Step by Step Guide for Placement Preparation

 

Placements:

The placement session for any company generally has 3 – 4 rounds. The first round being the written test, consisting of quantitative aptitude, reasoning (logical ability), english (verbal ability) and computer science subjects (C, C++, Data Structures, Algorithms, DBMS, OS, Networks, etc.).

For some companies, you might also have a coding round, which is sometimes taken as a separate round and sometimes is clubbed with the written test.

Further rounds are interview rounds, the first two usually being the technical round and successive rounds being the HR round.

• C Language 
• C++ Language
• Java
• Python
• C#

3. Subject basics : Most important subjects that you must know for any company interview are undoubtedly data structures and algorithms.
   • Data Structures | Coding Practice ( Array, Linked List, Tree, BST, Graph)
   • Algorithms | Coding Practice ( Searching, Sorting, Maths, Dynamic Programming, Greedy, Bit, Backtracking)
   • DBMS
   • Operating System
   • Computer Networks

    4. Practice is undoubtedly the key to success : Students generally are seen   skipping practice part and landing into trouble when asked to write the code in a live interview. Therefore, PRACTICE is strongly recommended.

   5. Interview Preparation: Interview Experiences give you a fair idea about what you might go through in your interviews. You should carefully observe the comments wherein students have answered certain queries regarding placement process too.
