FACTS

Predominantly Software Companies

Points to Ponder:
  • Big companies visit the campus only on evaluating the credentials of our college. Hence not only good infrastructure but a good brand image is must.
  • Smaller companies visit the campus on request, depending upon their requirements.
  • The placement office keeps approaching the companies throughout the year.
  • Students may help the placement office by suggesting potential companies and possible contact persons.

Selection criteria

Academics

  • Many companies permit only students with 70% and above to attend aptitude test.Some may even ask for 75% and above marks.
  • Failure in any semester in any one subject is liable for rejection.
  • Points to Ponder:Good,consistent academic record is the bottom line

Academic Test/Group Discussions

  • Most of the companies conduct aptitude test which combine technical and general issues.
  • Technical issues means mostly proficiency in c language.
  • General means language skills and reasoning.

Points to Ponder:
  • C-proficiency does not mean 80% in C-exam,but project experience and knowledge of practical implementation issues.
  • General aptitude skills could be improved by way of preparing for GRE&TOEFL.Those who cannot afford (in true sense) might approach the career guidance cell coordinator or the staff advisor for the department .The department is keen to provide training.
  • Make use of language lab facility in library through english department. The language lab has multimedia software and systems to support TOFEL preparation,which can help you improve vocabulary and ability to participate in group discussion.

Objective is to test

  • Technical knowledge
  • Communication skills
  • Interviews are conducted not just to get the correct answer,but mostly to identify the students who have the ability to face things.
  • Answer must be precise(may be/will be to be avoided) and consistent.

Points to Ponder:
  • Technical knowledge can be projected by way of submiting/presenting Technical papers and Mini projects.
  • Domain knowledge in area of interest.
  • Knowledge in current trends is essential.
  • Visit to library, refer journals/webs in the net.
  • Knowledge in datastructure,operating system is a must.
