5-tips for campus placement

For MNC campus placements (Deloitte, Wipro, TCS, Cognizant, etc.), here are 5 focused and practical tips to prepare effectively:

✅ 1. Master Aptitude & Logical Reasoning

Most MNCs eliminate candidates in the first round using aptitude tests.

What to focus on:

  • Quantitative aptitude (percentages, profit & loss, time & work, averages)
  • Logical reasoning (coding–decoding, puzzles, seating arrangement)
  • Verbal ability (grammar, reading comprehension)

Practice daily (1–2 hours):

  • Previous year TCS / Wipro / Cognizant questions
  • Online platforms like IndiaBIX, PrepInsta, FacePrep

✅ 2. Strengthen Core Computer Science Basics

Interviewers don’t expect experts—but they expect clarity.

Must-know subjects:

  • DBMS – normalization, SQL queries, keys
  • OOPS – encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction
  • Operating System – process, threads, deadlock
  • Computer Networks – OSI model, TCP/IP

👉 Prepare definitions + 1–2 real-life examples for each topic.

✅ 3. Practice One Programming Language Well

Choose ONE main language and be confident.

Best choices for MNCs:

  • Java / Python / C

You should be able to:

  • Write basic programs (loops, arrays, strings)
  • Explain logic clearly
  • Solve simple problems like:
    • Palindrome
    • Fibonacci
    • Reverse a string
    • Prime number

📌 Clarity matters more than complexity.

✅ 4. Prepare a Strong Self-Introduction & Resume

This is where many students lose confidence.

Self-Introduction should include:

  • Your name & degree
  • Technical skills
  • Academic/project highlights
  • Career goal (simple & honest)

Resume tips:

  • Keep it 1 page
  • Mention:
    • Skills
    • Mini projects
    • Internships / certifications (if any)
  • Avoid fake skills ❌

✅ 5. Practice HR Interview Questions

HR rounds are mostly about confidence & attitude.

Prepare answers for:

  • Tell me about yourself
  • Why should we hire you?
  • Strengths & weaknesses
  • Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
  • Are you ready to relocate?

👉 Be positive, honest, and calm.

⭐ Bonus Tip (Very Important)

  • Dress professionally
  • Be confident, even if you don’t know the answer
  • Say: “I’m not sure, but I’m eager to learn” instead of guessing
