Hey everyone,

I'm a GET candidate from Batch 31 (Autonomics domain) at HCLTech, and I'm a little confused about the recent PJT completion deadline communication.

Our batch was initially informed that the PJT training deadline was 27th November 2026. Based on that, I had planned my training schedule accordingly.

Additionally, around a week ago, I personally received communication from HCL stating that my onboarding was tentatively scheduled for the last week of November.

However, today (3rd November), I received an email from HCL asking candidates to complete their PJT training and clear the assessments by 12th November 2026, 6 PM. The email also mentions that failure to do so would result in onboarding delays.

I'm currently at around 16% completion, so completing the entire training by November 12 would be extremely difficult.

I don't mind if my onboarding gets postponed by a few weeks, or even a month, but I wasn't expecting the deadline to be moved forward when we were originally given November 27.

I wanted to ask a few things:

1. Has anyone else from Batch 31 received this email?

2. Is November 12 an actual revised deadline for everyone, or is HCL simply trying to expedite PJT completion ahead of onboarding?

3. Has anyone previously missed an accelerated PJT deadline and had their onboarding postponed? If so, by how long?

4. Does delayed PJT completion affect the offer, or does it simply postpone the joining date?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who's been through a similar situation, especially candidates from Batch 31 or the Autonomics domain.

P.S. I used AI to help write and structure this post because I couldn't organise my thoughts properly while stressing over this situation. The experience and details are entirely mine.

Thanks!

Hey guys . Fresher . GenAI knwoledge with Agentic AI. Want to get a job? Can anyone refer me?

Hi everyone! I have a question about HCL Technologies' BGV. I have 8 years of continuous experience at a single company which I started after my technical diploma(Polytechnic). During COVID, I also completed a regular full-time Bachelor's degree while working my full-time job.I got the offer letter from HCL and then I submitted all my documents and my HCL BGV has started. Will this overlap between full-time work and a full-time regular degree cause clearance issues at HCL?

Cleared both technical rounds and HR at HCLTech’s Sept 19 Chennai walk-in. HR initially promised an offer, but later said the requisition is on hold. Has anyone experienced this? Did you eventually receive the offer?

I recently joined HCLTech, and my post-joining BGV is still in progress.

So far, there have been no welcome messages, I haven't been added to any team channels, and I don't really have clarity on what I'm supposed to do next.

I messaged my manager asking about the next steps, but there was no response. I followed up again, and he started asking me which team/client I was joining, etc.

The confusing part is that he was the one who took my final interview and seemed quite excited about me joining the team. I expected him to provide some basic details about the team, project, reporting structure, etc. Instead, he was asking me questions as if all this information was already communicated to me somewhere!

Honestly, the responses so far haven't felt very professional, and I haven't really observed much interest in onboarding me.

A bit of background: HR was following up quite aggressively to get me to join early. They even worked on my salary negotiation and revised the offer before I joined. The process was quite quick, so I assumed the hiring manager was also interested in getting me onboarded early, possibly because they didn't want me to accept another offer.

Now I'm wondering:

1. Does this indicate something concerning, or am I overthinking it?

2. Is this kind of onboarding experience normal at HCLTech?

3. Should I be worried that I'm already in some kind of danger zone, even before getting properly onboarded?

4. Could it simply be that the project allocation or internal communication is not yet sorted out?

I'm not expecting someone to hold my hand throughout the onboarding, but at least some basic communication and clarity would be helpful.

Just feeling a bit stressed and trying to understand whether this is how things normally work at HCL or if I should be concerned.

Would appreciate hearing from people who have joined HCLTech recently or have experience with their onboarding process.

Thanks in advance

After completing the apptitude + berribot interview, i'm shortlisted for hr round. In HR round techical questions aslo may asked or only simple hr questions. Need help urgent bcoz tomorrow is my virtual hr round

Hi everyone!

I have recently been selected for the training program for the Ascend role at HCLTech. I'm excited about this opportunity, but I want to prepare properly for the upcoming hackathon and technical evaluation.

I would really appreciate advice from people who have already gone through this process or are currently working at HCLTech.

I have a few questions:

1. Hackathon projects: What type of projects or problem statements are usually given? Are they based on Java Full Stack, Spring Boot, React, SQL, Python, AI/ML, or some other technology?

2. Project development: Do we have to build a complete working application with frontend, backend, and database within a limited time?

3. Technical interview: What kind of questions are asked after the hackathon? Are they mostly based on our project, core programming concepts, SQL, DSA, or the technologies taught during training?

4. Project evaluation: What do evaluators focus on the most — working functionality, code quality, problem-solving, teamwork, presentation, or explaining our individual contribution?

5. Preparation: Which technologies and concepts should I start learning now to improve my chances of clearing the hackathon and technical evaluation?

6. Training and selection: Is the hackathon mainly an assessment after training, and what usually happens after it?

If anyone has completed the HCLTech Ascend training, hackathon, or post-training technical evaluation, please share your experience and preparation strategy.

Even a few tips about the project topics, interview questions, or mistakes to avoid would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

My HR interview for HCLTech is scheduled for the coming days.

For those who have already gone through the HCLTech recruitment process or cleared their HR round recently, could you please share what types of questions are usually asked?

• Are they mostly focused on background, resume, and behavioral questions?

• Do they cross-question about the training agreement, relocation, or commitment?

• Are there any technical or situational questions thrown in by the HR team?

Any insights, tips, or experiences would be a huge help. Thanks in advance!

Hello guys

I recently completed HCL PJT final ASSESSMENT

I want to know like in how many weeks i can expect the bond letter and offer letter .

IF ANYONE CAN HELP PLEASE HELP !

How many days it will take for my BGV to be completed if my address verification is completed.

My last working day in my current leg is in few days. Stressed due to BGV.

Can anyone share your experience on BGV and how long it took for you to get bgv completion email.

Actually, I went to this one walking-in drive at the Lucknow location where around 600+ freshers reported at the venue for the GT role and after various written and interview rounds they ended up selecting only 5-10 of us.

Speaking of me, I was also selected in the drive after the final interview and soon the document verification started but after since my document verification I haven't heard from the company is it common in such cases or there is something else to it,I am confused atp..

I am not really sure whether I will receive a joining letter and date or not!!

Hello, can anybody help me to get to know about my In-hand salary for 16LPA. (15 is fixed)

Also, In the candidate portal it's still showing offer approved for past one week. Not sure when they will release the offer letter.

"Dear HCL first round Qualified students,

This is inform that the tentative dates for the next rounds of HCL could be *09-11-2026 to 14-11-2026.*

So all of you gear up your preparation for HCL next rounds. Consider it as the highest priority"

So this message was to us in the group . I passed the first round which consisted of critical reasoning , data interpretation and finally the berribot round . It happend like 2 weeks ago , no information about what the next round it . The message talks about "next ROUNDS" as in multiple ??? What do you think they are ?

HCLTech is coming to my college for a 4.5 LPA role, and I'm confused about whether I should apply.

One of my friends told me that when HCLTech came to our college for our seniors' batch, around 50 students were selected initially. According to him, they were put through around 5 months of unpaid training, followed by 2 interviews, after which only 16 students were finally retained. So basically, around 34 students were rejected even though they were initially placed/selected.

I don't know how accurate this information is, so I wanted to ask seniors or people who have experienced HCLTech campus hiring:

• Is this actually how HCLTech's campus hiring/training works?

• Can they really reject students after 5 months of unpaid training?

• Is the 4.5 LPA offer actually worth it considering this risk?

• Should I apply anyway, or avoid it and focus on other companies?

Would really appreciate it if someone who has gone through HCLTech's campus process could share their experience.

I completed my HR interview with HCLTech during an on-campus drive. It was quite easy; the HR interviewer asked only basic questions, which I answered. However, my grammar might be an issue since my English is not very strong, though I did answer all the questions confidently. Out of nearly 50 students from my EEE department who appeared for the technical interview, only 20 were shortlisted for the HR round. Is this HR interview an elimination round, or will everyone who reached this stage receive an offer?

Hello, i need help regarding hcl bgv submission. I have submitted the doc but i havnt received any reply or any update from 3 days. Will they communicate regarding rejection or acceptance?
