The Hexaware interview, in brief

Hexaware is a global IT and business-process services company headquartered in Mumbai, India, that hires freshers as Graduate Engineer Trainees (GET) and Post-Graduate Engineer Trainees (PGET). Its campus and off-campus process is a services-industry funnel: an online assessment (aptitude plus a domain/coding section), followed by a technical interview centred on CS fundamentals — DBMS and SQL, OOP, operating systems, and DSA — plus a walkthrough of your academic or internship project, and finally an HR round. Every stage is an elimination round.

Four sequential, eliminating stages: (1) an online aptitude test, (2) a technical/domain MCQ + coding section, (3) a technical interview on CS fundamentals and your project, and (4) an HR interview. The assessment is typically delivered through a campus platform such as Superset in association with CoCubes/Mettl.

Interview rounds

  • Online aptitude test MCQ, ~60 questions in 60 minutes, no negative marking
    Quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, and verbal ability. No negative marking, so attempt everything. Accuracy under time pressure is what is measured.
  • Technical / domain MCQ + coding Domain MCQ (~30 questions / 30 minutes) + coding challenges
    A computer-fundamentals and pseudocode section (programming logic, output prediction, CS basics), followed by coding problems on data structures and algorithms. PGET candidates typically face a heavier coding load (around three DSA problems).
  • Technical interview Panel, 20–40 minutes
    CS fundamentals — DBMS/SQL (joins, normalization, keys, writing SELECT/DELETE queries, DBMS vs RDBMS), OOP (the four pillars, abstract class vs interface), operating systems, and DSA — plus one or two live coding problems in C/C++/Java/Python and a deep-dive into your project.
  • HR interview One-on-one, conversational
    Motivation (“why Hexaware?”), willingness to work with any technology stack and to relocate, teamwork, strengths and weaknesses, and standard fit questions. Confidence and adaptability matter for a services role.

Coding & DSA topics

Arrays and strings (reverse, palindrome, anagram, second-largest)Number and pattern problems (prime, Fibonacci, factorial, Armstrong)Linked listsStacks and queuesHash maps / frequency countingSorting and searching (binary search)RecursionBasic trees and simple dynamic programmingTime and space complexity analysis

System design

Design is modest and object-oriented rather than distributed. Expect a low-level design (a library management system, an ATM, a simple booking flow) with a clean class model, OOP principles, and a rough database schema — and a clear account of how your own college or internship project was structured (modules, schema, data flow).

Behavioural round

The HR round probes motivation to join Hexaware, comfort with learning any assigned technology stack, relocation flexibility, teamwork, and how you handled a real challenge. Answer with specific situations (STAR) rather than generic claims — confidence, communication, and adaptability are what a services interviewer is reading.

Representative question categories

Patterns in Hexaware’s style — not verbatim proprietary questions.

  • Coding / DSAGiven a string, check whether it is a palindrome and return the first non-repeating character — what is your time complexity?
  • DBMS / SQLWrite a query to fetch the second-highest salary, and explain the difference between DELETE, TRUNCATE, and DROP.
  • OOPExplain the four pillars of OOP with an example of each, and the difference between an abstract class and an interface.
  • Operating systemsWhat is the difference between a process and a thread, and how does a deadlock arise?
  • Project deep-diveWalk me through your final-year project — the architecture, the database schema, and what you personally built.
  • HR / behaviouralWhy Hexaware, and are you comfortable working with any technology and relocating?

How to prepare

Do

  • The aptitude test has no negative marking — attempt every question and manage the clock.
  • Be able to write clean SQL live: a SELECT with a JOIN, a DELETE with a WHERE, and DROP vs DELETE vs TRUNCATE.
  • Master the four OOP pillars with a concrete example each, plus abstract class vs interface and overloading vs overriding.
  • Know your own project cold — the modules, the database schema, the tech stack, and what you personally built.
  • Practise LeetCode easy-to-medium in one language you can write fluently by hand.
  • State the time and space complexity of every solution before you are asked.
  • For HR, prepare an honest “why Hexaware” and be ready to say you are open to any stack and to relocation.

Avoid

  • Memorising OOP definitions but being unable to give a real example or apply them to a scenario.
  • Freezing on a live SQL query — practise writing joins and deletes by hand, not just reading them.
  • Coding straight away without clarifying the problem or naming the edge cases.
  • Not being able to explain your own resume project in technical depth.
  • Ignoring complexity — giving a brute-force answer and never mentioning its cost or a better approach.
  • Treating the HR round as a formality; vague, generic answers read as low interest.

Who can apply

Typically BE/B.Tech/MCA from CSE/IT/ECE/EEE and allied circuit branches, 60% or 6.0 CGPA aggregate across 10th, 12th, and graduation, no active backlogs, and limited education gaps. Criteria vary by drive — always confirm against the official notification.

Hexaware interview FAQ

How many rounds are in the Hexaware fresher process?
Four eliminating stages: an online aptitude test, a technical/domain MCQ + coding section, a technical interview, and an HR interview. Each round is an elimination round.
Is there negative marking in the Hexaware aptitude test?
No. The aptitude test (around 60 questions in 60 minutes) has no negative marking, so it is best to attempt every question.
How hard is the coding round?
The coding is generally LeetCode easy-to-medium — arrays, strings, number/pattern problems, and basic data structures. PGET candidates usually face more DSA problems than GET candidates.
What CS subjects does the technical interview focus on?
DBMS and SQL, OOP, operating systems, and DSA, plus a deep-dive into your own project. DBMS/SQL and OOP come up in almost every interview experience.
What is the eligibility criteria?
Typically BE/B.Tech/MCA from CSE/IT/ECE and allied branches with 60% or 6.0 CGPA across 10th, 12th, and graduation and no active backlogs — but confirm against the official drive notification.
