Everyone entering into final year of a B.E course will have a thought foremost on their minds i.e., campus interviews. Three years of trudging in B.E does not prepare us a bit for these interviews. So what is the skill that is required?? Here's my opinion (I am not an expert but I just got placed last year so that should count). You should have atleast one area of expertise and something to show for it. You could do this by maybe doing a project or taking a course or even certification.This done your next step would be to prepare for the actual placement process. Most companies start of with the aptitude test. The time needed for preparation depends of how smart you are but the minimum duration would be a week and the maximum maybe a month.Aptitudes are of two types:purely numerical [quantative] and the rest. I suggest you concentrate on the rest more than the numerical. Books for this are R.S Agarwal and Sakunthala Devi. You could also take the many free aptitude tests online. If the company that is coming for interview also has a technical round it is better to freshen up your C with Yeshwanth Kanetkar. Concentrate on pointers cause that is where the majority of questions lies.Next we come to the group discussions which are supposed to test your English. Dont sweat it out if your English is not too good.These are mainly to check your courage and attitude and almost 99% people can clear this round easily. Finally the interviews. That will be my next blog :)
