Wipro Placement Papers 2026: 500+ Questions [With Answers]

What candidates report about the Wipro process. Wipro's fresher hiring through the Elite NLTH track has stayed measured, and candidates report the Turbo band drives as selective, often favouring off-campus profiles with a strong aggregate. A recurring theme in candidate discussion is the Essay Writing round: structure and grammar carry the most weight, and topic-relevance matters more than candidates expect. Several report that clever but off-topic essays still clear the aptitude cutoff but get routed to a slower review pool. The practical advice candidates repeat is to stick to a clean 5-paragraph structure and stay strictly on-topic. These are candidate-reported patterns, not official Wipro figures; confirm the current process on the official Wipro careers page.

About the author

This guide is curated by Aditya Sharma, the founder of PapersAdda. Question patterns, salary bands, and cutoffs reflect publicly shared candidate discussion on r/developersIndia and PrepInsta forums. Salary bands and cutoffs are candidate-reported estimates, not official Wipro disclosures, so confirm them on the official Wipro careers page. The NLTH and Turbo details described here are drawn from candidate reports, not from Wipro.

Truth check — what actually matters for Wipro 2026

Wipro Elite NLTH is the standard fresher gate, and the test has been functionally unchanged for two cycles, which is good news, because pattern stability rewards focused prep. Turbo (the higher band) is a separate harder filter and not relevant to most candidates here.

The 2026 snapshot: ~300 active roles tracked, which is the lower end among service-IT majors. Wipro has been visibly conservative on fresher additions in 2026 compared with 2024-2025 cycles. That changes the prep math: fewer slots means the cutoff floats higher, particularly on the written round.

What standard guides get wrong: the aptitude section is solvable in less time than allocated if you've drilled DI and quantitative shortcut-tables. The written communication section ("Essay Writing") is where candidates lose marks they don't realize they lost, because the auto-scoring weights structure and grammar, not novelty. Five-paragraph essay format with explicit thesis-3-body-conclusion scoring sits well above stylistically-clever submissions.

For Turbo, the technical interview is closer to an entry-level developer interview than a campus formality, they ask data-structure operations on the whiteboard and expect O(n) reasoning out loud, not just code.

The HR round at Wipro is heavy on the "Why Wipro" question, and the candidates who score well lead with the company's specific recent moves (Lab45, FullStride Cloud) rather than generic loyalty statements.

If you have 2 weeks for Wipro Elite/Turbo only: 7 days of aptitude format drill, 3 days of essay-writing structured practice, 2 days of pseudo-code patterns, 2 days of basic-DSA review (only for Turbo).

Aptitude Questions (15 Questions with Solutions)

Question 1: Percentage Problem

The price of rice increases by 20%. By what percentage should a family reduce consumption so that expenditure remains the same?

Solution: Let original price = ₹100, Consumption = 100 units
Original Expenditure = ₹100 × 100 = ₹10,000
New Price = ₹100 × 1.20 = ₹120
New Expenditure should be ₹10,000
New Consumption = ₹10,000 / ₹120 = 83.33 units

Reduction = 100 - 83.33 = 16.67 units

Percentage Reduction = (16.67/100) × 100 = 16.67%

Shortcut Formula:
Reduction % = [R/(100+R)] × 100 = [20/120] × 100 = 16.67%

---

Question 2: Time and Work

A can complete a work in 12 days, B in 15 days. They work together for 5 days, then A leaves. How many more days will B take to complete the remaining work?

Solution: A's 1 day work = 1/12
B's 1 day work = 1/15
(A+B)'s 1 day work = 1/12 + 1/15 = 5/60 + 4/60 = 9/60 = 3/20

Work done in 5 days = 5 × (3/20) = 15/20 = 3/4
Remaining work = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4

B will complete 1/4 work in: (1/4) × 15 = 3.75 days

---

Question 3: Profit and Loss

A shopkeeper marks his goods 40% above the cost price and allows a discount of 15%. What is his gain percentage?

Solution: Let Cost Price (CP) = ₹100
Marked Price (MP) = ₹100 + 40% = ₹140
Selling Price (SP) after 15% discount = ₹140 × 0.85 = ₹119

Profit = ₹119 - ₹100 = ₹19

Profit % = (19/100) × 100 = 19%

Shortcut Formula:
Profit % = [(100 + Markup)(100 - Discount)/100] - 100
= [(140)(85)/100] - 100 = 119 - 100 = 19%

---

Question 4: Ratio and Proportion

The ratio of present ages of A and B is 4:5. After 8 years, the ratio becomes 6:7. Find the present age of A.

Solution: Let present ages be 4x and 5x
After 8 years: (4x + 8)/(5x + 8) = 6/7

Cross multiply:
7(4x + 8) = 6(5x + 8)
28x + 56 = 30x + 48
56 - 48 = 30x - 28x
8 = 2x
x = 4

Present age of A = 4x = 4 × 4 = 16 years

---

Question 5: Average Speed

A man travels from A to B at 40 km/hr and returns at 60 km/hr. Find the average speed for the entire journey.

Solution: Formula: Average speed = 2ab/(a+b) when distances are equal
= (2 × 40 × 60)/(40 + 60)
= 4800/100
= 48 km/hr

---

Question 6: Simple Interest

A sum of money doubles itself in 8 years at simple interest. In how many years will it triple itself?

Solution: If sum doubles in 8 years, it means interest = principal in 8 years
Rate = (100 × SI)/(P × T) = (100 × P)/(P × 8) = 12.5%

To triple, interest needed = 2P
Time = (100 × 2P)/(P × 12.5) = 200/12.5 = 16 years

Shortcut: If money doubles in 8 years, it triples in 16 years, quadruples in 24 years (arithmetic progression)

---

Question 7: Compound Interest

The difference between compound interest and simple interest on ₹8000 for 2 years at 5% per annum is:

Solution: Shortcut Formula: Difference = P × (R/100)²
= 8000 × (5/100)²
= 8000 × 0.0025
= ₹20

---

Question 8: Partnership

A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3:2. If 5% of the total profit goes to charity and A's share is ₹855, what is the total profit?

Solution: Let total profit = ₹P
Amount for distribution = 95% of P = 0.95P
A's share = (3/5) × 0.95P = 855
0.57P = 855
P = 855/0.57 = ₹1500

---

Question 9: Pipes and Cisterns

Pipe A can fill a tank in 6 hours, Pipe B in 8 hours. If both pipes are opened together, how long will it take to fill the tank?

Solution: A's 1 hour work = 1/6
B's 1 hour work = 1/8
(A+B)'s 1 hour work = 1/6 + 1/8 = 4/24 + 3/24 = 7/24

Time to fill = 24/7 hours = 3 hours 26 minutes (approx)

---

Question 10: Number Series

Find the missing number: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?, 56

Solution: Pattern:
2 = 1 × 2
6 = 2 × 3
12 = 3 × 4
20 = 4 × 5
30 = 5 × 6
? = 6 × 7 = 42
56 = 7 × 8

---

Question 11: Time and Distance

A train 150m long passes a pole in 15 seconds. Find the speed of the train in km/hr.

Solution: Speed = Distance/Time = 150/15 = 10 m/s
Convert to km/hr: 10 × (18/5) = 36 km/hr

---

Question 12: Mixtures and Alligation

A mixture contains milk and water in the ratio 5:2. If 14 liters of water is added, the ratio becomes 5:4. Find the quantity of milk in the mixture.

Solution: Let milk = 5x, water = 2x
After adding 14L water: (5x)/(2x + 14) = 5/4
20x = 10x + 70
10x = 70
x = 7

Milk = 5 × 7 = 35 liters

---

Question 13: Permutations

In how many ways can 5 people be seated around a circular table?

Solution: Circular permutation formula = (n-1)!
= (5-1)! = 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24 ways

---

Question 14: Probability

Two dice are thrown simultaneously. Find the probability of getting a sum of 9.

Solution: Total outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36
Favorable outcomes for sum 9: (3,6), (4,5), (5,4), (6,3) = 4

Probability = 4/36 = 1/9

---

Question 15: Boats and Streams

A boat goes 12 km downstream in 48 minutes and 10 km upstream in 1 hour. Find the speed of the boat in still water.

Solution: Downstream speed = 12/(48/60) = 12 × 60/48 = 15 km/hr
Upstream speed = 10/1 = 10 km/hr

Speed in still water = (Downstream + Upstream)/2
= (15 + 10)/2 = 12.5 km/hr

Technical/CS Questions (10 Questions with Solutions)

Question 1: C Programming

What is the output of the following code?

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    int a = 5;
    printf("%d", ++a + a++);
    return 0;
}

Solution:

• ++a (pre-increment): a becomes 6, returns 6
• a++ (post-increment): returns 6, then a becomes 7
• Sum = 6 + 6 = 12

---

Question 2: Data Structures

What is the time complexity of searching an element in a balanced Binary Search Tree?

Solution: In a balanced BST with n nodes, the height is O(log n). Searching requires traversing from root to leaf in the worst case.

---

Question 3: Operating Systems

Which scheduling algorithm can cause starvation?

Solution: Priority scheduling can cause starvation (indefinite blocking) because low-priority processes may never get CPU time if high-priority processes keep arriving.

---

Question 4: Database Management

Which normal form eliminates transitive dependencies?

Solution: Third Normal Form (3NF) eliminates transitive dependencies. A relation is in 3NF if it is in 2NF and no non-prime attribute is transitively dependent on the primary key.

---

Question 5: Computer Networks

What is the default port number for HTTP?

Solution: HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) uses port 80 by default. HTTPS uses port 443.

---

Question 6: Object-Oriented Programming

Which OOP concept allows a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method already defined in its superclass?

---

Question 7: SQL

Which SQL clause is used to filter grouped results?

Solution: The HAVING clause is used to filter grouped results after the GROUP BY operation. WHERE filters rows before grouping, while HAVING filters groups after aggregation.

---

Question 8: Algorithms

Which sorting algorithm has the best average-case time complexity?

Solution: QuickSort, MergeSort, and HeapSort all have O(n log n) average-case time complexity. Among simple sorting algorithms, Insertion Sort performs well on nearly sorted data with O(n) best case.

---

Question 9: Computer Architecture

What does LRU stand for in cache replacement policies?

Solution: LRU stands for "Least Recently Used." It is a cache replacement policy that removes the least recently accessed item when the cache is full and a new item needs to be added.

---

Question 10: Java Programming

Which keyword is used to prevent a method from being overridden in Java?

Solution: The final keyword prevents method overriding. When a method is declared as final in a parent class, subclasses cannot override it. The final keyword can also be used with classes (preventing inheritance) and variables (making them constants).
