What a day...

What a day! Today our 5^th semester started off. We are having our class from 7.30 am to 1 pm and for the best we had two hours of Java lab which we some how killed by shit-chat! The class was good part of the day. Actually my friend and I had planned to go out to town in evening... And we did...

Returning back to campus by 5.30, we headed straight to PAT (Placement And Training) centre to get updates of our friends who where appearing HCL Ltd’s interview... and to our surprise we got the news that results are out…! While moving to nearby computing centre my mind ran through the seq of writing exams and did a analysis of what I might get… and I got 8.76 GPA..

Here are my CGPAs for all the four semesters!

Semester	CGPA
I	8.78
II	8.86
III	8.93
IV	8.83

Placement Statistics

Here is the placement statistics so far at Vellore Institute of Technology. Our placement season for 2007 batch students started on 12th june with TCS being the first company.

TCS : 525
CTS : 232
Infosys : 108

It took TCS three days to complete (12,13 and 14). CTS and Infosys completed in one day itself. To finish it in one day.. CTS and Infi conducted small interviews... So those who where smart to show their communication skills got through.
The next company in line is Wipro and the IBM. We have to wait and see how many they pick!

Relax Relax Relax!

My new policy… Relax! After being placed I have learned to relax. A better word will be “Sleep”. Guess the number of hours I am sleeping. The “No classes” day puts me into a very simple schedule mainly sitting on comp or sleep.. So I am either on net or sleeping! So… My time is slow and steady…

I see others preparing for their interviews or roaming around with question papers!
My next activity is to teach them some things.. I have a class on Linux tonight! And after that I will be back on net.

The Infi people (Infosys) are here to recruit and I will give the statistics at night once the results are published. Till then its happy hunting ghosts on net!

Technical Interview

Night was long... no questions about it... I managed to wake up at 6.00 and do some study. Started with Java,networking,OS then Software engineering and back to networking. Initially my interview slot was at 5.30pm.. so i was going at slow pace... around 11.00am things changed. The interview was prepond to 2.30. We where supposed to report at the F block (where the interview was going on) at 1.30. Goodness!!! things changed so quickly..
My technical interview had two people. Oae a lady... my guess is .. she is from kerala... so as i entered and wished them .. she asked if i was from kerala... !! but that question had no effect with the interview. They did manage to srew me little but by the end of the interview I could manage and brought the interview to my side. He he!!!
Now It's time for HR... yet another long wait of 3 hours and i came to know that it will be held tomorrow morning... yet another night of tension!

Campus Placement

Time has come for me... today was the starting for placements season for 2007 batch of VIT. With the first company being TCS you can guess what was going through all our minds. Auditorium was packed by 9.30, but the function called Pre - Placement Talk started off at 10.00 am.
This time TCS had changed their examination .. they have made it online..
After PPT ( Pre-palcement talk).. we where split into 5 batches for the online test, and I was in batch 3. This was supposed to be followed by the interview but due to large number of students.. they moved to for tomorow!
