Manish’s Scribble Board

After a long wait, finally campus placements starts off with TCS first to enter this mighty campus.

Its a three day programme, one day written test, one and a half day interviews and then results. I never saw people preparing more seriously than this event, not even for the semester papers. Aptitude,English and Maths were the three sections for the written test and interview covered Technical, HR and MR rounds. Some people faced only the first two and managed to escape the third.

Short approximate statistics reveal the following (as published by placement dept). Total students eligible for the written test were 720 which included people like me who registered but didnt give the exam. Out of this 470 people got shortlisted, who faced interviews today. Just heard that some 60 HR people came from TCS to interview which included technical and non-technical members. Students of Computer Science and Electronics were the main target and they took rigorous rounds asking deep questions about DBMS, Web Technology and other unexpected stuff.

The HR round consisted of two common questions- “Tell me about yourself” and “Why you want to work for TCS?“. Guess these two questions are not so simple, even simple looking questions become tough sometimes. I just hope that they select some 300 students out of this huge number of 470.

P.S: Sorry for my bad english, am half asleep now

It has been ages since I blogged and have Loads to say.

FIrstly, last Thursday and Friday was Diwali. I cant understand why people here celebrated Diwali on Thursday when it was on Friday? Quite amazing ! Well it doesnt matter much when you have company to enjoy. On Friday night was Kali Puja, was in Venugopal Temple till 2:30AM in the night/morning.

I wont forget to mention about the fireworks at KMC Greens and Kamath Circle,MIT. The show was as usual excellent as we enjoyed a lot. Not much to say, just check out the pics for have your jaws dropping
