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.

Below is detailed questions list for the interviews

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.

Jyothi Sargar ( in her own words)

Elitmus helped me a lot in finding a job without any trouble. I performed well in Elitmus and got the job opportunity from CGI IT Industry and grabbed it.

Firstly after giving PH test I was called for interview on 2nd August. I had attended an off campus in Hyderabad.

There were rounds first round written test i.e. aptitude test consists of quantitative, passages, analogies, sentence correction, series and logical reasoning. Second round was group discussion there was talk on the simple topics, they selected who spoke meaningful and confidently. Then technical round as I was hiring for dot net developer the most questions was on dot net, database, SQL queries and simple programs. This round was quite easy as we are familiar to those subjects. Next was management round that was all about final year project. Last HR round it was a casual chat to introduce ourselves and what we know about the Company and simple questions like our hobbies, strength etc. In all rounds the candidates were shortlisted. I got selected.

I recommend job seekers to take Elitmus PH test because most of the MNCs are now hiring through PH score.

Now for our readers if you are interested to know more about ELitmus test read this article on Elitmus process.

Hope you like this initiative. Please comment below to share your thoughts on this series.

TCS CodeVita 2014 and its Importance for Current BE Students

 Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading IT services, consulting and business solutions organization, announced that it is hosting TCS CodeVita, a contest for engineering and science students to experience the joy of coding and to sharpen their programming skills through real-life computing practices. The contest also aims at identifying the talent, besides providing the student community, an opportunity to earn peer recognition. TCS is promoting learning through fun and contests like CodeVita as programming is becoming the skill for future and provide a fast gateway to technology career.

CodeVita will be held in two phases based on the annual academic calendar. In phase 1, students from Mexico, Colombia, Uruguay, Peru, Australia, South Africa and India can register during July-August. While in phase 2, students from Canada, UK, China, Singapore and Japan can register in October.

CodeVita is a two member team contest and involves three rounds of coding. Each member has to register individually on the CodeVita portal. CodeVita contest supports coding in 7 languages – Java, C#, C, Perl, C++, Python and Ruby.
Ajoy Mukherjee, Executive Vice President said: “Coding is a mind sport. Programming skills helps engineering students to solve complex problems and promotes conceptual thinking as it blends mathematics, logic and alogrithms.”

The contest comprises three rounds:

• Round 1: Programming problem statements.
• Round 2: Top 5% of teams from Phase I countries will move into this round.
• Grand Finale: Top 15 teams from both Phase 1 and Phase 2 geographies from round 2 will be invited for the Grand Finale. Top 3 teams will be declared winners of the contest.

Winning teams will be judged based on accuracy, speed and efficiency. To avoid plagiarism and to promote the best practices, CodeVita this year has introduced the gamification element to differentiate the low, average and high performers based on time element and ranking. Converting a ‘Time advantage’ into a ‘Score advantage’ provides benefits such as using time as a currency to earn scores and thus, gamify problem solving and since time continuously changes, plagiarism will be less effective.
The Winners will receive exciting prizes, internship offers with CTO Team and provisional Offer Letters from TCS.

TCS has been actively involved in engaging students across campuses as part of its Academic Interface Programme. Through “Campus Commune” a dedicated social engagement platform which has over 300,000 student members, TCS encourages learning through discussion and interaction with other students present on the online community, as well as the TCS employees who are open to providing mentorship. The forum is extensively used to spot talent through various engagement programme as well as contests such as CodeVita, Mobeel, Testimony, EngiNX, etc. It is also used as a platform to stay connected with prospective employees throughout the academic life cycle of a student.
