Industry in Itself
HR-You got any questions for me??
Ray-Yep..asked one.
HR-OKay..Ray Thankyou.
Ray-My pleasure...

This is how it went and after 2 hrs the result was declared and my name was actually there..and I
was so happy... The pay package which dey offered was hmmm... well..am not suppose to say
that.

My advice to all is They are concentrating more on your comm skills, so be sure that in both ur
HR nd TEch interview ur FLUENT dont stammer aruond and make sure what ur talking makes
sense because specially in HR there was lot of Cross questioning.

HSBC doesnt have any BOND process so with the pay package and the scope which it has it
definelty one of the best companies around to work for.

Hi Friends

I m ROHAN and I apeared for the HSBC GLTi aptitude on 26th Oct. 2007. The criteria was 60%
agg. in 10th, 12th and till ur current BE sem. It was the easiest aptitude I ever took in my life !
believe me guys i didnt prepare a single topic for aptitude but i found it damn easy and i cleared
it.

There were four sections,

1.English (The easiest section-fill in the blanks of prepositions, readin compre. was also too
easy)
2.Analytical reasoning.
3.Verbal reasoning.
˜.Technical aptitude.(C, C++, Data Structure and analysis of algorithms).

Total 90 Questiones were there almost 1Hr 30 mins time. No sectional cut off. No negative
marking for each section they used to give 20-30 mins (varied depending on sections). aptitude
was on paper. but then too they will give 20 mins only for every section coz after every 20 mins
they used to take the previous sections Q paper back. its easy but to be on the better side u should
study for technical atleast. i cleared apti and went for technical intrview.

My Interviewer was a very cool guy, he was wearing jeans and T-shirt Long hair Like MS dhoni.
me: May i come in sir.(u should always ask !)
sir: Yes please.
he: told me to sit
me: Good afternoon sir.
sir: Good afternoon.
he went through my resume in few seconds and...

sir: Tell me about urself ROHAN.

me: Answered this qstn for almost 5-7 mins. spoke many many things about me ! This is the
questn where u can impress any of the interviewer in the world. Just be urself. DOnt show him
that u r nervous.
rather make that interview a discussion sort of thing.
sir: Whats ur BE project.
me: explained everything about my project.
sir: asked me qstns on C, C++(very simple).
(never mention any programming language by urself they will ask u deep qstns one of my frnd
said "I know Java" and he was screwed in Java and got rejected!)
me: answered every qstn.

sir: So ROHAN ur project is in Database right? (And he started asking qstns from SQL, DBMS.)
me: answered every qstns with confidence.
(by luck he asked everything which I was knowing so nowhere I went wrong.)
sir: ok ROHAN thats it. Do u have any qstns?
me: asked three qstns.
sir: answered my qstns.
me: complemented his style.
sir: Thank u ROHAN.
me: thank u sir. Nice talking wid u sir.
few mins later i was told that i m selected for the next HR round !!!!
I filled a form given by them and at 5 pm i went for the HR interview.

My HR was also very good. The interviwer was a very cool person again. he was chewing
chewing gum when he was interviewing me !!!

Tell me about urself? asked me qstns on my resume what about higher studies any plans? where
do u find urself after 3-˜ yrs all typical HR qstns !!!!!! it was again a smooth interview for me
!!!! at 6.30 they gave a presentation and the names of the selected candidates were announced
!!!! and my name was also there in the list !!!!!!!!!

OUT OF 100-110 students 6˜ cleared aptitude test; out of 6˜ students 26 cleared TI and finally
out of 26 students 17-18 (i dont remember this figure exactly) were selected. I thank all my
friends who contributed their papers which helped me a lot and hope my experience will also
help u a lot !!!!

printf("%d", c);
output ? I answered..

8.
char c;
c=32;
printf("%c", c);
output ? I answered..

9. outer join .. types and an example.

The interview went swift all the way... Prepare well for DBMS they are mainy interested in it.

Hi Friends

As not many papers of HSBC GLTI is there on dis site.....so may be my experience can be a gud
help for u guys...

The recruitment happened in our clg campus on 5th April 2007....more than 200 students of two
clg appeared.... criteria is the same as other companies 60+ % in both 10th 12th and
eng(strictly)...

Written xam of HSBC is probably the easiest in comparison of other firms.....

the test consists ˜ sections:-
1. English: xtremely easy for jst an avg student
a) prepositions-
b) fill in the blanks with similar meaning-
c) fill in the blank using article
d) two RC passages-friends u wont get such an easy passage in any other exam.so dont neglect it
u can solve it easily(believe me)

2. Analytical reasoning: is i will say was a mixed bag for me, but u can easily solve reqired no.
of questions
a) a puzzle with 5 related questions....
b) other puzzle which was a bit confusin (so i was in real difficulty solvin both puzzles)
c) data sufficiency (easy as usual)
d) a decimal to binary conversion, u shud be aquainted with this type of question (asked in many
other companies paper)

3) Verbal reasoning:-
a)conditions were given like
mark 1 if 1st and 2nd is the same
mark 2 if 1st and 3rd is the same
mark 3 if 2nd and 3rd is same
mark ˜ if none of these

sample question
123˜ 1237 123˜
answer:- 2
b) sorry cant remember but was the easiest section

˜) Techinical based on C and DS

dis is a bit tough for non-it guys bt even for IT/CS the code snippets r real mind teaser. bt do all
sorting methods in DS
they ask questions from sorting......so u can easily do it and i guess 50% is the cutoff as i solved
12 out of 20 and was sure only in 10q.

So friends the time for written exam is 1hr ˜0 min which is hell lot of time.
out of 230, 120 students cleared written den comes technical round as they say but they can also
ask u complete hr questions:-

Tech interview:-
hr-tell abt urself?
me:-told blah blah, den i said i m man with values (was interrupted)
hr- he asked me wat do i mean by values?
me-told(hr seemed impressed........)
hr-tell me a situation when u found urself in trouble and how u came out of it?
me:-told with some real life example....(hr said gooooooood)
hr-do u feel u need to improve urself?
me-told yes and justified.
hr-okay tell me about ur hobbies??????
me-told
hr-okay wat r ur favourite subjects?
me-C/C++,DS,SQL,DBMS,OS
hr-tell me about foreign key and primary key?
me-told
hr-gave me two table to find out primary and foreign key?
me-solved(again he told good)
hr-tell me about normalization?
me-told.
hr-can we say a table in 3nf is completely normalized?
me-told no, as bcnf came into existence after 3nf just to remove trivial fd in a table already in
3nf.....
hr-can a primary key has duplicate values?
me-told no (distinct constraint)
hr-wat abt foreign key???????
me-dis was the first answer which i told wrong (do concentrate on these small things)
hr-okay Pranay do u have any questions?
me-i asked three questions?
he-u can wait outside?
me-handshaked and told it was nice talking to him....

Then after five minutes i was told to leave.......AND FRIENDS I WAS NOT SELECTED.....
i was never nervous in entire interview and told all answers confidently even he complimented
abt my tech knowledge
apart from last q where i fumbled (as dat question was asked later).....bt i did a blunder as i told
wrong name of the bank (told hdbc instead of hsbc and when he told me i again told it as hdfc)
the first time it was slip of tongue but once the tension build up i lost my mind(hehe..it first ever
interview i faced)...bt dear friend ur one wrong answer can change ur whole impression so don
do dis stupidity............

then it's the hr round:-

same boring hr questions but do prepare well.....and be fluent in ur comm skill

one thing is that it's 99% luck to get a job......if once day is urs u can make it without knowing
anything.....(hehe don rely on dis completely) finaly 29 was selected from my clg and 9 from the
odr one.....

So do prepare well and wish for me dat i also get placed some where....
PRANAY

Hi Friends

I m DEEPAK and i want to give u the general procedure and the type of paper that is asked by
H.S.B.C. GLTi.

Around 200 students sit for the written test which was conducted at around 10 am in the
morning. The eligibility criteria for the student was 60% in 10th, 12th and B.E. The company
came mainly for the students belonging to C.S, I.T and electronics students.

Regarding the written test- the paper was damn easy and if a student has good knowledge of
English and maths he can easily qualify the wriiten. The test consisted of ˜-sections
1. GENERAL ENGLISH (prepositions, fill in the blanks etc) 20 ques in 20 min
2. REASONING (R.S.Agarwal verbal nd non verbal reasoning will b sufficient.) 30 ques in 3o
mins
3. APTITUDE (R.S. Agarwal quantitative apti. will do it.)20 oues in 20 mins
˜. DATA STRUCTURE, C, C++ (This is total technical nd a person should have good
knowledge for this). 20 ques in 30 min

There was no negative marking, no upper cutoff and no lower cutoff. the major factor was time
management.

From 200 students 83 cleared the written and i was 1 of them.

Then comes the Technical Interview round. here the person should remain very cool,
nervousness can kill u as it was in my case.

They check ur body lang. ur confidence level and more important if they change lang other then
english then plz.. dont answer in that lang. u carry ur answers in English only.

The persons who clears the T.I round was given a form to fill up the form for H.R interview.
remember 1 thing that t.i and h.r round can go simultaneously so u hav to b well prepared for that
mentally.

From 83 students 55 reached the hr round and finaly 39 were selected. I was not selected as i
become nervous and gave 1 or 2 wrong answers, so i would request all those who will appear for
interview that never become nervous remain cool and keep a smiling face and b confident with
ur answers.
