How to get placement in college?

 

How to get placement in college? If you are studying in college and want to know how to prepare for campus placements or how can you get placement easily then this is right place for you. In this article, I will tell you about what should you study for placement and how should you prepare for campus placement.

Introduction:

To get a placement from college is an achievement in itself. Let me clear first this article is for those students who are studying in colleges and waiting for the placement companies in their campus. In this article I want to tell you few strategies by which you can definitely get a placement in a good company.

In my personal experience I got chance to sit in 4 companies drive in my campus and I got selected in 3 companies. The first company for which I was not got selected was my dream company. But anyway after selecting 1 among the 3 others companies and by doing job for 2 years over there now I’m working in my same dream company.

Now let’s come to the point how can we get a placement in a good company?

Let’s first understand the process of the companies follows in campus drive. There could be a little variation in the process but almost companies follow the same process. A pattern that is generally followed includes the following components.

•  Written test
•  Group Discussion
•  Technical interview
•   HR interview

Now let’s understand these one by one

1. Written Test –

There could be three types of written test:

1. Purely Technical
2. Exam based on Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning & English Language
3. In a mix mode of above two options

It varies company to company which type of written test they want to process in campus drive. For example in case of Infosys they follow the 2^nd option for the first round.

In technical written test they will ask objective questions regarding your technical courses you have studied in your syllabus. Most of the questions generally asked from below subjects.

• C Programming Language
• Object Oriented Programming(OOPs) Concepts
• Algorithms & Data Structure
• Operating Systems
• Networking
• Web Technology – html, java script

The level of questions remains very easy. If you know the concepts regarding these subjects you can give answer very easily. So the first strategy is that keep your focuses on these subjects and do your mock test online for preparations.

In second type of written test the company will check your analytical skills.  They will ask you objective questions based on Math, Reasoning and English. The syllabus for this section is similar to any other competitive bank exam (like bank Clerical/PO exam). You can Google for this to find the syllabus. For clearing this section you also required to do more and more practice.

In third kind of written test questions will be asked from Technical, Math, Reasoning and English background. In short it will be a mix mode of the above two exams.

2. Group Discussion – This round is not mandatory in case of all companies. Some companies directly proceed to technical round after clearing the written test. But some companies prefer to take this round as well.

In this round a topic will be given to every candidate in the group. They will give some time (2-3 minutes) to note down their views on the given topic. After that they will give chance to every candidate to share their thoughts related to the given topic. Here the things which matters are your knowledge about the topic and your communication skills. You also required to do practice for the preparation of this round.

3. Technical interview – For this round I have already created an article. You can check that on below link:

4. HR interview – If you are in this round that means you have already 85% covered and you have mostly chances to be get selected. In this round, they will check your communication skills, confidence level and how you could handle certain situations at work. Some of the commonly asked questions are like as below:

• Tell me about your self
• Tell me about your family background
• What are your hobbies and personal interests?
• Why do you want to join our company?
• What are your strength and weakness?
