I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at HCLTech in Aug 2012
Interview
HCL ISD is mainly involved with networking, storage ,database, security, UNIX etc. Good communication skills is a must. First round is an aptitude test followed by a grammar test. Third round is a spoken communication test where your fluency and vocabulary is checked. Next is the technical round where you are required to know all the basic stuff and you must have a fair knowledge of the subjects no programming questions are asked. Lastly is the HR round. Be sure to speak as fluently as possible in all the rounds.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
From my experience the interviewer unexpectedly asked a question from a subject which was not in the curriculum that i studied, but one must be aware of the recent updates in technology.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at HCLTech (Chennai) in Sep 2012
Interview
Four rounds after an initial AMCAT evaluation. The first round was a simple grammar test and I got all 25 questions correct.
The next one was a communication session where they analysed if our communication skills were good.
The third round was a Technical Interview and I was asked to write a code, about databases and operating systems concepts including file systems. This was totally unexpected because I was prepared for networking questions considering that this is a networking oriented division of HCL.

Question 1
Was asked to compare between NTFS, FAT and FAT32 file systems. This question made me crash out of the process.
