                                                                     Campus Placements

Hi,

Welcome to the world of placements.If u are an engineer and preparing for placements in your college than you are at the right place.Some category of  students become very excited about placements,whereas other category of students never bother about that. Best state of student is the one which is inbetween these two extreme states.Let me tell you one mystry of campus placements.It follows uncertainity principle.You simple cannot predict which student will get which company.A university topper may end up his career in low paying jobs and a 60+ percentile student may be earning huge money in some reputed MNC.The point here is you never know which company you r gonna marry.So what is the best policy while you enter the festival of campus placements. It is”Do your Best and Leave the rest”

 

Ok,let me come to the point .I will give you FIVE pUnch Principles that will help you to accelerate you    placement performance

  1. you need to be very strong in aptitude.Make sure you have finished your exercises from R.S Agarwal book.This is enough to clear most of the companies.For very few  companies you need to go one step further ,by reading and practising the aptitude of CAT level.For 90% of companies, aptitude would be simple.Just you need to be well versed with the basic logic behind the problems.
  2. Here I  confine myself to computer, electronics and similar streams.For these streams the knowledge of C language is very important.First refresh your C basics from general books like “Let Us C” by yeshwant kanetkar or books of Balguruswamy.Once you are done with this start practicing the questions from book “Test your C skills” by yeshwant kanetkar. While you were solving problems from this book tick mark all the problems which you feel are unique problems. Do make a collection such questions .In placements you will come across unique C problems very frequently.
  3. If you are not from software stream,but attending the interview of some software company than they will sometime test your knowledge of  your straem.If the person who is taking interview is from the same branch than  you may get some indepth questions.So be prepared about this.If the company has openings for your branch than you need to be perfect in your basics.Its a great wonder that most the interview questions would be basics of our course.So make sure you have a strong basic foundation.
  4. Soft Skills.Few companies give more importance to soft skills than technical knowledge. Apart from  Speaking fluent English you should also speak with confidence and enthusiasm.
  5. Coming to the human aspect of placement preparartion, your state of mind should be as said by Krishna in Bhagavad Geeta."You have the right to work but have no right on their results"

 

          ALL THE BEST:)
