Antara Mandal Claims to Clear 14 Interview Rounds for Wipro Job, Faces Online Backlash and Skepticism

Antara Mandal’s Viral Claim of Surpassing 14 Interview Rounds for Wipro’s Developer Role Sparks Debate on Hiring Processes

A Bengaluru woman’s viral social media post, claiming to have cleared 14 rounds of interviews for a developer role at Wipro, has sparked a heated online debate, with many questioning the credibility of the claim and the feasibility of undergoing such an extensive interview process for a single position.

The Viral Claim of Antara Mandal

Antara Mandal, a Bengaluru resident, took to Instagram Threads to share her “success story,” claiming that after overcoming 14 rounds of interviews, she was finally selected for a developer role at Wipro, one of India’s largest IT services companies. In her post, Mandal shared photos of herself on Wipro’s campus, proudly pointing at the company’s logo, and uploaded an image of her office ID card, which she suggested as evidence of her employment.

Her post read:

“After clearing 14 rounds of an interview, I have finally been selected for the ‘DEVELOPER’ role in ‘WIPRO.’ I create my own sunshine. Dreams are not what you see in your sleep; dreams are those that don’t let you sleep.”

While Antara Mandal’s post garnered a mix of admiration and congratulations, scepticism quickly followed as users questioned the reality of the claim. Times Now has been unable to independently verify the authenticity of Mandal’s post, and Wipro has yet to make an official statement about her claims.

Scepticism and Online Reactions

The claim of having cleared 14 rounds of interviews for a developer role at Wipro immediately sparked debate online. Many users mocked the idea, stating that the process seemed excessive, particularly for a position that traditionally requires just 2–4 interview rounds.

One user commented:

“Wipro me maximum 2–3 round hote h.” (There are at most 2-3 rounds at Wipro.)

Another user humorously remarked:

“14 rounds of interview? That too just for Developer Role… soo funny yaar.” (14 rounds of interviews? That too just for a Developer Role… so funny, friend.)

Some users speculated that Antara Mandal may have attended interviews at multiple companies before securing the Wipro job, suggesting that the 14 rounds could refer to a combination of different interview processes rather than a single, extensive process at Wipro.

Several former Wipro employees also chimed in, sharing their own experiences of the company’s typical hiring process, which usually involves fewer rounds for similar positions. This led to further doubts about the validity of Mandal’s claim.

Clarification Still Pending

Despite the viral backlash, Antara Mandal has not yet responded to the criticism or provided any clarification regarding the number of interview rounds or the nature of her job at Wipro. The company, on its part, has not issued an official statement addressing her claim or offering details about its recruitment practices.

The controversy surrounding Mandal’s claim has led to a wider discussion about corporate recruitment practices, particularly in the tech industry, where job seekers often face multiple interview rounds. However, the idea of 14 rounds for a developer role has raised eyebrows, with many questioning the reasonableness and transparency of such an extensive process.
