A process is described for hydrocracking a hydrocarbon feedstock with hydrogen at hydrocracking conversion conditions in a plurality of reaction zones in series which comprises: a. contacting the feedstock in a first reaction zone with a first hydrocracking catalyst comprising a nickel component and a tungsten component deposed on a support component consisting essentially of an alumina component and a crystalline molecular sieve component; b. contacting the effluent from the first reaction zone in a second reaction zone with a second hydrocracking catalyst comprising a cobalt component and a molybdenum component deposed on a support component comprising a silica-alumina component and a crystalline molecular sieve component; c. contacting the effluent from the second reaction zone in a third reaction zone with the first hydrocracking catalyst.
