Simple with 3 rounds...2 technical and 1 with the hiring manager. The tech rounds include problem solving questions. The soft skills were not much emphasized. Just make sure you have strong grip on the fundamentals.

I applied online. I interviewed at HCL Technologies (London, England)
Interview
Interviewed by a non-UK based person. They had no clue how to even interview. Just asked random very technical question expecting "definition answers". I don't even know what was the point of interview and their metric for evaluation
I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HCL Technologies in Apr 2026
Interview
It was an on-campus process .
We had to make a team of 3-4 people.
In the hackathon, we were given 3 problem statements and we had to select one of them and built a project around it.
The panel will come in between to ask you questions.
There were 3 reviews including the final review in which you need to show your full working end'to-end project.
The interview process consisted of an online coding round followed by a technical interview. The technical round included questions on data structures, OOP concepts, and basic problem solving. There was also an HR discussion about my background and career goals. Overall, the process was structured and moderately challenging.
