      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at HCLTech (New Delhi) in Jan 2026

      Interview

      The interview process was conducted in the form of a hackathon-based evaluation, designed to test both technical skills and real-world problem-solving ability. Problem Statement: Candidates were given a real-world problem to solve within a fixed time. End-to-End Execution: The task involved understanding the problem, data preprocessing, feature engineering, model selection, training, and evaluation. Hands-on ML Focus: Emphasis was on practical machine learning skills rather than theoretical questions. Code & Approach Review: Interviewers evaluated code quality, logic, choice of algorithms, and overall approach. Explanation & Justification: Candidates were asked to explain their decisions, assumptions, and results. Outcome-Oriented: Performance was judged on correctness, clarity, efficiency, and the ability to deliver a working solution under time constraints. Overall, the hackathon acted as a practical interview, assessing problem-solving, ML fundamentals, and execution skills in a real development scenario.
