1. Statement of Purpose
This document is primarily for those eligible candidates for Campus Interviews which is held in their respective colleges. For quite a while, it has been noticed that the students from professional colleges of the North East are not able to perform up to desired levels- this despite the fact that many recruiters are coming to the colleges for recruiting. This could be attributed to the following reasons 1. Lack of Technical Knowledge.
3. Written test
3.1: Aptitude Section
Most of the companies nowadays mainly give importance to this section. Infact if it is related to IT or some management then surely there will be section for aptitude. Students need to prepare well before they sit for the written. The main thing in any aptitude test is the management of time. For this, students require to practice a lot before the test. Sources
Note: -- Here the technical section will be different for different organizations. It may happen that questions will be asked only in 1 or 2 sections. Point to be noted: For core Engineering companies questions may come from the areas on which generally most of the organization are offering services .It will always depend on the organization .Students need to gather information well before the actual test. The main point here is that not everyone is good in each and every field. Each one of us has our fortes and weaknesses too. What companies look for are people who know their area of specialization and are an expert in it. More over for all the branch related technical test students can refer study material of GATE,IES and many other handbooks .
Therefore, it pays to be a master in some fields if not the jack of all. Students need to at least choose two subjects from the entire engineering course preferably, on which most the companies offer their services and prepare well for the interview. Since in campus interviews generally the duration are not that much long for, students should take this advantage and should show his skills with in this time period.
4. Group Discussion
Generally companies conduct group discussion after the written test so as to check on your interactive skills and how good the student are at communicating with other people. The GD is to check how the candidate behave, participate and contribute in a group, how much importance do one give to the group objective as well as with his own, how well do one listen to viewpoints of others and how open-minded are one in accepting views contrary to your own. The aspects that make up a GD are verbal communication, non-verbal behavior, and conformation to norms, decisionmaking ability and cooperation. For preparation of GD - Students in every institute can organize mock GD among themselves. Can gather tips for GD from different sources like the Internet, books. They can go through the courses for GD basically provided for the institute which is meant for management exams. Students need to be aware of current affairs.
5. Technical Interview
Technical Interview will vary from companies to companies. It is obvious that those questions which are generally asked for IT sector will not be asked for the other sector. So again everything will depend on the recruiters. Students
Prepare the resume well. Students should analyze the possible questions that interviewer can
ask while going through the resume and should prepare for those question. For instance if mentioned leadership skills in the resume, student should be able to tell the interviewer what are the projects or the programs student have done or organized as a leader. Students need to remember one thing that they have worked on the project for whole 6 months and they are the person who knows most about their project more than any one else. It is easy for non-CSE students to clear the technical interview in IT sector. This is because if the interviewer asks them questions on advanced topics, they have an excuse to say that they did not study them in their curriculum. Non-CSE candidates will be asked questions mostly in C language. So they should be proficient in C language. Another important thing in Technical interview is the project. Some of the interviewers ask 60% of the questions in project only. So students need to be very much clear and in depth knowledge on the area on which they hade done the project. For example if anyone from E&T or EE branch have done his project on Microprocessor and then the probability of question will be more in that area. Interviewer may ask for the student favorite subject. Every interviewer expects that student should be able to answer most of the questions in at least his favorite subject. Student should be thorough with your favorite subject.
6. H.R Interview
A candidate generally faces this round after having cleared the above said stages (with the exception of certain companies where you face it before the technical round). The candidate must be fully prepared for this stage. The general questions asked in this round are Tell us about yourself. What do you know about our company?
Adding here another point ,since in the campus interviews most of the IT companies recruit from Non IT branch also .So in the HR interview the recruiter will ask for the specific reason for changing their career path to IT from other core branch. Again will it be said that everything depends upon the recruiters. These may seem easy to answer but one must be well prepared with answers with proper script beforehand. Here are a few preparation tips that can help a candidate 1) Candidate should outline their education in the reverse chronological order (ie latest first.) reflecting upon their achievements. 2) Candidate should regularly check upon their strengths and weaknesses. Jot down the technical and non-technical skills and should be prepared for citing examples of their skills for effectiveness. At the end of the interview, most interviewers generally ask if the candidate has any questions. Therefore, one should be prepared beforehand with 2-3 technical and 2-3 non-technical questions and commit them to your memory before the interview. Here we are giving few sample questions that one can ask at the time of their interview. Sample Questions Could you tell the growth plans and goals of the company? What skills are important to be successful in this position? What are the criteria your company uses for performance appraisal? Therefore before going for an interview, one should find out as much information on the company as possible. The best sources are the public library, the Internet (you can check out the company's site), and one can even call the company and get the required information. The information gives the candidate a one-up in the interview besides proving his/her content for the company or position.
