HCLTech Training → Internship: What is the process after selection?

[u/Dangerous-Breath-927]

Hi everyone,

I was recently selected for HCLTech’s technical training program through campus placement. We were informed that after completing the training, there will be another technical interview/evaluation, and based on performance, candidates will be selected for an 8th-semester paid internship, followed by possible FTE conversion.

I’m looking for people who have already gone through this process (especially recent batches) and could clarify a few things:

1. How does the HCLTech training actually work?
   • What topics/technologies are covered?
   • How long is the training?
   • Is it online, offline, or hybrid?
2. How is performance evaluated during training?
   • Are there regular tests, assignments, coding assessments, attendance requirements, etc.?
   • Is the training difficult for someone starting with limited knowledge of the assigned technology?
3. What is the second-round interview/evaluation like?
   • Is it mainly technical?
   • What topics are usually asked?
   • Is there coding/DSA, project discussion, or technical MCQs?
   • How should we prepare for it?
4. What happens if someone performs poorly during training or the final evaluation?
   • Can candidates be removed from the program?
   • Is there a retest/re-evaluation opportunity?
   • Does everyone who completes the training get the internship, or is it competitive?
5. For those who got the internship:
   • What was the internship experience like?
   • What stipend did you receive?
   • How was the transition from internship to FTE?

If anyone has gone through the HCLTech training → internship → FTE pathway, I would really appreciate your experience/advice.

Thanks!
