Placement advice for a third year B.Tech student

by Sridhar Jammalamadaka on July 4, 2010


This piece of advice is related to placement and is targeted for bachelors student studying pre-final year in an Engineering college in India.

I assume that you are currently in the 6th semester of degree. The only way you can get a job at this point of time is through campus placement. You can reserve a job for future if you are lucky and your college organizes on-campus placement drive, and if you are eligible for the placement drive, make it in through the interview.

Otherwise, you will have to wait until you reach last semester of your final year. You can then upload your resume to job portals such as www.naukri.com , www.monsterindia.com etc., and tell the job market world that you are available for a job placement.

For now, I suggest you to improve your puzzle solving skills by doing books such as Puzzles to Puzzle you by George summers or Shakunthala Devi puzzles. Also work on your general aptitude skills which include mathematical problems solving, logical problems etc. You will find a lot of placement papers on the internet in websites such as www.freshersworld.com or www.placementpapers.net

Feel free to ask me anything related to placements. Do not feel inhibited to ask or put forth your concerns with respect to your job search.
