Tips for placements in UVCE from my experience ...

 

TIPS FOR PLACEMENT (from my experience) 

  1. Practice writing code on white paper - This is a very important point that I am mentioning here. Start developing this habit from the early stage itself. Most interviewers will give you a piece of paper to write down the codes and the ideas that are running through your mind. They cannot provide you with a laptop each and every time you come for getting interviewed. 
  2. Know your resume - Technical skills are the must to mention there. Don't bluff and write about something that you merely spent just an hour learning about. Also, mention the projects that you made during your engineering life and be ready to explain it down to the T. 
  3. Talk out loud - Interviewers want to understand what is running inside your god damn brain. If you simply sit in front of him for half an hour or so, a direct impression that you are stuck goes into the mind of the interviewer. Which is not a good sign. Instead, if you explain your thought process like - Yes I see an array given to me here since it is sorted it makes my thing easier. You can apply Binary Search and blah blah!
    Sometimes this approach even gives you an edge in thinking about the solution you are targetting and moreover it gives a sign to the interviewer that yes you are doing something. 
  4. Come out of the myth that the best person for the job gets the job - Be confident about yourself, and remember one thing - It's not the best person in the room who gets the job always. It's the person who gives the best interview who gets the job. 
  5. Don't answer long, answer compact and smart - The answers that you give during the interview should not be so long that it bores the interviewer and he forgets that he is an interviewer. Say your answers such that it shows your intelligence and good communication skills. 
  6. Be Honest - If you don't know the answer to any question, say that I am quite unsure about this question. No one is born perfect or prepared perfectly to know all the answers thrown at him/her. Say him about the terms that you haven't ever heard of, or if you are very new to the field the question is coming from. They understand! 
  7. Relax and just be yourself - Being yourself doesn't mean leaning back on the chair in front of the interviewer and putting your legs on the table and saying - "Ask! Come on".
    You will be thrown out of the room in seconds. Being yourself means, carrying your personality and not faking about something that you are not. 
  8. Build Rapport with the interviewer - It's not always about answering the questions correctly, but it is also about answering as well as carrying the conversation with the interviewer in a positive manner. 
  9. Do you have any questions for me? - This is the most common question that the interviewers ask the students they are interviewing. If you have a genuine question, then only ask. Don't ask just for the sake of asking it. 
  10. Convince them that you are right for the job - Try to use the words and terminologies and incidents which show that you are the right fit for the job. If you are in software development, show that you take development seriously and don't just do basic stuff but also take initiative in learning stuff to improve more upon it.

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...
