Saurabh: My name is Saurabh Kad. I graduated from Pune Institute of computer technology which comes under Pune University. I completed graduation in electronics and telecommunication stream.
Saurabh:Â I joined the college in the second year directly due to my diploma course. My aggregate score was around 75 %. As far as the preparations are concerned I use to study for only when we have the university exams and in that time also I only focused on understanding the concepts. I didn’t study by keeping placements in my mind because placements are not obtained by getting only good marks in the university exam. We must have few skills that differentiate us from any other student.
Saurabh: I started taking placements seriously when I was rejected by the first very high package companies. I didn’t even qualified for their aptitude test. For preparations, i referred to the various online websites for MCQ’s. I also learned basic programming languages from online tutorials.
Saurabh:Â Â I took part in Eyantra robotics competition organized by IIT Bombay. I was also a part of the team that created the mosaic of Dr.A.P.J. Abdul Kalam using Rubik cube
Saurabh: All the interviews were based on the resume. They looked into my resume and asked me to explain in brief all the projects listed in it. Then one of them asked me some programming questions. Do not lie in your resume that is the only best way to pass your interviews
Saurabh: Â I was from the e&tc background and they were concern about how I can adapt to a different programming language. But I convinced them that I didn’t join any kind of class to learn programming and I can do selflearn very efficiently
Interview was completely based on projects that I had complete during the graduation. They were interested to know whether I did those on my own or took help from any agency. They also asked some oop concepts
Saurabh:Â He round is to check confidence level of any individual. They give you some situation and asks what will u do. Most common question is tell me about your self-other than what is mentioned in your resume
Saurabh:Â The toughest thing is to accept rejection in whole placement process. Sometimes you may get passed through all rounds but fail to clear last round. Still you must keep faith in yourself and try even harder
