Recently I went for a joint campus placement at DIET(Doaba institute of engg. technology) the acronym for the college name brings a drink to my mind. The placement drive was for 2010 engg graduates(specifically berozgars). Going for such drives make you aware that there would be even lesser Arts graduates as compared to engg. A strong feeling of hatred starts emanating from with in you saying ,"Why the hell i did engg? If I had to be treated as another sheep from the herd". But ab to jo ho gya so ho gya.
The drive was for Infosys technologies, screening test included aptitude and english test was of really tough level. Interview was an easy thing comprising just of HR. Strongly hope maximum get through and in that maximum I am also included. I didn't attended any of the earlier drives because the surrounding on the day of drive can make you suffer from claustophobia.
Some positive points of going for a joint campus placement drive:
1. You feel very good about yourself. This is so because there you will come across thousands of students ( words in bold are a true picture of any joint drive) who screwed themselves in engg entrance and are now a part of the same herd as you are so, to get an ego boost do go there at least once.
2.Joint campuses are generally for IT companies so, you'll be surrounded by large no. of beauties. So, for all those who waste fuel worth rupees thousands on geri's no need to do that from now onwards. Just visit any drive and to make your happpiness know no bounds these drives come up every month. So, see you guys there.
3. Real practical meaning of competition and its live example can be seen and observed over there. So , all those who are unaware of the term competition and cutoffs visit such a drive and all your doubts will be clear. When from thousands of students they will select only 100-200 students for interviews.
4. You'll start respecting the feeling of competition. When before your interview a complete stranger will update you with kind of questions asked from him/her during his/ her interview.
5. A great place to meet your college batchmates . Some of whom you hate meeting.
6.A great place to meet your school mates and I must tell you that you will love this. In some cases like mine will even thank God that I came here. I too met one of my classmate from 10th . Though I just talked to her for 10-15 mins but those minutes were really worth talking. I would do like to write a blogpost for her only if she allows me . And one thing I must tell girl your humbleness inspired me to be like you . It was great meeting you. Do tell me if i have the permission to write a blogpost for you.
7.Last but not the least for all those who are hunting for a boyfriend or a girlfriend(nowadays you can't be specific what a boy or a girl is searching for......lols ). This place can be the best, as employers can get there prospective employees ......so you can get your prospects and from plethora of options available.
These are some of the points which came to my mind and I typed them down here, additions are welcomed.
