Event Summary:

During a recent session with senior students, valuable recommendations were shared to guide juniors in placement preparation. Emphasizing strategic and industry-specific preparation, the seniors advised tailoring efforts to meet the unique requirements of target industries and actively participating in pre placement talk Q&A sessions for critical insights. They highlighted the importance of developing a strong foundation in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), Operating Systems (OS), and Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA), while also maintaining clarity about undergraduate projects to discuss them confidently during interviews. Students were encouraged to craft company-specific resumes, focus on accuracy rather than the number of attempted questions, and approach problem-solving with a clear and logical mindset.

Competitive coding, aptitude preparation, and the ability to handle tricky questions were identified as essential skills, along with ensuring honesty in resume content. Additionally, they emphasized the importance of avoiding backlogs, aiming for a CGPA of 8.5 or higher, and using Python as a secondary language while focusing on C, C++, and Java as primary options. This comprehensive advice aims to prepare students for success in the recruitment process.
