Hello Readers,

Here we present you another success story from one of alumni of Department of Information Technology, ADCET Ashta. Mr Ajit Kuchekar he got placed in Persistent Systems Pune. Do read his success story to find proper do's and dont's for your preparation for Persistent Systems Pune.

Success Story Ajit Kuchekar ADCET 2014

When we enter into a final year of graduation our aim is to get placed into a good company. When my final year was started I also think about that, and I started preparation about the same. But question is that, what to prepare? Because each company looking for different personality (kind of knowledge/character). So, how single person to be a having different personality ? For that reason we must having a dynamic personality (change our self as per the situation/world/demand).(for e.g. TCS looking for good communication whereas Persistent looking for good technical).

When I got information that TCS is going to come for campus in our college, and I was sure about getting selected, because I was in a topper  list, there is no aptitude for me ,only GD, technical & HR interviews. I regularly studied the all subjects from 2nd year (IIIrd sem) seriously, so technical round was not big issue for me. And also, if you are having good character and communication, then clear HR round is not big task for you. And for GD you must have overall world knowledge with good communication. But unfortunately due to my gap in education they were not allowed me to attend the TCS campus. But there is lots of companies, so you have to continue the preparation. And before 20-25 days, I got information that Persistent is going to come for campus. So, you have to always ready for campus because we don’t no when and which company will come for campus.

Persistent having aptitude and technical round (1 or 2), HR is only for formality. Persistent having technical aptitude (10% general+90%technical) so, I prepared technically well. I have solved objective Q from net (indiabix.com) and also other pdf papers and also our regular subjects because no Q will come other than  our syllabus(for technical only). For technical following subjects included: OS, DS, TCS, C/C++, Networking, DB, SE, Java, etc. Also have 1 program to implement and paragraph writing. So, I practiced c/c++ programs specially file handling and looping statements. 

For general aptitude, I had material given by  the Sanir Kittur sir, which help a lot to clear quantitative aptitude. At that time I have cleared the aptitude, now next was technical round. Technical is always tough round in Persistent. But I have studied all subjects very well so at that time I have not done any other special things for technical. If you study your regular subjects seriously then no need to give extra time for technical preparation. One  book I have referred that was Technical Interview Q (by Koirala <available in ADCET library>). My technical was taken by the senior panel ,so I was having only one chance (if junior panel then 2 rounds). My technical was good and I answered almost all Q. Following Q were asked to me:

1.    Describe yourself(Ans: my personal information, education details, about myself, favorite subject, interest)....So according to my favorite subject they divert towards them(OS ,Networking)
2.    What is scheduler?
3.    What are the scheduling algorithms?
4.    Working of each algorithm.
5.    They given a problem based on scheduling algorithm.
6.    What is complexity?
7.    Types of complexity?
8.    Why and how to measure complexity?
9.    Other Q based on that.
10.    Searching and sorting techniques.
11.    Which one is better and why?
12.    Problem is given on search in and find out the iterations needed to complete? Is there any formula to calculate the iterations?
13.    About project.
14.    About program which was asked for aptitude.
15.    What is your strength?
16.    Do you have any Q for me?
17.    And other.....................

I clear the technical round and nominated for HR. HR was only for formality and documentation.
So, my suggestion is that before going for campus first of all gathers information regarding the campus requirement process of that company. Because based  on that we can make a conclusion that what kind of specialty into an individual company looking for and according that we can prepare for the same. Because different companies looking for different specialties within a candidates.

Basically all companies having following rounds:
1.    Aptitude
2.    GD
3.    Technical
4.    HR
If candidate is technically strong having good communication skills and personality with overall worlds activities knowledge (current/past) , no company will reject the candidate.
Finally all credit of my campus selection goes to staff of our department (teaching/non-teaching). Due to their regular support and motivation it’s became possible me to do hard work and achieve success.

Success Story Diana D'Souza ADCET 2014

Hello Readers,

Here we bring to our readers another success story from Diana D'Souza Student of Computer Science and Engineering, ADCET Ashta. She got placed at Persistent Systems Pune. Below is her success story in her own words.

Success Story Diana D'Souza ADCET 2014

First of all I’ll start from my campus preparation which I started from my second semester of  third year of engineering. This preparation was for the first company which always comes first for the campus drive that was tcs.But company criteria was to take only first five topers for the selection process and I was not eligible for that company . It was very guilty and angry feeling that I could not face the first company. I continued my preparation for  the next company.
Second company came which was Persistent Systems Ltd. When Sayyad sir told that it was eligible for all students with specific criteria. And I was very happy that I was eligible for that company, so I continued my preparation accordingly and specially for technical subjects that was C,C++.

Finally the company arrived on 17th October 2014 at my college. There were actually four rounds for the selection process.
1. Technical  aptitude.
2. Technical interview first.
3. Technical interview second.
4. HR interview.

First round was technical aptitude which was held on my college. This round was 60% depend on pure technical knowledge of C and C++ and another 40% for general aptitude and English section.
I cleared that round and got selected for the next round which was at KIT college Kolhapur on 18th October  9:00 AM onwards. When I reached I was still remembering which points ,subjects I forgot to prepare and feeling depressed. Just I was hoping for the best and trying to get all that I read. Suddenly my name was announced for the interview and got scared a lot. I went with confidence and little bit fear in my mind.

Interviewer directly told me “Come Diana, sit and write the algo on bubble sort”. I was speechless  that time and did not expected that situation. Without asking me anything or any intro he just told me to write algo. I hold myself for a while and took god’s name. And then  got ready for the algo. I wrote algo and next question came to add elements for that array. I took time to write but I gave my all efforts and solve that problem. Now next question was for to delete that elements. I wrote correctly as much possible but not in proper way. Then he asked me a lot of questions on basics of C and algorithms which I answered maximum write. This process was continued for the long time till 1:50 hour.  

Then he leave me with a message “ Go, and sit. HR will come to u.”. I could not understood for a minute what he said ,then I got that I was selected for the next HR round. But formally still result  was pending. And after long time of waiting that coordinator  came to me and told “You are going for the HR round.”.That was magical moment for me and I was sure that I was selected because HR round was just for nominal. I was lucky that interviewer did not send me to next technical round.

Finally the third round which was HR round took place. I was waiting for my interview outside.I was with Mr. Arif sir and Sayyad sir discussing on interview process. And I was very happy and exiting and told to sir that “ I will select for sure”.
 When I gave interview of HR he just asked me about myself ,my hobbies, my favorite actor, favorite sportsman etc. and interview got finished.

After an hour the results got announced and finally I got placed in Persistent Systems Ltd and my dream comes true.
This success I dedicated to my lovely parents, my teachers and my best buddies in my life ever.

So you would be eagerly waiting to listen to this Success Story. Below is success story in her own words.

Success Story Supriya Mohite ADCET 2014

Career building is a tough procedure. It takes patients & hard work to be own self as a successful professional.First interview is always a special experience in anyone's life & surely the TCSer makes it more special. It was a big dream for me work in TCS and ofcourse I cant express my feelings when I got to know that I was selected for the best company in the world. I can't forget the day I got the offer letter.

At very first  our college announced name of five students of CSE dept that are eligible for TCS. I was shoked that I was eligible for TCS.Then I would come to know that TCS has first round on 20th September 2013 at RIT college Islampur. Our TPO “Prof Sayyad Sir” told us first round was “Email Writing” for that you have time of ten minutes  and if you want to crack that round you have to practice for email on MS word or any other tool that will help you for writing email , because of that you would get good writing speed as well as less spelling mistake. I follow the instruction given by Sayyad sir and practic for email using MS Word. 

Finally that day came i.e  20th September  and we went to RIT Islampur, there were so many students for first round . By seeing all students I was little bit  nervous. But  I motivated myself and I boost up for first round. I went to exam hall and started with email writing. There were 10-12 words given for writing email and only 10 minutes, by arranging all words in sequential manner and given time I wrote a mail. For writing mail the time is very important factor. Next day there was result of that round and Sayyad sir told the result to me and I was surprised that I was shortlisted for next round, I was very happy that time.

Next round was on 30th September 2013 at TCS branch Pune.  I reach to TCS branch Hinjewadi on 30th September at 8 AM. There were total 3 rounds. 1. Technical Round, 2. Management Round, 3. HR Round. 

In Technical round they ask me questions related to Operating system, Software Engineering, Computer Network, Database, C, and ask me to explain TE project. Some questions are what is OS? , What are types of OS? , What is deadlock?, Difference between real time and multiprocessor system?,What is multiprocessor system?    What is Software Engineering? , What is SDLC? , What are models in Software Engeering?, Draw Waterfall model and Spiral model and explain difference between them? What is OSI Model draw and explain? Explain Join. Why it is used? Write a query to retrieve first 1000 rows from table? Write a program to reverse a string. This is all about technical round,  after  half an hour I got my result and I was shortlisted for MR.  

Management Round was totally depends on my final year project. After cracking the MR, final round was HR round. In HR Round first question for me was to introduce yourself?  The next question was Tell me your strengths? What you know about TCS?  Why should I hire you? Next question was What are other skills you have? Final question for me was Do you have any question for me? This is all about my 3 rounds. 

For HR round I would like to say some important points that you should know 2 or 3 strength and weaknesses  about yourself with explanations. You must know about company profile  in detail and you should able to explain yourself in very well manner and so on.

After completing all rounds next day i.e 1st October 2013 there was result and  I was very afraid about result which was given to our TPO  Arif sir. At time passes my heart beats were increasing for getting result. At 11 am on 1st October I made call to Arif sir and asked about result, sir told me that you are got placed in TCS, now you are a part of TCS family. Really I was very excited when I heard that, I was part of TCS family. I feel it's my honor to be get placed in it. I was really very happy because I can see a huge blow of happiness on my parents face. My family was happy and it was something good to share with my wellwishers. I am feeling pride to be a part of TATA group. I am really thankful to GOD, Parents, Teachers, Friends and TCS for giving this opportunity. The first interview faced and cracked at the end gave immense joy and happiness. The assurance of my secured future among expertise gave the delight worth remembering.

Success Story Yogesh Khopade ADCET Ashta 2014

Hello Readers 

We bring to your third in the series. The Success Story of one more proud student of Department of Computer Science and Engineering, ADCET Ashta. He is proud alumni recruited in Persistent Systems Pune. He has put a lot of efforts to write this success story with more detailed discussion on what he experienced in the campus interview rounds.

Success Story Yogesh Khopade ADCET Ashta 2014

15 days before the campus interview of Persistent Systems, Pune, I started the preparation. My primary focus is on the basic technical things. In these days I brushed up my basic knowledge on C, C++, Data Structure etc.

One day before the interview there was an aptitude test, which was combination of all the basic subjects of our stream. Aptitude was good and I got shortlisted for next.
 

On 18th Oct. 2013, Interview was scheduled in three rounds at KIT, Kolhapur. I got call for junior poll technical round. He had one form in his hand over which some subjects was listed like Computer network, Data Structure, C, C++, Operating System, Database Systems etc. He puts his finger on list and started asking questions sequentially. After listening my answer, he wrote remark (i.e. poor, average, good and best) for each subject. I was in the range of average and good for all the subjects. In this round I felt like I was in Rapid fire round.

After junior poll I was shortlisted for senior poll. There were two senior interviewers in approximately one hour interview. I was felt confident because I studied a lot on projects and programming as well, and whole interview based on it. For every project they require brief description and my role in each project. They told me to write some programs from C++ and Java. Also they asked me two puzzles, which I solved correctly. Lastly they gave me chance to ask questions to them, for getting benefit of it, I asked two organization domain related questions which I was already prepared.

Finally I got call for HR round as I expected. HR round was casual talk with interviewer like self-introduction, educational details etc. They declared result and I got selected.

In my point of view my project presentation, real life examples that I was given, answers on puzzles and questions to interviewers are the keys to achieve this milestone. So, I recommend fresher’s to prepare well these things.

Success Story Shweta Pote ADCET Ashta 2014

Hello Readers,

Here we bring to our readers second success story. This is from Shweta Pote, Student of Computer Science and Engineering Department, ADCET Ashta. She got placed through campus interviews in L n T Infotech. Below is success story in his own words.

Success Story Shweta Pote ADCET 2014

The preparation for getting placed in a company starts on the very first day of your college I would say. Whatever you learn each day is going to help you somewhere. Things those helped me to get placed in L & T infotech are Practice of aptitude test questions and good English communication skill.

Our college arranged several aptitude classes and many personality development sessions and I took full benefits of such sessions. Reading English novels and story books helped me to improve my vocabulary. Participating and working in various events built my confidence.

We attended L & T infotech campus pool on 5th of February 2014 at JJMCOE, Jaysingpur. There were total five rounds. First round was aptitude test which had three sections: Quantitative, Logical reasoning and Verbal. There were total 60 questions and we were expected to solve them in 60 minutes. There was sectional cut-off. In such a case time management is the factor that we need to take care of. 

Next round was Group discussion and topic was “Can India progress ahead with dictatorship?” What and how you talk matters in GD. 

Next round was paragraph writing and topic for that was “Kids today more techno savvy.” In this round they just checked our written communication skill. 

Fourth round was technical interview. We were expected to be clear with our basics. HR asked me questions like: Introduce yourself, what you did in projects?, What are pointers and how they work?, Role of firewall, What  is tristate logic?, Explain microprocessor 8085 in detail, which companies manufactures microprocessors?, What are interrupts?, List names of flags in 8085 flag register, Why should we hire you? And any questions for me?

Last round was HR round and it was just for the sake of formality.  One more thing I must mention is, one should be prepared with all his documents, Xerox copies of those and photographs.

I would suggest all juniors to take benefits of placement related activities in your college, sharp your basics and grab opportunities.
