Placement Update #2
April 19th, 2008I just want to finish this up in as short as possible. Here is the list of possible companies that are expected to visit the campus for placements during year 2008-2009.
It includes the so called “Mass Recruiters” (MRC) and “Dream Companies”. Though MRC’s are clear to arrive after semester exams, the dream companies will come next semester till the end, We are expected to give names of two companies in which we intend to appear as our Dream Jobs 
Choosing these two are a great headache as we dont know which company will arrive when and which of them will become open? Lots of tension and confusion is prevailing all around. I am too in a deep fix what to do? Which company? EMC2 or Cisco or Microsoft or Yahoo or Freescale or Deloitt? The list is too long and time is less. The worst part is that no one is cooperating. I understand that all of us want a job, but still there is something called humanity. Just imagine someone (not me) who is not able to figure out what to fill in and doest have any idea? What will he do?
Hope, I make up my mind before Monday which is the last date for submission. I have already submitted the academic biodata form yesterday.
And yeah, TCS is coming on 2nd May, not completely sure, but heard. Maybe its true!

In the List I found Google India.. Do you believe it would come?? I do not believe. Google does not go anywhere where MS goes for hiring[ except for Govt funded institutions like IIT,NIT.] You must speak to Vitheleshwar Sir about it before you choose it in the dreams.
If I were you my dreams would Yahoo on the dreams list. Do not choose MS… Being an intern you have more opportunities of continuing your work there than in campus placements. You will have internal interviews after placements but usually if your manager is happy with your perf then rest of the process is just to keep things in please.
The other could be Adobe. You must go and speak to vitheleshwar to speak to your seniors in Adobe[ and Amazon]. for Campus recruitment. There is high chance of them coming for campus placements if you try hard enough.

Hope so, I have one senior (Ankit Verma) who has helped me a lot in clearing me out of this confusion. Again Thanks to him for his unmatcehed help.

I dont expect Google to come. They just roam round the country picking noone. Everytime they say “Student not up to the expectation!”. Nobody is perfect, but can be made perfect by work experience which a person will get only after he/she gets a chance to work at the industry
Yahoo is 99% sure to be open, only 3 students have opted it in my section, and I havnt heard anyone filling it in other sections.
Adobe? How many will be readlly interested to sit in it? its requirement would be more strict and unusual..

I can easily spot the feeds in the address bar in case of Mozilla based browsers.
In IE its too visible, though I dont know what IE you are using, in IE8 Beta 1 its besides “Emulate IE7″
Still if you cant find it, here is the feed URL
