Answers to some burning questions about placements and advices!

 

Direct Questions and Answers, no BULLSHIT!!!

  1. What skills do IT companies look for in the candidates that they are interviewing? 
    IT companies lookout for various technical skills and soft skills in candidates. In soft skills, communication skills are very important, other soft skills also include the presentation skills - the way you present yourself to the interviewer, Team Work, Writing Skills, Leadership - if you have taken any initiative on your own and have met the expectations of your target audience.
    In technical skills companies expect the candidates to know their core subjects compulsorily. The core subjects include subjects like - Data Structures and Algorithms, DBMS, Computer Networks, Operating Systems, etc. Apart from that, they need to have a good understanding of the concepts of C and C++, Core Java and other language fundamentals. And most importantly they should be able to code ( for coding profiles ). 
  2. When should I seriously start preparing for placements? 
    I would suggest - start preparing from the end of 2nd year itself.
    But then you can start preparing one year before the placements start, that is the starting of 3rd year.
  3. How should I prepare for the written test? 
    - Programming Aptitude in C, C++, Data Structures and Algorithms, Java, etc.
    - Reasoning section ( not too much of it )
    - Verbal skills ( Synonyms, Grammar, Compositions, etc )
  4. How many chances do I have to get a job after being rejected by some company? 
    If you are in UVCE, the placements here are very good. So if you are a Computer Science student or an Information Science student there are a countless number of opportunities for you. But then don't take placements lightly! Focus to get good companies. 
  5. What to do one day before the company interview? 
    Relax! Google about the company's background and the fields they are active in. Google about its products and how the company is a right fit for you.
  6. What language should I use for coding rounds? 
    There is usually no restriction for this unless specified by the company.
    But then, most people use either JAVA or C++ for the coding rounds. I have seen a few people use Python too.
    These are the most popular programming languages for coding rounds. 
  7. Is getting recruited difficult? 
    No, it's not! (if you prepare properly)

C++ Setup using VS Code and TDM-GCC Compiler (Windows)

You need to use this blog along with the YouTube Video present here for better understanding of the installation and the overall process.  YouTube Link -  https://youtu.be/l-4SH-QzbgI C++ Setup using VS Code and TDM-GCC Compiler (Windows) Using this setup we will be installing VS Code and TDM-GCC Compiler which is a good way to compile and run C++ programs in Windows. During my school days we used to execute programs in Turbo C++ compiler, which is now discontinued for good. The UI wasn't intiuitive at all for Turbo C++ software and it looked something like the one shown in the image below. But we do have great memories of programming in C++ using Turbo C++ Software in our school days. 😃 Turbo C++ (discontinued) UI Coming back, as for the Linux based systems (Ubuntu, Debian etc, I guess GCC already comes as part of the package. So Linux users can compile their C++ Programs from day 1 of their installations. 👍 To install GCC compiler on Mac OSX, you need to download and insta...

How I tackled lack of motivation problem during my Placements?

Suffering from a lack of motivation? Well, that is something which is common to every human being out there at some point in time in their lives.  There are some facts that you need to grasp very well in your mind -  Everyone has got 24 hours.  Everyone faces a lack of motivation at some point in time.  No one can study for 24 hours straight.  Most of the people have the available resources to study around you. Example - Phone, Internet, Books, and Materials, etc.  Most people tend to waste their time in mobile games, series, movies, etc.  Not everyone gets up at 4 o clock and starts reading Data Structures and Algorithms and starts coding right away.  Not everyone is god gifted.  So, if this is the case with everyone, then where does the difference actually come up? How are some people more productive and achieve more as compared to others?  The difference comes up in the way how some have trained their mind to react to situations and t...

What if I am not from CSE or ISE? Does that affect my placement in any way, even if I am good?

The bitter truth about placements in UVCE is - for other branches like Mechanical, Electrical, etc. There are not a lot of core companies coming to the college for placements. Not every second or third company coming to college is a core company. Most of them are for Software Engineering profiles or profiles related to computer science fields. Even if the core companies come for placements, the number of students they usually pick is very less. Just confirm with the Placement Office at your college and ask about Placement Opportunities for the branch that you are currently in. So, my simple advice to all the juniors out there in other branches of engineering would be -  Start learning to code.  There will be more details provided to you, but for security reasons, I have hidden them here.  The list above shows the eligible branches for the respective companies . Most of them will be having a job role which involves computers, coding, and all computer...
