For the aptitude section, focus on quantitative aptitude (percentages, ratio, time and work), logical reasoning (coding-decoding, series, arrangements), and verbal ability (reading comprehension, error identification, sentence improvement). For the domain section, study pseudocode tracing (especially bitwise operations) and computer fundamentals (OS, DBMS, networking, OOP). PGET candidates should additionally prepare for coding problems on arrays, strings, loops, and recursion.

How many rounds are there in the Hexaware hiring process?

For the GET profile, there are typically 4 rounds: Online Aptitude + Domain Test, Communication Assessment, Technical Interview, and HR Interview. For the PGET profile, there are 5-6 rounds with the addition of a Coding Test and potentially a Group Discussion. All rounds are eliminatory.

Is there negative marking in the Hexaware exam?

No, there is no negative marking in the Hexaware aptitude test, domain test, or coding test. However, time management is critical as the aptitude section requires solving 60 questions in 60 minutes and the domain section requires 30 questions in 30 minutes.

Is the coding round mandatory?

The coding round is mandatory only for PGET candidates. GET candidates do not take a coding test. However, if GET candidates perform well across all rounds, they may still be evaluated for PGET eligibility. Students who do not clear the coding round may be offered the GET role instead.

What is the total duration of the Hexaware exam?

The online aptitude and domain test combined takes 90 minutes (60 minutes for aptitude + 30 minutes for domain). The coding test for PGET adds 40-90 minutes. The communication assessment takes 20-30 minutes. Total online assessment duration is approximately 90 minutes for GET and 150-210 minutes for PGET.

What is the section-wise distribution of the Hexaware aptitude test?

The aptitude test consists of 60 questions across 3 sections: Quantitative Aptitude (20 questions), Logical Reasoning (20 questions), and Verbal Ability (20 questions). All sections share a total time of 60 minutes. The domain test adds 30 questions (15 Pseudocode + 15 Computer Fundamentals) in 30 minutes.

What is the difference between GET and PGET at Hexaware?

GET (Graduate Engineer Trainee) is the standard entry-level profile with a salary of approximately ₹3.5-4.0 LPA. PGET (Premier Graduate Engineer Trainee) is a higher-tier profile with an additional coding round and a salary of approximately ₹4.5-6.0 LPA. PGET candidates undergo more rigorous assessment including a coding test and potentially a Group Discussion.

What platform is used for the Hexaware assessment?

The Hexaware assessment is conducted on the Superset platform in association with CoCubes or Mettl. The aptitude and domain tests are on the Superset/CoCubes platform. The communication assessment (SpeechX) is conducted on the Mettl platform. Coding tests are typically on CoCubes or HackerRank.

Where can I find practice materials for the Hexaware exam?

For aptitude practice, use PrepInsta, Talent Battle, and IndiaBix for quantitative, logical, and verbal questions. For pseudocode, practice tracing questions with bitwise operations from PrepInsta and GeeksforGeeks. For the coding round, practice basic DSA problems on LeetCode (Easy-Medium), HackerRank, and CodeSignal focusing on arrays, strings, and recursion.
