Campus Placements

Campus placement is probably the most important event that takes in a student's life. And especially if you are an undergraduate it is probably your first interaction with industry. Being in one of Mumbai's premier engineering college,VJTI, has many advantages. There is no dearth of good companies when it comes to VJTI-be it a core or software company. But being in VJTI certainly doesnt guarantee you a job.
After being rejected thrice -Siemens,Tata Elxis,Tata SED- I came face to face with reality. That i wasnt good enough. Yes getting good scores in exams in ok but when it comes to technical knowledge most of the people falter. Blame it on the college,profs or the outdated syllabus, the fact remains that several engineering graduates are not fit to be employed. And so the onus is really on the companies to train and transform these graduates from unemployable to employable.I really dont understand as to why we have four years of engineering when all we study during the first year are subjects which are of no practical use-physics,chemistry,maths.I still cant recollect what we studied in physics and chemistry.Instead they should limit the course to three years, so we can atleast start earning an year in advance.Something needs to be done about the state of engineering course in India-of course,except the IITs,NITs,IIITs. But the question is who is going to do it?
So anyways after three rejections, I studied like i never studied before. In 8 days i completed subjects spanning two semesters.Finally getting placed in WIPRO VLSI was a dream come true.
